CAN'T BE FINED FOR NOT STRIKING

The supreme judicial court of Massa-
chusetts has ruled that trades union
may not fine its members for declining
to 90 on strike when ordered to do so
by the union. Ordinarily persons who
voluntarily take upon themselves mem.
bership in an association are bound by
its bylaws, but this rule is held not TO
apply To trades unions in Massachu-
sets when the issue is "to strike or not
to strike" The argument, no doubt.
is that to fine man for working is
against public policy; also it might be
held to be against public policy to per
NIT man to divest his wife and chill

BY the provisions of the NIcNichol

Field Meet
Sunrin+ardent and Mrs Il. [

at an unusually clever field meet
at their home on Erie street.
In response to invitations sent
out earlier in the week the

and the high school teachers
gathered at the home of the
host and hostess about eight
O'Clock. After spending a little
time in informality, the host
announced the field meet would
consist of nine events. The
first event was the continuous
dash and the one that could
grin the longest without laugh
ing, received a medal. The
Hurdle Race, consisted of
threading a needle and tying a
knot in the same in the quick
est space of time. After the
seven other events had taken
place, the points we. counted
and Mr.. Shuey .,roved the
most atheletic among the guests
having made the most scores
and for his cleverness, was
awarded a pennant made in the
Senior class colors. At eleven
o'clock an elegant two course
supper was served on small
tables by Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
assisted by Mrs. Bail. The col
ors of the Senior class red and
white, were carried throughout
the two courses. The ice cream
was especially attractive. 1t
was nodded in red and white
and each piece contained the
letters s09'. Upon departing
for their various homes, the
guests were very profuse in
their expressions to the host
and hostess for having spent
such a delightful evening and
they all congratulated them Oh
