other cities. arising mainly from the
insisterce OF the strikers upon pick
citing the premises they have aban-
doned, In order to prevent others tak-
ing the places they vacated. II Is diff
ficult to realize that only few days
ago the Supreme Court Of the United
States handed down decision that in
cluded some legal guidance for the
regulation OF pickcting. II is appar-
cnt that the leaders OF these strikers
either determined to deliberately ig-
more the plain definitions set forth by
the court. or had not informed them
selves.
The Supreme Court, acting upon an
appeal from lower court which had
restrained strikers from picketing, re-
versed this decision In part and af-
firmed II in other respects. II pro-
claimed the right of men on strike to
conduct peaceful picketing. and de-
fined its limitations. Workers. It
said. have right to strike. and to
the moment they employ force, or
threats of force, I'm this direction they
become violators OF the law and JUS
ticc.
The court, however. did not draw a
distinct line between what is right
and what is. wrong and unjustifiable
Each case" 1t said. must turn on Its
own circumstances The original in
junction prohibited even the employ
mcnt of peaceful persuasion by strik-
ers. but this the Supreme Court would
not affirm. 1t clearly sustained tn,
right OF strikers to endcavor to per.
suade their non-strikng fellows {,
join them. but laid down az the law
that they may not adopt method,
which inevitably lead To intimidation
and obstruction" As to picketing. tn,
court was explicit in declaring tha
the strikers should restrict themselvei
To "a single representative for caCl
point OF ingress or egress TO tn,
plant" Also, persistence, importu
nifty. following and dogging" thos
who insist upon working was declares
10 be an "unjustfiable annoyance
and obstruction"
This decision is based upon tn
sound and unassailable contentio,
that mon have the same right to re
fuse to strike. and to continue un
molested in their occupation. ms othe
men have to strike and refuse to con
tinue at their places OF employment

Secret Of Great Lakes
Evaporation Discovered
Special Dispetch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, Oct. 0.-After working
for eleven years to discover the laws
controlling evaporation of the Great
Lakes, Professor John F. Hayford, di-
rector of the school of engineering at
Northwestern University, believes he
has solved the puzzle.
Scientists connected with the Car
Eegie Institution took the matter up
with Professor Hayford. While they
Relieved no solution was obtainable,
they told him to go ahead and they
would finance the research. He has
now gone TO Washington with his re-
port. Upon his success depends the
vital question of regulation OF lake
levels and the attendant problems of
developing water power and draining
large cities like Chicago Of their sew
age.
The findings Of Professor Hayford
are TOO complicated for the lay mind,
but they concern the slopes of the
lake surface caused by wind and the
various barometrc changes. He be-
lieves that in another year he will
reach the goal, and that among other
vast benefits will be permission for
Chicago to take larger amount of
water from the lake for draining it's
sewage, a matter of paramount impor-
tanCe.
