It is a declaration that an employer may conduct his business with employes who will earn their wages. The decision means practically that employers may use the ‘open-shop’ policy without interference from incompetent men. It bars boycotting and cheap carriers of signs in front of the place where a man is conducting a business Through the de- cision competent men who refuse to pay the toll exacted by labor that is honest and to the interest of the public. unions for the privilege of working for their living are given the protection of the law.

Baron's grest sale on cloaks and suits this week only. 115 Geary st., from 762 Market, ¢ of Association. A scenes of violence during strikes. Judge John Hunt of the Superior Court handed down a decision yester- day which, in its effect upon industrial affairs, is the most important ever ren- dered on the Pacific Coast. This deci- sion was reached in the case of E. G. Plerce, proprietor of the Nevada sta- bles, supported by the Citizens' Al- liance, against Stablemen’s Union, Lo- cal No. 8760, | i on the side of the stable owner. The union produced no witnesses. The ar- guments were made by Maguire and Van Ness and the case was submitted. Judge Hunt's opinion, rendered yester- day, follows: CASE IS EXPLAINED. On the 224 day of April, 1904, the plaintift, P'Xerv.'e. was the owner of an interest in the Nevada Livery Stables; on that date he em ployed ten men, all of whom, save one, This suit had as its purpose the quiet- | j25°d 1o the defendant, the Stablemen's i 1 posed ing of the striking stablemen that| 600 members. Azo:.’u:"{rm:ogne nln?:mw:: tween the plaintiff and his men were har- monious; the latter Were working upon the schedule, during the hours, for the wages, and under the conditions prescribed by their About 7 o'clock on the morning of that day the plaintiff was visited by a walking delegate of the defendgnt’s union, who re- Quested him to discharge the non-union man then in his employ and substits man in his steag, ” eIl The plaintiffl déclined to do so; whereu :lm; wn!klllis dele{'i](ei interviewed’ all of The inion employes of plaintiff and they thereupon ceased work and left his employment. snor’fiy thereafter two pickets from the union arrived and commenced to march up and down In front of the stable entrance; one of them carrying & banner bearing the words, “Unfalr stable! Uni men put in:" The following day three or four pickets ap- peared and patrolled the premises, and within & week thereafter the number of pickets grad- uvally Increased, until upon some occasions there were as many as fifty men. Concurrently with the strike in plaintiff's stable the union employes in some thirty-six other stables in this city went out and were thereupon assigned to picket duty at those stables. Dally, between § and 7 o'clock in the evening and when patrons of plaintiff, with their horses and vehicles, were returning to the stable, there were never less than thirty and frequently from forty to fifty pick- ets, bearing one or more of banners re- ferred to and marching in front of plaintiff's stable in an elliptical formation, their line extending nearly fifty feet and completely blecking the entrance thereof. While the pickets were thus marching one or more of them ~was continuously shouting, “Unfair stabl The presence of so large a body of men, thelr marching, their banners and their out- cries, served to attract the attention and presence of a large concourse of people, so that travel upon the street in front of the stable e mn:e-lt‘ed ;.o the extent that, upon oc- ons, police interference was necessary to clear both sidewalk and street. One Munroe Wwas @ppointed by the union captain of the picketd, with full authority to order, direct and conirol their action. He testified that his business was Lo see tha the men acted “‘within the law,” but the union left it to him to determine what conduct, upon their part,-would be “within the law.” He admitted that he was the agent of the harassed, threatened and terrorized the non-union men employed by the stable owners in place of union men who re- fused to work when demapds made by them were rejected as unreasonable. In the prayer of his complaint Pierce de- manded that an injunction issue per- petually restraining the defendant un- jon from interfering with his business in any way, from picketing his prem- ises and from molesting or intimidatng his workmen and patrons. His prayer has been granted by Judge Hunt, and in language that is plain and supported by higher authority the court reaffirms the principle that the right to labor is natural and inalieniable. Judge Hunt's opinion will serve to clarify the local atmosphere, which has long been clouded by controversy be- tween employer and employe. His order is the most sweeping ever issued by & Western court against the common practices of unionism. In view of the fact, however, that the constitution- ality of a statute upon which the un- ions based their right to boycott and make the same effective is ruled against, the case will not rest on Judge Hunt's decision. It will be carried at once to the Supreme Court by the de- feated organization. This fact was an- | nounced in Judge Hunt's courtroom vesterday morning by C. P. Munroe, captain of the stablemen’s pickets, who was present to hear the reading of the decision. ! STABLEMEN RESTRAINED. { | In June Judge Hunt issued a tem- porary restraining order against the stablemen that were boycotting Plerce’s stable and committing various acts tending to injure his business. When the hearing came up on a motion to dissolve the injunction it was agreed between James G. Maguire, attorney for the union, and T. C. Van Ness, at- torney for the stable owner, that the case should be tried on its merits and should be a test case of the right of un- ions to boycott and commit other acts against a business without fear of in- Junction from a court of equity. The statute upon which the union relied fol- men locked out and non-union to “‘put pressure ol iaimcd force’” upon plaintiff. He had the right to take “boycotting measures” against the plaint- iff and that he acted accordingly. METHODS OF STRIKERS.

In its effect upon industrial conditions no more sweeping decision has been rendered on the Pacific Coast. The Judge’s opinion enters exhaustively into the right of organizations to boycott, and points to the long line of authorities that declare the boycott illegal. Continuing, the decision divests the union of its one remaining defense—the act of 1903; which was passed at the demand of the labor leaders, and which prohibits courts ot equity from interfering by injunction to restrain combinations of men in trade disputes from committing acts which, if done by one person, would ot be criminal. This statute, the court holds, is class legislation and unconstitutional. This decision, if upheld by the Supreme Court, will go far toward preventing Judge Hunt Declares Statute Divesting Tribunals of, Right to Inte fere in Industrial Strife Unconstitutional and Void. at all, but wers boarded and lodged within it. Subsequently, under the protection of a police officer, they werd escorted restaurant, but even then they were occasion- ally followed and menaced by pickets. Upon one occasion an employe of plaintift was attacked by two men and knocked down; one of his employes was followed to his home and struck with a rock, and another was ap- proached by some of the pickets and urged to join the union; upon his refusal to do 5o he was informed that he would be ‘‘finished.”” One of the health ordinances of the city for- blds rtable-keepers allowing manure to ac- cumulate upon their premises, and requires its removal with reasonable expedition. When the plaintiff, in compliance with that law, sought to securs men to remove the manure from his stable, they were dissuaded from doing s0 by the pickets, and it was only under police protection that plaintiff, after several days, was enabled to perform a duty imposed upon him by law and sanitary considerations. A dealer in hay who visited plaintiff during the strike to obtain orders was requested by some of the pickets not to sell to the plaintiff; they suggested to him that if plaintiff could not procure feed his horses would starve, and when the dealer refused to consider the in- human proposition he was threatened that if he continued to deal with plaintiff he would be_boycotted In his business. turning to plaintiff's stable were at times fdghtened by the crowd which sur- rounded It, and one patron of plaintiff, on that account, was compelled to enter the stable from the rear. Frequently the shouts of the pickets were boisterous, thelr manner menacing and thelr language opprobricus and threaten- ing. In conssquence of the boycott plaintiff was harassed and annoyed, his business was in- jured, be lost weveral customers, he was un- able to hire out his hacks and road vehicles for lack of drivers and was compelled to send twelve of his horses to pasture. BOYCOTT IS DEFINED. The courts generally hold that the ‘‘boy- cott” is iliegal; it has been thus held in Vir- ginia, 84 Va. 927; New Jersey, 53 N. J. Eq. 01; Kansas, §3 Fed. Rep. 912 Michigan, 118 Mich. 407; Massachusetts, 167 Mass. §3; Hli- nots, 101 Ill. App. 355, and in Minnesota, 45 Fed. Rep. 135. This action was brought to obtain a perma- ment injunction against the defendants, the Stablemen’s Union and others, to restrain them from continuing the ‘“‘boycott.” Upon filing the complaint a restraining order was issued enjoining defendants from interfering with plaintif’s business, from picketing his promises and from molesting or intimidating any of his workmen or patrons. Upon the ser- vice of the restraining order the ‘‘boycott” ceased. The cause was tried and submitted and the facts herein before enumerated were proven by overwhelming evidence. There is no testimony, however, implicating the defend- . E. Maza and John Killian, and as to Jetencunts the action is dismissed. to and from a only question of 1&W to be determined, The de- fendant’s counsel claims that the plaintiff’s remedy, If any, must be sought, either In a criminal proceeding or in a civil action for dumages. In_ respect to the former clatm it is to be noted that @ Wrongful act is, in re- spect to its nature, either a public offense or 2 private injury; but, in respect to_remedial consequences, it may be both. The State may punisi a wrongdoer by imprisonment, but that circumstance in no wise impairs the civil remedy “of the aggrieved party. In ex parte 158 U. S., 091, the United States Su- preme Court say: ‘‘When there is an inter- ference, actual or threatened, with property Tighis of @ pecuniary mature,” the jurlsdiction of equity arises, and Is not destroyed by the fact that such mcts are accompanied by, or are themselves, violations of a triminal law.” In this case the answer admits that, if the fendants are not restrained, the plaintiff's business will be completely destroyed. For such a wrong the Penal Code affords the plain. Gff no remedy. The criminal law cannot recompense plaintiff for loss sustained, canmot Testrain others from committing like acts, can- not enjoin the union from continuing the boy- cott, nor can it prevent a threatened injury to_hie mromerty. Would a civil suit for damages avail the plaintiff? In this case the answer admits that the defendants are financially irecsponsible. ence @ money ent against them would be unavailing. Furthermore, a proceedings would involve & sufts.

Now, it is a cardinal rule of equity jurls- prudence that, where injury to property is threatened by the acts of parties who are un- able to respond in damages, or where the re- dress of an Injury will occasion a multiplicity of suits, or where the da resuiting is irreparable, a court of equity will furnish the injured party the only remedy that can avall Several small depositors withdrew their money in the morning.

In my opinicn there can be no support for such legislation, undermining and destroying as it does, a constitutional right. PROVISION IS VOID. in the case is this: Is the plaintiff entitled to an injunction? Defendant's counsel claims that he is not so entitled; that, even If the defendants cannot respond in damages, even if the injury done, or threatened to be done, was, or is, irreparable in its nature, even if a multiplicity of suits would be occasioned, and even If the pecuniary damage sustained by plaintiff would be difficult of ment, still a court of equity cannot enjoin the acts " complain use an act of Legislature of this State from forever safeguards the rights of persons and the rights of property. Freedom is of the Spirit and essence of the Constitution; but | freedom thus guaranteed to the citizen no more implies a license in one man or in any combination of men to harass or injure an- other in the pursuit of his lawful business, than it implies a license to deprive him of his personal liberty. The Constitution alike protects natural freedom and industrial free- | lom. If the right of the March 20, 1903, doing so.

For the law to declare a right, | my it all means of enforcement, | cases one court sought to enjoin judicial pro ceedings in anether court and, in each I stance, it was held that the court was po erless to make such an order. In the Wright case the court held that the Legislature may restrain the judicial power to enjoin, “when. by statutory changes, some right ceases to exist and in cases of equitable cognizance which no longer arise.”” This case does mot fall within either of the “above classes. Ths right of property, granted to the plaintiff by the™ constitution is nof right which has ceased to exist; mor h he cases in which an injunction is necessary in order to pre- | vent & multiplicity of actions ceased to be | cases of equitable cognizance. It is undoubtedly true that the Legislature. in these cases, may alter, or that such combination shall not be considered as In restraint of le; “mor shall any re- strai order or injunction be issued in re- lation to: provided that nothing in this act shall be construed to authorize force or violence or threats thereof.” In this case, the Droofs, as we have seen, dantly show threats, force and violence: nevertheless, defendant’s counsel contends that a court of equity is prohibited from issuing injunctions in cases of ‘‘trade disputes’” be- tween employer and employe; and that the legisiative declaration against threats, force or violence is applicable only to the subject of conspiracies; and that no matter what force or Intimidation ‘“is practiced upon the employer, by the employe, in a trade dispute” equity s powerless 10 relieve by injunction. Plaintiff's counsel contends that, if the act of 1903 admits of such a construction, it is pnconstitutional.
