that the zone "for passenger carriers

dealing with the union
Il will instruct the receivers to meet
with representatives of that organiza-
ton (the union) whenever they re-
quire it., the judge said.
However, Judge Bryant continued,
Il cannot give the receivers, at this
time, any instructions or approval of
any demands, the character Of which
the court does not know"
Daniel Naylon, counsel for the re-

on the ground that receivers were
powerless to meet representatives be-
