An anti-noise campaign was initiated
by the police last night, directed pri-
marily at drivers of bread and milk
wagons who shout TO their helpers,
rattle bottles and create other unneees-
sary disturbances in the wee small
hours, and motorists who do not use
their sirens with discretion.
The campaign was ordered in a
special report which went out from po-
lice headquarters to all precincts. 1t
read
The practice Of motorists In sound
ing their sirens or blowing the horns
unnecessarily while the machine is not
In motion for the purpose of attracting
the attention of some one, Is very dis
tracing to those who are i'll, and to

endeavoring to secure their rest, par
tieularly during the early morning
hours. and the men are directed to
give their attention to the matter with
are complied with and unnecessary
noises of all kinds prohibited.
ut Is observed where traffic Is held
up at intersections, drivers of automO-
biles continually sound their horns in
an effort to hasten the action of the
officer In releasing traffic.
"A great deal of unnecessary noise Is
made in the early morning by drivers
of milk and bread wagons and their

Northcott granted the order.
Today Judge Groner ruled that the
New Jersey corporation was not en-
titled to continuance of the injunction
on the basis of the law and evidence.
The injunction was the outgroWth OF
q controversy between the New Jersey
organization and its Virginia members,
leading up TO a declaration of indie

their securing a charter from the Vir-

When the Virginia charter was issued

rights to operate in this State had oc-
Cured. They subsequently petitioned
