A decision Of great Importance was
rendered the Ger day by Judge Baker
in Chicago. A young lady had been
blaekhsted by three canning companies
agreeing not to give her employment.
She sued for damages The Judge de-

would be lawful for her and any of her
friends to agree not to work for those

one side must be law for the other. II
Is expected that higher court will de-
clare either form of conspiracy unlaw-
