statement tonight, charged the deci

in which the Teutons failed to break e Zmny "pa" such scalt of People's commissary of agriculture, de
through the Italian lines, says the Aus- i waces as said United Mine Workers of daring that all lands, with their living
tro-German commander sacrificed nun
dreds of thousands of his best men
without improving his position.
This description of the situation Is
given:
"The fierce fighting of the last few
days has subsided into a period of com
parative calm. The superhuman re
sistance of the Italians prevented the
Austro-Germans from attaining the
strategical advantages of their object
ive, although they succeeded In obtain
ing gains of purely tactical character.
The failure of the enemy attacks is in
dicated by the inactivity on the entire
front for three consecutive days. The
invaders have desisted from attacking
positions in the direction of the Brenta
Canal on account of the complete ex
haustion of the forces engaged.
"General Conrad von Hoetzendorff
has sacrificed hundreds of thousands
of his best soldiers in successive as
saults preceded by unprecedented artil
lery preparation, and today the position
of the Austro-Germans, while not im
proved by the progress made, is in
fact more unfavorable to them than at
the beginning of the offensive because
of the difficulties of revictualing the
troops. The heavy snowfalls of the
season will also aggravate the hard
ships of the enemy and threaten the
lines of communication.
"It may be stated, therefore, that the
central powers have failed to obtain
their general objective. namely, to
break through our lines into the plains
of Italy, where they expected to find
comfortable shelter during the Winter
months."

union had a right to do the things to
vhich the members of the court object.
"The" Supreme Court holds," the ma
jority opinion held, "that the plaintiff
was acting within Its lawful rights in
employing its men upon the terms that
they should not be members of the
United Mine Workers; that having es
tablished this working agreement be
tween 'it and its employes with the
free assent of the latter, the plaintiff
is entitled to be protected in the en
joyment of the resulting status as in
any other legal right; that the fact
that the employment was terminable by
either party at any time made no differ
ence, since the right of the employes to
strike or to leave the work gave no
rignt to defendants to Instigate i
strike; that plaintiff was and in en
titled to the good will of its employes
jjictmeiy as a mercnant is entitled to
the good will of his customers, although
they are under no obligation to deal
with him; that the value of the rela
tion lies in the reasonable probability
that by properly .treating its employes
and paying them fair wages and avoid
ing reasonable grounds of complaint
plaintiff will be able to retain them in
its employ and to fill vacancies oc
curring from time to time by the em
ployment of other men on the same
terms, and that defendants could not be
permitted to interfere with these rights
without some Just cause or excuse.
Union's Rights Conceded.
"By way of justification or excuse,
Defendants set up the right of working
nen to form unions and to enlarge their
membership by inviting other working
men to Join. The opinion of the court
Ireely concedes this right, provided the
objects of the union be proper and le
gitimate, which is assumed to be true,
in a general sense, with respect to the
United Mine Workers of America.
"But the court holds that it is erro
neous to assume that this Hrh .
