 A joint statement by President Thomas R. Molloy and secretary treasurer John J. Driscoll said:

 that they have no assurance of their jobs from week to week.
 The complaints of low wages are based on allegations that the scale paid by the city to drivers, laborers and other employees are far below those considered as minimumS in private industry.
 MT. Driscoll stated that 8 prin- cipal premise in the formation of the new union will be No strikes" " He said that no strike against a government, municipal or other wise, can be countenanced.
 Whether or not the city adminis- tration will seek to prevent the street, sewer and water department employees from organizing remains to be seen. MT. Driscoll indicated that any attempt to prevent em- ployes from joining the union would be met by legal action. Rights of municipal employees to join labor groups have been upheld by the courts, he declared.

 Motions Similar
 States Atty. Fitzgerald said the motion for the bill of particulars was similar to q motion. for more specific Information ruled on by the court last Wednesday. He said that when he received yesterdays mo- tion he immediately contacted Miss Cavanaugh,s attorneys and gave them the information concerning the checks involved in the case.
 It was apparent from Atty. Fitz- gerald's remarks that most of the facts leading up, to the lleged em- bezzlement involve checks.
 Atty. McNiff argued to the court that while Atty. Fitzgerald had sup piled information concerning the checks, he should also be compelled to furnish much additional informa- ton. He said that this information was necessary for the proper prep aration of Miss Cavanaugh's case.
 All Information
 The states attorney told the court that he had supplied all the infor- nation that he could properly fur niSh.
 Judge McEvoy says in his memo randum of decision that States Atty. William B. Fitzgerald had disclosed to the defense rather precise il- formation, as to the basis for the charge lodged against Miss Cava- naugh and adds that because of this it would seem as if the accused had been reasonably and seasonably ap- praised as to the basis of the states claim. The -jurist found that attor- neys for Miss Cavanaugh would not be prejudiced in the preparation of t' . defense for lack of the desired information.
 Judge McEvoy stated in the de- cision that "a decision on this mo- ton ought to be based upon a theory of protecting the rights of the accused and preserving the rights of the State." ~"
 He adds the defense claim the court has discretion to order. the state to file an information con- taining greater details than requir- ed by law was sound and should be exercised in proper cases.
 Continuing, the court says in the decision that from practical stand point the aim should be to see to it that the accused is reasonably and fairly informed as to the nature of the charges made against her.
 He added that the recent tendency has been to depart from the former requests of meticulous detail of allegation in an information.
