deliberations Of a citizens group last
night when John c. L. Ritter, 1911 G

tive committee of the Southeast Wash
ington Citizens Association, in an ad-
dress before that organization, protest.
ed the alleged rough treatment of visi-
tors at the trial by police.
Declaring that on the first morning
of the trial nearly so persons waiting to
gain admission were roughly herded
into a small room by police, Ritter
criticized this action and stated that
this trial was public hearing and
thus open to the people"
He said visitors were not allowed to
witness the trial, and were not told that
no room was left for them within. The
association took no action on Ritters
protest.
Approval Of the selection of site for
the proposed Vice Presidents residence
on Pennsylvania avenue southeast was
given by the association. suggesting the
present Government-ow property at
Tenth and the Avenue-the old Naval
Hospital, at present occupied by the
Temporary Home for Spanish American
War Veterans. The executive commit
tee was ordered to investigate possible
sites and report at the next meeting.
The association went on record for
the second time as favoring the South
west site for the Farmers Market. An
answer to letter to Traffic Director
William H. Harlan. requesting that
Eleventh street southeast from Lincoln
Park to Pennsylvania avenue be con-
verted into boulevard and stoplights
installed, explained that the traffic di-
rector has put the proposal before the
District Commissioners,

WRIT IS GRANTED
IN LABOR DISPUTE
Mandatory Injunction Re-
quires Calling Off Strike
on Building.

A temporary injunction was granted
today by Justice Bailey of the District
Supreme Court to the Dahlstrom Me-
tallic Door Co. of jamestown, N. Y,
against Is local unions, the Washing
ton Building Trades Council and 40 in
dividual defendants in a jurisdictional
dispute over the question of which Of
three unions should handle the material
of the company under its contract with
the Charles H. Tompkins Co. to equip
an Office building at Fourteenth and K
streets.
A mandatory injunction was also
granted by the court against the Build
ing Trades Council, the IS unions and
their business agents directing that
within three days they prepare and
deliver to the members of their associa-
tons. who were employed by the Tomp-
kins Co. or any of its SubcontractorS.
an order suspending and holding for
naught the strike order of February S
and advising the workmen that they are
at liberty according to their personal
desires without fine or penalty to re-
enter the employ of the Tompkins Co.
The defendants are also directed to
make report in writing to the court that
the order has been complied with.
The plaintiff corporation complained
that after an official of the American
Federation of Labor had decided that
carpenters might work on the installa-
ton Of the doors, the Washington
Building Trades Council, without author
ity in jurisdictional dispute, called a
strike on the building at Fourteenth and
K streets and started a sympathetic
strike on all other jobs of the Tomp-
kins Co. The plaintiff was represented
by Attorneys w. K. Stanley of Cleve-
land and w. C.. Sullivan Of the local
bar.
The temporary injunction requires
the calling off of the strike and the
sympathetic strike pending a final
hearing by the court upon the plain
tiff corporation giving bond of S2,590
to hold the defendants harmless by rea-
son of the suing out of the injunction.
The defendants declared the bill of
complaint did not state a cause CT
action and requested that the bill be
dismissed. The court denied that mo-
ton and then heard argument on the
application for a temporary injunction,
which was decided in favor of the
plaintiff. Attorney Robert Harrison APP
peared for the defendants.

TROTSKy CHARGES
'FRAME-UP' TO FOES
Leaders Opposed to Stain
Are Sent Into Banishment,
Exile Declares.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, February 27-Leon Trotsky,
in an article published today in Volks-
willie, organ of the opposition Com
munists in Germany, charged the Stain
group In Soviet Russia with a policy Of
melting agent provocateurs to plant EVIL
dence discriminating the opposition Com
munists in Russia.
1.-The mere announcement that the
opposition Is counter-revolutionar
party does not suffice" TrotSky wrote.
Nobody takes such a declaration seri-
ously. The more oppositionists are ex-
Guided and sent into Punishment, the
more their numbers have grown within
There remains but one thing for him
the attempt to draw bloody line be-
tween the official party and the oppo-
sition. Extreme necessity conpels him
to bring the opposition into connection
with attempts and with preparations
for armed rebellion.
Frame Ups Are Predicted.
1.-THE strongest hindrance to such a
plan is the leadership of the opposition.
But the physical destruction of old rev.
dictionaries known to the whole world
would entail grave political difficulties
Hence Stains plan: First, to accuse the
opposition of preparations for armed
rebellion as prerequisite to new re-
prisals; second, to be. in a great hurry
to Danish the head of the opposition
from the country in order to have his
hand free for the hangman's work on
such oppositionists who are little known,
especially abroad
Trotsky then predicted various frame
ups" in the near future to discredit the
opposition, and asserted that several
weeks ago such an attempt, conceived
according to all the rules of Bonapartist
provocation," was made, but failed.
Editor Urbahn Of the VolksWille told
the Associated Press that he Is in con-
slant touch with the exile in Constan-
tinople. though naturally through
grapevine" means.
German Residence Opposed.
Whether or not his mail is being
censored, we don't know At any rate
We are taking no chances" the editor
said 1T is certain that he is in bad
health and the Turkish climate does
not agree with him"
Urbahn said that as far as he could
determine the PruSsian cabinet was not
opposed to perm itting Trotsky coming
to Germany, but that the foreign Of
nee was solidly opposed to it.

BY the Associated Press
MEXICO CITY, February - Al
air excursion over Mexico City. pol
sibly as far as the nearby twin 81
canoes. with his fancee. Miss And
Morrow, is planned by Col. Charlie N
Lindbergh.
After two days in the romance-l9dcu
atmosphere Of sleepy old Guernavaca
the aviator was back today in ID
capital, within easy reach OF valbuena
Flying Field and his plane.
Some time before tbs termination d
his visit here. it is understood. he
plane. the four passenger City Oi
Wichita, will be trundled from its
hangar for the trip of the gagged PAIR,
Flight from Valbuena to Mexico Ci;J
is a. matter of minutes; a short ev-
tension of the excursion would carry
the two over Popocatepetl. Fire Mount
tain" and Ixtaccihuatl. Sleeping Woms
an" snow-capped volcanic peaks, ID
miles from the capital.
Aztec legend made of Popocatepeti
the abode of their war god. and the
plume Of smoke which is sometimes
seen over 1t gives rise even nov "a
superstitious fear among Mexican Ind
dians
Part of Col Lindbergh's courtShip d
Miss Morrow took place on a formed
fight Of the two in this direction5
While opportunity has not afforded
frequent flights with her fiance, MiSs
Morrow is an aviation enthusiast herd
self. and is expected to fly often witd
him in the future.
The return of Col Lindbergh and
Miss Morrow. her sister Elizabeth. and
Mrs. Morrow to Mexico City was end
tirely unexpected. A few minutes prof
to their arrival by motor car the Amers
lean embassy had given out the infors
nation that the stay at Cuernavaca was
indefinite and plans Of the two wCrs
not known.
Part of the 40 miles over the colonel
drove himself. At Cuernavaca the ava
ator had the undisturbed quiet ne has
sought so much in the United States
With him was his fiancee, and presumi
ably they exulted in nearly ideal sur.
roundings and circumstances.
Nevertheless, the colonel apparently
became restless at the 40 miles which
separated him from Valbuena Field and
the opportunity to fly. 1t was believed
the unexpected return here had no
other significance.
Save in flight there will be little
opportunity for him and Miss Morrow
to be much alone. inasmuch as there
are house guests at the Morrow home
and there are but few places outside
the home where they can go and not
be the center of an admiring throng.
There was no intimation of plans
for Col. Lindbergh's return to the
United States or as to the date and
place of his marriage.
