The court decrecd that the boycots

from freely exercising his trade anu
hence was punishable.
Tho present decision, however, goes
deeper, and adds a new chapter TO inc

the famous English act of 1870 oe-
clarcd that two or more persons might
combine IN trade dispute to do what
ono person might legitimately DO
courts have been cautious In defining
n conspiracy. But now the United
states Court takes precisely this
ground: John Jones may not buy hat
from I,oewe & Company unless he 80
desires. He may advise others to do
likewise a thousand may do as John
Jones does But when that thousand
combine and conspire together and re-
fuse to buy Loewe's hats because they
wish to injure his trade. then they
may be punished and must pay Loewe
triple the damage inflicted by the loss
of their trade. To be sure, In Lind

A CRUCIAL noYcorr DECISION.

The decision of the panbury Hatters
case will rank with Allen VS.. Flood
end with the Taff-vale case In the an
nals of labor law. Coming at the end
of long struggle and involving at

law of conspiracy and the fundamental

which open new page in judse-made
law and close an epoch of judicial de-
cislons.
OF course. the final decision in the
suit for damages was fully discounted.
Every one realized that Loewe would
be given substantial indemnity when
the Suprer7e Court overrulcd the cir
cult judges in 1905. and granted an in
junction restraining the United Hatters
from boycotting Loewe & Company be-
cause that Arm discarded the union
label and declared for an open shop.
