the United States that the billIwas not
supported by proper affidavits; that the
subject matter of the bill was insufficient
TO support an injunction, and that a court
of equity could not rightly take cogni-
zance of the things stated in the bill
In the case of the American Railway
Union the same prayer was presented,
and the whole case, including that of
Debs and his brother officers and the
union will go to the court of appeals as
soon as bond is filed.
