Situation in Omaha.
Omaha, Neb., May 7.-Judge Munger
today modified the injunction against
the Tean1sters' Union. One section
which restrained the union from con-
tinuing their organization and con-
ducting business. was SO sweeping as
to prevent the men from holding meet
ings, employing counsel or even declar-
ing the strike off. The judge eliminated
all these provisions, but the remainder
of the order remains unchanged. Fewer
teams are working today than yester-
day.
Judge Munger's order forbid th+
Transfers Union and its members to
picket the streets, stop non union
teamsters or congregate on the streets
or in the vicinity of certain places of
business or offices, or to act in any
way that would tend to intimidate or
cserce the employees of the plaintiffs
into quitting work.
This action was the result of de-
termination on the part of the Busi-
ness Mems Association to invoke the
aid of federal troops in the protection
of non- union teamsters in case of any
trouble with the strikers The mem
bers of the association fear to place re-
lance in the National Guard, and in
case of the violation of this injunction
they feel that the federal government
will assist them.

practically identical with that re-
quested by the employers. 1t is di-
