recent decision at length and declares
a purpose not to comply with all its
terms. 1T is an invasion of the lib

made Injunction and not by statute law
makes the menace all the greater.
THE matter of attempting to sup
press the boycott of the Buck Stove
and Range Co. by injunction. while i'm
portant, yet pales into insignificance
before this invasion and denial of con.
stitutional rights. We discuss this
injunction and feel obliged as mat
ter OF conscience and principle to pro-
test against its issuance and It's en-
forcement, yet we desire 1t to be clear
ly understood that the editor of the
American Federationist does not con-
slider himself thereby violating any law
of either state or nation, nor does he
intend or advise any disrespect toward
the courts of our country. And yet in

Tended and maintained"
Mr.. Gompers states that the services
of some of the foremost lawyers in
the country have been secured, and
that the case will be carried to the
United States supreme court.
The action against the Federation of
Labor and its officers was brought in
the supreme court of the District of
Columbia on the ground that the pub
lication of the stove company in the
"We Don't Patronize" list in the Amer
lean Federationist was In the nature
of boycott. Justice Gould's order
has been complied with in this respect
by dropping the stove company from
the list.

Y UNION TO D|SBAND
DECREE is ENTERED IN FIGHT or
GLASS WORKERS.
BY A JUDGE At CLEVELAND.
The Amalgamated Window Glass
Workers Of America Is Declared
to BE an illegal Trus. IN Re-
straint Of Trsic.

Cleveland, Jan. 25.---A Anal decree
was entered Friday In the suit of the
cutters and flatteners against the
Amalgamated Window Glass Workers
of America by Judge George j.. Phil
lips, in common pleas court.
The decision dissolvcs the associa.
tion of window glass workers, which
was composed Of the various workers
employed in the glass trade, including
the cutters and fatteners. The com.
plete amalganation of all the workers
into one association was completed
about six months ago.
The cutters and fattencrs insisted
upon being allowed to use machinery
In their work This was forbidden by
the bylaws Of the association. Ma.
chimes are used extensively by the
so-called glass trust, where the bulk
OF the glass workers are employed.
The use of machinery, II is said, was
punished by expulsion from the un.
ion. To be non-members Of the union
meant practically no work. For this
reason the cutters and ilatteners en-.
deavored to have this feature OF the
bylaws changed.
A long fight between the two ele.
ments In the union ensued which re-
suited In the cutters and fIattcners
bringing suit to tiissolve the associa.
tion, an apportionment of the funds OF
the union and an injunction to restrain
the union from interfering with the
use of machinery and to restrain the
union from prohibiting the withdrawal
OF the cutters and fiatteners from the
union and forming separate organ.
iZation.
While Judge Phillips scored the as.
sociation as being an Illegal organiza.
ton In restraint of emL loyment, in
fact labor trust, and that It's con-
tracts with the other organizations
absorbed by II and It's bylaws were
Illegal. yet the court was very partic-
ular to explain that he referred to tho
glass workers alone and not to labor
organizations in general. He said la
Dor organizations generally were ne
cessity and that the intent of the law
is to foster such organizations.
The funds of the association, while
reported to be near 100000. are, in
fact not more than $4,000. The court
suggested that they BE- left In the
hands OF the treasurer Of the associa.
tion, who should become q trustee for
the court; that all debts ne paid and
that any balance should bo distributed
among those who contributed toward
the fund, and not as members of the
union. Notice of appeal was given.
Following the announcement oi
Judge Phillips decision. officers and
members Of the AmalganIated Window
Glass Workers held meeting and cr'
ganized new association, to be
known as the National Window Glass
Workers, its membership to include
practical window glass blowers, gath
erers, fiatteners and cutters. A con
stitution and bylaws, claimed to- be
legally drawn and not to conflict or be
opposed to statutory laws or public
policy, were adopted, Former officers
OF the Amalgamated Window Glass
Workers weer elected temporarily, to-
gether with the old executive board
