LEGALITY OF BOYCOTT
Case Of Widespread Interest on
Trial vt Washington.
VITAL PRINCIPLE AT STAKE


of Labor From Continuing It's Fight
Against the Products of a St. Louis
Manufacturing Concern.
Washington, Nov, 15.-The case Of
the Buck, Stove and Range company,
of st. Louis against the American
Federation Of Labor, brought to en-
join the federation, with, its member
ship of over 100000 persons, from
eboycotting the products of the plain
tiff company, was given q hearing be-
fore Justice Gould in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia. The
case has attracted widespread inter-
est because of the effect of the ulti-
mate action on vital principles of Or
ganfzed labor and possible far-reach-
ing developments Of a political ma
t,lre. 1t is generally understood that
whether the prosecution or the de-
Tense wins in the decision of the dis
trict court the case will be carried to
the supreme court of the United
States.
The bill of equity in the case cites
the powerful organization of the fed
Grafton and the methods by which, it
is claimed, the entire forces of the
federation are concentrated on an es
pecial boycott. In this case, while
the application of the Sherman anti
trust law is only incidentally in
volved, it does involve the question,
important to business interests, as to
whether the unfair" and eve don't
patronize" lists as published in the
Federationist constitute an unlawful
boycott.
The plaintiffs presented lengthy af
fidavits as to the operation of the fed
GRAFTON, upon which they claimed a
preliminary injunction should be
granted. Counsel for the defense OBJ
jected to these affdavits On the
ground that there was hardly salient
feature in any of them that was not
hearsay. The defense contended that
the proceeding was an attempt to in

LIGHTNING PRANK
ON THE DRY DOCKS
Knocks Four Workmen Down
and COnfuses Them
One Thinks Another Assaulted Him
and Finds other Sprawled
On Ground.
NO ONE SERIOUSLY INJURED

Lightning struck four men at the
Paducah Dry Docks yesterday after
noon at 4 o'clock during the thun-
der shower. None was seriously in
jured, but all were hoored by the
bolt. The lightning was attracted by
the steel tools in the hands of Dick
Thomason, a foreman; Louis Moss,
VIII Jordan, and Tom Bass, carpen-
ters.
Feeling a sharp, heavy blow on his
right wrist and directly afterward
on his right ankle, Louis Moss turned
fiercely on VIII Jordan, his supposed
assailant He saw Jordan sprawling
on his back across a wooden horse,
and Thomson, the foreman and
Bass, were raising themselves from
PROSTATE positions.
Jordan, just previous to the
stroke of lightning. had called Moss
to help him and Moss supposed when
he was struck by the bolt, that Jor-
dan had thrown a block of wood at
him. Moss had no tool in his hand,
but was straining at a timber. Jordan
had "a brace and bit in his hand and
the lightning, according to the other
men on the docks who saw the oc-
|currence, played up and down this
bit until Jordan was knocked back
ward Thorhason had a saw in his
hand and his experience was the
same as Jordans. Bass had a crow
bar in his hand pricing out rotten
timbers from the towboat Nellie and
was sent Keeling from the shock
Where the lightning struck Moss
on the wrist and ankle, there are two
scars about an inch and half long
each; of a whitish color. His leg was
twisted sharply as the lightning ran
down from his wrist to his ankle. iThe
Others have no scars as the light
ming did not strike their persons, but
the tools Ia their hands
The dry docks are peculiarly in
viting place for lightning. After the
rain yesterday, the men were stand
ing on the wet docks and all the tim
bers they were handling, were wet.
Water is one of the best conductors.
The lightning played visibly all up
and down the steel rails of the Hi
nois Central railroad trestle on the
Bank above the dry docks.
Aside from the four men directly
struck by the bolt, a boy was floored
as he entered the door of the tool
flatboat, and men on other parts OF
the docks felt the effects Of the
lightning.

City Will Let Contract For
Lateral Connections as a
Whole and Pro Rate Cost
Among Property Owners :
Meanwhile Other Plans are
Held in Allegiance
CONCRETE TILE FOR DRAINS

Not for two months. probably. will
the work of paving Broadway and JEFF
ferson street from Ninth street to the
Illinois Central crossings be under
taken. This contract has to await
the sewer connections in the two
blocks, and the sewer connections
have to await the acceptance of the
entire system of sewer district, No.
2. by the city.
1t is believed that the sewer sys-
tenn will be built in 80 days. Then
1t will be inspected by the city, If
accepted, contracts will be let for
running laterals from the sewer
mains to the property lines along the
route.
The laterals will be laid under
contract let by the city for the whole
work. When Bridges & Son took
tho contract for sewer district, No. 2,
it was stipulated that they should
make certain connections at a special
price. 1t was found that this COM
pany was binding itself to make con-
nections where the low ground made
| 1t especially difficult and expensive,
while other contractors would have
opportunity to bid on that portion of
the work out of which money could
be made. The company was released
from this lateral contract. and then
the city determined to let the con-
tracts for connections as a whole, and
pro rate the cost among property
owners.
Bridges & Son agreed to this, but
stated that no connections may be
made until their work is accepted by
the city The Broadway sewer is
laid and ready for connections, but
they cannot be made until the rest OF
the sewer Is finished.

of suggesting that con-

used for the underground drainage
of Broadway from the Illinois Cen

When the concrete cutters are built,
the underground drainage system is
Installed. The contract with Katter-

the concrete thing is manufactured in
Paducah, Mayor Yeiser feels inclined
to suggest an amendment of the con-
