LEGITIMATE BUSINESS.

Persuasion is not unlawful" says
United States Judge John L. Garland,
in answer TO the request OF the I.-..
cago catalogue house for a temporary
injunction againct the Commercial

so holds that every move made by the
Retail Merchants and by the CONNER.

means and is but the natural run OF
competition. 1t is sweeping victory
for legitimate, trade. .-.t
The decision of Judge Garland goes
into the case fully. and occupies some
ten typewriter pages.
The. court asserts that retail deal
ers have a lawful right to Gi5ree
among themselves as to which job
bers and manufacturers they will pur-
chase goods from and also that they
have the right to inform each other
as to which houses do and do not sell
goods to mail order concerns.

OF the Commercial News and not as

that as such publisher, he may free.

Should Montgomery Ward & Co.
care to secure redress against the
Commercial News, the court nolds
that it has the same rights as any
other citizen, 10 more and no less,
which means that the case must be
for libel and tried in the state court.
That the catalogue house will be
equally unsuccessful IN securing per
aanent injunction at the trial at the
