Topeka, Kan, April 20-At IL O'Clock
last night Judge Hazen of the district
court issued. upon the application of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
company, 4 temporary injunction, re-
straining the striking shopmen from inter-
ferlng with the operation of the road or
with the men who are at work in the
shops. The hearing OF the case has been
set for May l. The company decided to
take this step yesterday afternoon,
when seven cooks who We're carrying
meals to the shop hands, were set upon by
strikers, who prevented them from taking
tue food into the shops. This incident, and
the fear that the additional force of new
men whom the company expected to put
on today might lead to n more serious COL
llslon. caused the company TO appeal to
the courts for protection. An hour be-
fore Judge HaZen granted the order sixty
non-union men arrived from Pennsylvania
to take the places of the strikers.
The strikers expected the men TO arrive
sooner than they did. They We're at the
station when both the o'clock and Z
O'Clock trains came In, expecting to induce
the men to not go to work. The new men
did not arrive however until 10 o'clock.
Upon their arrival they were marched
into the shops, where hunks were provid-
ed for them, and where they will live
until the strike is over. They are said to
be old Pennsylvania shop hands.
Committeeman Glenn, who is spokes-
man for the strikers, denies that he had
any knowledge of the coming of the new
men, or that the strikers had any inten.
tion OF interfering with them. He said:
Il am sure this move OH the pnrt of the
company is only il bluff to discourage the
strikers. The men are not good machiu-
lists Good men can always find places,
and they would not come way out here 10
fill our places. If the Chicago and Alton
road could not fill the places of twenty
men, | do not think the Santa Fe can,
without difficulty. fill the places of over
necessity for one. / have not heard of
blow being struck or an angry word being
since the strike began. SucI
things will not occur If any influence Of
mine can prevent 1t.
The sheriff aud twenty-nine deputies
started out this afternoon to serve notices
of injunction upon the strikers. The
strikers will not put themselves in the
way OF the officers, and it will be some
time before the work is completed.
The new men went to work in the shops
this morning. The strikers say that they
were employed under Il misrepresentation
of the facts; that they were told that the
shops they were coming TO work in were
new ones, and that there was no strike on.
The strikers also say that when the new
men learned that they were coming 10

number deserted the train at indianapolis,
and that eighteen more refused to go TO
work this morning Forty-three men got
