report on my effort to become a dele

and sensible editor will put the state

counties outside of Cook County. My
pilgrimage has covered Illinois from
Cairo at the South end almost to Free
port at the North and back and forth
across the state from East to West.

of population.
There can be no doubt about a ris-

MUTUAL SUES CUFF
In Endeavor to Prevent His Working
for Another Laundry.

Lester Cuff quit work for the Mu-
tua1 Laundry company and went to
work for the College Hill laundry to-
day. The Mutual has brought suit in
the district court to enjoin him from
working for the College Hill or any
other laundry in Topeka for a period
of one year. The plaintiff asks for a
temporary Injunction to operate until
the case can come to trial on the re-
quest for a permanent Injunction.
If the temporary order is granted
Cuff will have a job at which he can
not work. If the permanent injunc-
ton is granted he cannot work at the
laundry business in Topeka for a year,
unless he works for the Mutual, and
the filing of the suit indicates that
tua1 are rot such as to make that
probable.
The suit is based upon an alleged
contract entered into between Cuff
and the laundry. The petition states
that because of the stiff competition
between laundries III Topeka the Mu-
tual some time ago required all of its
employees to sign agreements or con-
tracts binding both the laundry and
the employees.
A copy Of the Cuff Mutual contract
is made part of the petition. In it, il
is set forth that for a period of one
year Cuff is not to enter the employ
of any other laundry in Topeka or tc
go into the laundry business for him.
