SUBMITS TO FINAL DECREE
INJUNCTION AGAINST Fedora
TON MADE PERPETUAL.
Counsel for Defense Announce Pur
pose of Appealing the Case to
Higher Court.

The American Federation Of Labor to-
day submitted to final decree making
perpetual the temporary injunction issued
by Justice Gould of the District Supreme
Court in favor of the Bucks Stove and
Range Company to prevent the alleged
boycott of the company by the labor or
ganization.
The final decree signed today by Chief
Justice Clabaugh taxes the costs of the
proceeding on the defendants. An appeal
from the decree was made in open court
by the American Federation of Labor and
a bond for costs fixed at 500.
When tn, .ase came up today for final
hearing. before Chief Justice Clabaugh,
counsel for the defendants announced
that they had determined not to take up
the time of the court in hearing the vo-
luminous testimony taken in the case
and would submit to a decree against
them. They announced their intention of
appealing the case. saying they still
thought their action to be within their
legal rights.
1t is understood this course was de-
| termined on in view of the fact that the
testimony taken substantially bears out
the charges made in the affidavits in sup
! port of the Bucks Stove and Range
Companys application for a temporary in
| junction. AS Justice Gould had held
| those facts sufficient to warrant the ex-
ercise of the injunctve power Of the
court. it was thought not likely that the
| chief justice would override that decision
| when there existed no material change in
the record
This action will expedite the hearing of
the case in the appellate court, although
! it is not expected that the case can be
reached on the Court of Appeals calendar
| until next fall.
Alton b. Parker of New York, of coun-
sci for the labor organization, was not
