STUDENTS' LAUNDRY BRINGS SUIT FOR STOLEN METHODS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A damage suit and an injunction to refrain the Harvard Cooperative Laundry from using names and methods employed by the Students Laundry, has been filed by the latter organization. The case was heard yesterday, and was taken under advisement by the judge. A verdict will be given in two or three days.

According to the protest filed by the Student Laundry, the Coop has reversed its laundry policy this year, and has borrowed without permission from the plaintiff, trade names, services, and methods of measuring charges. Among the methods borrowed are the "piece system" and "the dollar bundle", both of which systems were originated in the Square by the Students Laundry. The case comes under the heading "unfair competition," and the plaintiff's charges are based on the claim of property rights.
