Judge Munger discovered Thursday morn
ing after having granted the injunction
against the Team Drivers International
union that he had practically dissolved the
union as an organization and hastened to
| change the faulty paragraph. Beyond the
! omission of the portion relating to this mat
ter no change was made OF any moment.

thought and attention to the legal side of

have proven very drastic to the union. The
order had already been published by the
clerk Of the circuit court in pamphlet form
and the copies we're taken back to the
printer and the page containing the fourth
/ paragraph re-reprinted.
The fourth paragraph as it now stands is

Moves Toward Settlement.
Mayor Moores and Chief of Police Dona-
hue have addressed themselves in earnest
to inducing a settlement OF the present
controversies. They met yesterday with
the executive committee OF the Business
Mems association, which organization, frou
its members, is understood to be thor

sible date. The coal dealers in theiI
association have held two meetings. ant
on the other hand the strikers have beer
J in secret session at various times during
the day. Public statements are being gen
orally withheld by all the factions involN cd
. as this is believed to be the best meant
. of conserving the vital Interests at stake
! Mayor Moores, In answer to some ques
tions as to the conference with the bust
ness men, said matters were entirely TOT
important and delicate to nc aired in publi
, interviews, and as he was Ten. on but ont

, selling liquor has brought forth genera
approval and Is having a splendid effect ol
the correct progress of affairs. The mayo
reiterated his determination yesterda
, to continue the rigid enforcement OF thi
order until things had reached a stage tha

with the imperative necessity OF peace an
harmony between the employer and hi
. international vice president, Thomas A
Coleman OF st. Louis, and that Of tn
employe and the restoration Of norma
business conditions, the mayor and chic
of police apparently have the symapth
and co-operation OF the great mass OF peo

the present affair Upon the basis of thes

q No Activity Among Employers.
d Few of the transfer companies yesteT
: day were moving wagons, and as far a
could be learned no more of the coal com
i panies had started their teams All ar
d waiting for developments. The importa
y tion Of nonunion teamsters and other work
d men seems to have attained no considerabl
h proportions. This is based upon state
,e ments from both sides. On this theory th
IT freight handlers are calling out no MOI
d OF their men. The increasing gravity

of puted to 1t by certain published repor
that the ice wagon drivers were to
called out, after their employers had signe
the union scale and the street car me
l. called out, was unwarranted, according
nf emphatic statements Of the strikers. Fro
e all that can be gathered the strike seen
TO have reached a stage OF stagnation. Bot
