District Justice Also Denies
Plea to Dismiss "Without
Prejudice"
ROW IN BOARD GROWS
HOTTER OVER POLICIES
Cooidge's Activity Not Clearly De-
fned-Has Full Cooperation of
Chairman 0'Connor.

Justice Hitz of the District Su-
preme Court today signed the formal
order dismissing the suit for injunc-
ton brought by the Pacific Mail
Steamship Co. against the United
States Shipping Board to prevent the
sale of the five President ships to R.
Stanley Dollar and the Dollar Steam
ship Co. The order operates to re-
woke the restraining order which was
granted April 8 by the court pending
a hearing of the petition of the plain
tiff.
Attorneys Bolitha ]. Laws and for
mer Senator George E. Chamberlin
tried to persuade Justice HitZ to add
the words without prejudice" to the
order of dismissal. They asked an op-
portunity to consult further as to any
possible legal claim they might have
against the Shipping Board which
was not covered in their bill of COM
plant, and declared they would take
no appeal if their request were grant
ed. They did not expect, they said.
that the restraining order would be
continued.
Proposal Strongly Opposed.
Assistant United States Attorney
Vernon E. West, for the Shipping
BOARD, opposed the a0Qlllon OF the
words, claiming that the bill had been
considered on it's merits and had been
found by the court to have no merit
and that 1t should be dismissed. He
claimed this was a final determina-
ton by the court and should not be
nullified by the proposed addition.
Former Senator Stanley, repre-
senting the Dollar interests, also op-
posed the without prejudice" addi-
ton to the order, pointing out that
his client had come all the way from
San Francisco and should not be
required to make another trip in
the event counsel for the Pacific
Mail should think they had some
other grievance and bring a new suit.
Hitz Bans Extra Words.
Justice Hitz declined to rneke the
required addition to the order, say
Ing: Il think it is about time that the
Pacific mail should fly or alight."
Attorney Laws then stated a con-
ference would be hell as to the ap-
peal and due notification, If one is TO
be taken, made to the court within
the time fixed by the rules.
