STATE HIGH COURT
FAVORS FREEDOM OF
ACTION BY WORKERS

St. Paul, Minn.-The State supreme
court has vitalized American principles
of freedom of action and has Jared the
Anti-Boycott association in two decis-
ions that accord workers the right to
refuse to work for non-union employ
ers, to ask others to assist them, to
carry on boycott, and to carry ban
ner advertising an unfair place of bus
mess.
In the case of the George L. Grant
Constructing company versus the St.
Paul Building Trades Council the court
sustains the refusal of Judge Dickson
of the Ramsey country district court to
issue an injunction against these union
lists, who were charged with "injuring
the business" of the non-union concern
| by refusing to work for it and by an
nouncing it is unfair to organized la
bor
In supporting Judge Dickson's posi-
ton the court said
Defendants have the right to work
for whom they please. 1t is best that we
give both employer and employe broad
| field of action. AS said by Judge
Cooley: 1t is part of every mans
civil rights that he be left at liberty to
son whomsoever, whether the refusal
rests upon reason or is the result OF
whim, caprice, prejudice or malice. With
his reasons neither the public nor third
persons have any legal concern
"The interference with the trade rela-
tons of one with whom you have no
trade relations yourself is presumptively
unlawful, but conditions may be such as
to furnish justification for such inter
ference if he is in pursuit of some law
full object.
"a person in furtherance of his own
interests may take such action as cir
cumstances may require, and so long as
he does not act maliciously toward or
unreasonably or unnecessarily interfere
with rights of his neighbor, he can not
be charged with actionable wrong, what
ever may be the result of his conduct in
pursuing his own welfare"
In the case of the Minneapolis Nov
ing Picture Operators union versus Al
bert Steffes, proprietor of picture thea
ter, the court upholds the refusal of a
lower court to enj DIN the workers iron
carrying a banner stating that Steffes
, place is unfair to organized labor.
In supporting this rule by the lowel
court, the State supreme court says:
"The term unfair as used by organ
lied labor, has come to have meaning
well understood. 1t means that the per
son so designated is unfriendly to or
panized labor or that he refuses to
recognize its rules and regulations. 1t
charges no moral shortcomings and no
want of business capacity or integrity.
AS applied to a theater it signifies moth

that bone DRY" LAW

Little Rock, FEB. 1.-THE bone dry
law is due for session before the
Supreme Court within the next few
months, bat none expects decision
which will nullify the law in any way.
There are to many decisions on liquor
cases to cause much speculation as to
the final action Of this court The
police powers Of state are 10 well
established to expect the law TO b.
cast aside.
The only question that seems 70 be
in dispute IS the right Of the individ-
ual to ship in liquor for his own use
This is specifically forbidden in the act
but it is famed that the act was IN
tended to put bootlegger and bln3
tiger out Of business, and not to pro
vent the citizen who desired liquor for
his own family used to receive it.
There IS being considerable liquor
brought into Arkansas, if report is to
be given credit. but it is coming across
the border in automobiles, wagons, and
carried by hand. There is a real legal
point involved here, and this may have
to be Strengthened out The trainers
of the bill declare they intended to
shut liquor in all form out of the
state, and make it just as the bill has
been dubh4 ID "bone dry" They did not
intend to let enough come in for q
social evening. With these state
ments the Court will have no trouble
in arriving at the intent of the statue.
Reports declare there are automo
