GASE IN DISTRIGT OF COLUMBIA COURT. No Notice of Appeal Was Made by, Federation Attorney and the Case Will Proceed to Final Hearing Next Spring—Secretary Taft Cited as Au: thority. ~ Washington, Dec. 17.—In the cas¢ of the Buck Stove and Range Co. ol St. Louis, against the American Fed-| eration of Labor, involving the right of labor to boycott business houses which iabor organizations regarded as “unfair” to them, Justice Gould of th. | district of Columbia equity court Tuesday granted a temporary injune- | tion asked for by President Van Cleave of the stove company, to pro- hibit the federation from continuing to boycott the company, pending final settlement of the case. - A bill in equity was filed by th company last August for,a perma ! injunction restraining the federatic: from boycotting the company an 1 putting it on the “unfair” list in th federation’s official organ and later « supplemental bill was filed chargin that notwithstanding the pending prc | ceedings the federation was still ac tively engaged in pressing the boy: | cott and a temporary injunction.! passed upon Tuesday, was asked for. The case will now proceed to a fina) , hearing which is not expected before ' early next spring. The court in ren-; dering its voluminous findings, ex-, plained that there were several points | which he had not taken up in the pres- . ent decision, including the question whether the boycott came within the inhibition of the inter-state commerce law. Owing to the preliminary nature of Tuesday’s proceedings there was, no notice of appeal by the counsel for | the federation. | The court made numerous citations : of decisions in cases involving similar | issues, including references to rulings ° by Judge Taft, the present secretary | of war then judge of the circuit court in the action of the “Toledo, etc., Rail- way vs. Penn. company.” | Judge Gould declared that it was not surprising that there was so little dif-! ference of opinion among the courts | upon the question involved and that the conclusion that such combinations as that disclosed by the affidavits filed by the Buck Stove company in this case were held-to be unlawful was based upon appreciation of the funda- mental rights of free men in a free} country. He said there was little room | for arguments or discussion of the’ question whether the plaintiff company “had shown the existence of an unlaw- ful combination and conspiracy to de- > gtroy its business and that the record Jeaves no doubt that the plaintiff has been and still is the object of a boy-| 2 ‘cott, using that term “in the most ob-| “noxious sense, viz: an unlawful con- spiracy to destroy its business, such ! ‘a conspiracy as has received the con-' ‘demnation of every federal and state | court in the country before which it has been brought for criminal, action, legal redress: or’ equitable injunction.” . Phe case has attracted widespread attention and Tuesday's decision has ‘been awaited with great interest by, labor and business interests through- ; | \Vednesday morning. METCALF AND CORTELYOU ILL.

From{:information developed by the second assistant postmaster gen- eral in investigating General Secre- tary Sheppard’s complaint for the National Association of Railway iTrainmen against the Missouri Pa- cific railroad, it has been decided ithat the charges will be ignored, | says a Washington dispatch. The complaint was sensational in nature, alleging that the railroad had but 200 miles of safe track in its whole system. “I find,” sald Second Assistant McCleary, “that the Missouri Pa- cific does not appear to have paid the postoffice department more than about $100 a month on an average in fines assessed for delay in trans ‘mitting the mails. This is about the average most of the roads pay, and Ido not think {t justifies any ‘action on our part.—Nevada Mail. | Failed to Make Good.
