American Federation of Labor En-
Joined in District of
Columbia Court

Washington.-In the case of the
Buck Stove and Range Co. of ST.
Louis, against the American Fedora
ton of Labor, involving the right of
labor to boycott business houses
which labor organizations regarded as
unfair to them, Justice Gould of the
District of Columbia equity court

ton asked for by President Van
Cleave of the stove company, to pro-
hibit the federation from continuing
to boycott against the company, pend
ing final settlement of the case.
A bill in equity was filed by the
company last August for permanent
injunction restraining the federation
from boycotting the company and put
ting it on the unfair" list in the fed
eration's official organ and later a
supplemental bill was filed charging
that notwithstanding the pending pro-
ceedings the federation was still ac-
lively engaged in pressing the boy
colt and temporary injunction,
passed upon Tuesday, was asked for.

New Years visiting cards are curiosi-

dozen, it makes the list quite appall-

else of fine paper backed with silk and
are so large that they have to be roll

are, indeed, so valuable that they are
