The court said there was little
room for argument of the question
as to whether the plaintiff had shown
the existence of an unlawful combi-
nation and conspiracy to destroy its
business, and the record leaves no
doubt that the plaintiff has been and
still is the object of boycott, using
thlt term ''ln its most obnoxious

destroy its business, such conspira-
ty as has received the condemnation
Of every federal and state court in
