The court ruled that the electrical workers strike called will result in a sort of military alarm and must be recog nized as malicious, since it overthrew the city's economic life and deprived those who wanted work. There Is no appeal from this court. . TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY. FOR RENT Furnished rooms for housekeeping. 'Pleasant location; close in. Inquire of Mrs. Hattie R.
