Il BLOW TO THE UNIONS.
Attempt to Force L0borers to Com
biRe Found Illegal.

Boston, June 21-The Massachusetts Supreme
Court handed down a decision to-day holding
that the attempt to force all laborers to combine
in unions is against the policy of the law, be-
cause 1t aims at monopoly OF the labor market.
The decision was in the case Of Michael F.
Berry against Jerry E Donovan. representative
Of the Boot and Shoe Workers Union, and the
defendant is held personally liable to damages
for obtaining the discharge of Berry a
union shoemaker, from his place in a Haverhill
shoe factory because he was not a member of
the union. The court holds that the contention
that the discharge of Berry was justified on the
score of warrantable competition was not good
defence in the case. The plaintiff author
lied TO recover judgment the $500 verdict
ordered at trial in a lower court.
The employing firm was under agreement with
the union to hire only union men and not to re-
tain workman after a notice from the union
that he was Objectionable. Donovan declared
that he acted under this agreement. but the court
holds he was not justified. The court says:
We have no desire 10 put obstacles in the way
Of employees who are seeking by combination TO
Obtain better conditions for themselves and their
families We only say that under correct rules
OF law and with proper regard for the rights OF
individuals labor unions cannot be permitted to
drive men out OF employment because they
choose to work independently.

said they were promoted solely merit and for
public and police reasons; that they therefore
started out in their new fields without any handi-
cap. and that it was only just for him to expect
from, them high degree of efficiency integrity and
