BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL IN LETTER
DEMANDS REPEAL OF COMMISSION LAW
Denvers Representatives the Legislature Informed Attitude
of Building Craftsmen This and Other Measures;
Declare that a Non -Prejudced Commits
sion Is Impossible.

The Denver Building Trades Coun-
Gil has sent letter clothed in en-
phatic language to Denver represen-
tatives in the state Legislature urging
repeal of the industrial commission
law and favorable action upon other
labor legislation. At the joint hear
ing before the committees of the SEN
ate and house Monday evening there
was large attendance of Building
Trades Council delegates who are tax
ing a live concern in all labor legis-
lation before the general assembly.
Following is the letter sent to the
Denver legislators:
Denver, Colo, Feb. 16, 1917.
Dear Sir: The Denver Building
Trades Council desires to call your
attention to the bills proposed to abol-
ish the industrial relations act and
the one to amend the compensation
act so as to provide shortening of
the waiting period and an increase in
the compensation.
This organization favors and re-
quests your support for the repeal bill
for various reasons, some of which
we enumerate as follows:
|. That the act usurps the rights
of free born American citizen, that
it is a method of sanctioning a sys-
tenn of bondage and that it is contrary
to the provisions of the constitution
of the United States of America.

VICTORY
JUDGE ANDREWS RENDERS DE-
CISION FAyORING UNION.
Claim of Cigar Manufacturer That
Union Label Agreement Is in Re-
straint of Trade. Dismissed.

In circular issued to local unions.
President Perkins of the Cigar Max
ers International Union declares that
the international union and the local
unions have won notable and far
reaching victory" in the decision bv
Justice Andrews of Syracuse, n. Y,
IN the case of Justin Seubert. inc.
cigar manufacturers, against the Ci-
gar Makers Union, its officers and
other trade unionists.
The firm was backed by the Anti
Boycott association and sued for a
permanent injunction and 100000
damages on the ground that the union
was engaged in conspiracy, that it
restrained trade and commerce, that
the union label was illegel and that
the boycott was unlawful.
The court upheld the union in every
instance except the secondary boycott.
This will be appealed by the cigar
makers.
'Laborers may strike against their
employers separately or together, for
any reason or for no reason" said
Justice Andrews. "Unless their OBJ
ject is illegal, outsiders. unions, or in
dlvlduals may agree to and may help
them. Persuasion may be used to in
duce dealers or customers not to buy
the employers goods from him or in
the market, Unions may make rules
on this subject and may discipline
members who violate these rules"
The claim of the Seubert concern
that the agreement of 10000 manu-
facturers to use the union label is a
combination in restraint of trade, was
answered as follows by Justice An
drews:
The authority to adopt such la
bel is given TO the unions by statute.
The very purpose of this authorized
use is to enable purchasers to deter
mine whether or not goods exposed
for sale are made by union labor"
The court held that the secondary
boycott is illegal and appointed a
referee to assess damages. This por-
tion of the decision will be appealed,
even tho, according to President Per-
kins, the half dozen customers, men,
toned in the trial, cannot possibly
prove n loss of $1,000 and "they will
be lucky if they can prove $500"
"All things considered" continues
President Perkins, 'the international
union and the local unions have won
n notable and far-reaching victory.
Our case was similar to the hatters'
damage suit. in which they were as
sessed SS20.00o."
The Anti Boycott association is
thoroly dissatisfied with the decision,
except the secondary boycott rule, and
will appeal the case.
