then that about 80 of the men banded
together and decided to take holiday
on Saturday afternoon also, asking
permission for the half day. This de-
mand was not granted as thew had to
work only three hours in the after

In the afternoon the 80 weavers did
not return, to work, taking it upon
themselves to not work after being
told by the company's officers that
they were needed TO finish some work.
On that afternoon there were only 10
weavers at work on the SO looms in
the plant. Some of the men were
sick, while others had been given off.

was then that they were notified that
their services were net needed and
J that their paw would be made ready

thing is going on as though nothing
had happened. The officers CT, slider
the act of the men unjust and without
grounds for the breach. as they had
granted their request. Some of those

HARTMAN WINS A POINT.
Court Enjoins Jim Hill from Oistrib-
utins Assets Of Northern securi-
ties Company.

Trenton, n. J., July l5.-Judge Brad
ford to-day granted a preliminary in
junction In the suit brought by Edward
II. Hartman, Winslow Speyer and 9TH
ers to restrain the proposed pro rata
distribution of the assets of the North
ern Securities Company. This is a
defeat for the Hill interests. The
opinion is fifty typewriter pages in
length.
The litigation turned largely on the
question as to the title of the North
ern Pacific stock which l.. II. Harri-
man and Winslow Pierce put into the
combination, and which amounted to
about S79OO0,O0O. The contention of
the Northern Securities Company was
that the stock had become the abso-
Lutte property of that company and that
II was perfectly legal for the Northern
Securities Company TO carry out the
pro rata plan OF distribution upon
which the company had agreed. Harri-
man contonded that by reason of the
corporation being declared Illegal by
the United States Supreme Court title
had not been passed from Hartman
and Pierce, and in consequence they
were entitled to have returned to them
the particular stock they had put into
the combination and which involved
control OF the Northern Pacific Com
pany.
