PEACE PICKETING.
Subject of Remarks by a Chicago
Judge in an lniunc.
ton Case.
HE DECLARES IT PERFECTLY LEGAL
Believes That Alleged Violators of
Restr ainging Orders Should
Have Jury Trials.

Chicago. Jan. 4.-Judge Chetlain, of
the superior court. has granted an in
junction against unlawful picketing
by machinists of the machinery plant
of Robert Tarrant, sc Illinois street.
The decision is a radical departure
from the injunctions issued by the fed
eral courts. Judge Chetlain ends his
order with Il strong plea that before
any citizen is convicted for violating
an injunction the facts should he
Judged by Il jury. The jurist holds
that in such cases the judge issuing
the injunction is too much prejudiced
in favor of his own order to act with
out prejudice. Peaceful picketing is
upheld.
Origin of the Difficulty.
The Tararnt case grows out of the
big machiniStS' strike of last May,
when 1000 workmen threw down their
hammers and chisels and left the big
machinery shops OF Chicago to stand
idle. \ settlement was effected with
the Tarrant concern. but 4 short time
ago it was discovered that Tarrant had
taken work for the AlliS-Chalmers
plant. where the strike was still rag
ing. Although whlte-haired and bowed
with age Tarrant detied his men when
they demanded that the work should
be removed. The old Octogenarian
said it meant failure in business if he
didn't take any work he could get.
Then Followed the PicketIng.
In spite of this, the machinists,
twenty-five in all. went out. Then fol-
lowed the picketing. While the atfi-
davits in the case are conflicting, it is
claimed that non-uniOn workingmen
who took the strikers places We're
frightened away by the pickets.
Crowds gathered in the streets and al
leys near Tarrant's shop. Applicants
for work were given 4 warm recep-
ton. "Scab'' and other epithets were
hurled at the new men. Fists were
doubled in their faces and insinuations
made that the outsiders should have
their faces kicked OFF.
Union Evidence and the Decision.
Business Agent Ireland, of the Ma
chinists' union. declares that five of
the seven picketS were men 30 years
old and the other two temperate and
discreet number of machiniSts
swear there was no violence or threats.
Judge Chetlain holds that evidence
shows there was more than argument.
inducement and peaceable persuasion
used, and that the acts of the pickets
and those accompanying them consti-
tute continuing trespass and inter
ruption to cOmplaintant'S business.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 17.-(speclaI
Telegram ITO have two games taken away
from them in sluggenfests in two innings
was the fate OF Omaha in the double header
here today. After trailing behind with the
visitors one run to the good up to the eighth
inning Kansas City jumped in and batted
out six hits, which netted Ave runs giving
the locals the irst game by a score OF 2 to
Q. And to add insult to injury, the Manning
ties repeated the dose in the last game,
only doing their disastrous work with the
willow In the fourth inning. II was with
the same number OF hits and same num-
Der Of runs. getting a lead which the visit
ors, try as they might, could not overcome.
although they fought gamely until the last,
and in a great finish came very near tie
ing the score, which was 6 to 8. Omaha
got one more hit In each game, but 1t could
not bunch them. while the Meaningless
moved along a while with hardly no hits,
only to take them all In q row.
Owen was on the firing line for Omaha
In the FIRST game, and up to the eighth
inning pitched an elegant game, having held
the locals down to three hits. The eighth,
however. undone all his good work, for
Kansas City landed on him in succession for
six hits, slamming the ball to all corners
OF the lot. Weimer opposed owen and kept
the visitors hits fairly we'll scattered.
Graham slammed them over for the Kid
napers in the second game and ran up
against the same volley that owen had en-
countered, only his came at a little earlier
stage. the fourth being the time when the
boards were ratified on the fence. Omaha,
rs in all previous games, had started the
scoring. and at the end of the fourth in
ming had three runs. Then Kansas City
came along and chalked up Hve in it's half
OF the fourth and added another In the
fifth. Kansas City was three runs ahead
when Omaha came to bat for the last time,
and for a while It looked as though it
would turn the tables on the locals. Pears
struck out, but Graham laced out a beau
tiful triple to left and Carter followed by
beating out a bunt so badly that no effort
was made to throw him out. Hickey
ANN and Genins uncorked a triple to
right. driving in Carter and Graham. Omaha
was only one run behind, two outs and the
heaviest hitter in the league was at the
bat. and IL anyone could tie the score II
was Stone. Nichols seemed to have him
hypnotized, however, for he made three
desperate swings at the ball without any
damage and Genins died on third.
Gonding's base running was one OF the
features Of the FIRST game, he stealing three
bases. Thomas knocked a home run In
the fourth inning of the second game with
