SWEEPING INJUNCTION
To Prevent Kansas City Drivers from
Obstructins Business.

Kansas City, Mo, March 13.-Judge
John +. Phillips in the United States
district court. this afternoon, issued a
sweeping injunction restraining all
members of the local Team Drivers In
ternational Union, from interfering
with the business of IL of the transfer
companies of the city whose men are
on strike. The IL companies petit
toned the court to restrain the strik-
crs and their sympathizers on the
ground that interference with wagons
on the way to the depots and shipping
yards is in violation of the interstate
commerce laws.
The plaintiffs argued that goods are
in transit in the meaning of the law
from the moment they are loaded into a
wagon when a receipt is given by the
Transfer Co. and this contention was
upheld by the court. The injunction
which is temporary one, is made re-
turnable on March 20.
In the bottoms, today, 10 striker'
were arrested for stoning a driver and
blockading the thoroughfare and it be-
came necessary for the police to dis
Later, as many more men were ar
rested for obstructing the sidewalks
and a charge of disturbing the peace
was placed against them.
The leaders of the strike assert that
they are gaining strength and thai
other trades will go out in their support

soon.

New York, March 13.-Scntimcnt in Wall

was in force. The movement did not dis.
play much vitality and was mostly cen

fact that professional traders found that

A DEADLOCK
On the Wage Scale in the Altoona, Pa.
Mining District.

Altoona. Pa, March 13.-The coal
operators and miners of the bituminous
district No. are dcadloCked on the
wage scale. An amendment to admit
boys under 16 years of age met with
serious objection, but as the national
organization permits the admission of
boys under 16. it was decided to allow
the amendment to pass.
The joint scale committee met, to-
day.
The operators are resisting the 20
per cent. increase demanded by the
miners and instead offer 10 per cent
increase. The operators also strcnu-
ously object to the 10 per cent. differ
entail and the S-hour day. No pro-
grcss toward the adjustment of those
disputed points was made at the morn
ing session. The whole matter was re-
fcrrcd back to the joint conference OF
miners and operators. At this confer
cncc National President Mitchell Ma
tional Secretary Wilson and others
spoke on behalf OF the miners
Mr. Mitchell said the miners made q
mistake in not asking for a 80 per cent
increase. for if they had done so the
operators would willingly have giver
them Il 25-per cent. increase.
