WASHINGTON, D. C.-Special.-An
unusual announcement came from the
American Federation of Labor Friday
Court for striking a blow at abuses Of
the writ OF injunction. This changing
OF the rules in regard to the Issuing OF
preliminary injunctions and temporary
vision OF the proceedings in equity
cases In Federal courts, announced by
Chief Justice White only a few days
ago. The new rules adopted by the
Supreme Court restrict the issuing OF
preliminary in1unctions without notice
to the party enjoined.
Here is the formal comment that
came from the American Federation OF
Labor on the action OF the Supreme
Court:
That the influence, attitude and re-
monstrances of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor against the abuse by the
Federal judges of the inJunctive writ in
labor disputes has finally had its effect
United States is evident. For many
months the judges of the Supreme
Court OF the United States have been
at work upon new set of rulesS gov
erning practice before the courts of
equity In the United States. On No
vember 4th the result OF the con-
illusions OF the judges was promul-
gated in a public document. While
the rule put forth by the United States
Supreme Court In preliminary iniunc-
does not meet with the approval OF the
American Federation of Labor, vet the
action taken in prescribing the prac-
tice relative to these writs is a step in
the right direction"
Here is the new rule laid down by
the Supreme Court on injunctions:
