tice of the Peace.
Des Moines, Ia, Sept. S.-Justice
Halloran yesterday rendered de-
cision in justice court in the case
of Ryan VS.. Charles Weitz d Son, III
which he held that labor union is a
pool or trust, the operation or when
is in direct violation of section oooo
of the code of Iowa, which says ANY
corporation or organization having Tor
its object the maintenance or regula-
ton of any commodity is a trust OF
pool"
The American and English Encyclo-
pedia of Law specifically defines labor
to be a commodity, and it is on these
two authorities that Halloran formed
his opinion. Ryan is backed by the

ty the supreme court will ultimately
