Springfield, Illinois, ure spending the
holidays in McKlnney with Mrs.
Alice Vaughn on East Damar street.
Airs. Vaughan is tho mother of Mrs.
Lawrence, formerly lived in Spring-
field.
Mr. Lawrence la at present engaged
as factory superintendent for the
Burton M. Reid Manufacturing Co.,
manufacturers of wutch materials,
located at the Cupital City of Illinois,
the home of the Illinois Watch.
Mr. Lawrence, has already taken
several sight-seeing trips over tho
state in this locality, including Dallas
and Fort Worth. He expressed sur-
prise and pleasure at the size, growth
and evident prosperity of those cities.
When interviewed, expressed himself
as being very favorably impressed with
beauty and advantages of McKlnney
and vicinity. When asked for his opin-
ion of the ollmate he said, "Me for it."
As he gazed over the broad expanse of
black land south of McKinney he fur-
ther remurkod that the rumor of hard
times to the owners of such land must
surely be a myth.
Several of our progressive citizens
have approached Mr. Lawrence with
the idea of establishing a watch mu-
teriul factory in McKlnney and it may
be that with the labor and rent con-
ditions being favorable thut he may-
be persuaded to do so in the near fu-
ture.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence expect to
to return to their home in Springfield
Saturday. The Courier-Gazette wishes
them a very pleasant and happy visit
while here and hopes that they will
see fit to visit McKinney aguin at their
earliest, oportunity.

Washington, Jan. 4.—An impor-
tant principle bearing on the use of
the injunction and tho boycott as
weapons in Industrial warfare was es-
tablished by the United States Su-
preme Court In Its decision In the suit
of the Duplex Printing Press Com-
pany of Battle Creek, Mich., against
the International Association of Ma-
chinists.
Briefly, the Supreme Court held, in
un opinion handed down Monday,
thut the Federul statutes do not make
it legal for unions to engage in "sec-
ondary boycotts." A secondary boy-
cott is one In which the union di-
rectly Involved in a dispute seks to
enforce Its demands by enlisting tho
aid of other unions or the public genA
e rally.
The view of the court, to which six
Justices subscribed and from which
three dissented, is distinctly unfavor-
able to labor, involving as it does an
adverse construction of the Clayton
amendments to the Sherman anti-
trust. law. I^abor hailed the Clayton
act as the most notable piece of so-
cial legislation in generutions, believ-
ing ii. established the board principle
that Federal Course can not Intervene
'r. labor disputes by granting Injunc-
tions. It was contended that the in-
junction was employed to defeat
strikes, and that men were deprived
of constitutional liberties through the
arbitrary exercise of powers by judg-
es.
♦ ♦ ♦
"Secondary Boycott" Illegal.
Now, however, the court holds that
the action of the machinists in the
Dupley case was a "secondary boy-
cott," and not a part of the "normal
and legitimate" aim of a trade union
and that, therefore, the action was
not justified by the Clayton act. The
court said the "immunity clause ot
the Clayton act" can not be stretched
to cover "illegal acts" of unions, and
that Congress had no Intention of au-
thorizing secondary boycotts.
The union had called a strike In
an effort to force the closed shop In
tho Duplex plant. The company as-
serted that the union endeavored to
halt the use, hauling, and setting up
of its presses, and argued this was a
conspiracy in restraint of interstate
commerce, It was claimed that the
unions threatened to bring about
strikes wherever the presses of the
Duplex Company wore used or to be
used.
The company asked an injunction,
nut the contention of the unions was
upheld in the lower courts, which the
Supreme Court reversed.
IK'fense In Clayton Act.
The defense of tjio unions was the
Clayton act. It was pointed out that
the act was passed soon after ana
as a result of the Danbury Hatters'
case, and 'he argui. ent wa.i made
that the principle Involved was the
same. The Danbury hatters organ*
ized a bt.x i'tt !• g.unst tho worn*
ers were held individually responsible
p.nd it was claimed that many work-
ers were improverised as a result ot
the decision.
Isobar started a tremendous agita-
tion, which finally resulted In the
Clayton act.
Justice Brandeis dissented from
the majority, and was joined by
Justice Clark and Holmes.
Brandeis claimed the majority
opinion "renders futile and effort
continued more than twenty-years to
place employers and employes on an
equal footing before the law."
"It is clearly a case of self-defense,"
said Brandeis, referring to tho re-
fusal of employers to sell products
where union abor exclusively is em-
ployed. "Tho question is whether
60,000 laborers may say we will not
let our men work on products manu-
factured In shops we are striking
against," he said.
