Loew's Capital Theatres, have both brought petitions for temporary and permanent restraining orders to prevent Local No. 309 from interfering with operation of the Colonial Theatre. The first petition sets forth that the complainant is a Rhode Island labor union. It says that when the Loew company opened the Colonial Theatre there was no labor trouble, nor has there been since, and that none of the international, or local, union members were or nre employed there. It declares that the complainant and the Loew Company had a contract to operate the machines at an agreed price, and that this contract is being carried out with no dispute between the parties.

It alleges that before November 17 the local union and the Loew Company negotiated to operate the Colonial but reached no agreement. It says the complainant applied for admission to the American Federation of Labor and was refused.
