rected the district court to issue an

is to establish the right of the Asso-
ciated Press and of every other news
gathering agency to enjoy the fruit of
its industry. expenditure and enter
prise. The injunction against the Sc
curing of our news by corruption of
employees and by surreptitious theft
required. of course, only proof that
these means were being employed,

tended that after Associated Press

be freely taken and sold in compeu-
ton with the Associated Press ana

cided that such n contention Is SUBJ
yersive OF fundamental Justice"
