ready Has Ended.

By the Associated Press.
Taking the position that the con-
troversy already had ended, the SUI
preme Court yesterday refused to pass
upon o labor union rule regulating
wages to be paid by outside contractors.
The case involved the Brotherhood
Of Painters, Decorators and Paper
Hangers and conferred about a contract
that the Barker Painting Co. of New
York took TO do work in Somerville,

American films, raw and finished,

might take the form of stricter

dustry really stands in no danger be-
cause it has organized French sub

films suitable for the European
