Editor Sues Union Men.
Thomas J. Richards and Martin F.

men. He alleges the men went to busi
ness houses and insisted upon the with
drawal of their advertising and printing
from Hopewell's office, under penalty of
being boycotted themselves.
The real prosecutor in the ease is the

business man suffering from trades
unionism boycotts.
