answers of these witnesses that they continued members after the suit was commenced, elicited on cross examination, were admitted "solely as a matter of cross examination bearing upon the truthfulness of the testimony in chief". That it was proper for this purpose we have no doubt. In order to understand the attitude of the witnesses to the controversy and to the parties, it was competent to show what their relations were to the parties. The plaintiffs on cross examination had the same right to show that the witness was a member of the local union in good standing, as the defendants would have to show that a witness called by the plaintiffs was a partner in their firm. In either case the testimony shows the jury what manner of man the witness is and what interest he has in the result.

We see no error in the admission of testimony showing damages accruing

after the commencement of the action. It must be admitted that it is for the interest of all parties that this controversy be disposed of finally in a single action. If a plurality of actions. are brought the defendants will have good ground for the complaint that they are subjected to unnecessary expense and annoyance by being compelled to defend a second action, the trial of which will consume several

months. The charge of persecution in such circumstances would not be without justification.

The judge charged the jury on this subject as follows:

"The only acts of the defendants for which the plaintiffs may recover damages in this case are such acts as are set forth in the complaint and as were done by the defendants or their agents before the suit was commenced, and the plaintiffs are entitled to recover all damages which are the proximate and natural result of such acts, including such damages as may have continued or resulted therefrom after the suit was commenced by the plaintiffs, but cannot recover in this suit for any damages which are the result of the continuation of the alleged conspiracy after the suit was commenced or which are the result of the perfor

mance of any acts in furtherance of said conspiracy after the suit commenced."

We think this instruction states the rule correctly; it is based upon authority and common sense. The trial proceeded ceeded throughout upon the theory that the only acts of the defendants for which a recovery could be had must have taken place before the suit and must have been acts alleged in the complaint. Damages resulting or continuing from such previous acts might be recovered in the present suit, but no damages resulting from acts committed in furtherance of the conspiracy after the commencement of the suit could be so recovered. In other words, if the damages due to acts done previous to the suit continued thereafter, the plaintiffs could recover, but they could not recover for acts subsequent to the suit or for damages resulting from a continuance of the conspiracy

after the commencement of the suit. Assuming that the suit was commenced September 30, 1903, the plaintiffs were permitted to recover damages for acts done prior to September 30, although the damages resulting therefrom continued after that date. The plaintiffs were not permitted to recover damages resulting from the continuation of the conspiracy after September 30, and they were not permitted to recover damages resulting from an act done after September 30, 1903.

We see no error in the charge, or in the rulings of the judge, upon these questions, which rulings are sustained by the following authorities: New York, Etc., R. Co. vs. Estill, 147 U. S. 591; Occidental Gen. Mining Co. vs. Comstock Co., 125 Fed.; Cooper vs. Sillers, 30 App. Dist. Col. 567.

No one can examine this voluminous record without being impressed with the fact that the trial was conducted with perfect impartiality and with a determination on the part of the judge that both parties should have an absolutely fair trial. We are convinced that the defendants have had such a trial and that no error was committed which would justify us in imposing upon the parties the expense and delay of a third trial.

The judgment is affirmed with costs.
