Business of indianapolis Drop Forg-
ing Company Must Not Be OBJ
structed, the Court Says.
PEACEFUL PICKETING LEGAL
1T MUST BE DONE WITHOUT UlsDUE
ANNOYANCE TO COMPANY.
Testimony Tends to Show that Strik-
ers Have Kept Within the Law
Text of Order.

Room 8, yesterday decided the application
for a temporary injunction of the Indian
apolis Drop Forging Company against
White River Lodge of the international
Association of Machinsts by issuing a
temporary injunction against the members
of the Machinists Union.
A restraining order preventing the strik-
ing machinists at the Drop Forging Com
pany's plant from interfering with the
workmen there was granted on Nov. 5
and had been in force until yesterday. The
temporary injunction relieves it and en-
joins the strikers in much the same terms
as the restraining order with the excep-
ton that ii permits the establishment of
a limited number of pickets if the pickets
are orderly and do not violate the law.
The case was heard in the courtroom
week ago and much testimony submitted
to the court by the plaintiff, the forging
company, to show that the strikers were
interfering with its interests by the pro-
tracted strike and lockout. The evidence
Of the defense tended to show that the
strikers were within the bounds of the
law and merely prosecuting lockout in
accordance with the purposes Of organized
labor.
