The decisive engagement today was
bitter one, the attorneys for Mr.. Green
hut trying hard to be made parties of

denied by the Court yesterday. but they
renewed 1t to-day IN a more formal man

Court they did not think their clients were
getting justice. 1t being denied the

ants in the original cause.
Mr. Walker said he hoped the Court

organization.
In reply 10 the insinuations that the
Court was partial, Judge Moran declared

obstruct the business OF the court. and
still more outrageous that counsel should
attempt TO coerce TIE Court into grant
ing them the right 10 stop the work Of re-
organization by taking an appeal which
would require two years at least 10 de-
eide.
