NO REDRESS FROM BLASTS
Court Denies Application for Injunc
tion Restraining Contractors.

Justice Blanchard denied yesterday an
application for an injunction made by Ed
ward Margolies. lessee of the buildings at
Nos 10, a and IS West 3ith street. against
the Greeley Square Hotel Company and the
Thompson-S tarrett Company restraining
them from continuing he work of erecting
the hotel which adjoins the property of the
plaintiff.
Margolies complained that the blasting
for the hotel structure which is being done
by the Degnon Contracting Company had
damaged his walls and made the building
unsafe. The plaintiff also asserted that the
noise and the vibrations had driven his
tenants out Of the buildings.
Among these tenants, he said. were
George Bronson Howard. a playwright and
Professor Rohrer, who decided that things
were getting too strenuous even for his
physical culture school.
Margolies said that soda fountain was
missing from, the luncheon room. but the
defendants insisted that none Of their peo-
pie had seen any fountain there. Then.
too 1t was alleged that on one of the floors
occupied by James F. Boyer a dealer in
musical instruments, the Earring from the
blasts had knocked instruments over. and
that the vibration was so strong that II
had been found necessary 10 move out the
pianos.
Margolies declared, too. that he had been
hit on the head by piece of iron that was
sent skyward by one of the blasts.

The case has been in the courts since

American Anti Boycott Association and
the American Federation Of Labor The
history OF the case goes back to 1901,
when the union hatters employed by d.

brought in 1903 against Martin Lawlor

first brought to the United States Dis.

Fairfield County. Conn. but was not
tried there. being taken to the Supreme
Court Of the United States on the ques-

down a decision in February. 1908. that
the allegation constituted violation Of
the law, and in October. 1903. the case
was begun. in the United States Circuit
Court at Hartford where the trial lasted
three months, with the result which has
just been reversed.
