In latter day decisions upon the right to picket and patrol" the ten dency has been, especially since the Taft decision, to whittle down that right by setting out the number of pickets which may be allowed, 1imita- lions upon their activity, etc. This decision IS important upon the ques- ton because the iron workers had a very effective system of picketing, as shown by the affidavits in this case, and were able to convert many non union employees to their way of right thinking ,as well as to send back to the place from whence they came, many squads of strikebreakers which had been imported to New York by the Iron League.
 Judge Lydon, in this decision, de- c1ares that picketing is legal, places no restrictions upon it whatsoever and at least inferentia1ly endorses the system and practice of picketing the jobs and railway station, so effectively used by the union in the present strike
 It also declares the absolute right of union men to refuse to work with l

non- union men and afirms the lega right of unions to strike for that
 principle. These rights were directly
 challenged in this case by the Iron League ,on the ground that the pres
 ent strike was for the sole purpose oi obtaining recognition of the union, and to close the shops to non-union work CTS, and hence was illegal, per SC.
 The union alleged in it's answer and set up in its afidavits the fact that the Iron League is in co-opera- ton with the great steel companies to uphold the so-cal1ed "open shop, '' and that it was granting a rebate of $6 per ton on the purchase of steel in the Metropolitan district to the en- ployers in the Iron League, who would agree not to recognize the Interna tional Association of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Iron Workers, and to against members of the union.
 The answer and affldavits also ex- posed the pernicious spy-system o1 the Iron League, as conducted by Drew and his assistant and henchman, he ma1odorous Bob Foster. The union

 Minneapolis, Minn, Aug. 9.-The advance in grain prices has brought a prospective increase of at least $50,- 100000 in the value of Minnesota farm crops, agricultural experts disclosed today.
 If the corn crop is as large as fore cast, the market value of this grain alone will be $40,0OO,OO0 greater than the total farm value of the crop in Minnesota last year." Prof. Andrew Boss, agrononlist, University of Min nesota, said today.
 The Minnesota wheat crop promises, to mean $5,000,O00 more to farmers than last year, Paul H. Kirk, crop statistician said.
 Last year Minnesota produced o1,- 281, ,0OO bushels of spring wheat, which according to estimates sold at 95 cents a bushel, bringing total of $18,317,- OOO," MT. Kirk said. This years prospective crop of 18,712OOO bushels selling at an advance of 25 cents over last years price would sell for be- tween twenty and twenty-two million dollars"
 w. J. Brown, president of the Amer ican Wheat Growers Associated Giant Marketing Pool, stated that farmers of the state will not be able to take ad- vantage of the price rise to any great extent until the new crop comes in. The price situation at the present time affects Minnesota chiefly in that 1t has restored confidence among farmers and business men.

urged that the granting of rebates and
 the maintenance of spy-system were
 steps in a conspiracy to utterly de stroy it, and declared that for those
 reasons, as well as for other illegal
 acts of violence and intimidation, the
 Iron League had no standing in a
 court of equity.
 In refusing the injunction the court ] said:
 l That these last were vital issues in
 the case raised by the union and it
 may be that the contentious of the
 union will be sustained upon the final
 trial thus showing that the Iron
 League does not come into court with
 clean hands"
 l This case on behalf of the Iron
 League was managed by the notorious Walter Drew. While the case was ar
 gued by Merit Lane of New Jersey,
 during every hearing and furnished
 the affdavits for the Iron League. As bearing upon Drew's character, it was shown in the evidence that he
 was physically thrown out of the hearing of the Lockwood Committee, while it was investigating the illegal practices of the Iron League and the National Erectors' Association, on ac- count of his obstructive tactics and other vicious conduct. The following extract was presented to Judge Lydon, from the opinion of Hon. William H. Taft, in docket No. 1116, the case of the International Holders Union No. 84 vs. Lumen Bearing Company, ct al.
 "As to MT. Drew, counsel for good many of the firms, members of the foundrymen's association 1t would be said that he has been quite ob- structive, evasive. and unsatisfactory, and his general attitude creates in the mind of one attempting to reach a judicial conclusion a prejudice against his clients" The court, as one of the grounds for denying the injunction, declared that this was fight to the death be- tween the International Association l of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental | Iron Workers on the one side and the | Iron League and National Erectors' | Association upon the other; and the :ourt should not interfere to help one tide.
 The court also found that all of the :ases of alleged assault or violence :harged by the Iron League against he union were demolished by the af- idavits presented by the union. There we're really but two major cases of -iolence charged against the union. )ne non-union iron worker was stab ,ed while out automobile riding in the light time in the suburbs of Brooklyn The Iron League sought to fasten the .rime upon the union. The union dis posed of this charge by showing by he afidavits of it's officers and mem ,ers, backed by the uninpe npeachable | ecords of the hospital where the in ured man was taken, that his injuries were the result of disgraceful drunken orawl, with which the union, or its in lividua1 members, had no connection 
 The other case was that of non lnion worker who made an affidavit o the effect that he was so badly

Will Be Better Customers of Labor in Kansas, Senator Capper Says, But Doesn't Permanently Solve Farm ers' Problem.
By SENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER
Written for International Labor News
 Service.)

 Topeka, Kan, Aug. 9-Kansas has
 harvested an unusual wheat crop, probably 15O,OOOOOO bushels. The price
 at the county elevator is approximate Fly 30 cents higher than 60 days ago and the growers are getting it. This one crop means an increase of forty or fifty million dollars for Kan sas farmers.
 At the same time corn and hogs are making spectacular gains. Naturally the psychological effect upon men who have operated their farms for several years at loss is good: Wheat is a ready money crop and business in gen. era1 is already feeling the result.
 The farmers of the middle west will be better customers for the products of labor during the next 12 months.
 This does not mean that agriculture has found permanent prosperity. Kan sas has been lucky, that's all We have raised big crop in time of. shortage, We will feel the good eff fects for several years.
 Ready money and re-established credit will enable the farmer to inn prove his methods. He will be on a frmer footing, but he must not be left in a position where he is so dependent upon luck.
 With no lack of qualification in $11 hogs and SIPS wheat, the farmer must still insist upon equitable freight rates, a just system of taxation and better facilities. A piece of good luck does not wipe out injustice nor permanently solve our agricultural problems.

beaten by three men, who denounced him as 'scab" while they were beat
 ing him, that his body was covered with bruises and contuslons; and that his father had to take him to
 Bellevue Hospital. The union, how
 ever, showed, by the hospital records and officials, that the non-unlon affl- davit maker, was actually brought to
 the hospital by his father, but that he did not have a bruise or confusion upon his body. The union further proved, by the irrefutable hospital rec ords, that the man was suffering from rheumatic fever" when brought to the hospital, and that the story of the as sault was a complete fabrication. F1- nally his own father refused to be party to the fraud and would not ap- pear in court to corroborate him.
 These efforts to impose upon the court, event to the extent of suborn- ing perjury, was charged by the union to be the product of the Eos ter Detective Agency, which was in turn proven, beyond dispute, to be the tool and instrument of Walter Drew, and the National Erectors' Association, and the Iron League.
