         TRIANGLE COMPANY ACCUSED
         
         League Charges Label Has Been
          Imitated - Asks Injunction
          
         The National Consumers League, which was organized
       to improve the conditions of workers on women's apparel,
       filed an application yesterday in the Supreme Court to
       restrain the Triangle Waist Company, in whose factory
       140 girls were burned to death, from imitating a label
       which the league provides for manufacturers whose plants
       have been investigated and who comply with the sanitary
       requirements of the league.
       
         The petition states that the label used is a small
       strip of cloth bearing the inscription, "Made under
       clean and healthful conditions."
       
         There is a great demand in the retail trade for gar-
       ments bearing the label, said Miss C. Jeanette Griffith,
       label secretary of the league. She alleges that because
       the Triangle Waist Company is unable to get permission
       to use it the defendant has made a fraudulent imitation
       of the league label, which reads, "Made under clean and
       sanitary conditions."
       
         MAX BLANCK, who with ISAAC HARRIS constitutes the
       Triangle Waist Company, in opposing the injunction said
       that his firm has had much to contend with in getting
       help because of the great loss of life in the fire, but
       that the trial of himself and his partner proved that
       the plant was as clean and sanitary as it could be.
