FIRST STEPS TAKEN TODAY
AIM TO RESUME plcKeTlNG

Legal advisors Of the Western Fed
Grafton OF Miners today took their
first steps 10 counteract the effect Of
the sweeping injunction granted Sat-
urday afternoon by Judge p. II.
O'Brien of the twelfth judicial cir
cult, restraining the strikers from
molesting workingmen, interfering
with the operation Of the mines, hold
ing parades during the hours when
men are on their way TO and from
work, picketing and similar activities.
Documents were prepared by Attor-
ncy a. w. Kerr of Calumet asking
both the dissolution of the injunction
and the modification Of IL, the plan
being that the Federation will first
demand that the injunction be wiped
out entirely. and if unsuccessful in
this effort, TO have 1t modified IN many
Of its important features.
Papers will be served this after
noon on parties TO whom the injunc-
ton was granted Saturday. AS the
law stipulates four days must elapse
before an official hearing of the pro-
ceedings just instituted, and II Judge
O'Brien is still in Crystal Falls at the
expiration Of that time, ii is likely
the hearing will be held there.
Although the injunction which IL
now in force stipulates the Western
Federation Of Miners is restrained
from parading during certain hours.
it is generally thought little cognzance
will be taken Of this feature of the in
junction by either side. The Fedora
lion attorneys however, maintain the
wight of the strikers TO maintain pick
cts, even on mine property and To
peaceaOly intercept workmen and
reacea5ly attempt TO dissuade them.
1t is on this point the legal fight
against the Injunction probably will
be centered.
Many Cases Are Postponed.
Practically all of the hearings of
strike cases in the local justice courts.
set for today, We're continued owing
to the inability OF the attorneys on
both sides to take up the cases. The
calendar of cases for each Justice
court is now being arraneed however.
SO that the hearings may proceed
without further delay.
