blow, the transit commission has
ordered the Interborough to purchase
new cars and equipment to the value
of $14,925, ,675. James L. Quacken-
bush, general counsel for the Inter
borough, and counsel for that COM
pany in its motion for an injunction
against the American Federation of
Labor and the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street and Electric Rail
way Employees, says that if these or
ders are enforced the company will be
thrown into bankruptcy.
Answer is Filed
Affidavits in the injunction case in
behalf Of the American Federation of
Labor and the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street and Electric Railway
Employees have been filed, as has the
answer of these defendants. The an
swer is more than rejoinder to the
company's bill of complaint. 1t
launches a vigorous attack upon the
company's policies and tactics and
challenges its right under the law to
do certain things.
The motion for the injunction will
be argued January %, under new
agreement as to date. This advance
ment in the date will allow the attor-
neys for labor to perfect their case
and strengthen their position.
1t is a little known fact that on the
same day arguments will be heard
in contempt proceedings under anoth-
er injunction of almost equally
sweeping character, but not including
the American Federation of Labor in
its prohibitions.
Writ Against Dead Union
This injunction was granted against
the Consolidated Railroad Workers of
Greater New York, an independent, or
rump union, now defunct, but organ
lied as the first protest of the Inter
borough employees against the hated
company union.
Contempt proceedings are against
Joseph G. Phelan and J. H. Coleman,
Amalgamated organizer.
Phelan was one of the officers of
the old Consolidated, the rump, over
night protest union. This organiza-
tion called a strike. The INTERIOR
ough secured sweeping injunction,
naming the Consolidated and Phelan,
as we'll as other officers. When that
organization passed from the
scene Phelan became identified with
the new local union affiliated with the
Amalgamated and become it's secre-
tary. Now Phelan and Coleman are
jointly charged with contempt for al
legged violation of the injunction
