STILES WANTS AN 1NJuNor1oN
Charges Union Labor with Breaking Up
His Business at Chicago

Chicago Sept. 10.-Alleging that I'M
ion labor organizations and leaders
have attempted to drive him out of
business, John NJ. Stiles, painting con-
tractor. has filed suit in the circuit
court asking for an injunction restrain
ing the defendants from interfering
with his business. For years, Stiles
says, he has been forced to give up
valuable contracts, through a con-
spiracy between his rivals and the la
Dor unions, by which strikes were called
on every job he undertook. The ad-
visory board of the buildings trades
is one of the principal! offenders, ac-
cording to the bill.
The unions involved include the
painters, paper hangers, gas filters,
plumbers, carpenters and electrical
workers. The labor troubles COM
planned of took place in connection
with the painting contract for twenty
three houses on Ellis avenue, between
Fifty second and Fifty third streets,
belonging to S. L. Gross, and the paint
ing of the Magnus foundry, at Forty
first street and Emerald avenue. Stiles
efforts to run an independent shop in
Chicago in the face of the union laboc
threats, intimidation and assault are u
commentary on the lawfulness of the
associations named.
Threats to kill my employees were
made" he says. ''They are called
'scabs' and 1 was told that my bust
ness would be broken up and ruined.
1t is the settled purpose and rule of
conduct of the advisory board of the
building trades and other defendant
unions to induce by strikes, threats of
strike. boycotts and other unlawful
means, contractors and such persons
who had made contracts, or We're about
to make them with me, to repudiate
the same and declare them forfeited
solely because / employed workmen
who were not members of the de-
fendant unions.' Stiles now has a
damage suit against the unions for
$4,000 in connection with the same
state of facts.

his duties will be to go to the front in

out bias, the Turkish government be-
lievfng that If the real facts are known
there will be a change of sentiment in
regard to Turkey. MorcOmbe said:
Il have arrived at the conclusion
that the Turkish race is infinitely su-
perior. historically. ethnically and
morally. to the mOngrel races with
which the Turkish government has to
deal. The provinces where the blood
shed is now going on are hOtbeds of
anarchy. and anarchy is seeking to use
Christianity as a cloak to its attacks
on the organized government, hoping
by this means to place the Turkish
government in a false light before the
Christian world. 1t will be an evil
day for good government everywhere
If these anarchists succeed in closing
the eyes of the nations to the real
facts"

a two-year county certificate.
ID The eXamination will be conducted UNI

the examination at any time set for a, gen.

pected there will be many graduates to
examine this year. Each graduate of an
approved institution under the new law
will be entitled, on passing the examina-
ton specified, to a, tWo-Xear state GER
