It is im portant that this case b note-i. Vice Chaucellor Pitney of New Jersey is sued an injunction against some strik ing ri ribbon weavers of Peterson, N J, in which he forbade picketing io any of its forms, and even prohibited tbe strikers from spending money to cany on their contest. When this injunc tion caine- before C hancellor Magee for review, cut out those extreme pro visions of the order, which left the strikers free to post rickets and urge non-union workmen to their forces, provided that the pickets nctedin a peaceable and orderly way. So far as New Jersey is concerned, therefore, this unreasonable and oppressive ex tension of the iujuLction process has been checked.
