Results in a Fine
Of $25.,

Locking a man in a cold-storage room
for half an hour without his consent

An opinion to that effect was rendered
today by Judge Pugh, who fined Frank
L. Averill, president Of the Arcade Mar
ket Company. $25 in the Police Court
for compelling Samuel Boxwell to spend
an unpleasant thirty minutes in the mar
ket company's cold-storage plant several
days ago. The fine was paid.

Hutchinson Will never lack for follow

shore to shore of this broad continent
a great Amen will go up, followed
by the inquiry, Why work four hours?"
II was probably 10 forestall this ques-
ton that DIR. Hutchinson added that
four hours viii be enough when every
body works. The trouble is everybody
will not work; the jails and poorhouses
