Railway union and claims that the men
have been working under agreements
signed by brotherhood officers, which
agreements were rcpudiated by the action
at the strikers; that the road did not
know when tho demand was made by
Hogan 10 what extent he was authorized
10 represent the employees and It
was impracticable and impossible
to hcccde to his demands without
violating the agreements with the brother
hoods; and that on the demand not being
complied with the men quit on April IL.
The petition sets forth that for several
hundred miles tho road passes through a
sparscly-scttlcd country, from the inhnb-
itants of which il is impossible TO get
sufficient number of men to operate tho
road, and that it Is necessary to bring
into the state mon employed in Mime
sofa and elsev here in tho East to take tho
place of the strikers that tho union
threatens to prevent tho operation OF the
road by intimidation aud force.

Copies of this order were served on the
men named, who are all here. Hogan,
Richardson aud RIker. who we're TO have
gone 10 81. Paul To confer with President
Hill, were compelled to remain behind
others taking their places. They are
taking the matter coolly and say there
will likely be no occasion 20 use the courts
injunction.
subsequently a restraining order was
issued embodying the above facts and
directing the men named not to interfere
with tho property of tho road pending a
hearing on the application for an injunc.
ton. The injunction called for n signiti-
cant interview with Organizer Hogan,
which is taken as indicating possible
tic-up of tho Northern Pacific. Hogan
said: This injunction is TO restrain Us
from doing what We have not done and
are not going TO do. We have never as
serted that we would do what is here
charged. II will have no effect on the
strike. but may cause every road in tho
country TO be tied up. This injunction
IS entirely immatorial. At present
the men are not fighting til,
Great Northern road, but the
General Managers association o
