Cision against the union boycott yet made here

Superior Court, in the case OF Goldberg, Bowen

PCkets from the union carried placards and

cause the firm refused TO discharge non union

views the law in the case. and declares that
any organization of workngmen is illegal that

plans and said he ready to meet the terms
set by the board, He estimated that the tunnel
would accommodate about forty million passen-
gers from New-Jersey annually
Paul D. Cravath, of counsel for the New-York
City Railway system, protested against Mr. Nc
Adoo's plan on the ground that it would work
an injustice to the existing surface lines, and
would not serve NeW-Jersey residents any bet
ter than they are now served.
He argued that the construction of the jersey
tunnel would interiors with any extension of
the present subway system and would specially
work injustice TO intending bidders for the pro-
posed new subway. He asserted that SiXth-aVe
was already cohgested, and that tunnel which
PROVIDED no croSStOWn facilities could be of no
adequate value to visitors from New-Jersey.
The plan, ne admitted in reply to a question
from Commissioned Smith, would materially
