An Injunction issued by Justice Could in Wash
ington will be far-reaching in its effects upon
members of labor unions, as it will practically de-
stroy the boycott and the publication of the eun-

union men being thereby urged not to buv the
products of the firm. The court ruled that the
injunction applied to the District of Columbia
Should this decision be upheld and similar opin-
ions rendered by courts of other States the
unions would be prohibited, under the law from
Doycotting, IN public manner, any concern with
whom their relations were not cordial.

Doesn't Depend or Monstnosties.-
In the struggle for prominence in the
theatrical world. many of the noted
playwrights have sacrificed all in their
efforts to outdo each other in sensa-
tional incidents. Crimes are idealized,
pugilists are brought from the fistic
arena and forced upon the modern
theatergoer. Criminals have the halo
of romance thrown around them and
episodes which are an insult to human
Intelligence are graphically depicted
in the mad rush for theatrical popu-
larity. Happily this is now on the de-
crease and the better class of patrons
demand their extinction. In the sue
cessful romance The Girl of the
Sunny South" all these repellant feat
ures are eliminated and that stirring
play does not depend upon any of the
above monstrosities for its power to
entertain, thrill and amuse. It is a
pure story of intense heart interest
with powerful situations, comedy
complications and brimful of musical
and vaudeville features. Edith War
rem. the dainty comedienne. heads the
carefully selected cast. The play
comes to the Illinois tomorrow.
