MANS RIGHT TO WORK.
District Attorney jerome Is to Get Test
Case Before the Courts.

President Charles M. Eidlitz Of the Build
ing Trades Employers Association. called
on the District Attorney with his counsel
yesterday afternoon. Th6rewas an outcrop
of rumors Immediately that more labor
leaders were to be arrested on charges Of
extortion. Mr.. Jerome said:
They called simply to lay before me
state Of facts which, they said would be
verified by the testimony of number Of
witnesses, WHOM we summoned at once.
The case is simply that OF walking dele
gate who made demand that certain nom
union trim-work put into union built
building be torn out or that fine be paid. ,
$50 far as can find out. the mans per-
sonal honesty was not In question. Whether
there is law to hold him for criminal con-
spiracy is matter which we will determine
later.
As soon AZ may be, am determined to
get some definite and clear propounce-
ment from our higher courts as to the exact
SCOPE Of employers and employees in this
union business
sAs affairs now stand the courts themselves
are not clear in the matter. Courts OF the
same jurisdiction-in fact, the very same
courts-have handed down decisions which
are contradictory. The whole right Of any
corporation to enter into contract which
excludes any man from the right TO work
has vet to be determined.
AS soon as I can find way, am going
to bring the matter up in the form of habeas
corpus proceedings, il possible. and have
1t taken right up to the Court Of Appeals.
Then We will lSnow where We stand
The District Attorney said that at present
he is not preparing any case against any
corporation for conspiracy in its dealings
with labor representatives. But he would
not deny that he was contemplating such
! proceeding and that he hoped to have
such a case before him within "a short time.

station and one headed for East New York
were seen approaching.
The motorman signalled that he in
tended to back just as the conductor rang
for him to go ahead, 20 as to avoid the train
dashing along behind the car. So dazed
became the motorman that he shut OF the
electric current and his car stood notion
less between the tracks while the two trains
passed in opposite directions at high speed
It was an open car and there were men
passengers on the front seat, whose straw
hats were blown off when the up train
whizzed by.
After the danger was over somes of the
women passengers of the trolley jumped
on and ran away screaming.
Reports Of a big accident brought the
