Federal JUDGE IS plain.
Wherein Law Protects Employers
and Employees Alike.
COURTS PROTECT ALL RIGHTS

Parlsersburg, w. Va, July CO.
Judge Jackson in rendering his opin-
ion on an injunction case supported
the right of the courts to use injunction
and the right of laborers to work when
they wish to do so without interference
from organized labor or any other
source. He says that the power OF in
junction by courts has been recognized
from a very early date, in all branches
of administrative justice. Its use is to
prevent wrongs and injustices to per-
sons and their property, or to reinstate
such rights when they are disturbed.
He said:
81 do not question the right of en-
ployes of this company to quit work at
any time they desire to do so, unless
there is a contract relation between
them and the employer which should
control their right to quit At the
same time do not recognize the right
of an employer to coerce the employees
to continue their work when they de-
sire to quit.
"While 1 recognize the right of all
laborers to combine for the purpose of
protecting all their lawful rights, do
not recognize the right of laborers to
conspire together to compel employees
who are not dissatisfied with their
work in the mines to lay down their
picks and to quit their work, without
just and proper reason therefor,
merely to crafty a professional set of
'agitators, organizers and walking
delegates who roam all over the coun.
try as agents for some combination,
who are vampires that live aud fatten
on the honest labor of the coal miners
of the country.and who are busybodies,
creating dissatisfaction among class
of people who are quiet, well disposed
and who do not want to be disturbed
by the unceasing agitation of this class
of people.
'In the case we have under consider
alton these defendants are known as
professional agitators, or organizers
and walking delegates. They have
nothing in common with the people
who are employed in the mines of the
Clarksburg Fuel company.
The strong arm of the court of equity
is invoked in this case, not to suppress
the right of free speech, but to restrain
| and inhibit these defendants whose
only purpose is to bring about strikes
by trying to coerce people who are not
dissatisfied with the terms of their en-
ployment, which results in inhictinG
injury and damage to their employers
as well as to the employees.
1.-THE right of citizen to labor for
wages that he is satisfied with is O
right protected by law and is entitled
to the same protection as free speech
and should be better protected thar
the abuse of free speech In which the
organizers and agitators indulge Ii
trying to produce strikes"

Gently cut a remarkable tourmaline. 1t
was taken out at Mount Mica three or
four years ago, but was Kept inN his
cabinet. as it was at first considered
too light colored to make good gem,
Most of the stone is very light green,
shading into a Very light pink at one
end. Mr.. Merrill cut it SO as to bring
the pink at the apex of the gem, ana
the cutting throws the color out, Civ
ing the stone a peculiar sort of salmon
tint, such as was never seen i'll any
other tourmaline. The stone weighs
41H carats, and is one Of the largest
perfect gems ever cut from a Mount
Mica tourinaline. 1t is cut with
seyenty-four facets.
