A. Hawley Upheld by Court in Move to Prevent Practice by Dr. B. E. Erikson. Justice - Hoehling of the District | Supreme Court has rendered an opin- ion holding that Dr. Charles A. Haw- ley, an orthodontist, is entitled to an injunction preventing his former as- sistant, Dr. B. Edwin Erikson, from practicing orthodontia, or straighten- ing of teeth, in the District of Colum- bia for a period of 10 vears. Dr. Hawley took Erikson .into his office September 2, 1919, under an agree- ment by which the latter was.to be paid a salary for five years while he was being taught the science, and in | which it was specifically set forth that Erikson agreed that after leaving the | service of Hawley he would not prac- | tice in_Washington for 10 years. Dr. Brikson defended his alleged breach of the contraot on the ground | that it was against public policy and that if he were not allowed to practice | here he would be unable to earn a livelihood without spending much | time in preparation for examinations | to practice in other jurisdictions. He | also pointed out that his wife Is em- | ployed here and his removal from the District would result in the loss of | her employment. | | Justice Hoehling in declaring Erik- | son bound by his contract pflh\led; out that in this case especially the | necessary knowledge could not be acquired at a school or college, but | is best learned by being associated | for a number of vears with a com- | petent orthodontist. The court in re- | ferring to the defense of public policy |adopts the langyage of the Court of | Appeals in the Godfrey vs. Roessle case, remarking, “Such a defense al ways comes with a bad grace from a party to the contract who has re- celved full consideration and enjoyed the fruits of the contract.” Erikson, he shows, had worked nearly five vears and had learned the science and received the salary agreed on The decision of the National Bureau {of Jurisdictional Awards, g i | the Operative Plasterers and Cement | | Finishers' Association all work “with | |artificial stone which is reinforced | | by burlap or other fibrous materials, |is being contested by the Bricklaye { Masons and_ Plasterers’ International Union, on the ground that the plas- | terers’ ficld of work is entirely deco- | rative and nog structural, regardies 'AIDS COLORED CHILDREN. | wiil | presented to those | his company. | England for workmen to be impris- STAR, WASHINGTON, Couple to Execute Deal in Property Andrew D.
