WITHIN ITS RIGHTS
Labor Trades Council Has Right to-
Control Its Members, Says At
torney Kolliner.
Electrical Contractors injunction
Case Was Expected to Go to
Judge To-day.

& Can central labor organization control
the actions Of Its own members?
This according to Robert Kolliner at
torney for the Labor Trades council which
is now fighting an injunction asked by sew .
eral electrical contractors, Is the only real
point to be decided by Judge Cray in rem
dering his decision.
There must not be force, intimidation
or violence in our conduct Of cofnpeti-
ton against non-union men, said Mr..
Kolliner this morning. But when a court
says that you can't control your own labor
for the welfare and upbuilding of your
organization, 1t Is going a step too far.
1t is taking an action which is not sus-
tanned by the theory Of our government
on by the laws as laid down In the best
authorities" n tss
The attorney contended that the plain
lifts were simply fnterlopers. "The con-
test, If there be any, s. he said, lis between
us and non-unfon men. The plaintiffs
are in no way a party thereto and for the
purposes Of this trial case do not recog-
n1ze them as conbatants in any sense Of
the word. Our contest, and that Is all
that has been shown, is simply legal and
lawful competition against non-union men.
We want the work, the non union men
men also want the work. Each side is
entitled to get it If possible and our ac-
lions have been merely part Of competi-

for terms of three years, to act as orgnfl-
izers He also advised the publication Of
a journal by the society, by merginb all

THE HO0DOO IS R00DO0ED
Grocers Guido the Bad Weather Man
and Get a Fair Day for
Picnic.

Minneapolis grocers have found bright,
cheerful, generous hoodoo to hoodoo the
rain hoodoo which for so many years
hoodooed their pfcnics. The new hoodoo
showed itself master Of the situation up to
the time Of going to press by keeping off
all signs of bad weather and allowing the
grocers to enjoy to the full their annual
outing. The grocers, therefore, had no
regrets that they had closed their stores
and gone to Lake Minnetonka, where, in
order to keep dry, 1t was not necessary
to jump into the lake. The picnic was
held at Lake Park and into the hours at
the lakeside was crowded much sport, as
will be seen from the following program:

on the excursion steamer, J. j. Hill, the
supreme lodge of the A. o. U. W., adj
journed its yesterday morning session in

lodge will discuss at length each SUCCESS
ton made with the idea of meeting on
common ground.
