the Meaning of strike

OMAHA. April 81 admire Judge Jenk-
ms for his sterling ability as a iurist, for
his consistency. and his excellent iudg-
ment, said Judge Dundy, of the United
States district court, to Il reporter. when
asked his opinion of Judge Jenkins order.
The strike clause of his Injunction order
is but slightly modified. A great deal de-
pends upon the Interpretation of the word
strike. Ii 1t means for the men to resort
to violent methods and destroy property
or interfere with the operas ions of bust
ness, then shey should be restrained from
striking and thus avert the seouel that
would otherwise follow. If it means
simply withdrawal from, the service or
the right to quit on proper notice, that is
different. Judge Caldwell's idea is TO give
them their own choice in this matter, and
