BINGHAM DENIES
PHEZ INJUNCnON
Court However Grants Leave
.'to Amend and File New
Application r. In the case of The Pbez company
against the Salem Fruit Union.
Jge Bingham, Iat yesterday af
ternoon, handed down and opinion in
which he declined to grant a tem
porary restraining order, under the
present state of .the record;
r The opinion was based upon the
fact that the complaint, in its present-
condition, does not disclose the
xact nature of the modification of
the' original contract "between The
Phez company aiid the Fruit Union,
mads the time of the increase in
Price from three to three and a half
cents per pound..
Leave to amend the complaint,
setting out the nature of this modi
fication, was granted by. the . court,
with permission to renew the appli
cation for a restraining rder wheay
suea amendment is made.
From statements made by the
cotrt in passing on the case, it would
appear to be the j court's view that
plaintiff would be entitled to a re
training order, as agalns the Fruit
Union, In case the modification or
the contract was not of such a na
ture as to abrogate it.
He holds, however, that there is
no privity of contract between The
Phex company and the individual
Wmbers of the Salem Frnit union
Pool; so that in case a restraining
order is graated against the Salem
Fruit Union, and it I compelled 'to
elirer the fruit, ft will be necessary
for the Fruit Union to take such
steps as 'shall be necessary to coni
Pel the delivery by the growers to it,
under its rowe:s' contf acts.

to present to the German national as

tors in the war.
Few changes have been made in
the revised treaty. Five days was
the allotted ; period originally fixed
for the Germans to answer res or
I no to the demands of the allies. But
two days additional have bea grant
ed because f the insistence ot the
German delegation that not suffi
cient time had been allowed for
proper consideration of the revised
terms. This will extend the timt
limitation to Monday. Juns 23. If
Germany's reply is "yes" the treaty
will be immediately signed; if Ger
many declines to accede to the de
mands the armistice will be automat
ically terminated and the allied
arnsed forces' will take Whatever
steps they deem requisite to the oc
casion, j

changes had' been made in It. It
had been impossible to re-prl it the

The covering note of Premier Cle
tnenceaa severely castigates Germany
for p-otestlng against the treaty on
the ground that the treaty conflicts
with the terms of the armistice. M.
Clemenceau says Germany fails to
understand tfce position she ocmpies
today in the estimation of the world
for being responsible for a war whieh
was "the greatest crime against hu
manity and the freedom of the peo
ple that any nation, has ever con
sciously cotnBtJtted.
