Question Of Picketing
Passed Upon Many Times.
Likewise, in the case Of Ideal
Manufacturing Co. VS.. Wayne Cir
cult Judge, 139 Mich, 90, which
opinion the court read yesterday in
denying the motion on the part Of
the defendants, the law clearly
established that real grounds are
set up in a bill of complaint for
equitable relief by injunction ask
ing for temporary relief, that it is
the duty of the court, when the
statements in the bill of complaint
set up sufficient grounds to issue a
temporary injunction, and that an
order to show cause is not essen
tial, is not necessary, and really is
not the proper procedure, so that
the order to show cause in this
case was merely matter Of
courtesy, more or less. so that the
parties might be heard here in
court.
The question Of picketing has
been passed upon by the Supreme
Court of our State a great many
times. The leading case on this
point is Beck VS.. Teamsters'
Protective Union, 118 Mich. 40.
Beck VS.. Railway Teamsters' Pro-
tective Union, 118 Mich, 497. The
court here states:
"The defendants have not ap-
pealed from the decree against
them. No attempt is made by their
counsel to defend or justify their
action, or to deny the many acts Of
intimidation, threats, and almost
violence; and the learned circuit
Judge in his opinion said: I am
satisfied these things have been
done, and that defendants have
combined together for this purpose.
do not intend to justify the pub
lication.' Their counsel frankly
comedies that it was unlawful for

defendants to enter upon the prem.
ises of the complainants, or to gath
er in groups in the street in front
of complainants' premises, or to
use any force or violence for the
accomplishment Of their purpose
In other words, they concede that
defendants we're engaged in an 'un-
lawful conspiracy as defined by
Shaw in Commonwealth VS.. Hunt,
4 Metcaf, Ill.
1.-The general rule of the common
law is that it is a criminal and
indictable offenSe for two or more
to confederate and combine to-
gether, by concerted means, to do
that which is unlawful or criminal,
to the injury of the public. or por-
tions or classes of the community,
or even to the rights OF an indi-
yidual'"
Courts Open TO Defendants
II They Feel Wronged.
The defense in this case has
interposed the argument that the
plaintiffs do not come into court
with clean hands, therefore that
the defendants are justified in their
wrong. The court yesterday asked
the defense counsel if they were
Of the opinion that one wrong
could be righted by another wrong.
The falsity of that position l.. ap-
parent by merely the stating Of
the position. The courts are open
to the defendants, If they are
wronged, and they may have re-
dress therein If they seek the as.
sistance of the courts.
Further in this decision the
court said:
1T is conceded that courts Of
equity have jurisdiction to restrain
conspiracies of this character when
irreparable injury Is sure to fol-
low. Suits at law would be in
adequate, and a multiplicity Of
suits at law would arise. Com
plainants were engaged in q law.

Jury to the complainant, before his
claims can be investigated, it Is
necessary to prohibit any change
in the conditions and relations of
the property and Of the parties dur
ing the litigation.
"And this Is especially true when

choice Of action and even the lives

families, when in the pursuit Of

other States or discussion here"
Then quoting a long line Of au-
thority.
Further Citations
Regarding Picketing Issue.
In re Langell, 178 Michigan. at
305, our courts have again spoken,
and this is a contempt proceeding
for violation Of injunctive relief.
And the court uses this language:
The contentious of petitioner
which require consideration are:
That the court had no jurisdiction
to issue the restraining order
against picketing; and that there
was no evidence in the case tend
ing to show violation of the
restraining order by petitioner in
any respect. This court has held
that a circuit court, in chancery,
has jurisdiction to issue an iniunc-
ton restraining interference by
labor organizations, and the men,
hers of the same. during a strike,
with the rights of an employer by
picketing his premises"
And again:
1T is urged that because petit
toner stationed himself at this
place and said nothing. and did
no overt act Of interference that
his acts, if found to be picketing.
were lawful. Such contention is
supported by many authorities.
The later and more reasonable
rule. however. holds that all pick
citing is illegal. The doctrine that
there may be moral intimida-
ton which is illegal, announced
BY the Supreme Court of Massa-
chusettS. was among the first judi
cial steps taken in this country
toward overturning the rule per-
mitting peaceable picketing ="
and was a forerunner of the later
lulC tlldV tllcIc CdIl Ut 10 SUCH
thing as peaceable picketing is
illegal"
In Clarage VS.. Luphringer, in
202 Michigan, at 612, the court
again has passed upon this ques-
ton Of picketing. using this Ian
guage:
1T is asserted by counsel for ap-
pellants that the principal ques-
ton involved is that of enjoining
the defendants from peacefully
or otherwise picketIng plaintiff
plant and 1t is said in argument:
Anent the Question
OF Intimidating Employees.
'As a matter of fact picketing
in and of itself is no more than
one Of the means of ascertaining
those upon whom persuasion may
be exercised advantageously to the

object Of the strikers. That was
the object in this case, but II It Is
held to be unlawful for the strikers
to adopt this obvious means of
ascertaining upon whom persuasion
may be effective it is q mere idle
statement to say the right of per-
suasion exists. Picketing per Sc is
no more harmful to an employer
than a parade through the streets
OF city where the plant is located
or than mass meeting to which
employees were invited would be.
"All these things are resorted to
for the purpose Of securing con-
verts to the cause OF the strikers.
II the paraders become violent and
assault those who refuse to agree
with them 1t becomes unlawful.
The same should be true Of picket
ing. 1t seems to us ridiculous TO
say that simply because an en-
ploye Is approached within the
neighborhood Of a struck plant
rather than at some place distance
from the plant that he Is subject
to intimidation in one case and not
in the other. There is no doubt
that under the guise Of picketing
strikes may annoy and interfere
with new men and by threats and
menaces, as well as by physical as
sault, intimidate them, but 1t Is the
duress and not the persuasion that
should be prohibited, and whether
or not there has been duress or
intimidation should be determined
from the evidence and not from
the fact merely that the persuasion
was resorted to in one particular
locality, or, in other words, that
there was picketing."
The Supreme Court in answer to
that argument said Just one thing.
The question thus raised and
discussed is not an open one In
this State. See Beck VS.. Protec-
tive Union, 118 Mich. 497, and
authorities there cited, as well as
the later case, in re Langwell, l78
Mich. 305.
Without approving Of the Ian
guage of the decree in head verba,
which we find unnecessary, the
same is affirmed upon the point
raised by the appeal. with costs"
In other words. that the in
junctive relief should stand.
Refuses to Be Guided
BY Mandate" of 1886.
Again the question is passed upon
as to the violation of the injunc-
ton in the Ideal Manufacturing
Co. case, In the l49th Michigan. at
1873.
There are numerous other cases
cited by the Supreme Court Of the
State of Michigan based upon this
same question, all holding in ac-
cordance with the decisions which
I have read.
This court cannot take the man
date of 1886 AS expressed, this
court must follow the law as estab-
lished by the Supreme Court OF
the State Of Michigan.
1t therefore follows that the relief
asked for by plaintiffs in this
action must be granted. The in
junction shall be issued out Of this
court commanding the defendants
that have appeared, and all de-
PENDANTS, and all persons operating
through, under or by virtue Of any
contact with these defendants to
evacuate the premises in question.
and further that they shall be re-
strained from picketing the plants
of the plaintiff.
This order further provides that
the sheriff of tins county shall read
the order of this court in the
premises described to the parties
therein, and that shall be sufficient
notice of the order of the court to
all parties involved And further
providing that the evacuation shall
be done within "a hours from this
time.

WHEELER ENTERS
COPPER DISPUTE
Takes Issue With Roosevelt
Contention Present Price
Is Too High.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon
tana, taking issue with President
of copper is too high, said yesterday
the proposed curtailment Of Govern
ment purchases would throw miners
out of work
The President contended that prices
Of durable goods, including steel and
copper, were too high. He enunciated
q new policy intended to boost pur-
chasing power for consumers goods
and discouraged Government buying
Of durable products.
Wheeler, whose State is one Of the
country's principal producers of cop
per, contended it would be impossible
for American miners ito have half
way decent standard of living" If the
price were reduced by any appre-
Ciable extent"
The market price recently has been
about II cents.
Statement Of Wheeler.
Already at odds with the White
House on the court reorganization is
sue, Wheeler said:
Il am sure the President Is wrong
when he states that mines in Montana
can produce at or cents and make
profit, and that mines in other
parts of the country can make money
on S or cent copper.
Il am sure the mines in Montana
cannot make any money and pay
present wages on or cent copper
They have a wage scale in Butte now,
I am told, OF Sc day for ordinary
miners.
THE wages go up or down auto
matically with the price of copper,
pursuant to the contract the COM
panies have with the miners.
When copper sold around or 9
cents a pound, companies in Butte
had to curtail production. No
copper mines in the United States
can produce copper for anything like
or cents pound now. Very few
OF them can produce and pay the
present wages on or 10 cent copper.
Independent mining companies In
Butte tell me they have to get at least

IA cents in order to pay the present
wage scale"
Cites African Competition.
Wheeler said Africa, with its slave
labor, is today the big competitor of
American copper" and added, Il know
OF no one in America who wants to
see American miners placed in a
position where they have got to COM
pete with either slave labor of Africa
or poems of Mexico"
Wheeler's colleague, Senator Muir
ray, Democrat, of Montana, declined
to join in the criticism, saying, mo
intelligent opinion could be formed
without knowing production costs" ;"
''The big corporations system OF
bookkeeping is such that the general
public can't know what the costs are
and 1t isn't supposed to know" he
