in the United States court for the east
ern district of Wisconsin. at least until
the opposite side of the case has had an
opportunity for a hearing, according to
nm official prOnunciamento of Judge T.

Judge Quarlcs said that hereafter he
would issue no more injunctions upon

shall be warned Of the application and
have an opportunity to present his side
OF the case before a restraining order
is issued by the branch of the. United
States court over which he presldes.
This decision was arrived at by Judge
Quarles as a result of a recent expert
ence. Acting on a statement of facts
rs presented by Il petitioner, the court
granted an injunction and restraining
order as prayed for. After the restrain
ing order had been issued, the defend-
ant appeared before the court and pre-
scented it's side of the case, and this re-
suited in &: modification Of the iniunc-
ton, preserving the present status of
The case until the issues shall have been
determined in court.
Judge Quarles himself characterize;
his action as being all extreme DEPART
ure from the accepted practice in
United States courts, but said that he
had long pOndered the step before ar
irving at a decision.
This is regarded locally as q fittina
