U. S. SUPREME COURT REvERSES TRUAx CASE.

Word was received in Tombstone today from Washington. D. C., that the United States Supreme Court had reversed the famous picketing case from Cochise county known as the Truax vs. Corrigan injunction case.
 The case was a noted one and was being watched with considerable in terest by the legal profession. It was begun in 1916 in the Cochise county Superior Court. where the in junction of Truax against the Cooks and Walters Union of Bisbee was de court when the decision of the lower court was affirmed and it was taken to the United States Supreme Court on errors.
 Tests Anti-injunction Law
 The suit was brought for the pur- pose of testing the constitutionality of Paragraph l46i of the Revised Sta tutes of Arizona. commonly known as the Gompers' anti-injunction law
 Details Of Truax Case.
 In this particular case certain em- pioyees of TruaX went on strike and organized d boycott of his restaurant business. In furtheranCe of the boy colt the strikers stationed number of pickets on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant at Bisbee. Ariz The pickest walked back and forth .n front of the door carrying banners. distributing circulars. accosting pa irons and passersIy and calling out in loud tones and yociferous language their admonitions not to patronize the business As result of this conduct there was q great falling off in Tru- ax's trade and setious danger that his business would be destroyed
 TrGaz alleged all these facts in his complaint. and asked for an injunc- ton to stop the boycotting and picket ing but it was held by the superior court. and also by the Arizona su- preme court that the statute in ques- ton did not permit the issuance of an injunction in such a case. although it was conceded that if the strikers had committed these same acts against some one for whom they had never worked an injunction could be is sued.
