AxEL PETERSON IS
GIVEN 81 VERDICT
Labor Prejudices Said to Influ-
ence Certain Jurymen in Ar
irving At Verdict.

The jury in the case of Axel Peter
company, after celebrating on the
evidence submitted in district court,
brought in a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff this week in the sum of 81.
Since the verdict has been rendered
members of the jury have leaked"
on what 'transpired in the jury room.
1t is said that the street car strike
was again fought over by the jurymen.
Some of them failed to lay aside their
prejudices against labor. Indeed, it
is said at least two of the jurymen
gave it out coldly that they were ex-
ceedingly bitter against strikes and
they had no sympathy for the street
car men.
The verdict of the jury. while not
satisfactory to the plaintiff or to the
workingmen of Duluth, is at least a.
vindication of the position taken by
the car men when they We're COM
PEELED to strike. The Duluth Street
Railway company has been held liable
for sending its stool pigeons to break
into the home of one of it's en-
ployes to get information about the
Street Railway Mems union. While
this responsibility has been fixed by a.
jury it's result is huge joke, that il
if the damages awarded are consid-
cred.
If it is worth but 81 to the officers
of street railway company to break
into the home of one of it's employees.
how much would it be worth for an
employee to break into the home of
Manager Warren? If anything like
the latter should happen the prob
ability Is jury would fix the penalty
with a. term in the penitentiary for
the employe.
One Is a laborer and the other a
corporation, and that is just the diff
ference.
