INJUNCTION SUIT

tiff during such time without the con-
sent Of the plaintiff and from aiding
and abetting such leaving.
In its complaint the company de-
clares that in the conduct of its bust
ness it needs and employs over TWEEN
ty-three hundred laborers, who are re-
quired to prepare and plant the crops,
! keep them irrigated and clear Of
weeds, cut the crops when ripe and
load them on cars for transmission 20
the mill, etc, and that failure to wa
ter the cane upon the plantation for
thirty consecutive days would involve
a loss of approximately one hundred
thousand dollars.
Defendants arrival in the Territory
is related with details, and it is com
planned that he has already recruited,
for employment in the fish canneries
scale, and on such information alleges
Ricans and Filipinos brought to this
Territory by complainant and other
sugar corporations and individuals en-
gagged in the sugar business at large
expense, of which more than twenty
laborers were at the time of such re-

of three years from the respective

so recruited and taken away in March

1t is alleged that the purported IL
cense as an emigrant agent under the
law Of 1905 by Craig is void, therefore
1t is urged that he is not entitled to
the benefit of the exception in the law
