ASKS INJUNCTION TO STOP
 DISCJ0SING BUSINESS SECRETS


 An injunction to prevent George Green law cf Norwich from disclosing business secrets and confidential information in his hands as an employe of Sherman Service, Inc, of Boston, is sought by the Sherman Service in suit that has just been filed in the superior court here.
 The business of the Sherman Service is descT bed as industrial conciliation, har- 1noniza tior, educational and efficiency business looking to the protection of it's clients ald their workers from the ex- picitation of professional agitators and trouble makers, thereby preventing un- necessary and costly strikes. The complaint alleges that MT. Green law las gone into the employ of certain client of the Sherman Service, contrary to the claims of his contract, and the Service has information that Mir Green law threatens to disclose forthwith and prior to Dec. 26, 1920, to persons other than those designated by the plaintiff, in- formation acquired by him concerning the Sherman Service, contrary to the terms of his GIT D oyment agreement.
 l it is claimed that it is impossible to determine how much damage such dis close of confidential information would do the Sherman Service and that the de- l fendant is unable te~ respond to any money judgment which might be secured against him, even if the money value could be aseertained.
 1 The temporary injunction is sought to ! restrain MT. Greenlaw prior to Dec 26 1920, from disclosing confidential business secrets to any person other than the 1 plaintiff or persons designated by the plaintiff; from diverting or attempting tc 1 take away any clients of the plaintiff
 from divulging the names of clients from seeking employment with or con tinuing in the employment of any client of the Sherman Service, and particularly from entering, continuing with or seek. | ing employment with certain client cor. poratien of the Sherman Service. The name of this certain corporation
 Is not mentioned in the legal papers ir 1 the case.

 The Dixie Duo. Sissle and Blake, two colored boys, who picked up their feature stunt overseas while fighting for Uncle Sam, have an act that appeals. Their feature is an interpretation of Jim Flu ropes piece, Fighting In No Mans Land, by MT. Sissle.
 Stevens and Lovejoy have a whirlwind dancing act that scored heavily Thursday evening. The perfect rhythm with which the two dance is remarkable. MT. Stevens has unique way of introducing his numbers in rhyme.
 Frank Franc with his cello proved tc be an accomplished musician. To bs frank with MT Frank, we can frankly say that his comedy does not add to hi. | act. Norwich people would rather heal
 the rich tones of his cello without hi. side remarks and attempted comedy The feature motion picture is Judy O Rogue's Harbor, with Mary Miles Minte, l in the leading role.

It is launched and controlled exclusively by 30 denomina- tions. Many sincere honest and reverent people in all denominations are seriously questfc.=4sng the methods, motives and purposes of the leaders of this move ment. Will these methods make for de- mocracy and brotherhood in the world? A special feature of the evening will be 1 music furnished by male voices. 4 i double quartet from the Bass Clef, will sing and a few numbers will be render ed by the young people of the church.
