MUST RELEASE CAR
Pullman Seized for Containing A. legged Liquor, Ordered Let Go-POr- ter Had Liquor.

Washington, Feb 27, - Attorney General Daugherty has instructed federal authorities at Boise, Idaho, to release a pullman car seized there by prohibition enforcement officials, it was said today at the department of justice
 The case, which is the first involv- ing the seizure of a railway car for violation of the prohibition act, off cias said, resulted from discovery by prohibition authorities of liquor on board in possession of the porter. It was held, however. that the possess sion of liquor by an individual on q railway carriage was not sufficient to warrant seizure of the vehicle as such procedure carried to any considerable extent might result in seriously impeding transportation facilities throughout the country.

LABOR UNION FIGHTS
Contends That Very Existense of Unionism Depends Upon Decision on A. l.. Reed Co. Case.

New York, Feb. 27-Claiming that if the courts uphold the injunction labor union membership, hereafter can be construed as conspiracy Union leaders are today fighting the plea of the A. L. Reed company leather goods manufacturers, that a temporary restraining order be made permanent. The case, up for hearing before Supreme Court Justice Callag han, is directed against the fancy leather goods workers union.
 The company last August after withdrawing from an association which had made an agreement with the defendant union, is alleged to have engaged workmen on the condi- tion that they did not become mem bers of union. In September injunction was granted the company, restraining unionists from picketng and otherwise annoying the pany. It is this injunction the Reed company now seeks to have made permanent
 Labor representatives seek to have removed from court records the in- dictment of union labor bodies con- tained in the temporary injunction order.

CONN. COMPANY IS
 WAITING FOR NETS
One Man Trolleys Will Not Be Opcr- ated Here For At Least Two
 More Weeks

Due to the fact that new wire mesh nets to be placed over the trolley wires at the Main street railroad crossing have not arrived in town, the one man trolley cars will not be ready for operation on the city lines by March 1 as was expected.
 c. F. Beardsley, the local superin- tendent of the Connecticut company, stated this afternoon that the nets had been placed over the wires at the Chestnut street railroad crossing but those for the Main street lines had not arrived. The nets in question are those which will allow the trolley cars to proceed across the railroad tracks without one member of the crew f1agging at these points.
 If the trolley pole should in any way come off the wire it will slip into the net and as the net is of copper it will furnish power for the car to continue across the tracks. Mr. Beardsley was in hopes that the nets would be here shortly and the cars in operation by the middle of the month.
