effective.
They have already determined, voted
and resolved among themselves that the
said strike shall become effective, ana
that the preparations therefore by the
defendants shall continue, and they are
about to send out messages announcing
and declaring to the members of the In
ternational Union. United Mine Work
ers of America and to the local and
district unions thereof that the said
strike shall be enforced and become
effective, as previously announced, at
midnight Of October 81, 1919. The vari-
Gus members of the said union and the
local and district unions thereof are now
awaiting the issuance of such messages
by the defendants in order to determine
whether or not the members OF the
said unions shall cease work at midnight
on October 81. The issuance OF such
messages will render the strike effec-
tive at the time mentioned and will rem
der II much more difficult to terminate
the strike by the return OF the miners
to work after having ceased work than
Il would be to prevent the effective or
Grafton of the strike II the messages
we're not issued, in which event large
numbers Of the members OF the SAID
union would In all probability not cease
work The aforesaid messages will be

Danger of Further Orders.
Unless so restrained the defendants
will issue further orders essential to
| rendering effective and maintaining the
| said strike and cessation from work,
| without which orders such strike would
| not continue effective and the men would
return to work. The defendants will
also, unless so restrained, proceed to
distribute strike benefits as aforesaid to
| the various miners and mine workers
en- strike so as to compensate them for
their loss. of wages while on strike.
Thus the defendants will render effective
and maintain the said strike. and they
will thus stop the production and dis
tribution of bituminous coal through
out the country SO as to paralyze the
industries of the country and to throw
large numbers Of workmen into en-
forced idleness and to cause widespread
suffering from cold and to disrupt the
operation of the railroads OF the country
by the PLAINTIFF, the United States oil
America, and to require the plaintiff to
msst the resultant deficiencies in rail-
road operating revenues by disburse
ments out of the public treasury al
aforesaid. The plaintiff is without ade
quate remedy in the premises to pre-
vent the bringing about Of such catastro
