as follows today:
"The necessary data on which tc
lay a foundation for an application
to the Court of Chancery for an In
junction, is new being gathered, and
| immediate proceedings will be
| taken If the Cigar Company is not
relieved from the annoyance from
| which it has suffered. The law OF
this state permits any person OF
persons from setting such price on
their labor as they see fit, and allows
the laborer to take any legal means
to bring about such prices or condi-
tions under which the labor Is to
be performed, provided that it is
done In a peaceable manner and
without any annoyance to the en-
ployer. On the other hand, the en-
ployer has right to conduct his
business without any outside inter
ference. 1t is this right that the
Cigar Company proposed to seek
and an Injunction will be asked to
restrain all persons from Interfering
not only with the operation of the

from intimidating, threatening or
coercing any persons to work for the
