Courts Later.

yesterday that member Of labor union
is not entitled to an injunction restraining
the union from expelling him until he has
exhausted all the remedies offered by tho
constitution and bylaws OF the union.
The decision was handed down on the
application OF John Coughlin, bandmaste er

Gov. Hughes to the Jamestown EHposi-
last October. to make permanent a tenn
porary injunction restraining the Musi-
peiling him for falling TO pay certain mem
bers OF the band who he alleged were alb

appealed to the Federal courts. The Su-

livering the opinion denounced as shock
ing to all lovers OF Justice the conditions

"It is true said Justice Harlan, that

mated Justice Morris of Oldham county to
try the case. The jury was completed
toward the end of November, and the jury
was discharged upon disagreement on
January OF this year. Since then at diffef-
ent times reports of Gov. Wilson's intention
to pardon Powers have been rife.
Powers announced when the reports - ere
told to him that upon his liberation he would
return to his home county and enter politics.
He said that he expected to be elected to
Congress. 1t was at one time said that
the pardon would come in time to permit
Powers to attend the Kentucky State con-
vention While the convention was in
session rumor spread that Powers had
been pardoned, whereupon the convention
broke into an uproar, and money amounting
to more than 5000 was flung upon the stage
to give Powers glowing reception.

by the spread of international unions in
the other trades.
The report states that the brotherhood
started on June u, 1881, with twelve local
