GLENNS MAKE CHARGES
PLAsTERING CONTRACTORS SUE THE
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION.
Allegations Read Like n Chapter from
Chicago's Labor TroubIe-Othcr
Cases i'm the Courts.

John S. Glenn and Charles W. Glenn,
day filed suit in the Superior Court against
the Cooperative Plasterers' International
Association No. 46, Of Indianapolis and
Marion county and the officers of that as
ISOLATION, asking for an injunction and
$4,000 damages.
The plaintiffs aIlege that the officers of
the association are conspiring and have
entered into a conspiracy to damage their
business; that the defendants have. since
August, 1902. made threats against them
and visited and written to contractors,
architects and material men telling them
that if they did business with the Glenns
the association would boycott them; that
the defendants have attempted by threats
and persuasion to get the laborers of the
Glenns to strike. BY these means they
have prevented the plaintiffs from obtain
ing any large contracts.
The plaintiffs further say that prior to
August, 1902, members of the association
were employed by them at different times.
That the association assessed a fine of
$500 against the Glenns for the benefit of
the association here and its branch at An
derson. The plaintiffs did not know that
the assessment was TO be made and they
allege the fine was imposed with the in
tention of driving them out of business.
They refused TO pay the assessment and
of their men have almost ruined their bust
ness and they seek to have the association
enjoined from interfering with their men
or preventing them from accepting con-
tracts and ask damages for the loss they
have suffered by reason of the alleged
cOnSpiracy.

MASTERY OF A MAN.


Chicago Journal
Whatever may be thought of Dowie in
his capacity of spiritual guide or of his
belief in his own teachings, there can be
no two opinions of his ability as leader of
men. That is of the highest order. 1t has
appeared so from the beginning when, I'M
known, frendless and ridiculed, he began
his remarkable career in Chicago. II has
appeared all through his ministry which in
just ten years has brought him a bindly
devoted following OF many thousands of
human beings. Ii appears especially now
when. accompanied by more than 1900
men and women, who have given up all TO
be numbered among his flock, he is setting
out on a new crusade. Whether ne be a
fanatic or charlatan. at any rate he has
a genius for organization and leadership
hardly. if at all, inferior to the great Ma
poleon s.
When it is carefully considered. this new
crusade of Dowie's in the year 1903 is much
more remarkable than the crusades of the
middle ages. When Peter the Hermit was
rousing Europe against the Saracen his
hearers were ignorant beyond our compre-
hension, and superstitious as the savages
worshiping voodoo in the heart OF the At
rican forests. Not one in hundred thou
sand could either read write. None of
them had any instruction except in re-
lgion. To them Christ was as near as
any of their contemporaries. and heaven
and hell were real their own door,
yards The crusaders, too, lived by rapne
and robbery. and they knew that In the
Holy Land rich treasures awaited the
strong hand of the despoiler. All this being
so. IL was an easy task To persuade them
TO undertake adventure against the in
fidel. They had nothing to lose and every
thing to gain in this world and the next.
How different and how infinitely more
difficult are the conditions Dowie has had
to meet and overcome 500 years laterl APP

burns feebly and dim, when heaven and

of this amount was in United States bonds

goods, the value of which was placed at
