INSTRUCTIONS.

In a suit for an injunction to restrain strik-
ing workmen from unlawfully interfering with
complainant's business and employés, in which
a large number of persons are made defend-
ants in their indivdual capacity, an injunction
will be granted only against those who are
shown to have participated in unlawful acts. In civil actions, see "Trial," § 2.
but the other defendants are chargeable with
knowledge of the injunction and its terms, and
will be bound thereby.-Pope Motor Car Co. v.
Keegan (C. C.) 148.

*Where the only object of a suit in equity is
a permanent injunction, a temporary injunction
will not issue if the court is of the opinion that
there is no probability that the complainant will
succeed on the merits.-Montgomery Ward & Co.
v. South Dakota Retail Merchants' & Hardware
Dealers' Ass'n (C. C.) 413.

§ 3. Violation and punishment.

The constant maintenance of pickets by strik-
ers after repeated acts of violence, the use of
abusive epithets, and the creation of an un-
friendly atmosphere surrounding workmen by
such pickets constitutes a conspiracy for the pur-
pose of willfully or maliciously injuring the
business of the employer within the meaning
of Wis. Rev. St. 1898, § 4466a, which makes
such a conspiracy a criminal offense, and is a
violation of an injunction against such con-
spiracy. Allis-Chalmers Co. v. Iron Molders'
Union No. 125 (C. C.) 155.

Acts of pickets maintained by strikers con-
sidered which would amount to coercion and
intimidation of the employer's workmen in viola-
tion of an injunction.-Allis-Chalmers Co. v.
Iron Molders' Union No. 125 (C. C.) 155.

*A labor organization or its officers, or a
committee which selects members to act as pick-
ets during a strike, may become responsible for
the unlawful acts of such pickets or their viola-
tion of an injunction, although they were in-
structed in good faith to observe the injunction
and do no unlawful act, where, with knowledge
that the instructions have been disobeyed by par-
ticular persons, they are still kept in the serv-
ice.-Allis-Chalmers Co. v. Iron Molders' Union
No. 125 (C. C.) 155.

INSURANCE.

§ 1. The contract in general.

*Where a life insurance contract is expressly
made subject to the laws of a particular state,
the remedy of the insured for an anticipatory
breach thereof by the company is governed by
the law of such state.-Michaelsen v. Security
Mut. Life Ins. Co. (C. C.) 224.

§ 2. Avoidance of policy for misrepre-
sentation, fraud, or breach of
warranty or condition.

*A policy of fire insurance which contains a
provision that it shall be void "if the subject
of insurance be personal property, and be or
become incumbered by a chattel mortgage," is
avoided in its entirety where it covers personal
property which was incumbered by chattel mort-
gages at the time it was issued, which fact was
not disclosed to the insurer; and this, although
the policy also covers real property belonging
to the same owner.-Fries, Breslin Co. v. Star
Fire Ins. Co. (C. C.) 611.

§ 3. Forfeiture of policy for breach of
promissory warranty, covenant,
or condition subsequent.
*Under the law of New York the renunciation
of a contract of insurance by a mutual life in-
to disaffirm the contract and recover damages
surance company does not entitle the insured
for its breach.-Michaelsen v. Security Mut. Life
Ins. Co. (C. C.) 224.

§ 4.

Extent of loss and liability of in-

surer.

The master of a stranded vessel who remains
with her does so as the agent of whoever may
be ultimately determined to be her owner in
consequence of that event, and where an aban-
donment is subsequently accepted by the in-
surers, although it may be months afterwards.
it relates back to the date of the stranding, and
the master is from that time their agent, for
whose wages they are responsible.-Hume v.
Frenz (C. C. A.) 502.

*The action of the insurers of a stranded ves-
sel in sending an agent to take charge and to
salve her if possible cannot be construed against
them on the question whether or not they ac-

cepted an abandonment, where it was expressly agreed between them and the owners that such agent should go as the representative of all parties in interest.-Hume v. Frenz (C. C. A.) 502. *The action_of_the insurers of a stranded vessel in taking and retaining possession of her to make temporary repairs and in finally permitting her to be sold for the cost of permanent repairs made at their instance held to be a constructive acceptance of an abandonment by the owner.-Hume v. Frenz (C. C. A.) 502.

5. Payment or discharge, contribution, and subrogation. Under a burglar insurance policy insurer held not entitled to replace a damaged safe as part payment of its liability.-Bankers' Mut. Casualty Co. v. State Bank of Goffs (C. C. A.) 78.

§ 6. Actions on policies.

In an action on a burglar's insurance policy, evidence held insufficient to show the falsity of a representation that the door of insured's safe was five inches thick.-Bankers' Mut. Casualty Co. v. State Bank of Goffs (C. C. A.) 78.

Evidence considered in an action on an accident policy, and the question whether the occupation of the insured was substantially that described in his application held one for the jury. -Wilder v. Continental Casualty Co. (C. C. A.) 92.

A patent is sufficiently identified in a decree by giving the number and name of the patentee, and the decree is not rendered void for uncertainty because the description of the invention is not given in the language of the title head of the patent, which is merely used for the purposes of classification in the Patent Office.Maginn v. Standard Equipment Co. (C. C. A.) 139.
