 Fred Cedarholn. organizer for the International Association of Machin- tsts, says: T don't see how a judge can order 500,000 men back to work. I think he is usurping power never granted to him.
 If I had anything to do in such a situation I would tell the men to hold to what they had decided to do re- gardIess of any judge or number of judges
 This injunction is an infringement of the individual rights of the men which is guaranteed by the Constitu- ton of the United States.
 John J. O'Neil, president of Lodge No. 116, says that labor in Bridge port is going to do all 1t can to back the strikers.
 A call has been issued to all locals of the International Association of Machinists to take a secret vote on a general strike Of thu nachinists of the country as a protest against the so-called Cummings bill which is now pending in Congress and which con- tains Q provision making 1t a crirn- :nal offense to strike.
