'Strong Language of] Court is Used in Opinion. | In language stronger than any yet uttered from a Western bench Judge Hebbard yesterday discouraged the | labor union practice of boycotting. He | declared that the one boycotted would be justified in meeting the acts with | personal violence under the right to eelf-defense. The court’s opinion is contained in a written ruling upon three law motions in the case of Goldberg, Bowen & Co. iagfllnst the Stablemen’s Union. The | irm was subjected to a boycott be- cause of differences with the union over a question of wages. It sued for 2 perpetual injunction, and a tem- porary restraining order was granted. Judge Hebbard denied a motion to modify the order, a motion to dis- | solve it and a demurrer to the com- plaint, all of which were based upon the union’s contention that it had a right to picket, to boycott and to in- | terfere with busipess and employes un- | der a construction of the law permit- | ting injury without damages. | Judge Hebbard's view of the ques- | tion is preceded by liberal quotations from the rulings of the United States | Supreme Court. The motions were submitted to him on briefs, the plain- | tiff being represented by Bush Fen- nell, attorney for the Citizens’ Alliance. Following is the opinion AUSE OF ACTION. This sction is brought to obtain a per- petual injunction against defendants. The gist of the ac as stated in the complaint is that on r about the 3d day of October, 1904, the said defendants entered into a com- | bination, confederation and conspiracy for the of coercing plaintiff to subject business to_the sald Sta- he ¢ of its blemen's Union, Local No. 8760, and the members thereof, by inaugurating and de | claring a oft on the business of said plaintiff_ and, thereupon, and on the 84 day of October, 1904, in pursuance of said un- lawful combination, confederation ahd con- placed, and continued to place, rep- spirac in f-ont of the places resentatives, or pickets, of business of plaintiff, carrying placards, or which are false in fact, bear- as follows, to wit: es of employes fifty ease don't patronize”; that nts have impeded, and tiff in the conduct and and has transparences, g the words Unfair firm; | cents per day. | these acts iof de: will impede, the plat transaction of its aforesald busine: ered, and will interfere, with not member y said plaintiff defendants are for th the em- employed that said actlons = of purpose of Intimidating atrons and _custo of plaintift who may lesire or attempt do business with said plaintiff. and that many patrons and custom- ers of said plaintiff have been, and now are, frightened and intimidated from entering the places of business of plaintiff, and the plain- I prays that the said defendants, their agents, attorneys and servants, be perpetually re- strained and enjoined from the performance of the sald acts, and each of the acts hereinto- before complained of, and from in any gnan- ner interfering with plaintiff in the conduct of its business, and restraining and enjoining the defendants, and each and all of them, from | causing any person or persons, any agent or agents. any representative or represent any picket or pickets, to be stationed in fron of, or in the nelghborhood of, the sald places of business of plaintiff, or from otherwise, at any time or times, molesting, harassing, annoy- ing, threatening, Intimidating, or interfering, with any person or persons transacting busi- ness wigh plaintiff, and for such other and further “and different relief, including costs, as to the court may seem just. Upon the filing plaint and an undertaking, an or- >w cause issued, also a preliminary Testraining order, In the prayer of the complaint | 7 The matters now submitted to the court are purely those of law, to wit: a motion to dis- solve the restraining order, an order to show cause why the same shouid not be modified, and a demurrer to the complaint. r DEFENDANTS’ ARGUMENT. | The argument of the defendants is, briefly, that a court of equity has no jurisdiction to en- tertain the case; that the acts complained of come within the criminal department of the | court; in other words, the question is: Can an action in boyeott be properly made the subject of a civil action under the law of this State? It appears from the complaint that it would be almost impossible to ascertain in an action at law the amount of damage caused the plain- Uff by the acts of defendants, but, conceding that it would be possible to ascertain a definite amount, it appears from the complaint that it 1ld be impossible to collect any judgment rendered for the €ame. If this be so, then plaintiff has no speedy or adequate remedy at | law, and equity will step in to protect the | rights of the partles, for the maxim of juris- that “‘for every Wrong there is a ought not to be considered a fiction. simply asks for the protection and preservation of property which by its skill ana | industry it has accumulated and now holds. There is guaranteed to every citizen, by the constitution of the United States and the con- stitution of the State of Callfornia, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the language of the constitution of the State of California, article 1, section 1, belng: *'All men are by nature free and independent, and have certhin inalienable rights, among 'which are those of enjoying and defending life and lib- erty, the acquiring, possessing and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety and happincss.” In ex parte Debs, 158 U. S., 501, the United “When there is of said union, nd language of the States Supreme Court says an interference, actual or threatened, with property rights of a pecualary nature, the jurisdiction of equity arises, and is not de- stroyed by the fact that such acts are accom- panied by or are themselves violations of a criminal law.” The court held that the organ- ization or co-operation of workingmen {s not of itself against the public policy, but if the pur- pose of an organization or combination of workingmen s to hamper or restrict the free- dom of the citizen in pursuit of his lawful trade or calling, and through contracts or ar- rangements with employes to coerce other workingmen to become members of the organ- ization and to come under its rules and condi- tions under the penalty of the loss of their po- sitions and deprivation of employment, such purposs ia against public palicy and ix' imlaw- tul. In State vs. Glidden, 3 Am. St. Reports, page 20, the court says: ‘It seems strange that in ‘this day, and in this free country, a country in which law interferes so little with the liberties of the individual, it should be necessary to announce from the bench that every man may carry on his business as he pleases, may do what he will with his own, %o long as he does nothing unlawful and mcts with due regard to the rights of others, and that the occasion for such an announce- ment shouid be, not an attempt by govern. ment to Interfere with the rights of the citi- Zen, nor by the rich and powerful to sup- press the poor, but an attempt by a large ! body of workmen to control by means, little 1 ny better than by force, the action of em. | ployers.” . FRUITS OF ENTERPRISE. In the case of Delz vs. Winfree, 26 Am. St. ! Reports, page 738, in Walker vs. Cronin, | 107 Mass., the court says: ‘‘Every one, has a right to énjoy the fruits and advantages | of his own enterprise, industry, skill apd credit. He has no right to be protected against » competition, but he hae a right to be free from maliclous and wanton Interference, dis- | turbance, or annoyance.’’ Tt is very evident that the acts of de-) fendants were intended to inflict injury upon | the business of the plaintiff. Tand that the plaintiff surrender its rights to manage its own business in its own way as I jts own judgment might dictate, and because it refused to surrender those rights the de. fendants endeavored to retallate. There are not, and there cannot be, any authorities to fustain the. defendants’ contention. ~There i3 o law, human, or divine, to uphoid their ar- gument.

The Only Sure Cure is Cuticura. If there were not another external #kin disease known, eczema would be a sufficient infliction on mankind. It per- vades all classes, and descends impar- Jtially through generations. While some are constantly enveloped in it, others have it confined to small patches in the | ears, on the scalp, on the breast, on the | palms of the hands, on the limbs, etc., but everywhere its distinctive feature is | asmall watery blister, which discharges an acrid fluid, cansing heat, inflamma- tion, and intense itching, scaling and crusting. t The Cuticura treatment is at omnce agreeable, speedy, economical and com- prehensive. Bathe the affected parts freely with hot water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales, and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Ointment to allay | itching, Irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, take Cuticura Resolvent, or Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood. This treatment af- fords instant relief, permits rest and sleep in the severest forms of eczema and other itching, burning and secaly humours, and peints to a speedy. per- manent and economical cure of tor- turing, disfiguring humours, eczemas, rashes and infiammations, from infancy to age, when all other remedles und the best physicians fail. 4 | smaller capacify TRY T0 WRECK g i THE oL TRAIN| SILK SUITS Dastardly Plot to Jeopard- ize the Lives of Pas- sengers Near Goshen Fails RAIL PLATES REMOVED Derailment of Freight En- gine and Cars Leads to a Startling Discovery A dastardly attempt was made Sun- | day night to wreck the south-bound Owl train near Goshen, and although the plans of the wreckers failed and many lives were probably saved, a freight train was derailed and the Southern Pacific Company was put to considerable expense to clear its tracks and repair the damage done. Shortly before 11 o’clock Sunday night a freight train on its way south went off the Qrails a mile south of Goshen unction. The engine and nine cars were derailed. A hurried investigation brought to light the fact that the angle plates had been unfastened from the rails and the ends of the latter displaced. Not satis- fied with this work, the persons who re- moved the plates placed a fishplate be- tween the end of the dislodged rails, so as to doubly Insure the derailment of the fast train. Fortunately the freight train pre- ceded the Owl by an hour, and when the engine and cars of the former went off the rails a brakeman was sent to the rear to set a danger signal and warn the regular passenger train. It is admitted by the railroad officials in this city that had the Owl train gone over the dislodged rails a serious wreck would have resulted and probably many lives would have been lost. Manager Agler of the Southern Pa- cific Company stated last evening that there was no doubt in his mind that the plates on the rails had been purposely removed to wreck the Owl, for it would have been hardly possible for outsiders to.know that a freight train was to | pass over the spot owing to the fact that the latter had been made up at a late hour and was not traveling on a regular schedule. Several attempts have lately been made to wreck the Owl, most recently near Martinez and Salida, and it would not surprise the railroad officlals if an investigation should reveal the fact that the same persons had been implicated in all the plots. It is the opinion of Manager A; ler that some crank with an imaginary grievance against the company is try- ing to wreck its trains. 1 —_——— Murine cures Eyes. Makes weak Eyes strong.

S BLOCKADED | SE | For the first time in the history of | this port the big Appraiser's building | has been found too small to contain all | the dutiable goods that must be hand- ; led by the customs department. The | customs officials are required by law to take to the Appraiser’s store 10 per | cent of all the dutiable goods of each ! cargo that arrives. Work was practi- cally brought to a standstill yesterday in that department, because from floor to garret dutiable goods are piled up so closely that it is hardly possible to walk between the piles. - The wharves are groaning beneath their burden, and the United States drayman cannot handle the goods. In w of the congestion Collector Stratton has given orders to the Ap- praiser's force to work overtime, and has promised to appaint as many ad- ditional samplers, weighers and exam- iners as may be necessary to break the blockade. He also issued an order that an extra building be engaged for a | branch of the Appraiser’s stores, so| that the work may be still further ex- | pedited. He expects to have a large building engaged within two or three | days. | The rapidly increasing trade with the | Orjent is given as a reason for the un- expectedly large inrush of dutiable merchandise from that part of the world. Those mammcth freight car- riers the Algoa, Manchuria, Korea and others, whose capacity is from 12,000 to 16,000 tons each, have made a great difference in the trade. Vessels of are arriving fully loaded and adding to the difficulties’ | of the custom-house problem. | Another factor which has a bearing on the Russian-Japanese war is that imports of-curios and other merchan- ! dise, the product of Japan, are more | than usually heavy at present. But most surprising is the fact that these Japanese goods are being offered for spot gold at a discount of 50 per cent off the regular quotations. The explan- ation of this is that Japanese mer- chants and manufacturers at home de- sire to turn their products into gold with as little delay as possible that | they may be enabled to assist their | Government by purchasing war bonds. | — | FORTL FOR YOUNG MAN.—Hugh J.
