Onio employer Has the hignt 10 Dis-

Ohio's statute which is intended to pre-
vent the discharge of workingmen for
afiiliation with trades unions was declar-
ed unconstitutional by Judge Pugsley of
the Common Pleas Court in Toledo. La
mont Bateman, general manager of the
Toledo tube works, discharged Alonzo
Cole. The latter promptly brought suit
before a magistrate and Bateman was
fined. The case was then carried into the
Common Pleas Court by the indictment
of Bateman by the grand jury. Judge
Pugsley heard the argument on de-

unconstitutional and that the facts did
not constitute cause of action. The
court holds that the discharge in this
case was not such an act that the en-
ploye was compelled or coerced TO leave
his union, and that his discharge was
lawful act. He holds that the statute
is purely class legislation and unconstitu'
