little more than a month ago.
Mathew Egan, one Of the marriage

when both gave the name OF Maori.
He questioned the man.
1T is for my brother, and his
babies" said Maori.
Mrs. Maori, small of stature. with
black hair and eyes of darkest
brown. nodded her head. repeated
the words of her brother-in-law and
husband-to-be, and burst into sobs.

Michael, he was so very sick. He

her by one hand. With his other

Macri's eyes became misty, while
the little woman wept silently.

Convinced that II was? Yet TO have

II Is said that more than 40 meet
ings were held between the attor-
neys Of both sides before the agree
ment was finally drafted In Its pres
ent shepe. and that more than a
month OF argument was necessary
TO con, ince the ID. u. r. attorneys
that the city would not yield further
points to them.
For instance. the city's attorneys
insisted that the judges OF the
Wayne circuit court. rather than the
circuit court itself, be named to Ak
the price. They feared that II the
matter was left simply to the cir.
cult court, the ID. U. r. would ask
that outside judges be brought In.
On at least one occasion when the
d. U. r. attorneys insisted on
point on which the city's counsel
would not yield. the city's lawyers
left the room. declaring that the ne
gotiation could 60 no further. The
anxiety of the ID. U. r. TO obtain
some rort of settlement was shown
by the fact that Its attorneys finally
gave way on all the points on which

Moreover. there could be no such

labor unions to picket during

The case In which the test is 10
be made Is that OF the Monarch Pat

and It's business agent, James A.
Spillane. The pattern makers OF the
Monarch factory went on strike. July
10, and the company obtained an in
junction restraining the strikers
from picketing. Because OF a flaw
in the Injunction. the company has
asked permission to file an amended
bill
Attorney Philip Gale, representing
the union, appeared In Judge Hos.
mers court, Saturday, to contest the
filing of a new bill. He maintains
that the Monarch Pattern works is
engaged in interstate business and
therefore, comes under the provi

passed by the last congress.
