WOULD CURTAIL
RIGHT TO ENJO|N
Bill introduced at Request of Ad-
ministration Limits Exercise
of Writ

a bin limiting the exercise of the
writ OF Injunction IN labor controversies
was introduced in the House yesterday
by Representative jenkins OF Wiscon-
sin, chairman OF the House judiciary
Committee The bin Il the result of a
White House conference Gwo months
ago
1fhe heads Of several important labor
organizations. Secretary Morton. Com
missioner of Corporations Ga-eeld and
II. r Fuller, legislative representative
of number Of labor organizations n
Washington. were present At this cor
ference the use Of the writ Of Injunction
by the Federal courts In labor disputes
was discussed at length.
Commissioner Garfield yesterday made
this explanation Of the proposed
measure:
The original statute of 1888 provided
that hearing should be had before the
issuance OF any extraordinary VIII
Equity rule No. 50 simply carried tndt
provision into effect In all Injunction
proceedings. Under the revision of the
Revised Statutes in 1872, the old law
was so changed as, in effect, 10 repeai
that part of equity rule NO. 90 requlf-
ing the giving of notice before granting
the temporary restraining order The
bill introduced by Representative
Jenkins restores that provision OF the
be given to the adverse party in all
labor cases before the writ may issue.
Its effect will be not to limit the right
OF injunction, but il Will prevent the I'M
provident granting of writs of injunction
by affordins the adverse party an OPP
portunity to be heard before action is
taken by the court.
The measure provides that immediate
notice shall be given to the adverse
roarty the time of the hearing TO be
within the discretion of the court. but
in all cases, to be as soon as possible.
Mr. Fuller said that the organizations
which he represents indorse the prin-
ciple embodied in the measure that both
parties should have notice of the pro-
ceeding in Injunction cases and an OPP
pcrtunity to be heard before an inJunc-
lion is issued, but as yet they had moi
considered thoroughly the phraseology
of the bill He could not say. therefore

COUNSEL FOR O'BR|EN
ARGUE UPON DEMURRER
They Contend That Indictment for
Embezzlement Was Not Drawn
Properly.

Argument on the demurrer 10 the in
dictment for embeZzlement returned
against John L. O'Brien, formerly a
clerk employed by Frank Hume, was
beard today by Justice Wright. in
Criminal Court No l.
O'Brien is accused of enbezzling about
50 900 of his employers money.
He left this jurisdiction and was ar
rested in San Francisco
Counsel for the defendant confer G
that the indictment is bad because of its
duplicity, the several counts describing
or attempting TO describe two different
kinds of embeZZlement instead of one
distinct offense, and because IL is other
wise vague and uncertain.
1t is also contended that the indict-
n.ent fails to charge an Offense- within
the meaning of section S3+, of the Dis
trict code because it does not describe
the property eTnbeZZied to have corae
into the possession of or under the care
of the defendant by virtue of his en-
ployment or Office.

DISTRICT VIOLATES
ANTI-ShOKE LAW
Black Cloud Emitted From Admins
tration Building for Over Five
Seconds on Monday.

If an emission of dense black sI::oke
for five seconds is d violation of the anti
smoke law, the District building trans
crossed on Monday of this week.
Smoke Inspector Wollard has made q
report of this violation of the law and
DR.. Woodward has transmitted the
statement to Commissioner Macfarland
The report resulted from charge
made by several persons convicted IN
Police Court of violations of the law,
who claimed that the District building
was constant offender. Commissioner
Macfarland, it is said, wished to ascer-
tain if this was true and accordingly
the smoke inspector was instructed TO
take particular notice of the Dlstrlct
building.
From 1850 to 2:15 p. m on January %,
the inspectors gaze was fixed on the
District chimneyS and at 1:20 his watch
fulness was rewarded, first by an ennis
sion of five seconds duration and then
by another lasting two seconds. In the
meantime Engineer Harry w. Pote was
shoyeling soft coal into the furnace as
fast as he could, confident that the trial
would result In complete vindication or
his plant. He thinks IL did.

are sheltered in cellars, and oftentimes
walled in. The houses, perhaps. have
storm doors and storm windows. yet the
