GETS AN INJUNCTION.
Union Pacific Secures Aid From Fed
eral Court In Strike Contest.

Omaha, Sept. 6.-Judgc Mcpherson,
In the Federal Court to-day, on appli-
cation of the Union Pacific Railway
Company, granted n temporary injunc-
tlon restraining the striking shopmen
of that road from placing "pickets"
about the gates and grounds of the
Union Pacific shops. The hearing is
set for September 18th.
The order, which is.,of n sweeping
character, not only restrains the men
from stationinS picEets In the neighbor-
hood of the Union Pacific shops, but
also commands the strikers to refrain
from all threats and acts calculated to
intimidate or interfere with the en-
ployes, agents and officers of the rail-
way company in their duties, or pub
fishing any orders, etc, that Will In any
way hinder or obstruct the company in
the transaction of its business, or ere
ate any feeling or resentment against
the company.
The petition sets forth the various
difficulties under which the Union Pa
cific has been laboring since the strike
began, and that the defendants have
ever since carried on system of at
tack which has nccessitated the use of
n large and costly force of guards; that
the strikers have committed unlawful
and unjustihable assaults; have myad-
ed the property and premises of the
company; have struck and assaulted
guards and employees, and by various
methods intimidated and terroriZed
them and their families, and have
thereby forced new employees to quit
work.
The petition also cites the fact that
the Union Pacific has contracts with
the government for carrying the mails
and Is liable to n heavy penalty for n
failure to keep such contracts, and that
the company Is seriously impeded in
fulfilling these contracts by the vari-
Gus acts of the strikers.
The order is directed against 1i5 per-
sons by name and "all others aiding or
abettlng said defendants, and who
shall have knowledge of the writ or up
ON whom it may be served"
Special reference is made in the
prayer to the International Association
of Machinists, TO L. !. Conlln. first vice
president of the machinists; George
Mulberry, third vice president, and to
Thomas Wilson, fourth vice president.
This actor was taken by the rail-
road because of the assaults made Sun
day by pickets upon two strike break
ers, one of whom was killed. There
had been several minor eases of as
sault up TO Sunday, and the railway
officials had said that If another one
occurred they would seek relief in the
courts.
