Collins. II went to see him Tuesday

to put screen over some of the

the walls of the kitchen that you
could scrape 1t of with your fingers,

WOMAN LOSES HER
INJUNCTION SUIT
Court Holds She Can Be Prose.
cuted Under Employment
Agency Act

The suit brought by Mrs. Martha L.
Watt. Of No. SO Garfield-ave.. for an
injunction to restrain State Labor
Commissioner James ", Cunningham
from bringing criminal prosecution
against her for failure to comply with
the provisions OF the new law govern
ing employment agencies, was dis
missed by Judge Mandell. Wednesday,
after a purely legal argument that did
not touch the merits of Mrs. Watts
tight against the act or the question
OF Its constitutionality.
The court held that the first point
to be settled was whether a court OF
equity had a right to interfere with a
criminal prosecution of this sort, and
II SO, whether under the circum-
stances the interference would be war
ranted. Judge Mandell found that
Mrs. Watts interest were not being
injured In any way that would justify
the issuance OF the injunction. and SO
ruled with David Fl. Crowley, assist
ant attorney-general. who represented
the commissioner in the hearing.
Mrs. Watt, who runs an agency in
her home for the supplying Of domes-
TIC help, was complained against BY
the department three weeks ago for
not paying the 500 fee required by
he law or furnishing the required
bond of $1,000.
She objects to meeting these condi-
tions for the operation Of semi
private business. She was arrested
Md re,eased on her own recognjzance
to appear for hearing In the record
ers court. When the case comes up
there 1t probably will go on TO the
