SUPREME COURT DECISION
Organizations IF Working Men
Come Under Sherman Act
MATTERS BUYCoTT ENDED
Employers Claim Damages Under
Antitrust Act from Men Who Try
to ~Uniorizer Factory.

Washington. Feb. 5-The climax in
supreme court decisions affecting la
Bor questions vas reached by the
unanimous opinion oil The court hand
ed doyn yesterday that a boycott by
labor organization affecting inter
state trade Is repugnant 10 the sher-
nan Antitrust law, oeing a conbina-
ton ii restraint of trade.
This Is the third recent decision BY
the supreme court Of great impor-
4ance to employees and employers
and to the commercial and Industrial
interests Of the country The court
has heretofore decided that the En-
rloyers Liability act Is unconstitu-
tional and has also denied the consti.
tutioaality oil the act to make 1T I'M
lawful for an interstate employer to
discharge an employee because of
membership in a trade union.
These three decisions are likely to
have most sweeping effect upon la
Dor organizations and, associated with
President Roosevelt's message Of last
week, will probably figure in the pol
tics of the next presidential election.
The opinion rendered yestrday is
regarded as. one Of the most important
that has been rendered by the SUI
preme court affecting the labor ques-
ton being the first to definitely fix the
status of labor unions as responsible
organizations which may be dealt with
under the terms of the general law.
structive TO the boycott, which is per-
haps the most powerful weapon en-
ployed by union labor and these
unions are placed in the same posi-
ton towards the law of other COM
binations affecting interstate trade
and commerce. The rnanimitv of the
court gives a special significance.
Heavy Damages Concerned.
The verdict rendered yesterday was
in tn case OF Lawlerd VS.. Loewe, the
former a member of the Eatters'
Union, and the latter hat manufac-
turer of Danbury. Conn. The case
involved the applicability Of the sew
tenth section of the Sherman Anti
Trust law to conspiracie by labor
unions to boycott articles, entering
into interstate trade. Under the terms
Of that provision the complaining par
ty may collect three times the amount
Of his loss if the charge is sustain
ed. The union fought the case on the
ground that the law was inapplicable
to such organizations but the court,
whose opinion was announced by
Chief Justice Fuller failed to ACCEPT
this view and in effect held. that the
unions could not be permitted to in
terere BY boycott with the free ex-
change Of commerce between the
states. There was no dissnting opin-
ion.

The 81 is making lots of ore

being taken from the upper run,
which is very rich, and the dirt
is easily cleaned.
Dell Gill has taken a lease on
ten acres of land cornering with
the Lancaster and will prospect
it with a drill very soon. He ex-
poets to make some big ore finds
there.
Down at the Heap-O 'Brien mine
the mill dirt is being piled up,
and the work of underground de-
velopment goes on steadily. The
dirt is as rich as could be desired,
and a mill is going to be ready
for operations in the very early

Smith & Gibson, who are work.
ing Nos. 2 and 3 of the Sunburst,
are making a big lot of rough
stuff every day, and are piling it
up. They will have it cleaned
when they consider the price of
good concentrates is high enough
to suit them.
The best dirt, perhaps, in the
whole camp, is being taken from
the No. 4 shaft of the Sunburst
which is being worked by Ed.
Hamilton. The ore is of high
grade, about 63 per cent, and is
easily cleaned, being found in a
formation which breaks easily.

has its big centrifugal pump

property will lead the list of pro-
ducers in this camp.
The Good Luck is making ore
mighty fast these days. The
dump has been cleaned up, and
ore is now being taken from the
ground. And the dirt from the
ground is up to expectations. In
fact it is so rich that the mill has
to be RIM very slow. From the
west shaft the dirt is both lead
