Against Them.

Against Them.
Chicago. April 29.-FOr the first
time in Chicago since the strike OF the
American Railway Union in 1894 the
government of the United States has
been made party to labor troubles.
The government was brought into the
teamsters' strike by the issuance OF
an Injunction by Judge c. c. Kohlsaat,
Of the United States circuit court,
where It was asked in behalf Of the
Employers leaning Association, on
the ground that the organization is In
corporated under the laws of West
Virginia and is, therefore. under the
protection Of the federal court.
The federal court order commands
that all defendants refrain from any
interference with the business OF the
Employers leaning Association, and
commands the strikers TO refrain from
picketing. massing in streets with In
tent to interfere with the wagons Of
the complainant and from interfering
in any manner with nOn-unioh men In
its employment.
When news of the injunction reach
ed President Shea, of the Transfers
Union. he issued the following order,
signed by the committee of teamsters'
business agents:
"To All Union Teamsters-Permit
no violation Of the peace under any
circumstances. Competent drivers can
not be procured to handle the teams in
Chicago, and violence will not help us
in this strike. Beloyal to your union
and obey its instructions"
