Furnishing STRIKERS.
All Violence Growing Out of Strike
Can't be Punished Under Law of 1877.

Chicago. March 6-The contention OF
the Employers association that all viO-
lence growing out of a strike could be
punished under the railroad act Of 1877,
was overruled by Judge Honore in the
case Of Fred Olsen and Frank Shorn,
members of the Janitors' union. who
were accused Of assaulting two non-un-
ion janitors during the strike two years
ago.
The decision is the first authoritative
Interpretation of the act by a court of
record and is regarded by labor men az
an important legal victory Attorneys
for the Employers association have
contended that any interference with
the business of firm or individual
could be punished under the act. Dur
ing the teamsters strike last summer
Jerry McCarty business agent Of the
Transfers union, was held to- the Grim
inal court by Justice Dooley under the
act.
The law, which was passed immedi-
ately after the strikes OF 1877, forbids
interference with the business Of any
railroad corporation or company, or
with any other Individual or firm.
The attorneys for the union argue
that the intent Of the Legislature was
to protect railroad companies and that
the words 'other firm or individual"
were put In 10 make the act consttu-
tional and not class legislation.
Olson and Shorn were indicted under
the railroad act and for assault with
deadly weapon. They will be tried only
on the latter charge.
