NO WEAKENING
Shown by Either Side in Boston
Teamsters Strike.
Everything Now Depends on 1oday's
Hearing on Permanent Injunction.
Almost Every Labor Union in City Upholds
Teamsters and Votes Aid.

Boston, Jan. 26-To all the partici-
pants in the stirring events that have
attended the strike of transfers dur
ing the past week, Sunday has proved
a great boom. as it brought that re-
taxation of which every one was great
~ in need and furnished an opportunity
of taking more calm and comprehen-
sive view of the situation. ..-,--.----
Not the slightest evidence of weaken
ing is apparent upon either side, and
all eyes are looking to Judge Braley of
the superior court, before whom the APP
plication of the r. S. Brine Transporta-
ton Co. for an injunction to restrain
the union officials and members from
interfering with it's business in any
way, or from ordering a sympathetic
strike. will be heard upon its merits at
? o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
The temporary restraining order
granted, Friday, by Judge Braley had
the effect of checking in large degree
interference by the crowds at the move
ments of Brine's teams. yesterday. and
the union men are under strict orders
from their officials to carry out the
Judges order to the letter, but should
this temporary injunction be vacated,
tomorrow, there is no telling what
scenes of violence may result.
Counsel for Union % and the men
named in the injunction have filed re-
ply to the prayer for injunction made
to the court by the Brine Co. Denial Is
made to nearly every allegation in the
injunction, in short that the defend
ants impeded or prevented in any way
the pdaintiff from employing men or
that they patrolled the streets or that
they attempted to boycott the Brine
Co., or that they entered into a con-
spiracy to ruin the company's business.
Although the streets presented their
usual Sunday appearance the great
body of laboring men have by no means
been idle, today. and nearly every labor
union represented in the Allied Freight
Transportation Council held meetings
in their respective halls at which the
strike in all it's bearings was warmly
discussed.
The r. s. Brine Transportation Co.
and the police were roundly denounced,
while the course of Transfers Union
No. 25 was endorsed and financial aid
for the union and for the purpose of
contesting the injunction in court, was
voted by every union.
The police secured a much needed
rest, today. after their arduous and try
ing duties of the past six days, but
in the slightest, tomorrow, and the
same protection will be furnished the
Brine teams that has proved so effec-
tive thus far during the strike.
