Complexities Situation.
None Of the members of the Bust
ness Mems Association could be seen
and any plan of action they may form
ulate will come up later. The situation
is now considered most serious one,
what, with nearly $500 men on strike
or locked out and large number of
business establishments, including 1s
iaundries, closed, has brought the
business of the city almost to stand
STILL
Judge Dickinson, who issued the
injunction, has been on the district
bench for ten years and is considered
one of the most able and conservative
jurists in the state. He is at this time
in charge Of the law docket, and his
decisions on points of equity before
the law have been considered as
authoritative in the legal world. The
decision is more peculiar because of
the fact three district court judges on
Monday enjoined the walters union
from all acts tending to hamper the
business of the restaurant proprietors.
