KENNEDY TAKES MORE TIME
Court Defers Action on Injunction
Against Printers TO Consider
Bawyerr' Points.

Judge kennedy of the equity court lis
tened TO affidavits Wednesday morning in
the injunction case against members OF the
local Typographical union. The hearing
was of a formal nature on the application
Of the Typothetae for a temporary injunc-
ton TO supplant the restraining order issued
by Judge Sears. At the close of the hear
ing Judge Kennedy took the matter under
advisement. saying he wished to look UP
some authorities cited by the attorneys.
w. J. Connell. attorney for the union,
was absent, being engaged in a case in fed
eral court. and the defendants case was
presented by w. P. Thomas. Mr.. Thomas
called the attention OF the court to the fact
that one or two of the defendants named
In the petition were in business for them
selves and in view of this ne asked that
the bond OF the plaintiffs be increased from
$500 TO $1,000, which was consented 70 by the
plaintiffs.
The matter of the use OF green ''stickers'
or labels by the defendants in branding
nonunion goods as such, which was prohib-
tied in the restraining order, was not COW
cred in the affldavits presented by the
plaintiffs and, it is said, may not be in
cluded In the temporary injunction should
one be issued.
J. A. c. Kennedy. who represented the
employers, said he had not secured any
proof on this point. He read to the court
| twenty-seven affidavits from nonunion
printers and employers in support Of the
| allegations OF the petition. 1t was alleged
In one of the affidavits that at least -four
nonunion workmen had been assaulted and
! that attempts had been made to intimidate
others. Other allegations were TO the effect
that the striking printers passed cards &c
| the strike breakers and accosted them or
