gle at the time his offer Of $4,000 was
accepted it was stipulated that a sum
not less than 10 per cent Of the amount
must be raised by the city TO maintain
the building and library. This sum, So
600. is double the amount needed when
the books were housed in the old library
building. Now the trustees have decided
that the entire library must be recatalog-
ed. $1,000 volumes. at cost OF $4,000 at
least This brings the budget to raise
for library purposes up to nearly $4,000,
to be raised next year by a direct tax.
Tho new building which was planned to
cost to erect about the sum given by Mr.
Carnegie, has really cost $4,000 more
than that, and the trustees say there IS
none too much room for the books. While

IN OUR OWN STATE
IMPORTANT SUPREME COURT DE-
cIsloN.
Judge J. M. Tyler Delivers the opinion In
the Rutland Labor Union Conspiracy

Judge J. N. Tyler Delivers the Opinion In
the Rutland Labor Union Conspiracy
Case.
A decision was rendered Tuesday after
noon by the supreme court, in session at
Montpelier, in the case Of F. r. Patch
Manufacturing Co., VS.. Protection Lodge,
No 2t5, International Association Of Ma
chinists, the famous conspiracy case from
Rutland county. The Montpelier Journal
gives this summary:
In county court the plaintiff recovered
a verdict of $4,000 and costs after a long
and hard fought trial. The supreme
court now sustains the judgment Of the
lower court in every point. The exc
ceptions of the defendant are all over
ruled, the law of the case as contained
in Judge Haselton's charge to the jury Is
found without error, and the action of the
same judge in denying motion for
new trial on the ground of improper con-
duct by jurors is also approved. This
case was tried about a year ago in county
court and is of great interest to union men
and business men. In brief the court
holds as follows:
Workmen have n right to form unions
for their own protection and the advance
ment of their own interests. They have
a right to unitedly leave the employment
of their employer, or, in other words to
strike. But each man or body Of men in
a union must leave to every other man
or union the free choice of course OF
action. Men who have struck may ask
others not to take their jobs and may rea-
son with them to get them not to do so.
But no intimidation on coercion, either
physical or moral, can lawfully be used
to such an end Interference with the
free choice and judgment with respect TO
employment and being employed Is un-
lawful
In the use of stickers and circulars
there must be no false statements to mis-
lead other workmen, and there must be
no threats, if the law is to be obeyed
If an employer is injured by strike,
| in order to recover damages he must
| prove his damage due to the wrongful
| acts of the union or individual members
| thereof. The mere fact that by strike
! an employer is made short handed for n
mill or factory and thereby is damaged
| is not enough Various unions may
unite to strike in support of each other
! so long as they do nothing unlawful
| conspiracy in this matter is a combina-
| ton of two or more TO do some act by
! unlawful means. II some of the strikers
! do unlawful acts with the consent or APP
prevail express. or implied, Of the others
all are liable. If the strikers or unions
| combine and cOnspire to prevent an
| employer hiring other men for the pur-
pose Of securing recognition Of the union
| it is unlawful. Threats Of boycott made
| against men to prevent their going TO
work are unlawful The use Of fear, in
timidation, or bribery to keep men away
is unlawful as are threats Of ostracizing.
| The seeking to injure the employer by
getting customers to boycott him or get
ting stores to boycott the men is unlaw-
full.
The opinion was read by Judge Tyler
and required about an hour and fifteen
| minutes

Much interest is being manifested in the "Deestrick Skule," an entertain ment to be given in the near future by the ladies of the Baptist Church. This play is said to be the finest amateur entertainment ever given. It consists of a days routine of school life In a country schol of fifty years ago. In this "skule" grown people take the parts of children. and miss lessons, say speeches, read compositions, eat dinner out of tin pails at recess, play games and create lots of fun for themselves and their friends. There is nothing dignifed especially about the parts or the costumes. Miss S. c. Battaile of Nashville, Tenn, will assist the ladies with the program. While a student and teacher in Nashville, Miss Battaile as- sisted the Masons with the "skule" for charitable cause. The play was given there for ten winters in success sion, $1,051 being cleared the ninth winter. The play has been so success full that Miss Battaile's services were in demand, and she has taught the "skule" in nearly every large city of the South. The participants in these "skules" have been Congressman, Gov ernors, editors, lawyers, doctors. minis- ters of every denomination and busi- ness men with their wives and daugh- ters. The ladies will be assisted here by some of the most prominent people of the city.
