molders. but It's relations with it's help
were most pleasant.
Mr.. German asked witness IL the
Builders Iron Foundry could not haye
furnished castings If il had paid the
price asked for by mOlders. Mr. Card
ner objected 10 any questions as TO
why the work was done at the Builders
Iron Foundry saying there was no tes-
timony OF contest Judge Stiness
agreed with Mr.. Gardner and then Mr..
German asked IL there was not con-
tract between the Builders Iron Foun-
dry and the complainanis predecessor

the cortract on the part Of the Cleve-
lam firm. Mr.. German objected. say
rgithe letter did not show any cOnnec-
ticn ~ the defendants with the break

overrpied tho objection.
The irst letter read showed that a

Union and Henry NJ. Donelley James
III. o'Nen and Albert Jones officers OF
the former union. Is restrain them
from further interfering with the COM
plainants business or following its pat
terms when they are sent out TO nave
hastings made.
Judge Stiness at the close of the
hearing said he would withhold his de-
cision until counsel had submitted au-
thOrities on the point raised by MI
Gardner To the effect that the court
could issue an injunction against MEM
bers of a voluntary association that
would be binding on parties on whom
y; oeess had not been served OF VINO
wele not before the court in the pres
ent case.
Rathbone Gardner was associated
with w. R. Tillinghast as counsel for
the complainant and he said that the
courts In cases arising out OF the Pull
man strike had issued injuncs ions
against voluntary associations ana ev-
cry one was bound by the injunction

Charles T. SOrman was counsel for
the defendants and his argument was
that there was nothing TO show that
anything wrong had been done 10y
members OF the unions. Judge Stiness
thought thai there was much evidence
that the company's business had been
interfered with in a way that was not
legal. He did not believe DontNley or
