order a strike to have such right re
spected was determined in the affirm

is divided in its decision, the prevail
ing opinion being written by Chief
Judge Parker and concurred in by
Judges Gray. O'Brien and Caight. 1t
is diSsented from by Judges Bartlett,
Martin and Vann.
Defines Some Basic Principles.
In his opinion Judge Parker holds:
1T is not the duty of one man to
work for another unless he has agreed
to; and if he has so agreed to. but
for no fixed period. either may end n
contract whenever he chooses. The one
may work or refuse to work ut WILL
and the other may hire or discharge
at will WWkingmen have the right
ing higher wages. shorter hours of la
Dor. or improving their relations with
their employers. They have the right
To strike provided the object is not to
crafty malice or inflict injury upon
others. but to secure better terms of
employment for themselves \ peace
full and orderly strike is not violation
of the law.
Have the Right to Quit Work.
"a body of men who have organized
for purposes deemed beneficial to them
selves have the right when they feel it
is detrimental to the interests of their
organization to refuse to work. Their
reasons may seem Inadequate to others.
but if il seems to be i'm their interests
rs members of an organization to re-
fuse longer TO work it is their lawful
right to do so. If the conduct of the
members of an organization is legal
in itself il does not become Illegal
because the organization directs one OF
fits members to state the reason for its
conduct.

accept the estimates as final In
former years they have sworn off
their assessments so freely that there
has been S75.OOO.OOO difference be-
tween the figures made out by the
assessors and those finally recorded
on the rolls.
