indiscriminate granting of injunc­

directly at Judge Murasky’s court, he
having recently issued a temporary
injuiictjon restraining the Labor
Council and Brewery Workmen’s Un­
ions from prosecuting the boycott de­
clared* against Rainier beer.
The affidavit also makes charges
that threats against plaintiff and his
employes have been made by individ­
ual members of the unions, and that
the boycott is being prosecuted de­
spite the temporary order granted.
The case was argued before Judge
Murasky on Thursday, John H. Mar­
ble appearing for the Labor Council
and President French and Emil Liess
and Cameron King for the Brewery
Workmen. The hearing was lift con­
cluded, however, and further argu­

the water from where they work.
They bear their burden while they
hope for some relief that seems nev­
er likely to come.
For some reason best known to
liimelf, ¿Admiral McCalla has placed
a ban on a privilege of the painters
that these men have practiced for
years. It had always been the cus­
tom for these men to quit work just
a little before the scheduled quitting
time—5 o ’clock. This was in order
that they might clean their pots and
their brushes and put them away in
time to catch the boat which leaves
ten minutes past 5 and took them to
their homes in Vallejo. Now that
privilege is gone. The men must
work until the whistle blows> and
the cleaning they have to do must
be done afterwards. By this special
arrangement they are forced to wait
on the island for another hour until
the next boat leaves, and reach their
families while the night is coming on.
Down at the end of the island an­
other cry is raised by the men in the
magazine. It had been their request
that they be allowed to work a half
hour of their noon recess so that they
might have ample time to walk from
their house of peril to the boat and
leave the island at quitting time with
the other men, but the hand that
rules denied them.

The Falls City Trades and Labor
Asembly has taken up the cudgel and
will force the unions affiliating with
that body to withdraw either from
the assembly or the labo< council.
Some of the unions are now affiliating
with both centrals, and the assembly
has issued the edict that one or the
other of the centrals must be given
up. As the Labor council has about
30 unions and the asembly but eight,
it places some of the unions that have
joined the assembly through being
forced by their internationals, in a
pretty tight place. July 1 has been
set as the date for forcing the ulti­
matum. and the result will be watch­
ed with interest.—Spokane Labor
