STRIKERS MUST NOT NEEDLE
Federal Judge Rules that Coal COM
panies Shall Suffer from No Mo-

FORT SCOTT, Kan, July 1s.-Judse Will
liams, in federal court here today, after list
ening to arguments for many hours, granted
intunctions against President Wright. Four
teenth district OF the United Mine Workers
OF America. against the executive board in
charge of the Southeastern Kansas strike and
against every union miner. The right OF
speech and inducement was reserved for the
defendant, who fought the injunction hard.
One Of the coal companies sought by mo-
ton to have the United Mine Workers
union declared an illegal organization, but
the court refused TO do this.
The defendants and all others persons who
may combine, confederate or conspire with
them, are severally and collectively e~nioined
from interfering with, hindertng. boycott
ing, obstructing the business of the coal
companies, or from entering upon their
premises or congregating near their prop
erty, or from threatening, intimidating,
boycotting or molesting any employe OF the
companies. The strikers, by their attorney,
made an especial plea to have the executive
board exempted from the injunction, but
the court said they were the ones above all
others to be enioined.
President Wright and Joseph Boston OF
Duquoin, Ill, members OF the national com
mittee, stated after the decision that the in
junction would in no way affect the strike,
that it was becoming more active each day.

LlNEMEN JOIN THE STRIKERS
Tieup of the Cleveland Street Rail-
way system Promises to
BE Complete.

CLEVELAND. July 1s-The second d. Of
the renewed strike of the Big Consolidated
street railway system opened quietly. The
company today began running cars at irregu-
lar Intervals over the Euclid avenue, Wade
Park avenue, Cedar and Wilson avenue
cross-town lines. Up to 10 o'clock there
had been no disorder, but the strike is
spreading. The thirty hnernen Of the COM
pany last night decided to join the strikers.
They do the repairing Of trolley wires and are
an important factor in operating a street
railway. During the last strike no attempt
was made TO get them to strike and they
were kept busy in repairing the lines. Just
what the company will do Is not known
Linemen are scarce. All the linemen who
are out are members of the Cleveland
Electrical Workers union.
An effort, it is said, will be made to bring
out the power house employees.
Mr.. Bishop Of the State Board of Arbitra-
ton arrived in town today and will attempt
to arrange a meeting between the company
and the men. Indications at noon, however,
wers that the State Board Of Arbitration
would be r~epulsed by the strikers; that its
services in settling the strike would be alb
solutely refused.
President Bryan of the union was asked
WHISTLER the union would arbitrate either
through the state board or otherwise.
What is there TO arbitrator" was his sig
nifcant reply.
Mr.. Bishop called on President Everett of
the company, but did not accomplish any
thing. He believes il the OK sing sides do
not get together the state boerd will force
a public investigation. Merchants claim that
the last strike cost them 800 900 and are
now talking Of establishing bus lines to par
