DECISION UPHOLDS
| COMPANY Stores
Employers May Compel Patron-
age of Their Hospitals or
Places of Business

The practice of large corporations,
particularly the lumber companies of
the state, compelling their employees to
patronize company stores AMI company
hospitals, was upheld in a decision
rendered by the supreme court yes
terday. Judge Henshaw wrote the
opinion.
He who does what the law allows
can not be a wrongdoer whatever his
motive" quotes the justice. SO long
as no contract exists between employer
and employe, said the decision, the
latter may resign and the former may
discharge his workmen for any reason.
If this reason be that the workman
patronizes store which competes with
that of the company, no wrong has
been done by the corporation.
1t was in the suit of the Union
Labor Hospital association against
seven big lumber companies. and which
was tried in Eureka, that the question
was raised. The hospital association
was granted an Injunction in the lower
court preventing the companies from
conspiring to destroy its business. This
conspiracy consisted of a compact re-
quiring employees of the corporations
to give up 81 of their monthly wage.
OF this amount 12k cents was applied
to a fund to help injured workmen
and the remainder paid for ticket
which gave the employe when injured
treatment at any one of four or five
hospitals chosen by the corporations.
The Union Labor Hospital association
was not in this list.
In reversing the lower court and de-
ciJing in favor OF the lumber compa-
nies the supreme court declared that
the corporations were but subscribing
their own interests and had the right
to demand of their workmen that they
attend certain hospitals, or that under
the same principle they trade at GER
tain stores. AS the companies were
acting within their legal right, said
the decision, the courts had no right
to inquire into the motive which
prompted these requirements.

CHICKEN Diet IS
FATAL TO feline
Mrs. Herzler's Tabby Came Once
Too Often to Peugne's Poul=
try Yard and-BANG!

Because he shot and killed her cat,
which was a party to the slaughter of
1,4o0 young chickens, Mrs. A. Herzler,
32S Munich street, yesterday appeared
as chief witness against Robert
Peugne, 4O3 Munich street, who was
before Judge Deasy on the charge of
discharging a firearm within the city
limits.
This spring Peugne's chicken ranch
rang with the plaintive chirps of 1900
young chicks, but, through marauding
felines, but 200 of the feathered
youngsters live to chirp. Tuesday
afternoon Peugne became desperate,
and hieing himself to a second hand
store purcha ased a small caliber rife
for SO. Late Wednesday night he heard
the familiar hunting call of a tabby.
A few minutes later the spiteful spit
OF rifle was heard in Peugne's back
yard and all nine of the cats lives
were blotted out
This is the second cat belonging to
Mrs. Herzler which has bitten the dust
of the Peugne dooryard.
Peugne admitted his guilt and
offered as justification the mortality in
his chicken yard. Judge Deasy inti-
mated that Peugne had purchased the
rife some months too ,late for his own
good and took the case under advise
ment.

HOMESTEADERW Wins
over OIL LOCATORS
Supreme Court Interprets the
Law Placing Claims Under
Placer Mining Act

The bill adopted by congress MAX
ing acquisition of oil lands possible
only under the placer mining law was
interpreted by the state supreme court
yesterday in a decision which gave
title to quarter section in Fresno
county to C. A. McLemore. McLemore
perfected his homestead entry 16
months after eight individuals had
claimed the property under the min
ing location statute
Possession by mining location can
not be complete, said the court until
the mineral is found. Nor can pos
session be secure unless the locators
are diligently prosecuting a search for
the mineral This search must be pros
ecuted. not by trying to raise capital
to finance the work, nor by improving
the land, building roads and houses or
laying out boundaries, but only by
sinking a shaft
The eight individuals. who later
formed the Express oil company, and
who had located on the quarter sec
tion in January, 1906, perfected i'm
provements far in excess OF what
would have been demanded had they
filed on the land by homestead. When
McLemore filed on the property in
April, 1907, his predecessors had not
been boring for .oil, as they had been
engaged in seeking capital to carry
out the enterprise. Because of this
fact the supreme court determined
that McLemore was entitled to owner
ship and affirmed the order of the
Fresno county superior court e1ecting
the members of the Express oil COM
pany.
The property in dispute was known
as the northeast quarter of section "a,
township 21 south range Is east, M. D.
3. & NJ, Fresno county.

New Orleans Known by Shipping

That the shipping and transportation

Il do not wish to belittle New Or
