Court too day denied the petition of the

union who sought restoration to the
positions from which they were re-
moved by Commissioner Curtis for af-
fiation with the American Federation
Of Labor
The court acted on the request Of
the former policemen, headed by Presi-
dent John +. McInnis Of the union, for
a writ Of manGamus to compel the COM
missioner 10 restore them. Judge Car
roll held that they we're not entitled
TO reinstatement because they had
failed to avail themselves Of remedies
contained in the antl-cocrcjon act.
It was the suspension of the nineteen
officers of the union Ivy Commissioner

police department was invalid and un-
reasonab Bile. Herbert Parker. former
Attorney General, who represented the
commissioner, said that the sole pur-
pose of the rule was to prevent police
men joining the American Federation
of Labor.
The only witness called was Frank
H. Mccarthy. New England organizer
for the A. f. of L.. who told the pur-
poses of the federation which. he said
had no power TO order strike, and did
not favor sympathetic strikes. Re
plying to a question by Mr. Parker
the organizer said there was nothing
in the constitution of the federation to
prevent a local union from declaring
a strike.
Commissioner Curtis, through coun-
sci, contended that the petitioners had
no standing in court because they werc
not members of the police force when
they filed their petition. They failed
he said. to take advantage Of their
right TO demand review of the com
missioners action under the anti

Said Hope to Jetho, Nothing do- ing in that line. We break the cars when we were sent out to bring their wounded from the battIefields.' The two Americans sealed the verbal con- tract. For four days the Germans suffered lC sses in the automobile sec ton and the Americans were ordered to devote their time at a motorcycle epair section, situated six miles back of tho lines. All motorcycles suffered painfully from the two busy Ameri- cans, who were often congratulated by the enemy for their earnestness in the work.
 MT. Hope then made rapid progress in all capacities of labor. He was male a gasoline tank repairer, jug gler, gardener, mechanic, road builder and finally graduated as a cook.
 In this capacity he labored for hours every day preparing the soup which consisted of Cabba Ge, sour lIraut, oats and rice For breakfa st they had coffee and for supper they had more coffee, made up of roasted and dried barley. Yet the Germans surprised him to a great extent. Tn the town of Ham the Germans were surprisingly sociabIe and showed a great deal of interest in us. Some of them had been in the United | states ana COuld converse III llI6 l American tongue and often talked to | us, explaining how useless it was for us to fight when they meant to con l quer the entire Allied army within very short time.'' said MT. Hope. | Finally. we were sent to Strasshurg i &here great numbers of prisoners of | all nationaIfties were brought. Here
 we tasted the worst periods of pris- on life. On September 20, we were | transferred to Rastatt where the
 American prisoners were met by

 The police arranged to carry out the instructions according to the de- mands. Detective Salmon was detail ed to impersonate MT. Lashar and Detectives Curry, Seery, Bray, Gar rity and Burnes were secretly station ed on Bruce avenue in the neighbor- hood of the nailbox. As directed, Salmon, operating the Lashar auto- mobile, proceeded up Spruce street from Stratford avenue. On reaching Barnum avenue, he turned the car and proceeded back as far as North street where he alighted, found the mail box as described in the letter and dropped into the box the decoy package.
 As the bIackhanders insisted that MT. Lashar go directly home after depositing his ransom, place a light in his front window and stand in a position in the house where he could be seen from the street, Salmon did as directed.
 After the package had been de- posted in the mail box the detectives hidden behind trees and fences did not have long to wait for results Lyd- thicker came down the road, looked at the mail box and disappeared into an open lot. A few minutes later Haggerty left his home across the street and went directly to the mai box
