ing injunction proceedings against

plea was issued by the executive coun
cil of that organization at its final
session "to organized labor, its friends
and sympathizers" for funds for that
purpose. After declaring that "a
most unusual and important epoch
has occurred in which extra funds
are essential to carry on the fight,"
the appeal sets forth the recent de
csiion of Judge Wright in the con
tempt proceedings, and that an appeal
has been taken in that case as well
as in the original injunction. It isde
clared that should an adverse deci
sion be reached it will be essential
