PIckETlNG ILLEGAL.
Declares Strikers Have No Right to
Resort to the Practice.

Topeka, Kan, July 29-Judge
Smith Mcpherson of the United States
circuit court for the southern dis,
trict of Iowa has rendered an opinion
regarding the right OF strikers to eS-
tablisn picket line Santa Fe Of
fcials here today received notice OF
the opinion. 1t is attaching much at
! tention among the attorneys and
others who nave seen it. In one por>
! ton of me opinion Judge Mcpherson
says.
There can be no sucn thing as
peaceful picketing any more than
there can be claste vulgarity or
peaceful mobbing or lawful lynching."
The case that brought forth Judge
McPnerson's words arose over the
differences that tne Santa Fe road
lad with its employees during the
strike of 1904, When the machinists
! threatened the strike tne company
discharged the instigators and since
/ that time there has been a lockout,
| Pickets We're put out by the men
when the company brought an iniunc-
ton. Judge Mcpherson says the
right of the company to discharge
men with or without cause can not be
questioned and the right of the men
to quit their employment either ind
vidually or as union is equally be,
yond dispute Continuing the opinion
OF the court says:
There would not have been the
! slightest occasion for bringing this
case If there had been any sincerity
and honesty of purpose by the local
authorities to maintain peace and
order. intimidation, force, violence
and brutality were all winked at. be-
cause of the belief on the part of Ger
tain peace officers that they would be
/ kindly remembered on future election
! days, instead of remembering that
the great majority of the people of the
city are law-abiding and would re,
ward those who would maintain peace
and preserve order to say nothing or
the peace of mind arising from duty
performed. Tle evidence shows that
parties in the employ of the company
have been assaulted by the strikers
for no offense, for no wrong, for no
crime, but solely because they elect
ed to work under terms mutually
satisfactory. The accused stoutly
deny any completely. Employees have
been denounced and called 'scabs'
ana the most vulgar and profane
names applied to them for the sole
reason tlat they elected TO work
when work was offered to them OF a
satisfactory character and at prices
agreeable. But the truth tends to
show some Of them guilty.
THE test of manhood and the
rights of man for property is not to be
measured by braggarts or DULLES, or
vulgarity, or profanity, and the
saloons must not be the place where
supposed rights are to be decreed, as
the evidence in this case SHOWS has
been attempted many times by some
Of those on the strike. This court
has a concern that peace and quiet
prevail, and that a state Of serfdom
shall not exist by so-called system
of picketing' of one crowd of men
over another. No self-respecting
nan will submit to II, nor is ne com
rel.ed to submit to II, nor does ne
have to result to force to get rid OF
It. He need only apply to the courts,
state or federal and he will be given
al, order to end it."
