ASKS FOR AN INJUNCTION.
More Litigation Between the Two
Electric Lighting Companies.

The war between the electric lighting
companies goes merrily en- and from the
turns taken yesterday it is hard to say
when the litigation will end. Justice Hag-
ner during the afternoon signed n decree
in keeping with his opinion announced on
Saturday in the case of the Potomac Pow
er Company against the United States
Electric Lighting Company perpetually re-
straining it from constructing new con-
duits under permits granted on applica-
tions to make repairs.
The ink on his signature. however, was
hardly dry when the United States COM
pany fled a petition for injunction against
the Potomac Power Company. the
Postal Gable Telegraph Company and the
District Commissioners, who are named
severally. seeking to restrain the first
named defendant from connecting its
wires with those of the second named in
its conduit in Fourteenth Street north
west. II is alleged in the petition that
the Postal Cable Company has a conduit
for its wires in Fourteenth Street, between
f Street and New York Avenue. and that
the Potomac Power Company has COM
menced making connections with these
wires for the purpose of serving electric
light TO patrons along that portion of
Fourteenth Street.
In fact, it is alleged that connections
for this purpose are being made with
premises No. COZ Fourteenth Street and
that permits for the lighting of the prem
ises have already been obtained from the
District Commissioners.
1t is understood that the Potomac Power
Company claims a part ownership in the
conduits of the cable company in Four
teenth Street, which nearly parallel the
conduits CT the United States Company in
that street.
Messrs. Lambert C Lambert attorneys
for the United States Electric Lighting
Company, appeared before Justice Brad
ley late yesterday afternoon and he grant
ed temporary restraining order to which
the defendants are required to make
answer On January IS next and show
cause, if they have any. why the order
shall net be made permanent

OF INTEREST TO LABOR.
Central Inion's Action In Regard to
Newspapers.

The Central Labor Union. at largely
attended meeting held last evening at
Typographical Temple, appointed a COM
mittee TO call upon the proprietors of
local newspapers for the purpose of sub
mitting TO them for consideration a propo-
sition 10 devote a certain amount of space.
in their respective papers, each week, to
the interests OF organized labor
This step was taken at the suggestion
of the managing editor of the Evening
Bulletin of san Francisco, Cal, a page OF
which paper is devoted every week to the
members of organized labor throughout
the country. The Bulletin, however,
adopted this plan at the suggestion of the
Pacific Union Printer, also published in
San Francisco, Cal.
Resolutions commencing Senator Gal
linger for his efforts in behalf of organized
labor in his connection with the appro-
priation for the street sweeping OF the
city, stpulating that the laborers shall
not be paid less than S1.25 per day, were
indOrsed.
The movement of the Wood Workers
Union of Baltimore, looking TO the estab-
lishment of nine-hour work day and
the doing away with the piecework sys-
TEN, was also Endorsed.
The committee appointed to wait upon
the proprietors OF the local newspapers is
composed of the following: n. C. Sprague,
VI. +. Spohn, a. S. Noten and X. H. Lewis.

Georgetown Market Considered.

GeOrSctOwn Market tOns1dereu.
In September last the District Commits
sioners received a complaint from the citi-
zens and property owners residing in the
vicinity of the Georgetown market to the
effect that the countrymen coming into
the city with their teams were obstructing
the sidewalk with their wares, and as the
sidewalks in question We're not of sufii-
cient width 10 permit the display, the Com
missioners were asked to transfer the
marketmen TO some other place.
The Commissioners found that there was
not place in the vicinity which could be
designated for this purpose and according
TO the opinion of Attorney for the Dis
trict Thomas they could not move the
market. Commissioner Beach suggested
that the streets be widened on the east
and west sides of the market. as this
would afford the farmers plenty of room
in which to display their wares. Estimates
for the widening of the streets were pre-
pared. and ii was found that il would cost
at least $500 to make the necessary i'm
provements. There is no money available
for this purpose, however, and the Commits
sioners are therefore powerless to give
the residents of the locality in question
the relief they ask.
In a letter addressed to the Board of
Commissioners yesterday Commissioner
Wight suggested that, as there is no other
way in which the work can be done that
the proper papers be prepared and the
cost of the widening of the sidewalks be
included in the deficiency estimates. The
Board of Commissioners will be asked TO
pass on this at its next meeting, and it Is
probable that il will act according to Com
missioner Wight's suggestion.

A FAVORABLE REPORT.
Commissioners Approve of the New
Hampshire Avenue Extension.

commissioners Approve of the New
Hampshire Avenue Extension.
The Commissioners yesterday made a
favorable report on the bill now before
Congress TO extend New Hampshire Avenue
from Whitney Avenue 10 point where
Brightwood Avenue meets the Rock Creek
Road. The report as sent to Chairman
Babcock, of the District Committee of
the House. is as follows:
The bill proposes 10 extend New Hampshire
Ayenue from Whitney Avenue 10 Brightwood
Avenue Seventh Street Road. SO as 10 make
proongation or extension of the avenue as
now laid out through Pctworth. \ plat show
ing the entension in question is inclosed here
with, showing the lots which will be taken or
affected by the extension. and giving upon each
tract the value of the land in question as close
ly as il can be ascertained by the Commission
ers at the present time. From this il will be
seen that the total value Of the land taken Is
estimated at a little over 81. 900; the improve
mcnts existing upon the estimated
at about $4,000 making the cost OF acquiring
the land probably between $1,000 and sss,000.
The grading and macadamiZing Of the street viii
cost about s7,0o0.
1t is believed to he sound public policy TO
require the extension oi the main streets and
avenues Of the District. This extension could
be made at the present time at comparatively
little cost. and there are practically no improve
mcnts in the line of the street. In a few years
it is probable that the cost would be greatly in
creased. as this section is rapidly developing,
and the price Of land VIII not only be higher.
but it Is more than probable that many improve
ments Will then exist in the line Of the proposed
extension To open the street as proposed would
give very desirable improvement, which Will
be Of advantage 10 this entire section and TO
the District in general.
Lines s and 9. page !. Of the bill, state that
the extension shall he '.ot the same width OF
said avenue as now established in the city of
Washington" This j. a width of I3O feet. The
avenue has been opened through Petworth for
width of l2O feet and it is recommended that
the words 'city of Washington quoted above,
he stricken out. and in lieu thereof the words
subdivision Of rctwnrth.' be inserted.
