Philadelphia. Dec 23.-James NJ.
Beck, Of New York, counsel for the
Rucks stove company was informed
G he decision in the labor case at
Washington while in the ciIy today
Mr Beck, who made the closing ar
gument for the company in comment
ing on the case said:
Counsel for the Bucks stove COM
panY in this preceding, reluctantly
did what seemed to be an imperative
duty, not only to their client, but to
the public Had we not done SO, de
crees of a court of equity against the
widespread boycott of the Federation
OF Labor would have become worse
than a farce.
This case ought to be the death
kneH of the boycott If so. it is the
most important decision in a labor
controversy since the Debs case in
1896, from which it only differs in
the fact that the Debs case was one
of physical violence used to paralyze
interstate traffic. In the Bucks stove
case the insidious method OF "a boy
colt was employed.
For both the employer and en-
ploye, the courageous action of Judge
Wright ought to prove judicial
from a form of tyrany
of which President Roosevelt has said
in substance that it s one of the most
cruel forms of oppression yet devised
by the wit Of man for the infliCtion of
