statement with the assertion that a
course OF action had not been def
initely determined. Donald r. Rich

crafts, indicated today that the next
step in the shopmen's fight against the
Daugherty injunction would be a petit
ton to the United States circuit court
of appeals for review of Judge

review of this case by the circuit court
of appeals"
