MERITORIOUS ACTION

The "Hired Man" believes in giving
credit where credit is due, and es-
pecially so when the deserving indi-
fidual is particularly careful to keep
~, kindly deeds hidden.
%qtlex Levin, proprietor OF the cloth
ifsA and furnishing store on west
M;h street, is this kind of man. 1t
hag been his custom for the past sew
eral years, to remember those in need
of warm winter garments, particular
ly the school children; and always has
he asked that the Trades Assembly
assist him in distributing his bounty.
The Assembly this year has so far
\ placed several hundred dollars worth
of garments among those who are un-
fortunately unable to supply them
selves and families with clothing to
protect them from the cold during the
coming winter, and but for MIR. Le-
WINS thoughtfulness many children
would have been unable to attend
school. =,
If more Newark people would
xadopt this plan of bringing comfort
, and ioy into the lives and homes OF
their needy and unfortunate brethren
much suffering would be prevented
among the deserving poor. Surely
YOU know of some whose Christmas
could be made day of rejoicing by
Il little effort on your part, so wake

Striking Printers Win
Injunction Contest

Asheville, N. C.-Superior Court
Judge McElroy has dissolved the tenn
porary injunction issued against
striking printers employed on two
newspapers in this city. The hearing
was had on the publishers appeal to
make the court order permanent.
Judge McElroy ruled that the plain
tiffs failed to prove single charge
against the printers. While the pub
fishers may appeal to the state su-
preme court, Judge MccElroy ordered
that if they do, they must deposit
bond in the sum of $4,000 OF indem-
nifty the strikers for any irreparable
wrong done them.
The verdict is blow to the publish
ers, whose attack on the union has
been one series of blunders.
The strike was caused by a wage
dispute. The employers demanded
that the old rates be renewed for five
years. They refused to arbitrate, and
these facts have been given the widest
publicity by the workers.
