The striking stablemen heard of the
injunction restraining them from ha-
RAISING the Nevada Stables at about 6
o'clock yesterday evening. Their
nightly parade was omitted and their
pickets were called in from their posts
before the stables. The enforced with
drawal of the boycott was accepted
quietly on the surface. but individual
remarks from the strikers showed that
Judge Hunts decision was very un-
popular. There is nothing to prevent
the seventy other stable owners who
advocate "open shop" from obtaining
the same relief from the boycott
The Stablemen's Union held meet
ing last night in the Foresters' build
ing, at which they decided to stand
firm, providing they receive financial
aid from other unions.
