United Hebrew Trades
Again Asks for Court
Order Against Clerks

Justice Forsyth sitting in Part l,
Supreme Court, Brooklyn, yesterday
reserved decision on the application
Of the United Hebrew Trades for an
injunction against the Retail Gro
Gerry and Dairy Clerks Union
The application was the third at
tempt of this kind by the Hebrew
Trades, two previous applications be-
fore Justice Mitchell May having been
denied. In commenting on the case
Justice Forsyth stated that it seemed
strange that the United Hebrew
Trades should come for the third time
with no new evidence for an injunc-
tion which twice previously has been
denied.

union is FRAUD

In preparation for the hearings
Jan. % of the Interborough applica-
tion for a permanent injunction
against the organized labor move
ment, Almalgamated traction union
officials announced yesterday that
additional briefs were being filed to
discredit the company union Of the
Interborough.
Our evidence and sworn testimony
proves" these officials stated, chat
the company union is not what it is
claimed to be in the Interborough af-
fidavits but is in fact subterfuge
and an instrument to enslave the
traction workers"
This attack on the company union
follows closely upon an earlier an
nouncement that 80 economists and
labor experts, including Professor
Edwin r. A. Seligman, head Of the
department of economics, Columbia
University, had united in condemning
the marlborough brotherhood"

DENVER, Colorado, Dec. 20 (FP).
= The next move for settlement
of the Colorado coal strike is
definitely up to the operators, who
consistently refuse to meet the miners
with any peace attempt.
Friday the northern strikers Of
fered the operators through the In
dustrial Commission conditions for
returning to work pending final set
Element. Yesterday a group of north
ern operators through an attorney de-
MED they were parties to the Indus
trial Commission hearing which has
been continuing ten days, and refused
to recognize the strikers executive
committee as representing the min
ers. Today the attorney for the
Rocky Mountain Fuel Company,
large northern operators, said his
company is party to the hearing but
that it is impossible for them to ac-
cept the strikers terms unless other
operators would also.
Responsibility for continuing the
strike is therefore definitely on the
shoulders of the operators. Mean
while the operators are bringing wit
nesses in an attempt to disprove the
miners grievances, such witnesses
being merely for the information of
the commission, operators say, and
not for the purpose of arriving at a
basis of settlement.
Not one miner has been brought to
the, stand as operators witness, but
superintendent, company managers
and other bosses with no knowledge
of conditions. The superintendent of
the Baum Mine testified that nine
men in his mine averaged $500 to
4,40O during the last six years but
none Of the men appeared. Some of
them are known to be on strike and
miners are asking why men .receiv4
ing such wages strike for the lack
sonville scale.

Marie Freedman, So. snuffed out her
life and the lives of her five chill.
dren, ranging in age from ten
years to two. by turning on the
gas in the kitchen of her home in
Whitestone. Long Island. today.
Constant brooding since the death
of her husband in an automobile
accident was said by police to have
been the motive.
The occupant of an adjoining
apartment, smelling the escaping
gas, hammered down the door to
the Freedman home and discovered
the tragedy.
Mrs. Freedman was found in bed
with her youngest child, Joseph, 2,
clasped in her arms. The other
children lay in another bed, Theo-
dore, 10; jeanette, Z; Katherine, 4,
and Nancy. 3.
Two letters were left by the
woman, one addressed to a sister
in-Iaw. Mrs. Ruth Freedman, of
Wilmette. ILL.,, whom she recently
had visited, and the other to a
friend here.
Before turning on the gas Mrs.
Freedman apparently had placed two
canaries in a small suitcase. They
were not affected by the deadly
fumes, and burst into song when
policeman opened the suitcase.
