DRASTIC REFORMS BY COURT UNITED STATES JUDGES ARE LIMITED IN REGARD TO IN JUNCTION PROCEEDING. New Rules Embody Points Urged by Lsbor Leaders First Revision in Many Years. Washington. In promulgating the first revision ot the equity rules of Federal courts in the last fifty years, the ' Supreme court ot the United States prohibited the granting ot pre llmtnary. injunctions without notice, and restricted the granting of tempo rary restraining orders. The court em bodied in the new rule many of the points of the Clayton antl-lnjunctlon bill, for which labor leaders have been fighting, which has passed the bouse and waits in the senate. Instead of. temporary restraining or ders being issued without notice upon presentation to a Federal judge pn general allegations that Immediate and Irreparable damage is about to bo inflicted, and . the new rule .; re quires thta it must be shown by' spe cific facts set forth In affidavits, or otherwise, that such damages will re sult. When a temporary restraining order is issued a hearing on the in junction must be given within ten days. Heretofore no time limit was fixed by the rules and often not by the courts. The court went still farther and pro vided that those restrained may come into court within two days nad be heard with expedition on a motion' to dissolve the restraining order. The new rules do not require those pro curing the restraining order to give a bond or the judge to set forth in the order his reasons for granting it. These were provisions In the Clayton bill. ' Chief Justice White did not refer to the anti-Injunction rule in announcing the changes in the old rules, but did emphasize the sttaement that the. re vision was designed to simplify pro cedure and remove delays and reduce cost. The antique form of pleading is abrogated in the new rules for the modern forms of "code," tates' judges are required, with few excep tions, to do bp, and appellate courts authorized more generally to dispose of suits Instead of reversing on imma terial errors.
