Strikers That They
Must Obey His Order
CASE TO BE TRIED

United States Circuit Judge Morrow
yesterday issued an order restraining
the Sailors Union, the Marine Fire
mems Union, the Marine Cooks and
Stewards Association, Andrew Furu-
seth, Walter Macarthur and others from
further interference with the vessels or
employees of the Hammond Lumber
Company until the hearing of the mo-
tion for the permanent injunction next
Monday at 10 a m
Andrew Furuseth of the Pacific Coast
Scamen's Union and the secretary Of
the Marine Firemen's Union were in
court when the order was made and
started to go out of the room in ad-
vance of their attorney, W. H. Hutton,
who had refused to accept service Of
the order on behalf OF his clients. Henry
Ach of counsel for the lumber COM
pany called Judge Morrow's attention
to the presence of the two secretaries
Ia court. AS they were leaving the
room Judge Morrow said to them that
the fact that they were in court when
the order was made was sufficient no.
tice to them. and that any violation Of
the restraining order by them would be
severely dealt with.
Attorney Hutton, on the opening Of
the proceedings, asked for a contin-
uance, but the request was stoutly op-
posed by Henry Ach and Charles Page,
who filed a stack Of affidavits setting
forth that since the commencement Of
the action the Sailors Union pickets
had boarded the stOam schooner Ra-
valli on her arrival from Eureka on
the evening of July IL and had abused
and intimidated the passengers and
crew so that they remained on board
all night. fearing great bodily harm
and possibly death should they venture
to land in the darkness.
-
clerk for the lumber company. was that
on the arrival of the Ravalli, as stated.
the striking sailors used vile and filthy
language in the presence and hearing
OF seven women passengers, and made
threats against passengers and crew
alike. Owing to this demonstration the
passengers and crew were afraid to go
ashore and remained on the vessel all
night. Horsfall deposed further that
such acts on the part of the defendants
had a tendency to deter people from
taking passage on board the vessels OF
the complainant or from tntrusttnS
freight to be carried by them. and that
If persisted in would prevent the COM
plainant from doing any business at all.
Captain Oscar Johnson. master OF the
Ravalli, deposed that on July 3, while
leaving this port for Eureka. gang of
striking sailors in two gasoline
launches attempted to board his vessel.
and that he was obliged to exhibit a
revolver to keep them OF. On that oc-
casion they called him the vtlest OF
names. On July II. on the arrival OF
the Ravalli from Eureka, the strikers
attempted TO board the vessel, and
called the women passengers names
implying that they were lewd persons,
and also used vile language toward the
captain and crew.
Affidavits of similar tenor were read
from George Fisher. guard on the
schooner Arctic; J. w. Coggeshall, quar-
termaster Of the Ravalli; Walter Shep-
ard OF the steam schooner Northland;
Lars Nelson, master OF the Arctic; Max
Pringle.' guard OF the Arctic, and 9TH
ers These were followed by a general
affidavit by the ship owners to the er-
feet that the sailors. marine iremen
and others OF the defendants had en-
tered into an unlawful conspiracy TO
intimidate crews from serving on board
their vessels and to frignten passengers
and shippers from doing business with
them.
