INJUNCTION SOUGHT BY THE
UNITED MINE WORKERS DENIED

Trinidad, Colo, December 15.-Dis-
trict Judge Northcutt yesterday rem
dered his decision in the injunction
case OF the United Mine Workers Of
America against the Victor Fuel Com
DAILY, the same suit as that given a
hearing before Judge Lindsey in the
County Court two weeks ago. Judge
Northcutt takes practically the same
ground as did the County Court, and
dismisses the suit with costs to the
plaintiffs, but allows bill of excep-
tions. The plaintiff Immediately gave
notice of an appeal to the Supreme
Court.
The prayer Of the petitioners was for
an order restraining the Victor Fuel
Company and it's employees in their ca
pacity as officers of the law at Delagua,
from interfering with the organizers OF
the United Mine Workers in their ef-
forts to pass through the town to es-
tablsh a relief camp for the strikers
and to talk with the men there at work
about the strike. in order to induce
them to quit work.
"Divesting the various ground OF
complaint on alleged interruption and
interferences of all legal verbosity,'
tho court says, "about the only pro-
hibition of which the plaintiffs serious
ly complain and which stands out
prominently through the mass OF tes-
timony introduced, is the denial OF
their opportunities to converse with
the men in said town and persuade
them to cooperate in the pending
strike. This is the only real business
which the plaintiffs have shown to
have in mind at the time they desired
to visit said places and the perform
ance of things incidental to said ulti-
mate purpose 1t does not appear that
these plaintiffs or any of them have
any property, business interests or
homes in, about or in close proximity
to said towns or along the roads lead
Ing to or from the same. On the other
hand, it appears that some OF them are
non-residents of the state, and others
live at considerable distance from the
scenes of this difficulty and were cailed

there only for the purpose above men
toned
mo one denies the right to persons
situated as these plaintiffs, or in any
other calling wherein labor is en-
ployed, OF combining for their mutual
benefit and for their mutual advance
ment joining in strike. and to this
right as an incident belongs the addi-
tional right of appealing by lawful
means to their fellow laborers or OF
those who seek to take their places
to join them in their efforts, but this
right is purely personal in its nature.
one incidental to the liberty of a hu-
man being to do and say that which he
pleases SO long as he does not inter
fere with the rights of others, but it
does not come within the category OF
vested property rights which can call
to their aid the strong arm of court
of equity.
1T does not appear from the evil
dence or otherwise that the persons
with whom they seek to confer are
demanding any such conference or that
they are expressing any dissatisfaction
with their present situation; they are
not appealing to the court for aid or
protection. and the presumption OBJ
tanned, if any is to be indulged in, is
that they are satisfied with their situa-
tion... If they are and desire to pursue
their work (and they certainly do or
they would not be pursuing it, 1t is a
right and a privilege which they have.
and they have the right to enjoy that
privilege free from molestation and an
noyance. That right is certainly as
sacred as the right of plaintiffs here to
talk to them. at least the courts should
not be party to forcing them into
conference which they do not appear
to be seeking.
From the evidence in this case we
cannot remain blind to the fact that
the conference referred to is the prin-
cipal and paramount benefit to be OBJ
tanned by the action, and we repeat it
is not a controversy which can claim
recognition by a court of equity or in
which court of equity should assist
either one side or the other"

American Jockey Wins Case.

Paris, Dec. 15-The court which has
been hearing the arguments in the case
of Tod Sloan, the American jockey.
against the French Jockey Club for
1000 damages for being warned of
the turf in connection with Rose de
Malls winning of the Prix de Diane at
Chantilly in May last. yesterday found
in favor of Sloan and condemned the
Jockey Club to pay the costs. The
court, while holding that Sloan's COM
plant was justified, pointed out that
he had not showed that the course OF
the club had caused him serious loss
and limited the damages to the expense
of the action.
The case involved the Jockey Clubs
sole control of the French turf admin
istration.

what remarkable cases. | had
number of skin tumours small
ones on my arms which had never
given me serious trouble; but about
two years ago one came on my
throat. At first it was only about as
large as pinhead, but, as it was in
a position where my collar, if not
just right, would irritatc it, it soon
became very sensitive and began to
grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, if not larger, than bean.
A little unusual irritation of my
collar started it to swelling, and in
day or two it was as large as
half an orange. ! was very much
alarmed, and was at loss to de-
termine whether it was esrbuncle
or a malignant tumour.
