Conditions and Cases.
aDi0arent conditions make differ
NC I'm the rights of all of Us. A small
erserobIage of persons. seeking peace
fruv and peaceably to gain a lawful
~ righteous end may do things which
1.rga body Of men with Ostensibiy
~ same purpose has no right to do
Sor the reason that that body of men
nv overawe. and in many instances
Al oyprawe. people who have rights
that must be respected
.Tf step up to one of you men and
8, pleasant and respectful way say:
q wish YOU would give me your money
and your watch 1t Is not likely to ter
hack and l say in the same tone. I
would like to have your money and
watch the effect upon your mind Is
rsrv different. 1t Is very different al
though I may use words of Cancellation;
may not utter a single threat against
Won. stfi the very fact of my having
those men at my hack makes a differ
emit impression upon your mind.
.Now. under ordinary circumstances
the question of the number OF men as
ssmbled together for what to them is
lawful purpose, has little to do with
the right of other people. but Under
conditions like these which have beer
shown to exist at the present time, PEG
ple are more or less disturbed.
For that reason it behOoves men,
Vlether there be injunctiOns or wheth-
or there be no injunctions; whether
there be trespass notices or whether
there be no trespass notices; IL be-
booves men at such a time to give nc
occasion for suspicion of their good in
tentOns,'
Explained His Injunction.
Judge Keller then explained that hts
Injunction was designed simply to pro-
tect the rights Of the persons who de-
sired TO peacefully labor.
The question" he continued. land
the hard question for you men to solve
and for the court to solve, is as tC
what precisely you may do at a Civ
On time without violating the rights oi
those men who desire to peacefully
labor The court says i'm the injunc-
lion that you shall not make those
men afraid, that you shall not intimi
date those men.
The court practically goes further
It has the right to If the circumstances
are properly made in the billiard
says you shall not force unwhotesom'
persuasion upon them under these cir
Cumstances. Now at any time that yoJ
meet these men in the ordinary cours.
you have the right to persuade then
20 Join your uniOns-a perfect right
And if you can show to them that i
IS to their interest to Join your unioT
why do It,
You have no right in any way t,
make those people to think your wal
because they do not quite think it SAT-
20 think otherwise.
Some Make Threats.
Now that, in a general way. is tn
limit OF this thing. I take 1t, men
that you know that when large bod!
OF men get together with the mos
peaceful and declared purposes in tn
world, but they have men amOni
them who have made and are making
threats and they are close to anothe
and smaller body of men who do no
think as they do and hold a ratification
and rejoicing meeting on their owl
side, that has a different effect unde
those circumstances on the minds o
the men who desire to go on wit
their work than a small gathering
peacefully persuading.
Now. the point of the 'nearness
There is no line. the Injunction lay
down no line. but it says you mus
not get close enough and act in bod
OF men in such a way as to intimidat
or interfere with those people who de
sire to work. In other words, yo
must not make them afraid. Yo
must not do things that will caus
them to fear the consequences, to leav
their work or to be deferred from do
ing their duty as they may see it,"
Judge Keller concluded his talk a
follows:
81 hope that you will take all I hav
said in the very kindly spirit in whic
u is intended. and that you will try
inteligently try-not to put yOurselve
IN the attitude of contemptuous dis
obedience of the orders of the court.
