At this point the road scarcely de-

traction on either side OF the existing
grade, II is the supreme test OF any
motor car on the long trip.
In future, the tourist is to have no
cause to dread this particular section

TROUBLES |. IN COURT
Grain Trimmers Ask Judge To
Determine Which Union Has
Right to Hold Charter.

Suit to restrain persons claiming to
! be members of Local No. 913 from
acting under thu name of the Inter-
national Longshoremen's association
has ben started in district court by
rival Local No. 90, as 4 elimination
of the action of w. B. Jones, fifth
vice president of the I. L. A. and Sec
rotary of the Great Lakes district, in
granting charter to Local 913 after
Local 90 had already received a
charter from the parent body. Both
locals are composed of grain handlers.
! District Judge H. A. Dancer has
ordered the members of Local 913 to
show cause why they, should not be
enjoined from operating as members
of the I. L. A. Copies of summons

The complaint alleges that the
plaintiff organization was granted a
charter as Local 90 by the Internal
! tional Longshoremen's association
Feb. 1, 1916 and that the charter was
received and fees and dues paid as
prescribed by the rules of the associa-
ton. 1t is also set forth that the
! members of the plaintiff local have
always observed the rules of the gov
| erning body since.
Plaintiff further alleges that subse-
quent to the granting of the charter
to Local 90 the International Long
| shoremen's association illegally
granted a charter. to Local 913 which
has since styled itself as part, of
the International Longshoremcn's as

Interference Alleged.
The defendants are alleged to have
interfered with the work of the plain
tiff locals members. called them
scabs and threatened them with Phys
ical violence and the plaintiff asks
that the rival local be enjoined from
in any way mo.esting the members
of Local 90.
"Several members Of the freight
and lumber handlers locals with a
number Of others banded together
and formed the local which was
granted charter 913 last February by

sociation,''' said T. M. Robinson, presi-
dent, last night.
