served with the injunction but had gone on with
the Montana contempt proceedings. with the result
that the Youngstown company adjudged In con-
tempt and fined
The litigation IS part OF the general fight between

Of success rest on radical platform and the

may &c said that the platform IS the occasion OF
anxiety to the leaders While II IS not feared

OF the delegates Will arrive stained with one or

Of making Senator German. whose Maryland tariff
