CALL UNION LABEL
VIOLATION or LAW
Complainant Declares Its Use
Violates Antitrust Act.

Trenton. N. J.. March so.--The In
junction suit OF Samuel Mundheim
Company, Of New York, against the
United Hatters of North America,
growing out OF the strike OF the hat
makers and involving the use OF the
union label. came before the United
States court here, and after consider
able argument the court ruled that the
questions raised should come before
the court on demurrer. II was decided
that counsel for the hatters' organiza-
ton should file the demurrer and that
argument on the writ should take
place at Trenton. The demurrer will
only be on the question OF the validity
OF the bill filed and will leave the
question OF fact to be determined sub
sequently II the demurrer is over
ruled.
In this suit the compliments raise
two new and vital questions.
The first one Is that the labels plac-
ed in union made hats by the union
are in violation OF the sherman anti
trust law and In restraint OF trade.
The second point at issue is that the
rules OF the union impose such penal
ties and fines on members who refuse
to abide by strike orders that they
constitute intimidation and are there

FEARED MOB VIOLENCE
GuaTds Around Mercer jail Where
Abduciors Are Locked Up.

Mercer. Pa, March 81 Heavily
manacled to Sheriff Chess and guarded
by several detectives, James Boyle,
one of the kidnappers of little Willie
Whitla, was brought here from Pitts
burg and lodged in the Mercer county
Jail. His wife was brought here from
Pittsburg today. and the couple will
be formally arraigned on charge OF
Kidnapping in a few days. Boyle feared
violence on his arrival in Mercer, and
on the journey from Pittsburg asked
Sheriff Chess if he thought the crowd
would harm him. The prisoner looked
greatly relieved when he saw only a
scattering OF people at the Mercer sta.
ton. Boyle was hurried into a waiting
bus and taken to the jail, where he
was locked in a cell on the second
tier. An armed guard was placed In
front of Boyle's cell and a patrolman
will be stationed outside the jail.
Sheriff Chess said that the jail would
be guarded until the trial Of the Boyles
was over.
There is no fear of a demonstration
being made here against the kidnap-
per The Jail officials clothed Boyle In
oyeralls and an old shirt after he was
nut in a cell.

standing the general belief that the
anthracite miners will renew the pres
ent wage agreement. the operators are
taking no chances and decided that
they will make no reduction In the
price of coal until a wage contract has
been signed.
More than that, the operators have
decided to run every colliery from
now until April / in order that as
much coal as possible may be mined.
Just as soon as the miners and oper-
ators come to some agreement the
operators will put into effect the usual
reduced prices for the summer trade.
Leaders OF the anthracite miners
have been summoned to Indianapolis
for conference with the leaders In
the bituminous coal fields so that
whatever proposition President Lewis
and his committee submit to the hard
coal operators will have the hearty
support of every member of the United
Mine Workers Of America.
IN response to instructions received
! from indianapolis Presidents Adam
Rascavage, of District No. j; John
McEllnenney, of District No. z, and
! John Fahy, OF District No. 8. started
for Indianapolis
The trip of the three presidents to
indianapolis is significant at this time
inasmuch as at the tri-district conven-
| ton in Scranton the details Of further
negotiations with the operators were
left entirely to the executive boards
OF those districts with power to act.
When President Fahy was asked the
significance of his trip to Indianapolis
he said that he was under instructions
| to say nothing about it. He admitted
however, that when the anthracite
miners committee comes to confer
with President Baer and the other op
orators again It win be prepared to

FOR DIVORCE
Mrs. Ferdinand Earle Seeks to
AnnuI Marriage.
SAYS He IS A LuNATIc

She Did Not Know It--EarIe Put
Away His First Wife to Wed Her
Claiming They Were Soul Mates.
Middletown, N. Y. March 27-Fer-
dlnand Pinney Earle. artist, poet and
foremost exponent of the affinity
idea, was served with papers In an
action brought by Mrs. Earle, formerly
Miss Julia Kuttner, of New York city,
for annulment OF their marriage. Mrs.
Earle alleges that Earle is of I'm
sound mind and was so at the time OF
their marriage, although she did not
become convinced of this until about
Jan. II of this year.
Furthermore, she says, Earle was
incapable of legally contracting mar
rage because at the time he had a
wife living to whom he was married
In Paris in 1903 The plaintiff at the
time believed Earle's assertion that he
had secured divorce from court of
competent jurisdiction. but she is now
convinced that the first marriage Is
still valid and in full force
Mrs. Earle asks that she be awarded
the custody of their infant child, Ed
mund Erwin Earle and be allowed to
resume her maiden name. The child.
If her suit is successful, will also as
sumo her name.
Earle returned only few days ago
from long western trip. 1t is believ-
ed he will fight the suit.
Thought They Were Soul Mates.
Earle, who is son of the late Gen
eral E. P. Earle, OF New York city,
married his first wife, French wo-
man, in Paris in 1903, while he was
completing his art studies. After they
had lived in this country for some
time Earle met Miss Kuttner. then a
settlement worker in New York. She
visited Mr.. and Mrs. Earle at their
home in Monroe, and shortly after
wards Earle announced that he and
Miss Kuttner were soul mates. 1t was
arranged that his wife should take
their child and go back to France,
where she was to obtain divorce.
She left on Sept 8, 1907, and some
time afterward Earle and Miss KTtt.
uer were married They went to Mon
roe to live and there their child was
born. Shortly after the birth of the
child Earle was arrested and spent
some time in the Goshen Jail. accused
