show that Mcintosh has been on the most
friendly relations with many members of
Inc union and has never complained of be-
ing disturbed. That the affiant Mcdowell,
VINO testified for the complainants, has
twice been In the union rooms on friendly
visits, ana Gottesman, referred to by COM
pIainants Roberts and Thomas, who SIM
larry gave his affidavit, has been In union
rooms unaccompanied; that the affiant
Dolan has been very friendly with the union
men; that affiant Forrest has discussed the
situation with members of the union and
made demands upon the union which it was
not willing to give; that the affiant Myers
mas announced himself as a good debater
and desired to go over the whole situation
with the chairman of the eight-hour COM
mittee; that the affiant Underwood has
freely discussed the whole matter with an
otner union man and that the relations
with the afflant Diamond have been en-
tireiy friendly and his statements as to
threats of violence have been absolutely
disproved; that the affiant Baier has sought
to obtain money from the union for serv-
ices rendered against the typothetae.
As to Serious Interference.
Further, the defendants say, as to the
aVerments of the typothetae as to serious
interference with their busfr ess, the union
has no knowledge of 1t, but that on many
occasions In public print several of their
members have stated that they were get
ting on perfectly well without union men,
and the answer cites affidavits that many
of the employees have left the typothetae
offices when they found that such offices
were open Shops and others because
of the actual practice Of deceit upon them
In their engagement, and that they believe
others. will leave when they understand
that under the contracts given by the en-
ployer they have the right to discharge
them without remedy to the employee; that
they believe the more general knowledge of
conditions affecting the offices in question
will prevent their obtention of many skilled
men. They further deny that the union is
about to begin a systematic boycott, and
know nothing of any confederacy with labor
organizations to destroy compliments
business. They further deny that their
me mbers are financially irresponsible, and
in order that the court may be possessed
with full knowledge of the actual condition
of affairs. they point out that of 400 men
employed in Offices which would have been
affected by the present strike, the complain
ants only employ about So so that "the
typothetae find themselves unable or
willing to grant to their workmen what
four-flfths of the employers similarly stu
ated have already granted"
In concluding. it is contended by the de-
PENDANTS that the bill is bad In substance
as being too vague and indefinite. and fails
to set up any cause of action of which
court of equity could take cognizance, and
that none of its averments are maintained
by reference to any specific instance of
wropgdoing.

Food of thc Oyster.

'AIany gallons, probably many bar
rels, OF water are drawn through the
gllls of each oyster each day" writes
university professor. "and the micro
scopic beings that 1t may hold are
strained out and pushed along into the
oysters mouth. Each microscopic or
ganism Is a long time in travelling from
the point where it first touches the gill
to the oysters stomach; all this while il
is alive and capable of becoming the
parent OF new generations when re-
moved from the gill and placed under
suitable conditions. Most OF these or
ganisms are wholesome TO man, and all
that enter the oysters stomach are
quickly kiiie5 aud converted into its
palatable and nutritious substance. but
so long as they are travelling along the
gills all are alive and. some are ex-
tremely dangerous 10 man. The oyster
exercises choice in the selection OF its
food, rejecting some Of the microscopic
organisms and swallowing others. but
those that are discharged into the wa
ter with the sewage Of cities are not
unfortunately among the ones that are
rejected. and before these have entered
the oysters stomach they are most fa-
vorably placed for gaining entrance
Into human stomachs and multiplying
there"
