"There was never anything that

and then again when Senator Norris
attacked Mclean in the senate. Nor

JUDGE ISSUES
LABOR GAGS
ON D ( M AN D
Bosses Have Friend In
Denis Sullivan

Injunction King Denis Sullivan
doesn't want any mere circuit Judge
TO interfere with his business of TAX
ing poke at union labor by issuing
injunctions. That was revealed yes
terday when Judge Sullivan, who is
robed In all the majesty of q supe-
rior court Judge issued an injunction
against the Joint Board of the In
ternational Ladies Garment Workers
Union on behalf Of the Francine
Frock company in spite of the fact
that they already have an Injunction.
The old injunction was issued several
months ago by the circuit court while
the union was trying to organize the
workers in the Francine shop.
Peter Sissman, attorney for the un-
ion, pointed out to the court that
there was already an injunction al
most exactly duplicating the one be-
ing applied for issued for the Fran
cine company. IF the court please,
there is already an injunction which
this complainant has taken out
against exactly the same people.
There is no reason in the world for
having two injunctions. It would be
very Irregular" he said.
Sullivan admitted that there might
be something in the argument of Siss-
man but he signed on the dotted line
and on motion by Sissman to dis
solve the injunction set it on the con-
tested motion calendar. It may be
weeks before it will be possible for
the union thru its lawyers to tell the
unions side of the story.

BANKRUPTCY

FRANC DROPS
POinCar8 Wildly Clutches At
Currency Initiation

Especial 70 Inc DAILY WorEaEl
LONDON, March 7.-Charg-
ing the Banque de France with
entering upon a policy of cur
rency infiation," the Manches-
ter Guardian today declares So
luton of the PREPARATIONS prob
lem is the only means to save
the French franc from ultimate
dissolution.
The franc opened at an un-
precedented low of 1895 to
the pound sterling, approx
mately $50 cents.
1888 to Dollar.
PARIS, March 7.-At 2:30 D. m.
the franc was at the unprecedented
low of 1898 to the dollar.
Premier Poincare announced he
would explain in the chamber the fall
of the franc and the reasons for in
creased circulation Of Banque de
France notes.
Apparently obeying instructions
from the Government, the French
newspapers refrained today from
commenting on the latest record of
the franc to unprecedented low
Levels.
Opening at 25.40 to the dollar, the
franc gave no early evidence Of re-
covery from its weak position.
Premier Poincare attributes the
financial situation TO hesitancy Of the
Senate in approving his program Of
fiscal reform.
The Echo de Paris says the premier
sent note to the Senate committee
which is considering the financial
measures proposed by the govern
ment, saying:
Hints at Dictatorship.
Frances enemies have placed
their hopes in the Senate's hostility.
Therefore / will not permit obstruc-
ton to the governments program in
any form"
Senator Bernager, however, insists
the crisis is due to treasury shortage.
The Banque de France issued $780,
100000 in bank notes since the first
Of the year.
Moreover" says the Senator, "ths
banks advances to the state have
reached $4,000, 100000. The legal
limit is 23,200,0 00,0OO.
We've nearly reached the roof.
That's the brutal fact. It's useless
trying to conceal it."
