LABOR UNION FIGHTS That the railroad Examiner Waterman Lyon Contends Very Existense of Unionism Depends Upon Decision on A. L. Reed Co. Case. New York, Feb. 27—Claiming that if the courts uphold the injunction labor union membership, ‘‘hereafter can be construed as conspiracy.” Union leaders are today fighting the plea of the A. L. Reed company, leather goods manufacturers, that a temporary restraining order be made permanent. The case, up for hearing before Supreme Court Justice Callag- han, is directed against the fancy leather goods workers' union. The company last August, after withdrawing from an association which had made an agreement with the defendant union, is alleged to have engaged workmen on the condi- tion that they did not become mem- bers of a union. In September a temporary injunction was granted the company, restraining unionists from picketing and othrewise annoying the company. It is this injunction the Reed company now seeks to have made permanent, Labor representatives seek to have removed from court records the in- dictment of union labor bodies con- tained i the temporary injunction order.

COMPANY IS WAITING FOR NETS One Man Trolleys Will Not Be Oper- ated Here For At Least Two More Weeks Due to the fact that new wire mesh nets to be placed over the trolley wires at the Main street railroad crossing have not arrived in town, the one man trolley cars will not he ready for operation on the city lines by March 1 as was expected. C. . Beardsley, the local superin- tendent of the Connecticut company, stated this afternoon that the nets had been placed over the wires at the Chestnut street railroad crossing but those for the Main street lines had not arrived. The nets in question are those which will allow the trolley cars to proceed across the railroad tracks without one member of the crew flagging at these points. If the trolley pole should in way come off the wire it will slip into the net and as the net is of copper, it will furnish power for the car to continue across the tracks. Mr. Beardsley was in hopes that the nets would be here shortly and the cars in operation by the middle of the month. MARTINS SOLD AGMN Thomas W.
