which has been on since July 9th.
From the testimony adduced and from

markable on account OF the utter lack OF
disorder. for which the strikers are com
mended. and have the sympathy OF the
court. Said he.
"rbere can be no question as TO what
our duty is. under all the testimony, but
| am somewhat i'm doubt as TO whether or
not The order should be modified. We can
not determine this without consulta-
ton"
Judge Stowe said this evening: This
Injunction will not justify the issuing OF
an attachment against any marchers who
are not found in company with the men

ti0n is not so sweeping as has been
thought: only the FIVE men named in II

erOn A. Miller. Urah Bellingham and Ed
ward Mckay are restrained from march,
ing or trespassing on the company s
property. The others mentioned can be
only those found in company OF the live
