MACHINISTS
Lost Strike at Hamilton.
Court Decision Rendered Further
Resistance Ineffective.

Hamilton, o., July 12.-(Spl.)-T
machinists' strike at Hamilton, which
has kept 1,5O0 men idle since May 20,
was practically broken up by two
crushing blows this afternoon. Judge
Elan Fisher of Eaton, who has been
here for a week hearing the injunction
case of the Niles tool works against
its striking machinists, this afternoon
announced n sweeping decision, per
petually enjoinmg the picketing of the
plant and holding the union respon-
sible for the acts of the men Ii required
to do picket duty, regardless of the
instructions given the men.
He held that the obvious purpose of
picketing was lawless intimidation,
such as has been declared illegal by
every supreme court In America.
The 100 striking machinists Of the
HOoven- Owens Rentscheler Go. voted
to return to work today without con
cession, and 1t Is likely that next Mon
day all shops will open with full
force.
