BALTZELL RAPS STREET RAILWAY, LABORLEADERS Court Degraded by Petition in Labor Dispute, Says Judge. Interrupting attorneys for' the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Employes of America in the midst of arguments Judge Robert C. Baltzell in Federal Court today rged attorneys for the city and association of “degrading the Federal Court by bringing into it petty differences between organized labor and the Indianapolis Street Railway Company." Attorneys were arguing against a motion filed by city- authorities to have dismissed a complaint for an injunction against the city to prevent arrest of officials of the organization by police. City Attorney Absent Judge Ralt/.ell took note of the fact no member of the city legal department was present and that D. E. Watson and W. H. Latta, street car company attorneys, were representing the city. Latta said ho had received a letter from corporation counsel Alvah J. Rucker, asking the street railway attorneys to represent the city in the case because Rucker was “too busy.” “You gentlemen know the court’s procedure,” Judge Baltzell said. “The court should be notified." Brief Ordered William C. Bachelder said Robert Armstrong, a vice president of the association, and others connected with it have been arrested forty times in the last few months. , . “If the arrests are in violation of the law the officers should be dismissed and prosecuted,” the court •declared. “However, the court will not be an instrument to settle disputes between organized labor and the railway company. It will not attempt to dictate the policies of city .government, either.” ‘ Judge Baltzell ordered brie!:; filed Immediately. RUSH DRAWINGS FOR SHORTRIDGE School Board Expected to Get Plans June 8.
