 tertering or Intlmldatlng
SITUATION IS UNCHANGED
President Flynn Says the Union Will Fight the Injunction on the Same | Grounds as the One In
 the U. s. Court.

The Pioneer Mining and Manufacturing company, which, is operated by the Re- public Iron and Steel company. secured an injunction in Chancellor John c. Car michsels court yesterday. covering prac- tically the same ground as that issued by Judge Thomas G. Jones In the United States court at Montgomery.
 On account of the Pioneer Mining and Manufacturing company having been chartered in the state of Alabama 1t had to seek relief in state court. and not in the federal court as is the case with foreign corporations such as the Tennes- see company, the Sloss-sheffield company and the Lacey-Buek company.
 The injunction in directed against Ed ward Flynn. William R. Farley. II. F. Chapman. C. F. Dodd, Louis Ambrose, John Tate. Will Early and Jack Nixon, as officers and members of the organization of District No. 20, United Mine Workers of America, and against their associates generally.
 The Restraining Order. The restraining order was issued as a result of petition filed by attorneys for the company and enjoins the members and officers of the United Mine Workers from entering or trespassing upon the property of complainant, from interfering In any manner with complainant's agents, serv- ants or employees; from abusing and in timidatlng persons in complaiuants em- ploy from gathering In crowds on or near the premises of complainant with show of force and arms from inducing em- ployes of complainant to 1eave it's service; from exploding firearms and dynamite and from pointing said firearms at persons in the employ of complainant; from patrol ling the roads leading to and from the mines and works of complainant; from assembling at or near the passenger sta ton at Republic for the purpose of intim- .dating persons from entering the employ of complainant, etc, etc.
 Union VIII Contest.
 The writ was served on Erward Flynn, president of District No. 20, late yester- day afternoon, but he was reluctant to discuss it.
 "win you fight the injunction in the courts,p was asked.
 Most assuredly we will" replied MT l Flynn. "Our answer will be practically the same as that to be filed in the Uni' ted States court at Montgomery. l dc not think an injunction at all necessary as the miners, to my knowledge, have mol been guilty of lawless acts. There was ample remedy in the courts If acts oi lawlessness have been committed.
 'The situation is practically unchang' ed" continued MT. Flynn, "and we arc having no assertions from the unior | ranks. The men are firm in their deter imitation to have their demands granted The union Is caring for all men who arc out on the strike and 80 far we have heard no complaints"
 MT. Maben. president of the sloss com pany, says that the output of coal scored another increase yesterday and that ev- cry day Is adding to the success of op- erations under the open shop basis,
