PRESSMEWS UNION ENJoINED
United states Judge Holds Body Has
Valid Contract with United
TypOthetRe.

CINCINNATI, Oct. a.-The temporary
Injunction against the melting OF a strike
by the International Pressmen's union for
an eight-hour day was made permanent to-
day by United States Judge Thompson,
who held that such action on the part of
the union officers would be a breaking of
valid contract.
The injunction was sought by the United
Typothetae Of America and certain publish
ing concerns I'm New York. Chicago, st.
Louis and Massachusetts TO prevent the
defendants, officers and members OF the
Pressmen's union from melting and carry
ing on a strike. which was in effect the

into effect, but the union had demanded the
immediate acceptance OF the eight-hour day

diction and the complainants moved to
amend the petition in certain respects to
eliminate parties not indispensable to the
suit, which motion was sustained today
the court holding that It had Jurisdiction in
the case. That the demand by the inter-

enjoined from striking.
One Of the points sought by the petition
was to enjoin the paying of strike bene
Ats. The attorneys for the union pleaded
for the benenciaries Of the strike fund.

the injunction as issued forblds the pay
ment Of strike benefits or any action by

DODGE ON MEMORIAL LOCATION
General Gives History Of BOca-
tion of the Grant
statue.

Relative to the controversy in wash
ington over the location OF the Grant
memorial, General Grenville NJ. Dodge OF
Council Bluffs has made this statement;
THE original plan was to build the
Grant memorial in the north part OF the
large circular field south Of the White
house and the successful artists model
was made to NJ that location. Objection
from the government and others decided
the commission TO select another location
and 1t finally was decided that the Botanic
gardens was the only place in the city
fitted for the memorial, and congress con-
irmed this location.
1.-THE memorial is the most important
work of sculpture in the District OF Colum-
bia and its location in relation to the
Capitol and mall is one Of the most com
manding character and greatest dignity.
The memorial Is 3S2 feet in its longest axis,
slxty-eight feet in its shortest. Upon one
end is a charge OF cavalry, on the other
end is a battery going into action and In
the center an equestrian statue of Grant
upon a suitable pedestal. The platform Is
Of marble four and a half feet high and
intended for a reviewing stand.
''The committee of experts fixing the
location I'm the Botanic gardens selected
the center of the grand approach to the
great mall or avenue reaching from the
Capitol to the Washington monument, as
planned by the art commission to conform
TO the original l. L'Enfant plan, I'm which
the site of the Botanical garden Is set
down as an ornamented square, forming
suitable approach TO the Capitol from
the west.
'"The government in its public improve
ments has located the new Agricultural
and National Museum buildings to con-
form to the art commissions plans. 1t has
also lately spent millions In a new rail-
way station In order to remove the rail-
way tracks from the proposed mall
I'VE have spent long time and en-
ployed the most distinguished landscape
architects and artists i'm fitting the me-
mortal to the location. which was selected
nearly two years ago and the memorial
has been staked out on these grounds more
than year. and It is a remarkable fact
that no one discovered these trees or made
them known to us until all the preliminary
work was done and we commenced dig
ging the foundation.
''The fact that Secretary Taft and my
self were absent from Washington pre-
vented our acting upon the protests as a
| commission and we suspended the work
until we could have time to fully investi-
/ gate the matter
