PIcKETING Is HELD LEGAL.
Judge Chetlain of Chicago Says Unions
Nav IJse Peaceful Methods

Judge Chet1ain of Chicago Says Unions
May Use Peaceful Methods.
Labor unions have a right to establish
pickets in the public streets and high
ways for the purpose of inducing, in good
faith and by peaceful means, non-unlon
workmen to leave their places. Judge
Chetlain of Chicago handed down this
most important ruling the other day. 1t
was in the case of the petition for tenn
porary injunction filed by Robert Tarrant
against the local lodges of the lnterna-
tioual Machinists' Association and the
union pickets, which have patrolled the
streets near his shop, to restrain them
from interfering with his workmen.
Though the ruling is directly opposite to
that of the federal court in recent
case, Judge Chetiain granted the injunc-
ton, but he was careful to explain that
1t was not because Tarrant's place was
picketed. but because the pickets had
used threats and possibly violence. After
expressing his views on the question or
the right of the employment of pickets
by strikers, Judge Chetlain qualified it
by saying that though pickets have the
right under the law to use persuasion
they have no right to resort to violence.

WINTER WHEAT GOOD.


y
in Most Localities.
December. 1901, was abnormally cold
throughout the upper lake region. central
valleys and Southern States. where the
temperature averaged from three degrees
to eight degrees below the normal, the
most marked deficiencies occurring in the
central Mississippi, lower Missouri and
lower Ohio valleys. In the middle At
lantie coast districts the month averaged
colder than usual, but the deficiency in
temperature was generally less than
three degrees per day, and slight def.
ciencies in the monthly mean tempera-
lures are also shown over the central
and southeastern Rocky mountain slopes.
The month averaged milder than usual
over the greater part of New England,
in the Pacific coast States, except along
the immediate coasts Of Oregon and
Washington, throughout the northern
plateau region, and over portions of the
middle and southern plateau region, the
most marked excess occurring in Idaho
and Montana.
Winter wheat was subjected to very
trying temperature conditions from the
14th till about the 23d. &lring which Pc
Rod extremely cold weather prevailed
throughout the lake region, central val
legs and Southern States. Fortunately
for the crop, however, a light covering
of snow afforded very material protection
in the principal wheat-growing States
during the period OF greatest cold. At
the close of December the condition of
winter wheat was generally satisfactory

of Illinois and Missouri, and in Nebraska
and Kansas, the reports being less favor

middle Atlantic States. The outlook on
the Pacific coast is highly encouraging,
although drying winds and absence Of
rain in California have been unfayora-

in portions of the upper Mississippi and
central Missouri valleys, Oklahoma, Ar

Officer Sherwell was supposed to be at
work trying to fathom the case when he
was arrested. Buggy tracks were found
leading to and from the scenes of both
crimes and the first fact which drew
suspicion TO Sherwell was that the tracks
might have been made by a surrey which
he owned. He took considerable pains
to conceal the fact that he had been out
with the rig the night of the murder and
this action strengthened the suspicion of
his superiors. A stranger, thought to
