union by the luiled Slates circuit
court of appeals. The decision estab

rulw that no contract exists between
the union and the Typothetae to main
tain the uine-hour I:iy. as alleged in
the complaint. It was he'd in the
court below thai no Injunction could
lie to restrain the officers of the union
from advising the union men to keep
or break a contract. The legal princi

right of interested parties to inter

A case similar to the one decided is
pending in the supreme court of the
I'nited States. The typothetae attacked
the union, alleging that the officers
were contract breakers. The officers

Netv York. Judge Gary of the
United States Steel corporation again
issued a denial of the persistent
rumors that a cut in the wages of the
corporation's 240.000 employes on or
about April 1 had been decided upon.
The proposition had not even been
considered, he repeated. As to the
situation in the trade. Judge Gary
said that no considerable business had
resulted s far from the price cuts.
He declined to venture any predic
tions, and stated emphatically that the
corporation had no agreements of any
kind with its competitors, not even -as
to the price of rails. If any of the
manufacturers wanted to reduce the
price of rails there was nothing to
prevent them from doing so. He
thought that the present price was low
enough, however. Judge Gary de
clined to say whether, in his opinion,
wages would ultimately have to come
down as a result of the recent price
cut.
