Iron Leagues Petition for Injunction Restraining Strikers Refused
 By Judge.

New York, August o.-Supreme Court Justice Lydon has refused the Iron leagues request for an anti-plcket- ing injunction against striking iron workers, who have been on strike since last May to enforce higher wage rate Only members of the Iron league, en- blowing 1,2O0 iron workers, have re- fused to grant the new rate or recog- nize the union.
 Justice Lydon would not accept the Iron leagues congratulations that threats and intimidations have been used against its strikebreakers.
 There is no evidence of probative force in the many affdavits to show that the pickets on the different jobs have been guilty of any violence or have in any way substantially interfer- ed with the plaintiff S. business" said Fthe court.
 The iron workers charged that the employers do not come into court with clean hands, as the steel mills aid their conspiracy against the union by grant ing them a rebate of $6 ton on steel erected by non-unionists.
 Judge Lydon did not overlook the workers charge, which, he said, raises the point that a conspiracy does exist, and if established would be decisive of the fact that the plaintiffs are not entitled to come into equity for relief
 The Iron leagues injunction plea IS an incident in its long opposition to the Structural Iron Workers union. The league is backed by the National Free tors association and other anti-union forces. League employers have sued President Morrin of the international union and other officials for $5,0OO,000 damages The unionists have filed a counter suit and set up, as one of their complaints the conspiracy charges referred to.
 Pending hearing of the cases in the early fall the employers asked for an injunction against picketing, which Is now refused.
 "Picketing is lawful when lawfully conducted" said Justice Lydon.. "I do not find any charges in the afhdavits which would sustain a finding that pic<ets exceeded their rights as such, " he said. .
 There are some vital issues in the case raised by the defendants, and it may be that the defendants contention that the plaintiffs do not come into i court with clean hands-may be sus- tained upon the trial
 The papers before me create doubt in my mind as to the right of the par ties: First, as to whether the defen- dants are overstepping the powers which the law gives to them, and sec ondly, whether the plaintiffs are in such a situation that they are entitled to equitable relief. .>
 ''When such a doubt exists the arm 1 of the court will not be stretched ou to aid the plaintiffs and to give them during the pendency of the action, all of the relief which they seek and may be obtained by final judgment"

 The closing feature of the vaudeville section of the bill is one that con- cludes the show with a real dancing punch. The act is Twists and Whirls and is presented by a sextette who dance so well as to be entitled to in- dividua1 credit. Included in this step ping routine are modern toe and old fashioned dancing, buck and wing dancing, military number and many ultra modern steps.

THE PALACE,

As the screen feature of a carefully combined bill of pictures and vaude- vile for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesda ythe Palace presents Be tween Friends" a visualization of a compelling and gripping story by Rob- ert w. Chambers. Here is a picture combining the rare features of re- markable narrative, a superior cast and taultlesS direction and the blending of such essentials means picture perfect.
 As already stated Between Friends" IS a story of great power, indeed 1t has been generally agreed that 1t is one of the finest of Robert w. Chambers writings. When 1t is considered that the. five principal roles of the drama are played by Lou Tellegen, Norman Kerry, Alice Calhoun, Anna O. Nils son an dStuart Holmes the mention of these names causes the production to assume great impressiveness among screen followers.
 Any anticipation that may be aroused by this attractive combination of auth
  appointment when the production is viewed. Its principal roles are played with the finished artistry naturally ex- pected from cast so gifted and bril- liant and every atom of dramatic power and strength which the author has written into his lines are obtained by these capable players.
 Between Friends" is a story of the eternal triangle, the author developing his theme from the trusted friend" idea in a manner that engenders con- hicting emotions and creates a sus- tained suspense that is felt from the opening to the closing scenes. Tie picture has been staged most elabor- ately, its scenes possessing all the rich ness and beauty expected in the mod ern screen masterpiece.
 Lela Whites Entertainers figure prominently among the featured vau- deville attractions of this new Palace bill. They form a miniature minstrel troupe making up in quality for what it may lack in quantity for it is an entertaining aggregation de lux. The

petite semi-circ1e formed by the clever quintette IS composed of Lela White in the interlocutor's chair, Major White and Bob Blake on the ends and with Amy Tompkinson and Billie Tempest completing the little troupe. Miss Tempest is coloratura prima donna and Miss Tomkinson is such a clever jazz singer that she is called Queen of the Blues" The quintette has the entertaining powers of three times their number and their Bits of 1924" is whirlwind of minstrelsy and vaude- ville
 Joe Towle is the chap noted for his own peculiar line of entertainment He takes strand of batter and a song and music and braids them ipto dis tinct1y different monologue. For 16 minutes he tells stories, sings songs and plays the piano and while doing these things he gets away with as large bundle of laughs as any comedian would care to capture. Joe will go on record as a hit with Palace audiences.
 Dixie Norton is distinctly a vaude- vile personality which means that her ways of singing, her mannerisms, her ability to wear clothes and her knack of doing things are all winning The sterling entertainer is presenting a little act which shS chooses to call Songs of Wrongs" It was written by Andy Rice and is a lyric satire on the real and fancied grievances of hu-

his political experience being only his one term as senator, os he has decided to seek the nomination the third party candidate. His attitude Thurs day night puts him out of the running as democrat automatically.
 Following MT. Tone John M. Dunn, another Democratic ward chairman, supported the resolution for endorse ment of La Toilette and Wheeler, de claring it his personal preference de- spite any Labor attitude. He was fol- lowed by P. F. 0Meara, president of the State Federation, who objected to the rush methods being employed and declared that he demanded that he be recorded as voting against the resolu- tion.
 Delegate Smith of the railroad ma chinists union rose and offered reso- 1ution to lay the matter on the table until the next regular meeting so that Roars from the supporters of the en- dorsement drowned him out and vote was demanded.
 From several parts of the hall came demands for vote by roll call and then some of those behind the en- dorsement who didn't want to be re- corded began to duck for cover. Henry Tierney, of the Electrical Workers, prominent in Democratic politics in West Haven, objected to the roll call because of the hot night and the time it would take although there were not two score of delegates in the hall at the time and a roll call would not have occupied five minutes while the riotu ous debate had occupied nearly two hours. Those not desiring to be re- corded, however, had their way, but rising vote was finally secured and thus those supporting the La Toilette movement were finally shown up any how The result was 19 to 12 for the resolution of endorsement.
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-08-09

MT. Fitzgerald immediately jumped to the floor and moved that the dele gates to the state convention in Hart ford Sept be instructed to introduce the resolution there and demand It's adoption. President Smith, had early in the evening according to the custom of sending the president to the cOnven- ton, been elected as delegates. He in formed the meeting that If the motion to instruct him passed he would with. draw as a delegate. The clique put 1t oyer anyhow and then MT. Fitzgerald proceeded to cause the election of de- legate to take President Smiths place, and nominated Tone. Another argrl ment arose, delegates declaring that President Smiths resignation had not been formally accepted. Tone and Fitz- gerald jumped to their feet and said the presidents declaration automatically re- moved him as delegate but some order was finally secured and on President Smiths answer to a question by John Dunn as to whether he meant 1t Or not dIu HIS lCply tl1dl llC ulb, liII 1NSlSiI T ton as delegate was accepted.
 Tone was again put in nomination and MT. O'Meara nominated Vice Pres ident George Webster. Fitzgerald de. manded to know if Webster would rake instructions to push the endorsement. Webster replied that if the Council in sisted on instructions he felt he would have to obey. He wasn't one of the clique however and even his agreement to obey orders didn't have any weight and Tone was put over by a vote Ct 19 to 12, the same as that adopting the endorsement.
 During the argument the delegates from the cigar shippers union which and one of their number arose and asked that they be recorded against the resolution. Fitzgerald was there with his objections and became so spirited in expressing them that the women with drew, before the vote was taken, one lone delegate remaining to get the data and report back to the meeting the re- suit.
 Satisfied with the railroading through of the endorsement and to prevent and further reopening of the subject Eitz- gerald immediately moved an adjourn ment. The delegates were by that time sweltering in the heat and were only to glad to call it quits for the night. and thus the runpus ended.
 The question will now go be ore the local unions and several delegates pre- sent stated that the action of the corn- Gil might not be supported there bu. may have serious after effect Great stress was laid on the fact that the A. F. of L. Council had led tine way Ill en- dorsing LaFollette. This however is not binding on any union any more than lis the Trades Council endorsement which inasmuch as the local unions have had opportunity to take the matter up since the A. F. of L. board issued its decision this week, is nothing more than an expression or personal oTinion by those delegates who pushed the matter through Thursday night over the protests of delegates who desired to speak for their unions rather than for themselves

UNION GARMENT
 WORKERS SIGN AN UNUSUAL CONTRACT

New York, Aug 9.-The Interna- tional Ladies' Garment Workers Union has signed an unusual agreement with the three employers associations in the cloak and suit industry.
 This trade has confounded those who predict industry will continue to become more centralized until final ly there will be one huge trust in each calling. The cloak and suit industry has gone in the opposite direction, and to check the general decentralization the union submitted a series of con structive demands to employers. The demands were approved by a commits sion appointed by Governor Smith and have since been accepted by the asso citation of manufacturers, submanufac- turers, and jobbers.
 To check what might be termed "one-man" shops, with their sweating tendency, all parties agree that the 5000 shops will be reduced one-half by providing that no shop recognized by the union shall contain less than IA running machines. If shops that fall below this standard are to remain in business they must be re-equipped and their work and sanitary conditions brought up to requirements.
 All parties pledge to exchange lists of shops. A joint committee will be created, a sanitary label will be used on all goods manufactured, and an un employment insurance fund will be in stalled. The funds for this insurance will be raised by employers contribut- ing 2 per cent. of their pay roll and the workers contributing per cent of their weekly wages.
 Probably the most important part of the commissions recommendation is its statement that the union Is one of the four principal factors in the suit and cloak industry. The other factors are the manufacturers, the submanu- lecturers, and the jobbers. The com mission placed the union first.
 Justice, official paper of the Inter national Ladies' Garment Workers Union, says this statement amounts to much more than what is customar- lily designated as union recognition" which is one of the most substantial achievements gained by organized labor for the workers, usually at very great sacrifice.
 There is, however, vast difference between such form of union recog- milton and the one which is embodied in the declaration made by the. gov ernor's commission that the union is factor in the cloak industry, and that 1t has the full right to advance de mands not only in regard to wages, work conditions and sanitary environ ment in the shops, but also such as affect the methods of industrial man agement," says Justice. ..-z~
 ''In other words the decision of the governors commission states plainly that the owners of the factories are not only managers of the industry, but that the union has an equal right to have its say and to insist firmly that its word be heard and it's suggestions carried out when they affect the in terests of the workers in the industry.
 "The worth of this highly important point of the commissions decision can not of course, as yet be measured in dollars and cents.'
