Massachusetts Supreme Court
Hands Down a Sweep
ing Decision.
COMMON LAW RIGHT
Union, However, Must Not Involve
Third Parties TO Injurious
Extent.

Boston, Oct. 1S-"The right of la
such organizations by instituting a
strike is an exercise of the common
law right of every citizen to pursue his
calling, whether of labor or business,
as he in his judgment thinks ut. Ihe
unions have right to determine what
kind of workmen shall compose the
union"
Appeal From Injunction
This is the sweeping ruling of the
supreme court of Massachusetts in a
decision handed down in the case of an
appeal from an injunction obtained by
the stone pointers against the stone
cutters After going on to say in eff
feet that one union may legally COM
bine against another union, even to
the point of disaster to the union COM
bined against, the court rules that it is
not legal for a union to involve an in
nocent third party in it's dispute
1t says: I'm our opinion organized
labors right of coercion and compul-
sion is limited to strikes on persons
with whom the organization has
trade dispute, or to put it another way,
we are of the opinion that a strike on
A, with whom the striker has no trade
dispute, to compel A to force B to
yield to the strikers demands, is an
unjustifiabie interference with the
rights of A to pursue his calling as he
thinks best

BlZertd. Oct. lS.-Ihe Sunken suO
marine boat Lutin was located this
morning by the tug Cyclobes.
No Hope for Crew.
Paris. Oct 1S.-In spite of the fact
it was announced from Bizerta this
morning the spot where the submarine
boat Lutin sank Tuesday had been
definitely ascertained, hope of rescu-
ing the crew has been practically aban-
dOned at the ministry of marine. In
deed the prevailing impression there is
the crew was Immediately killed or
rendered unconscious by the accident,
the cause of which. however. is still a
mystery, though theories on the sub
jcct are numerous.
Would Abandon Class Of Boats.
Some newspapers express the opin-
ion the repeated accidents to subma-
Tine boats should lead to an interna-
tional agreement TO prohibit their use
claiming it is proved they are more
dangerous to their own crews than they
are ever likely TO be 10 the enemy.
Hope Abandoned.
Paris, Oct 1S.-All hope for the -
men imprisoned in the submarine Lutin
in deep water at Bizerta, Tunis, was
abandoned last night. when the follow
ing message was received by the min
istry of marine:
THE operations OF the divers have
not been successful up till nightfall.
Work has been suspended until tOmOr-
row"
While the work of rescue was given
IuFD Iou
in the salvage work expressed the
opinion that all on board the Lutin had
perished. II is not certain even wheth-
er the boat itself ever will be raised.
Divers Gropc in Nnin.
The exact location of the submerged
boat had not been found when dark
ness fell. Divers had reached the bot
tom, but owing TO the roughness of the
sea they were unable to remain below
sufficiently long to make thorough in
yestigation. Fourteen salvage vessels
now form a Gordon around the spot
where the Lutin went down.
The divers descend in relays and
are displaying untiring energy. All
their endeavOrs, however, to obtain |
definite knowledge as to the Lutin's po- |
sitiOn in order to permit the utiliza-
tion of the powerful lifting apparatus |
on the spot have been in vain.
The British admiralty has sent the
be battleship Implacable. the cruiser Car
narvon, and the torpedo boat destroyer
Albatross, as we'll as several tugs, to
assist in the search.
May Have Killed Crew.
Members of the crew of the tug Ish-
mul, which conveyed the Lutin on its
last voyage, declared that the submar
inc plunged twice successfully and that
after it had gone down for the third
time its bow showed twice above the
surface of the water before it finally
disappeared. This leads to the belief
that the catastrophe resulted from d
sudden leak at the stern. The water
probably rushed in rapidly and over
turned the accumulato.s. This would
cause deadly fumes TO emanate from
the acids and the crew would have no
chance for life

The higher priced fallacy and
other costly results of protection
run mad are working out results
that are perfectly logical. One OF
these results is that a consumer
can buy American goods in Europe
cheaper than he can buy them in
America. Another result is a vast
loss of capital, accumulated in the
United States and taken abroad to
be enjoyed there by those who ac-
cumulated it. In time this means
of escape from the extortion of the
tariff made monopolies may be re-
sorted to by thousands, thus tax =
