GoIdsborough Denies
Injunction Against
Bus Terminal Pickets

(From Yesterdays Last Edition.J
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough OF
District Court today refused TO grant
temporary restraining order
through which the Greyhound Ter
minal of Washington, Inc, seeks to
halt striking bus drivers from pick
citing the terminal at Eleventh street
and New York avenue NV. The
strike has tied up bus travel on
MANY Greyhound lines north and
west.
This case is typical of cases all
over the country" the jurist COM
mented in terming the situation.
distressing" He then ordered the
case set for hearing on its merits
as soon as possible.
Order Came Up Last Tuesday. g..
The question of the restraining
order came up last Tuesday, but
was continued to permit attorneys
to file additional data on whether
the strike-bound Pennsylvania
Greyhound Lines, Inc, controls the
terminal.
Justice Goldsborough today, how
ever, was not asked to rule on this
question, but merely to decide
whether the temporary restraining
order was to be handed down.
In supporting his. decision to re-
fuse the temporary restraining or
der, the jurist declared there was
no doubt" that the Norris-La Guar
dia Act. which precludes court juris-
diction in labor disputes in most in
stances, would certainly" go far
enough to protect in this case"
The union was represented in to-
days action by Attorneys Allen r.
Rosenberg and Warren Sharfman
and the Terminal Corp. by Attorney
Henry I. Quinn.
No Dispute With Terminal.
Mr.. Quinn previously argued that
there was no labor dispute with the
terminal, from which he said bus
lines ran under contractual agree
ment. He said the picketing was
unnecessary to keep out Pennsyl-
vania Greyhound buses because they
are not running. He added that the
terminal would see that the line did
not use the terminal during the
strike if the union would agree to
withdraw pickets.
Four other bus lines not involved
in the strike, Richmond Greyhound,
Capital Greyhound Lines, Inc; At
lantic Greyhound Corp. and Blue
Ridge Lines have contracts to use
the terminal. The Richmond and
Atlantic buses cross the picket lines
but the other two lines will not, it
was said. 1t also is claimed that
telegraph and telephone company
employees refuse to cross the picket
lines.
In Philadelphia no progress was
reported in the meeting yesterday
between union and Greyhound Off
cials called in an effort to effect a
settlement in the strike which af-
fects approximately 1000 AFL en-
ployes on six lines in 19 States.
Samuel B. Berrong of Milwaukee
member of the Executive Board OF
the Amalgamated Association OF
Street Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees. AFL, said the is
sues were still being studied.

John Hessin Clarke,

By the Associated Press,


SAN DIEGO, Calf, Mar. o.
John Hessin Clarke, United
States Supreme Court Justice
from 1916 to 1922 and long a
peace crusader, died in his sleep
today. He was 81 years of age.
The retired justice, who came here
in 1881 to make his home in a
bachelor suite at hotel, had never
married.
Justice Clarke, who resigned from
the Supreme Court in 1922, gained
distinction in a number of widely
separated fields-as an editorial
writer, an attorney for railroads, a
jurist and publicist for the League
of Nations.
In the legal field he gained respect
for his insistence that delay of
decision often amounted to denial
of justice" and his resulting habit
of keeping his dockets up to date.

Justice Clarke's name is remem-

partly for it's association with those
of Charles Evans Hughes and the
late Mark A. Hanna, political men
tor of the Mckinley administration
He succeeded Justice Hughes when
the latter resigned as an associate
justice in 1916 to accept the Repub-
lican nomination for the presidency
Earlier, in 1908, he had run unsuc-
cessfully against Mr.. Hanna for an
Ohio senatorship.
A native of Lisbon, Ohio, and a
graduate of Western Reserve Uni
versity, Justice Clarke studied law
and was admitted to the Ohio bar
in 1878. Two years later he pur-
chased half interest in the Youngs-
town Vindicator and for three years

stamped out all but bewildered
pockets of Germans west of the
Rhine and formed numerous
functions in the Saarland and
Palatinate in a mighty conquest
probably costing the Germans
well over 100000 men and two
complete armies.
While the Sd Army mopped up
enemy remnants in the chemical
center of Ludwigshafen, captured
the steel city of Neunkirchen and
fought hard for the HesSian capital
of Mainz, 7th Army elements broke
loose in advances of % miles from
last reported positions to points
many miles north of areas captured
earlier by the Sd Army-which was
rampaging southwark.
1t. Gen. George S. Patton's Sd
Army counted 1886 prisoners yes
terday and had another 1000 still
not processed for a total of around
22,335 prisoners-raising the esti-
mated prison bag alone for the
campaign to around 1885 Germans.

flows through the stronghold of
Braunsberg, which fell Tuesday.
