deny that ! have seen the Injunction, as
1t has been printed in the newspapers and
am fully advised Of Its purpose. as the
newspapers give 1t. AS / read it, It seeks
to restrain the men from doing exactly
what We have always forbidden them to
do-that Is. interfering with the movement
OF trains. committing acts Of violence and
violating the laws of the land generally.
Railroad employees have the unquestioned
right to withdraw individually or in a body
from the service Of a company, but they
have no right to interfere with others who
may be employed to take their places.
Their rights end where the company's
rights begin, and If the company can Sc
cure other employees to successfully operate
their road they have the unquestioned right
! TO do so. We rely solely for success upon
our mems standing out together in all
things. Supported, as. we are, financially
and otherwise, by all Of the labor organiza-
tons of the country, without an exception,
we have no misgtvings as to what the out
come Will be. So far as law and order are
concerned, court injunctions are not re-

bers from committing depredations.'
