he saw in paper Il report that he had

the Lehigh Valley Black Diamond eX-

n ride on top of one of the cars. and
managed to climb up there.
The distance TO Pfttston Junction,
where he wanted to go, is ninety-fve

tilator was slight one, and he had
to cover his face, for the sparks from

swept down his neck and filed his

suffocatcd him, but he held on When
the train reached the junction he was
so weak he could hardly stand, but he
soon recovered, walked five miles to

A SERIOUS BLOW
GIVEN TO LABOR

New York, July 19.-The judgment
of the lower court has been reversed
by the appellate division of the SUI
preme court in the case of the National
Protective Association of Steam Fit
ters and Helpers and Charles McQueed
against the Enterprise Association and
its officers, impleaded with William ].
O'Brien as president of the Board of
Delegates.
Judge TruaX gave Judgment perpet-
ually enjoining the defendants from in
tcrfering with the work, business or
employment of the plaintiff associa-
tiou or any of its members. The in
junction forbade the coercing. or OBJ
taining of Il discharge by any employ
er, of McQueed or other members, by
commands, threats. strikes or other
wise. Judge Mclaughlin writes the
opinion of the appellate division. Re
viewing the evidence, which shows
that the defendants struck or threat
ened to strike in three cases, but did
not use force or commit any breach of
peace, he says:
1T cannot be seriously questioned
but that every workman has right. in
the first instance, to say for whom and
with whom he will work This right
is guaranteed to every person of legal
age and who is competent to contract,
under our laws. An employer has alb
soiute right to say whom he will en-
ploy. and employe has a right to say
by whom he will be employed and with
whom he will work. The right is recip-
rocal and once that right is destroyed,
personal liberty is destroyed. One does
not lose this right when acting with
others, so that employers may COM
binc and say they will not employ per-
sens who are members of labor organ
izations, and laborers may combine
and say they will not work for en-
ployers who engage any but members
of labor organizations"

Stouch learned of it and ordered the
Utes home. The Cheyennes knew of
the Utes' coming and had made prepa-
rations to receive them. They refused
to tell how the communication between
the two tribes is maintained. Not
