ance under the auspices of the Central

William Temple, pastor of ST. Eliza

Because Of the prominence in the
injunction difficulty, Mr.. Morrison's
address was Of more than ordinary in

appeal against Judge Wright's decision
would be pursued to the highest court

Speaks on the Injunction.
Treating Of the injunction. Mr.. Nor
rison said:
What is there about the Injunction
TO which labor organizations object,
want to call your attention TO the
very important objection. Under the
constitution and laws Of this countr,
you have the right to go to non-union
lists and persuade them to Join YOU

securing improved conditions. Their
is not a law on the statutes. nor a pro
vision in the constitution. that vii
deny YOU that right. Yet trade union
lists are denied that right every day
and how2 I will explain. When Their
is a strike. the employer endeavors 4
secure some weapon whereby he ma.
intimidate the members Of organizes
i~bor. He secures an injunction
avering, as all do. that if the writ
not issued. irreparable damage viii re

"The Injunction makes new law NoN
let me explain why the injunctio
makes new law. A single judge ma
prohibit what no Congress and n

this prohibition by a writ Of injunctio

Mr.. HHLES DECIDES
NOT TO 90 UPON BENCH

among lawyers recently as to the per-
sonnel Of the new judiciary. and the
opinion seems to be that Judge James
Pennewill will be appointed Chief
Justice. and that Judge William II.
Boyce will be reappointed either as
resident judge Of Kent or Sussex
county.
For resident Judge Of New Castle
county Frank L. Speakman, former
prothontary. is most prominently mem
toned, and the name of former Secre-
tary of state Joseph l.. Cahall Is mem
toned prominently for resident judge
Of either Kent or Sussex. Mr.. Cahall
was a resident of Georgetown before he
removed temporarily to Dover for con-
venience TO his Office during his term
as Secretary of state.
For Chancellor the names OF Herbert
II. Ward. Robert II. Richards and
Charles NJ. Curtis are prominently
mentioned but il is said on very good
authority that Mr.. Ward and MT
Richards have no judicial aspirations
There is q sentiment that Mr. GURUS
will be appointed Chancellor.
For Judge at large the names nnos'
prominently spoken of are Victor B
Woolley, William T. Lyman and Alex
ander Nj. DAILY Of this city and Charles
NJ. Cullen Of Georgetown. The opinion
seems 10 be that either Mr.. Lyman oi
Mr.. Woolley win be named.
Governor Pennewill has been reticeni
| all along regarding the prospective ap
/ pointment of the judiciary, but II II
I known that lie is giving the matter th'
: deepest thought in his endeavor Z
maintain the high standard Of thu
judiciary. He spoke of this subject il
] his inaugural message.
