From the full, text of the West Vir-
ginia judges injunction on the coal
strikers it is seen that it isn't so bad
as the abstracts first sent out indicated.
The injunction does forbid, among
other things. assembling along the
roads the employees of the mine may
pass going to and from their work or
there interfering with them so as to
induce them to abandon their work in
said Mines Just what the court
would term interfering we do not
know. If by it is meant threats OF
violence no one ought to object but II
it be construed SO as to apply to ex-
hortatons to strike. appeals for aid t.
the strike and sympathy for starving
families of the strikers. then there is
ground for complaint.
