OF LEGALD1SPUTE
Former Laundry Workers Wist
to Engage in Business
The r!. of Frank Beynolds and
Charles Witkin, two discharged em
ployes of the Union Laundry Co., to
engage in tho laundry business in
this city was argued in city court
today before Judge IS. W, Ailing. It
was conteiMlej ly counsel for tho
men that tho terms of a restrictive
contract, hail been abrogated by the
company's nctlons, and that a tem
porary injunction now existing
should bo dissolved.
Denial of this claim and declara
tion that one of the conditions of
; the defendent's employment over a
! period of many months was a signed
j agreement not to engage in the
I laundry business were made by the
company.
There was frequent mention of
!the phrnso "learning methods of
: business" with counsel for both
placing widely diverguit values upon
the privilege given Heynolds and
! Witkin to become familiar with the
company's methods of operation,
one of the considerations imutioncd
in a contract exhibited.
Attorney Francis P. rtohrmayer,
who appeared tor the two former
employes, required no eidenco of
the claim that they are now engag-
o.l in the laundry business and in
tend to continue this practice, ele
ments necessary to tho establish
ment of a prima facie ease,
Ossian S. Bennett, president and
treasurer of the company, identified
contracts sinned by the two defend
ants. Witkin was employed from
November, 1523, to January 0, 192.
: Since lie ceased work for the plain
i tiff he has been soliciting business
and injuring the company's trade,
Bennett said.
Reynolds, who was also charged
with the same actions, worked from
May 5, 1024. to Christmas week, It
was testified.
Questions directed at Bennett by
Attorney Bohrmayer brought out
that both men had been in the laun
dry company's employ prior to the
time they signed contracts, that
Reynolds had been discharged some
time ago and was engaged again,
