BY A NEW JERSEY JUDGE.
STRIKERS MUST NOT TALK
To Employees Of a SILK Manufacturing
Company, or Offer Them Money
to Quit Work--Picketing
Is Prohibited.

Philipsburg. N. j., Jan. 16.--One of

ton of the Standard Silk Co., whose

tion is temporary, but goes into eff

than 100 people in and out of the
unions from causing or attempting to
cause by threats, or offers of money
to pay expenses, or to offer any other
inducement or persuasion whatever
to cause any employe of the mill to
break his contract with the company,
and from addressing persons en-
ployed at the mill contrary to their
will, or lettering or picketing on the
streets near the mill, or on the
streets of the town along which Il is
necessary for employees of the mill to
pass on their way to and from work.
The Injunction puts stop to all
threats and intimidations or violence
to persons employed, or those likely
to be employed by the company. and
prevents the strikers and their friends
from interfering with any tradesman
or storekeeper doing business with
the Standard Co or its employees, or
interfering with boarding house keep
ers with whom employees are staying.
