Chicago Court Hulcw Against Striking
Printers.
Chicago, Oct.' 21. The injunction
Issued last week restraining the mem
bers of the Typographical union No.
16, from Interfering with the firms
Composing the Chicago Typothetae
during the present strike or the union
printers by means of pickets or other
wise, has been sustained by Judge
Holder in the superior court, In a de
cision which classes the attempt of
members of the Typographical union
to force a contrail for an eight-hour
diiy and for a closed shop upon the
employers as unlawful.
In speaking of the demand for a
closed shop and an eight-hour riity
which brought about the present
trouble between the union and the
printing concerns, Judge Holder said:
"The foundation of the strike In
this rase Is the union contract de
manding a closed shop and an eight
hour day. Itolh the closed shop und
right-hour day are untnwful when It
Is attempted to force an employer to
enter It against his will."
The injunction ns It stands restrains
the union and Its members from In
terfering with the business or em
ployes of the complainant firms, either
l.y attempting to dissuade tne cm
ployes from working, or from sending
nut circulars to the customers of the
firms asking them to boycott the
strike-bound houses. '

HON J. N. BURGESS
Hon. J. N. Burgess, representative
from Wasco county in the state legis

the Antelope country, Is In the city
today. It is the first time that Mr.
Burgess hus been in Pendleton, at least
In a long time, and this morning he
expressed In strong terms his admira
tion for the place.
"I believe that Pendleton Is Ihe best
town In eastern Oregon," said he.
"for it certainly makes a better ap
pearance than any other place I havo
seen east of the mountains."
As representative from his county
In the legislature, Mr. Burgess was
the father of the bill creating Stock
man county, which met with defeat at
the last session. At present he says
there is no agitation for division
among the people of that section of
the county, and apparently they have
taken the lust dereat as final.
In politics Mr. Burgess Is allied with
the Moody forces In Wasco county and
his part of the county hus been the
scene of many bitter fights between
Moody and Williamson elements. But
although Mr. Burgess has been op
posed lo Congressman Williamson In
politics, he takes no exultation over
the recent conviction of that man. As

to the general sentiment In that part
of the state over the congressman's

belief that the land laws were not
meant to be enforced.
The recent peace conference at

J. O. Lamb, O. It. & N. section fore
man at Cayuse, la now In an under
taker's parlors as a result of falling
under an O. It. & N. freight train
yesterday afternoon. Death came to
the Injured man Just at 12 o'clock to
day. After being taken to the hos
pital everything possible was done by
Dr. Cole to relieve the man's suffer
ing. However, It was soon seen that
there was no hope for his recovery.
Both legs had been cut off cotnplete
ly by the train, one being severed
about the knee, while the oilier one
was cut off at the thigh.
The accident occurred yesterday as
the freight train was crossing Franklin
street going east. Several who saw
ihe accident say that Lamb had been
riding on a pile of lumber on a car
and evidently lost his balance. He
was seen to roll down onto the end of
the car where there was but a narrow
place, and then, grasping and clutch
ing to save himself, fall botween the
cars and across the track. After the
car passed over him he was at once
picked up, and is said lo have re
malned absolutely mum, evidently be
ing dazed by the terrible accident. Dr.
Cole was at once summoned to the
hospital, where the Injured man was
taken, and urrlved In his automobile
in a short time. However, the injury
was such that medical skill could do
but little. On being picked up several
flasks of whiskey were found In Ihe
pockets of the injured man, and It Is
said he was partly intoxicated at the
Mime, and that through being In that
condition he came to his end
