prosecuting him. The bill probably will be-
filed tomorrow and will be directed against

The outcome will prove whether the nor
incorporation of labor unions will EXEMPT
them from liability for damages. The case
is ono Of great import to the labor move
ment all over the United States. Mr..
stiles bases his case against the paint ers
and other unions in the building trades, on
series of struggles against the opposition
of unionsm extending over ten years. The
final trouble occurred several months ago ,
when the unions demanded that a con-
tractor abrogate his contract with Stiles
on certain buildings before they would
touch the job

$500 600 in contracts and $50 900 in profits, >"
