It will be seen by reference to the case
| just quoted from that the prayer o. the
bill and the injunction granted are very
similar TO the prayer of the bill in the
case now before me. This case. as I have
said, went to the Supreme Court or the
State Of Missouri and was sustained.
The same questions have recently feen
passed upon by the Circuit Court of Ale
| ghany county, State of Maryland. in the
| case of the Consolidated Coal Company CT
Maryland against VIM. B. Wilson e. els,
| in which case the plaintiff asked, ar.ong
other things, for an order
Prohibiting each and all OF them tr0m
| continuing their unlawful assemblages in
or near the said mines, or on or near the
paths or approaches leading u he mines
! of the said Consolidated Coal Company.
and from continuing to assemble there
with intent to forclbly prevent the miners
| from working for your orator In sad
mines, and from going to work therein AID
! from then and there using threats.
menaces shouts, show of force, and Offers
of violence to interfere with, prevent ard
stop the miners in said mines Of Jour tr-
ator from continuing their daily labor
/ therein"
This case will be found in thu Circuit
Court of Allegheny County, State Of Mary
land, No. 1894 Equity.
It will thus be seen that the rights ard
duty of the courts to proceed by injunction
in proper cases are well recognized in this
country.
1 am Of the opinion that the pleinutt's
bill upon its face presents case which
comes entirely within the adjudlca'ed
cases, and will, therefore, issue a ,enpo-
rary restraining order
The material facts in the case Of The Mo-
nongah Coal and Coke Company vs.. INC
same parties in which an injunction is
also asked for, being practically the same
as the facts in this case The same rules
of law are applicable.
(Signed) JOHN w. MAS ~.
Tonight Special Judge John w.
Mason is writing a letter to Governor
Atkinson in regard to the injunction
recently granted the Monongah and
West Fairmont coal companies. The
letter is a personal one and the Judge
refuses to give it out for publication.
Among other things it says this case
will settle the doctrine one way or the
other in West Virginia, and as it is the
first case of the kind decided it nat
urally provokes criticism.
