Adverse Decision
San Francisco, August 8. sunerior
Judge Hunt today decided againBt the
legality of pioketing and boycotting by
labor unions. The deoi-ion ' was ren
dered in the cae of E G Pierce agninet
the local stablemen's union and others.
The anion, as stated by the judge,
called out its men employed in the
defendant's stables and picketed his
place of business beoause he refused to
discharge a non-union and substitute
a union man in bis stead at the demand
of a walking delegate ot the union.
The action was brought to obtain a
permanent injunction against the de
fendants, which Judge Hunt granted
lative Ass tublr ot the state of Oregon
shewing the politics of each meuib-r
thereof.
