TRYING TO STOP NJUNcTIoNs
Members of Labor Unions Are Making
A Strong Fight to overturn
Decisions.

NEW YORK. May 2S.-The matter
of the injunctions that have recently
beer issued against the Cigarmakers'
Union. forbidding it to picket the fac
tories OF manufacturers whose en-
ployes have struck, and forbidding it.,
also. to pay strike benefits to the
strikers, has been taken up by the
Social Reform Club, which last even
ing listened to a report made by its
committee on injunctions.
The report contained the following
recommendations:
That an attempt be made to OBJ
tain concerted action throughout the
country in favor Of urging upon the
national and state legislatures the pas
sage of acts providing that iniunc-
tions shall not be issued against any
but parties to the action, their agents
or servants and attorneys.
That when an injunction, however
valid in part, prohibits the lawful use
of the highway, Or the right of free
speech, or lawful combination to ad-
vance joint interests, it shall be void
in tote.
That all persons who are charged
with disobedience Of an injunction, in
respect to the matter which might be
the subject of an indictment. shall
have the right to demand trial by
jury upon issues of fact to be prop
erly framed.
In regard to the injunction of JUS
tice Freedman against the Cigarmak-
ers Union, the committee was of the
opinion that the justice had not care
fully read the papers in the case and
believed that it would be set aside.
