tactics on their particular arm, and
imbued with an esprie de corps hat
gives the lie to any rumors that the
men did not tax any too kindly to
military life.
In startling contrast to the youths
who sped northward from their peace
time pursuits, these men presented an
imposing spectacle in today's big re-
view. In various mass formations,
they swung by the reviewing stand
with the smartness only real soldiers
can acquire. Their bodies showing the

of the same organization have each sued
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company for $4,000 damages because

company refused to recognize this union
because its officers were "law-breakers."
The company locked out its employees
several weeks ago when they refused to
sign individual contracts, and has i'm

strike-breakers. In the company's cam

that its abuse is unbearable. He said
there was an adequate remedy at law
to right any supposed wrong in which
an Injunction will lie.
