 H. R. Fuller, who said he represented the Brotherhoods of Locomotive En- gineers. Firemen and Trainmen-2so.- 900 men-presented what is regarded propositions in evidence, It read:
 we pledge ourselves to such legis- lation as will guarantee to workmen those rights necessary to their indus trial protection, including the right to strike and to induce or persuade other to do so: and to such legislation as will prevent the issuance of restrain Ing orders and injunctions without hearing; and guaranteeing trial by jury to persons accused of contempt of court, if such alleged contempt be not committed in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to obstruct the administration of Justice"
 Tn support of this plank and in ex- p,anatton of the position taken by his organizations, MT. Fuller dwelt at some length on several phases of ths question.

This law, he said, was changed dur ing a codiflcation of the stUtutes
 Mir Fuller made the statement tha. an injunction was in effect law.
