A complaint in an' action to enjoin the picketing or boycott of a nonunion place of business states a cause of action, where it alleges that, upon failing to discharge a nonunion employee, the defendants, composing a union, ordered and maintained a strike against the plaintiff, and in pursuance thereof congregated about his place of business in great numbers, and maintained pickets informing his patrons that it was a scab and unfair place and attempting to dissuade persons from entering therein, etc., thereby affecting his trade; since such acts amount to an invasion of the plaintiff’s lawful rights, and are properly restrained by injunction.</p>
