58 WILMETTE LIFE Busin'es$s Men Are DePutized to Ad Wilmette Poliçe (Coneinued from, Page 1)ý the protection. of the village against the, invasion of lawless elements and the depredations 'of hoodlums, and the creation of the citizen 's. police squad, to'cooperate with and serve under the direction of the, village police department, was the result. Foel. Inmction On behaif of sixteen north shore employers Attorney Theodore Kolb filed a petition before Circuit Judge Benjamin P. Epstein Tuesday pray- ing that an injunction 'be issued re- straining the officers, and members of the Chicago union (Laundry and Dyehouse Drivers' and Chanfeurs' union, local No. 712), from acts of violence or intimidation in attempts to solicit .the membership of their employes. Judge Epstein held that the petition was improperly prepared, and instructed that it be redrafted and presented to him Wednesday morn- ing, which was donc. Numerous conferences have been held between the union officiais and local employers looking toward an amicable settlement of the con- troversy, but union representatives would acccpt nothing short of union- ization, it was said. The final out- come was that they were plainly told that their demands would not be acceded tp or even cons idered, and there the matter rests, no at- tempt having thus far been made to execute the "or else" threats fre- qiuetitly voiced.. Dublia in Statement At Monday's conference President Dubbs expressed the sentiment of those present when he said that "no inter- ference is contemplated against law- fui efforts to secure union member- sbips or oi-derly picketing. "But, he added, "the village can and must be protected against iawiessness and property damage, or assaults upon those engaged in earning a ivelihood. Wilmettc is a community of peace- able, law abiding people, and that it should be turncd into a heil-hole -of labor strife, with resultant Ioss of work and damage to person and property is unthinkable. Every effort will be made to guard against any overt acts that migbt lead to open conflict between lawless groups and the forces of order, but if it comes we wili take care of it'. The laws wiil be enforced."
