POSITIONS ARE REVERSED.
Strikers Avail Themselves Of "Govern
ment by Injunction"

ment by Injunction"
Denver, COL, May 14.-The first in
junction as a result of the labor trou-
bles here was issued this afternoon
by Judge John l. Mullins of the dis
trict court at the instance of the Joint
executive committee of the labor un-
ions against the citizens alliance.
1t is practically the same as that
issued by the district court in Omaha
against the business mems organiza-
ton OF that city. 1t restraints the al
lance from threatening or intimidat-
ing members of labor unions or it's
own members, imposing fines for vio-
lation of any agreement not to en-
ploy union labor, collecting or paying
out money in pursuance of any plan
to break up labor unions, attempting
to bride union officers or members,
importing nOn-union labor, bringing
injunction suits against union mem
bers in an effort to break up unions,
and influencing landlords to evict un.
ions from their meeting places.
The Transformers association gave
notice this afternoon that they will
apply to the United States court to-
morrow for an injunction against the
strikers from interfering with their
business.

This evening former Lieutenant
Governor Coates, chairman of the joint
executive committee of organized la
Dor, submitted to the fire and police
board the committees response to
this mornings communication from
the citizens alliance. 1t charges the
alliance with %insincerity and declares
that it will receive no further recog-
milton from the labor committee.
