STRAW HlTT[Rs WIN
/ IN UNUSUAL VICTORY
Justice of New York Supreme
! Court Dissolves Injunction
Against Strikers.
Which Formerly Enjoined Mem
bers Of the Union From Doing
Picket Duty.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Straw
Hatters' union. now conducting q
strike against reduction in wages.
has won ar rare victory. A decision
was given in favor Of the union by
a justice Of the supreme court.
Injunction Set Aside.
Justice Truax mas set aside AMI
vacated an Injunction that had been
the strikers from doing picket duty
near the place of s. Mundheim g
company, on Flushing and Carlton
aventes, Brooklyn, a struck firm. The
injunction was issued on Oceober q
and proved a hindrance to the success
of the strike. - Ia.
s. Mundheim, the owner Of the
firm, is the PRESIDENT of the National
Hat manufacturers and is conducting
the fight against the union with great
vigor. The vacation Of the injunc-
tion is considered the more import
ant for this reason and the union
regards it with great appreciation.
both for it's significance and its rarity.
Louis Widman, secretary Of the
union, speaking on Justice Truax's de-
cision said: FIGS
Think Of it, justice was found
who actually gave decision in favor
Of labor. cannot think of anything
more startling It certainly should
be an important news matter, judg-
ing by the rarity with which decisions
favorable to unions are rendered"
This, it is believed, will give a
new phase to the situation. Mr.. Wid-zz
man explained that the union is
strong and determined.
"The strike does not involve many =
ne said 'tOnly 16 men are out IN
that shop and 331 girls quit work In,
sympathy with the strikers. But the
position of the flr1n and the hostile.
attitude of the owner makes the strike
a very important one. We are sure.
Of success, however, as the strikers
are employed elsewhere and we can
wait" 81 s ss<ssSss . - ss@

FIGHT FOR PURE FOOD
SOON TO BE REOPENED
Convention of State and National Dairy Departments
Which viii Be Held in Denver, Expected 10 Again
Take Up Benzoate of Soda Question,

on the strength of this report the Ma
tional Food Commission. composed Of
Secretaries Wilson, Strauss, and Cortel-
you, ruled that manufacturers could use
limited quantities Of benzoate of soda
provided they stated on their labels the
percentage used
This decision aroused the antagonism
of the heads of food and health depart
nents Of the various States, many Of
which have laws prohibiting the use Of
beHzoate as a preservative. and a com
mittee of eleven members of the asso-
citation has been making an inYestiga-
ton and preparing report to be SUD-
mitted to the Denver convention.
It is believed the report will sustain
the contentious of d.. Wiley and Op-
pose the findings of the Remsen board
DR.. Wiley plans to attend the meeting
and to fight for a vindicaton OF his rul-
Ing that benzoate be prohibited. Mem
bers of the Remsen board also viii be
present TO oppose the arguments ad-
vanCed by the Government s chemist.
President Taft has already been ap-
pealed to 70 use his influence to have
benzoate of soda barred as a preserva-
tive. and it Is probable that the Food
Commission viii reverse itself il the
convention again goes on record In oppo-
sitiOn to it.

"Tn fourteen States" declares Mr.
Terry. the statutes do not prohibit
the enactment Of further registration
and licensing restrictions upon the use
OF motor vehicles by local authorities
In at least three States local author
tiles are expressly authorized TO ex-
clude motor vehicles from their roads
in various sections Of the State

authorized by State law 70 impose ad-
ditiOnal restrictions
In nine States a license TO operate
Is required in addition to registration OF

Quirement is annual"
Mr.. Terry also points out that in the
matter OF speed and road rules the mo-
tOrist Is subject TO even more divergent
laws. In most States he is subject
still further 10 additional restrictions
imposed by local authorities.
The speed limitations range" he
SAYS, from four 10 twenty-five miles an

Second only in Importance to the row
which is now engaging the attention
Of Secretary BaliiHger, of the Interior
Department, and Clifford Pinchot, chief
forester. will be the struggle in the
interests of pure food waged by Govern
ment officials. Il is expected that at
the annual convention Of the Associa-
ton of State and National Dairy and
Food Departments, to be held at Den
yer during the week of August a, a
definite decision viii be reached as to
what future course should be pursued
by the Federal experts.
The tight will revolve around benzoa te
of soda. This chemical preservative
was originally condemned by the Board
of Food and Drug Inspection, and its
use was prohibited following extensive
experiments by DR.. Harvey ". Wiley
chief chemist OF the Department Of
Agriculture. The food manufacturers
using benzoate OF soda took an appeal
and the matter was referred TO the
Remsen board, which reported after a
brief investigation that healthy persons
could eat. without injury, food contain
ing small amounts OF henzoate.
