AT yorkshire Inn there is pianist
who can render an accompaniment to
any song that any singer wishes to
sing. He can not read a note of music,
yet, in the local phrase, he "can play
,wt" Recently, however, he met with
an unexpected check. A new volunteer
hummed over the air, but the pianist
failed to get the key. Lets try it
again. he said and they tried it again.
Still it was of no use. A third trial
brought no better results. Then the
pianist turned on the singer in anger
and said: "Sitha, Awe tried tina on
t.. white 'uns. Awe tried tina on t.
black 'uns an Awe tried tina on t.
black and white 'uns mixed. It's no

PICKETING
HRLD To Be LEGAL
Labor Injunction Passed on by
Court Of Appeals.

Chicago, Oct. y Considerably mod
fled and with number Of its para
graphs vacated the federal court in
junction issued against the Iron
Molders' union No. 125 of Milwaukee
during the strike at the plants of the
Allis-C Chalmers company several years
ago was upheld by the United States
circuit court of appeals. The decision
was rendered by Judges Grosscup, Ba-
ker and Seaman.
The injunction was issued by Judge
Sanborn of Milwaukee on complaint of
the Allis-Chalmers company and re-
strained the union from picketing the
is-Chalmers plants. Individual mem
bers of the union were later found
guilty of violating the injunction and
were punished for contempt of court
The final decree of the court in the I'm
junction proceedings involved four To-
cal unions of the national organiza-
tion of iron molders and some sixty
individuals who were members and
officers Of the unions. An appeal from
the decision of Judge Sanborn was
taken by the unions and presented to
the court of appeals last fall
In enjoining the unions from picket
ing the higher court made modifica-
tions which makes the injunction en-
join them only from "picketing in a
threatening or intimidating manner"
The court also held that the lower
court went too far in prohibiting
peaceful picketing and held that there
was no reason for enioining boycott,
because none existed.
The injunction contained sixteen
paragraphs, each making provision
against the unions. OF these para
graphs six were vacated entirely and
three were modified by the court OF
appeals.

iused week or two ago to grant the
application Of Thaw,sr counsel for
hurry trial on the sanity question and

hat the jury In the last trial for muir

was denied.
Thaw's counsel then declared that
