CONSPIRACY LAWFUL
Judge sanborn sustains Right to
Strike, and Ever conspiracies, Nf
Latter Are Formed to Promote the
Interests of Labor.

Madison, Dec. 12.-"The right to
strike for any cause or no cause is clear
and fully sustained by all autho -ity.
Even conspiracy to strike. followed by
legal damage, is not unlawful if formed
to better labor conditions"
This is an extract from the decision
of Judge A l.. Sanborn, in the Uns.e'i
Statcs district court, which was handed
down today in the case of the Allis
Chalmers Company against the Iron
Molders' Union, of Milwaukee. II is
probably one of the first opinions
wherein a conspiracy might be sane
toned as lawful. The opinion says:
"The right of workingmen to COM
bine in trade unions In order to Sc
cure an economic advancement of their
members. Is also unquestioned, and
such unions are generally regarded as
beneficial Institutions, bettering the
conditions Of labor and the relations
between employer and employed.
Whether the threat to strike or bring
about a strike, when made by num-
ber OF persons acting in concert is
lawful, is an entirely different question.
The conclusion to be drawn from the
case, as applicable to these cases, is
that the combination of the defendants
union and its members with Defendant
0'I.ealy to strike, and further to en-
force the strike. and If possible to
bring the employers to terms. was not
because grounded on just
cause or excuse. being for the economic

New York, Dec 12.-Fdnes aggregat-
ing $150,000 We're imposed by Judge
Holt in the United States circuit court

sent to the dismissal of the other in
dictments against the American Sugar
Refining Company and the Brooklyn
Cooperage Company.

SHEA WOULD DYNAMITE.
More Sensational Testimony in Trial
Of Teamsters, Head.

Chicago Dec. IA dynamite plot
introduced into the Shea hearing yes
terday served as climax to the most
sensational days disclosures which
have vet attended the Official inYesti-
cation into LABOR union methods in
Chicago. Cornelius p. Shea was rep
resented to Michael Kelly, former Sec
retary and business agent of team
use of dynamite to wreck the building
at 20 Lake street. where non union
drivers were being quartered.
The inability to find secret agent
crafty and daring enough to carry the
plan into execution alone stood between
Shea and wholesale murder, according
to Kelly. The defense stood aghast
before the weight of damaging evil
dence which was accumulated during
the day, and the strain told visibly up
on Shea and his associates. Counsel
for the defense confessed themselves
unable to undertake the task of cross
examination and it was deferred until
today.
Less sensational but scarcely less
damaging was the testimony adduced
In support of the conspiracy charge.
1t was shown by the prosecution that
a boycott list had been furnished the
teamsters' organization by W. D. Ryan,
secretary of the Illinois branch of the
United Mine Workers, a labor organi-
Zatlon which had not hitherto been di-
rectly implicated, and that union pick
cts on the pay roll of the Federation of
Labor also acted as private detectives
ostensibly safeguarding the interests oe
the public while they were furthering
the interests of the striking teamsters.
Shea later over his signature white
washed" these pickets furnishing them
with credentials to show that they had
acted as private detectives and special
police officers with his knowledge and
appreciation and that they had re-
mained loyal to the teamsters' cause.'
The states most drastic blow was
reserved for late in the afternoon.
Kelly was asked to relate a conversa-
tion that he had with Shea at the
headquarters at SO Madison street.
do you remember when the nom
union teamsters were housed at 20
Lake street?" Attorney Miller asked.
Il do
do you remember a conversation
you had with Mr.. Shea relative to 20
Lake street?"
Yes, SIR" the witness replied
What did Mr.. Shea say to you?'
Mike, do you know any man in
Chicago who is familiar with the use
of dynamite?" Kelly quoted Shea as
having asked.
Upon his replying in the negative
co;d Cloo ar1y od.
well, know of two men in Penn
sylvania who would turn the trick if
had them"
"I said 1 wouldn't be party to any
thing of that Sort" Kelly said.
