Reading The
Handwriting

Jersey City, Sept 25.-The Hudson
County grand jury, which is expected
to investigate the cases OF the
guards who are being held in connec-
ton with the killing of three citizens
during the recent strikes at the Bay
onne plants of the Standard Oil and
Tidewater Oil companies, have been
sworn in by Supreme Court Justice
Swayze.
The justice reviewed the State riot
laws, explaining that twelve armed
persons, or thirty unarmed persons en-
gaging in disorder, constituted riot;
but private persons had no right to
suppress riots, and, consequently, no
right to maintain armed forces for
that purpose.
He added that if private parties
had such rights anarchy would result;
that no person had the right to take
life solely for the protection Of prop
erty, and if life was taken in defense
of property only it constituted MUIR
der. If persons Illegally armed them
selves in defense of property, the JUS
tice said, and death resulted, all were
equally guilty of murder, for all who
participated in an illegal act were
equally guilty.

Uphold Employees Rights


New York, Sept. 30.-Decisions in
vo1ving the right Of an employee to use
for his own advancement customers
and Information obtained while work
ing for an employer were handed
down last week by Justices Cohalan
and Shearn, of the Supreme Court.
Both decisions were to the effect that
an employee, where there was no writ
ten agreement limiting his activities,
was justified in using the knowledge
gained in his work for his own bene-
fit, even though the business of a
former employer was unfavorably af-
fected by it.
One of the. suits was that of the
Pioneer Barber Towel Company
against Bruney, who was driver, and
who engaged himself to drive wagon
of rival concern, and did what he
could to transfer the business of the
customers with whom he was person
ally acquainted to his last employer
An injunction, restraining Bruney
was applied for, and Justice Cohalan
denied it. 80

dred employees of the Seymour Manu-

55-hour week and 10 per cent increase
in wages, computed on the basiw of

fering an increase on the 55-hour
basis. This the men refused. This
action was the result of a strike of so

struck, secured their demands and re-
turned to work. The company makes

TO KILL CHILD
LABOR LAW.

Philadelphia, Sept. SO.-The mem
bers of the Manufacturers Associa-
ton, according to information which
has reached 1.-The agents of the State
Department of Labor and Industry,
have decided to break down the child
labor law passed at the last session
of the legislature. This is to be done
by dischagring from their mills chill
dren between fourteen and sixteen
years who are permitted to work pro-
viding they attend continution schools
eight hours each week.
One manufacturer, who evidently
voiced the sentiments of his asso-
ciates, is quoted by factory inspector
as saying: "By January 1 no children
who come under the provisions of the
recent act will be working"
These reprisals, which win affect
the pocketbooks of thousands of fami-
lies will, the manufacturers hope,
serve to crystalize public opinion to-
ward a revision of the law.

Attorneys for the state, in their

ing it to be capital case and not

neys for Lawsonc tie that capital cases
are only those in which death is the
punishment. and Lawson's sentence
being for Imprisonment clearly places
it within the courts judgment to al
