A FAR-REACHING DECISION.

Federal Judge Holds that the Western
Union, or any Employer, May Discharge
Employee With or Without Cause.
Judge Rogers in the United States
Circuit Court at st. Louis, Mo-, has
rendered decision sustaining the
demurrer of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company in their labor injunc
ton case of Boyer ct al against that
company. In the written opinion
Judge Rogers sustains every point
urged by Attorney Elenious Smith,
representing the defendant company,
holding that the company has the
absolute right to dismiss employees,
because they belong to the union, or
for any other reason; that there can
be no conspiracy to do a lawful act;
that the 80 called black list may be
maintained and given out for the use
of others.
The case resulted from a bill filed
by Telegraph Operator Arthur Boyer
and others, alleging they were mem.
bers of the Commercial Telegrsphers'
Union of America, local Lodge No. 3,
of St. Louis, and that they had been
discharged from The service of the
Western Union Telegraph Company
solely because they belonged to the
union.
The bill sought to prevent the
Western Union Company from dis.
charging any employee because Of
membership in the union, and the
st. Louis officers of the Western
Union from conspiring to that end,
and to prevent interference Of any
kind with the union and to prevent
the Western Union Company from
maintaining black list and placing
thereon the names of those who
might be discharged because of be.
ing members of the union. The Wes
tern Union Company demurred and
WAS sustained by Judge Rogers, of
Arkansas, sitting in the United States
Circuit Court, to-day. Judge Rogers
held that the Western Union Com
pany had the absolute right to dis
charge employees not under con-
tractual relations With the company,
for any cause or without cause; that
like right exists on the part of the
employee to sever his relations with
the company for any cause or with.
out cause; that if a contract of en-
ployment is violated the recourse of
the employees is at law and not by a
bill in equity, snch as was brought
in this case; that there could be no
conspiracy to commit lawful act,
such as he held to be the discharge
of the companys employees because
of being members of a union; that
the company had the right to main
tain list on which might be placed
the name Of discharged employee
and the cause of discharge, and this
list might be given others, provided
it's contents were truthful and it's
circulation honest; that if, as the bill
alleged, the union was formed for
moral and proper purposes, there
should exist no objection upon the
part of an employee to have his dis
charge based upon the mere fact
that he was a member of such an
order.

Reviews a United States Fleet
In Time of Peace.

For the first time in the history of
the country, the President Of the
United States on Monday reviewed
and inspected in time of peace, a
great fleet Of United States war ships.
The ceremony which took place just
ont Oyster Bay, was magnificent
and impressive naval spectacle. It
was unmarried by the slightest mishap
until just at it's conclusion, when the
torpedo boat destroyer Barry rsmmed
the destroyer Decatur, fortunately,
however, doing little damage. The
incident was exciting. 1t occurred
just at the moment when the Pres-
dent was receiving congratulations
upon the success Of the manoeuvres.
THE REVIEW.
The review took place off Long
Island, two and half miles off the
entrance to Oyster Bay. President
Roosevelt, in company with Secre-
tary of the Navy Moody, Admiral
Dewey, Rear Admiral Taylor, Rear
Admiral Rodgers, Capt Brownson,
Gen. Chaffee and Gen. Barry, stood
on the bridge of the auxiliary crusier
Mayhow as she steamed SLOWLY
down one column Of the war ships
and up the other. The two columns
extended twenty five hundred yards,
the ships being anchored at inter
vals of five hundred yards. As the
Mayflower passed each ship in the
two columns the yards and rails of
each we're manned by jaclzies in white
duck, the marines we're paraded and
presented arms, the Presidents "a
Int of twenty one guns was fired,
the buglers sounded flourish, the
drummers gave four rullles, the band
played "Hail Columbia" and the
entire crew stood at salute. AS the
Maytower swept majestically past
each ship the crew Of the saluting
vessel gave the President three
cheers AZ the Commander. in Chief
of the army and navy of the United
States.
THE PRESIDENTS RECEPTION.
At the conclusion of the review
President Roosevelt received on
board the May flower all the com
manding officers of the twenty two
vessels in the fleet He received
also the British, German, Russian
and Japanese naval attaches.
President Roosevelt entertained
his guests and all the commanding
officers Of the fleet at delightful
luncheon on board the Mayflower.

Another Lecture Course.

course another winter.
With that end in view cards will
be distributed at Germaine's enter
tainment Monday night and 1t is
hoped each person in the audience
will answer the questions and post
the card.
Better dates and terms can be made
with the lecture bureau If the arrange.
ments are begun at ono Many an
noyances and disappointments in this
course resulted solely from the work
being undertaken so late in the sea-
SON.
The present course when completed
will include eve f~irst-class enter
tainments at the nominal price of %
cents apiece for adults and IA cents
for children.
This has been made possible by the
public-spirited generosity Of a few gen.
tlemen who have donated at least $3.50
worth of work in advertising, printing,
use OF hall, reserving Of seats, and in
other ways. These efforts in establish.
ing the enterprise or a firm basis de-
serve the highest commentator.
Are the patrons willing to agree to
buy tickets for another course? The
benefits have been so apparent in the
entertainment Of adults and the edu.
cation of children, that the enterprise
has passed the experimental stage and
1t will be left to a vote of the public

not.
