RIGHT TO PICKET
UNIONS WILL APPEAL BISnARCk
CAFE CASE.
Anxious TO Have an Authoritative
Decision in This Important Nat
ter-Citizens' Alliance Backing
the Other Side of the COntrO-
VerSy.

Seattle, Dec 14.--To picket or not
to picket is a question that Will De
passed up to the Supreme court for
final determination. Judge Hatch,
sitting in the superior court OF this
county, has decided that such acts on
the part of unions are unlawful, and,
as he expressed himself, "repugnant to
all sense of American justice" As the
questions now stands, SO tar as this
county is concerned, this is the law,
and all picketing and boycotting are
ia bOoed
The ques ton arose in the suit OF
William Jensen, proprietor Of the Bis
marck cafe, and was the outcome OF
the strike in his place Of the mem bers
of the local Cooks and Walters union.
After the men had walked out of the
place they congregated outside, and
each person about to go in was notified
that strike was in progress and was
requested to withhold his patronage
until all differences had been settled.
In retaliation Jensen applied for a re-
straining order prohi biting picketing
of his place of business on the ground
of conspiracy and that his business
was being ruined by such practices.
To this demurrer was interposed and
when argued was overruled by Judge
Hatch. Since that time the pickets
haven OF been in evidence. fbak
The matter is, however, only held in
allegiance. The unions are anxious
that the question be settled, once and
for all. and to this end an appeal is to
be taken to the supreme court Ac-
cording to l.. Frank Brown, attorney
for the union, the question will be
squarely on the complaint made by
the plaintiff, Jensen. The allegation
will be first that it does not state facts
sufficient to constitute cause Of &C.
ton and, secondly, that picketing, in
itself, is not unlawfoul if only accom-
panied by argument and moral suasion
The papers on appeal are now being
made out and will be fled with the
clerk of the supreme court in short
time. When the court convenes an
effort will be made to have the case
placed on the calendar for January,
and it is expected that decision will
be rendered not later than February.
Mr.. Brown will represent the unions,
while James B. Howe will appear for
the Citizens Alliance, which is back
ing Jensen in his present controversy
with the union.

ing Good Exhibit.
Olympia, Dec. 14.-Charles Ross,
assistant in the Office of State Horti-
cultural Inspector A. Won Holderbeke,
was in this city day or two ago and
presented plan to the governor for in
surfing a more attractive fresh fruit
exhibit for this state at the Lewis and
Clark fair next year. Mr.. Ross plan
is to preserve as much fruit OF this
seasons crop as possible in cold stor-
age over winter for display in the open
ing days of the exposition.
There is no appropriation available
for that purpose, and some arrange
ment would have to be made looking
to the sanction of the project by the
coming legislature if state aid is ex-
tended to it. In Thrston county the
preservation of considerable fruit in
glass jars has already been accom-
plished through the efforts of the hor-
ticltural society and the Chamber OF
Commerce.

Russia" he says, "has been ena-
bled to reinforce Kuropatkin with the
best troops of the entire army only
through the wholesale depletion of the
garrison of its western frontier. which
is now in hourly progress. Nothing
but the honorable friendly neutrality
of Germany, as we'll as of Germany
ally, Austria Hungary, permits the
carrying out of such plans. Russia
was obliged to conclude peace during
the Crimean war because Austria be-
gan to mobilize. The car need fear
no such diversion during the present

Big Movement to Have Con-

Shop is Started.
Result of Rural Mail Carriers
Taking Active Interest in
Political Work,

Washington, Nov. 24.-Infuences
close to the administration declare that
at the session of Congress which opens
in December a bill will be introduced.
the purpose Of which will be to pre-
vent the unionizing Of employees in
government institutions. In other
words, it is expected that Congress
Will declare for the open shop.
1t is said that ever since the elec-
ton Republican congressman have been
conparaing notes and some of them, at
least, complain that the Republicans
suffered from the efforts of the rural
letter carriers to defeat certain con-
gressmen.
The apparent object of the bill is to
attack the principles Of organized labor
although aimed only at the letter car
riers. On general priciples it will be
opposed vigorously by the Democrats
in congress.
The startling statement is also made
with reference to this bill that it is
not only to be "ant1- closed shop" but
that it is to go further, and prevent
the banding together Of employees of
the government to effect any purposes
save those strictly benevolent. The
administration Is understood to be
deeply concerned in the proposition,
and it is thought there will be little op-
position to it when it's terms are un-
derstOOd.
