CAN CRY "scAe" At WILL.
Court At Waterloo Holds II 10 no Crime
70 Apply Term to Workman.

Waterloo. April l1-JudRe J. H..
Meyers established precedent for fu-
ture decisions In his court in the many
cases which have been brought up
where union and nonunion men nave
had each other arrested over labor con-
troversies. Wehster's dictionary de-
fines the word "scab" as "a workman
who works for lower wages and under
conditions contrary to those prescribed
by the trade unions: also one who
takes the place OF workman on
strike. The word is used reproachfully
by trade union members"
The above definition governed the
decision Of the court i'm two cases this
morning, where the entire testimony
OF all the witnesses showed that the
defendants had called the complain
ants ",cabs." The ruling Of the court
Ia that the use Of this word is not a
crime and that the defendants had not
committed any legal offense.

try shortly before noon disposed or the
alarming report sent from Madrid ana
circulated thruout the world early III
the day that Pope Plus Y. was dead.
