INJUNCTION REFUSED AND
UNION VIEWS ARE UPHELD
CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT REM
DERS IMPORTANT DECISION.
In Effect the Ruling Conforms to the
Clayton Act in Permitting Amy
Number of Men to Act as One.

Stockton, Cal, secured much publicity
last year because of an attempt by the
Merchants and Manufacturers associa-
tion to disrupt the trade union move
ment, and now it is again in the lime
light because of the refusal of the super
ior court Of the county to issue an anti
boycott injunction against the Building
Trades Council and the Material Team
sters' Union.
In view of last years events and the
antagonistie union sentiment developed
at that time, the decision is a remark
able one, and again proves the value of
agitation and education by workers in
the securement of rights to patronize
whom they will.
While the court believes it has the
right to issue iniunctions even in cases
covered by state and city police laws,
it makes the interesting ruling that
there is no such thing as a secondary
boycott a theory elaborately defended
and explained by ex-President Taft and
non-union associations. The court in
sists that ''the legality of the secondary
boycott is vigorously denied by the Eng
lish courts, the federal courts and the
courts of many OF the states of this
union"
The California state supreme court is
cited in defense of this opinion, and
that court is quoted as follows:
''The court recognizes no substantial
distinction between the so-called pri-
mary and secondary boycott"
The superior court intimates that in
timidatiOn is matter for injunction re-
lief, despite the presence of sufficient po-
lice statutes and trial by jury guaran-
tees. The court, however, makes several
significant statements that accord with
the federal Clayton law. The most
prominent is the declaration that mere
numbers constitute no wrong and that
whatever one man can do alone, he may
do in combination with others, be
cause" says Judge Norton, cit has been
definitely settled as matter of law
that the acts which an individual may
lawfully do, an organization of indi-
viduals may lawfully do"
The decision indicates the changed
sentiments on this question, and shows
that in the very near future organized
workers will no longer be attacked for
exercising rights that are accorded 9TH
ers without questionable right to with
hold their patronage, singly or in con-
cert, from those who oppose them.

nunciation and affectations eliciting
considerable laughter. In Rita,
Ham" met his soul-mate, and his
happiness was assured.
Mr.. Fred Eaton in his imperson-
alton of Colonel Rowe with a mill
tary past" and an, everlasting
string of boring "reminiscences to
| impart to any one whom he could
find to listen, acquitted himself
most creditably. Finding the dainty
ear of the matron of the house a
, most receptive one, he whispered
proposal instead of his usual war
story, and was accepted.
AS "blarneying Irishman" with
artistic inclinations, penniless, but
recognized sculptor, Dick Fitzger-
aid was one of the livliest and most
cheerful, and eternally rhapsodizing
| sons of "Ould ireland" ever grown
on American soil. Mr.. Lloyd Hooks
in this refreshing Characterization
gave an added zest to the affair and
his weakness.
In representing taciturn,
healthy young lawyer, very much in
love, but lacking in convincing elo-
, quence, Harry Devon, known other
wisce as Mr.. Henry Cole, displayed
unusual ability and naturalness in
depicting this difficult role. His
seemingly nonchalent attitude and
manly sturdiness succeeded in win
ming the prize for him where words
had failed, and the three rem
anents" were made equally happy.
Between the first and second acts,
Miss Dorothy Bates gave a reading
in her usual charming manner. The
title being "Absolution. Miss
Bates is ALWAYS heard with pleasure
and this opportunity was no eXcep-
ton. During the reading she was
softly accompanied on the piano by
Mrs. J. G. Holcombe which made a
fitting background for the touching
story related by this charming
young lady.
A special feature of the evening
which also added much to the en-
Joyment of the audience was a hui
morous reading by Miss Gertrude
Green who is reader of much
ability and experience Her rendi-
tiOn of the elopement of obadiah
Baker" and Mrs. Wixon" proved
highly entertaining and elected
much laughter and applause.
The overtures of the evening were
skillfully played by Mrs. Hilda
Peterman. and Mrs. J. G. Holcombe
played the Angels serenade and
Traummerli during the reading Civ
en- by Miss Bates.
The music for the occasion,
through a Misunderstanding, was
not furnished by the Auditorium
Orchestra, and not. being aware that
the orchestra would not appear, the
lauleS, aforementioned were unable
to play between the acts, not hav-
ing come prepared.
The conclusion OF this play was
most happy one, and the success
of the production is due to the in
telligent and constant coaching of
Mrs. William Steitz whose tireless
efforts brought about the happy
elimination of three weeks hard
work both on the part of the mem
bers of the cast. and herself. She
was ably assisted AytMrs. George NJ.

PLAY ON APPROVAL" WAS EXCELLENT
PRODUCTION WITNESSED BY
AN APPRECATWE AUDIENCE

The play, ION Approval which
was given at the Auditorium last
night was decidedly one of the
most successful aIl-star performances
ever given by local talent. This in
teresting play, full of the most de-
iightfully comical and unexpected
situations, was witnessed by an
appreciative audience who being
personally interested, gave these tai
ented performers their closest at
tention.
Miss Hazel Williams, in the diff
cut role OF wilful. coquettish, but
beautiful little flirt, made pro-
nounced hit. Her impersonation of
this difficult character was entirely
natural and the manner in which
she acquitted herself in depicting
the inconsistencies of courted
belle was altogether refreshing.
Miss Lillian Kaufman as the
frank, practical sister, with matri-
monlal ambitions for herself in
spite of Nancy as handicap, show
ed herself perfectly at home in this
role, and gave a true-to-life exhi-
oitlon of sisterly affection by refus-
ing to wait on her beautiful but
indolent sister.
As mother" Miss Anna Card

e2otism was found, when this win
some maid impaired the fact that
three of that young ladies would-be

elsewhere. Mr.. Morgan Grower as
a brother of Nancy and Rita, with
the homely name of Sam, but a So
cial Beau Brummel for all that,
with expensive habits, and an ambi-
ton to cut his classes at college
was pronouncedly at home in his
representation of the "Rah Rah"
boy, and his pointed remarks and
illusions to the various weaknesses
of his sisters with his struggle for
man the-world attitude towards
these fair sirens won appreciative
recognition.

peace.
