STRIKERS ENJOINED
SWEEPING ORDER ISSUED BY FED
ERAL DISTRICT JUDGE THOMP-
SON AT CINCINNATI
AGAINST THE MACHINISTS
Defendants to the Action May Not
Picket or Patrol the Factories
of Plaintiffs In Any Way
Whatever.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 3.-Judge A
c. Thompson, Of the United States court,
today allowed a temporary injunction
against the striking machinlsts. The ac-
tion has been anticipated and as Judge
Thompson is to sail for Europe next Sat-
urdau, it was expected that Judge Clark
would hear the case. When there was a
prospect for an agreement between the
parties Judge Clark left the city on
Tuesday for his home in Chattanooga.
| Judge Thompson was therefore called
on to issue q temporary injunction. He
said that upon the application and the
afldavits accompanying it, a temporary
order would issue, and the hearing on
it's merits could be had before Judge
Clark next week. The order as issued
was a very broad one. 1t enjoined the
defendants from picketing or patrollMg
around the factories of the plaintiffs and
from guarding the doors or the streets
in front of the factories, and from inter-
ferlng in any way with employees now
in the factories, either there or at their
homes, intlmidating their relatives or
members Of their families. It also for
bids the use Of violence, threats or in
timidation to induce any person to leave
the employment Of the plaintiffs or to
prevent any one from entering into their
employment.
Attorneys for the defendants COM
planned that the allowance of a tenn
porary injunction might delay a hear
ing upon it's merits, and Judge Thomp-
son thereupon agreed to hear a motion
in the afternoon to dissolve the tempo
rary injunction. After an extended hear
ing counsel for the plaintiffs consented
to a slight modification of that part of
the order which forbids the defendants
from entering the premises of the plain
tiffs for the purpose Of impeding their
business. A strenuous effort was made
to have stricken out the order against
'picketing," but it was unsuccessful No
further changes were allowed, and the
judge set July 10 for hearing fer a
permanent injunction. The order of ILL
junction names Business Agent Schilling.
who is in charge of the strikers, and a
large number of others connected with
the strike.

e. B. Hollis, chairman Of the executive
committee of the machinists said:
we will take no action in regard to
the injunction. Our men have been eau

the Injunction will not prevent US from
reasoning with the men who take our
places when We meet them on the street
! If they put US in Jail for that then we
! VIII fight the case. The employers have
brought several men here under misrep-
resentation. We talked with those men,
got them to quit and paid their way
