ORDER DOES NOT
AFFECT new ULM
FEDERAL JUDGE BOOTH DOES
NOT INCLUDE NEW ULM
IN INJUNCTION.
COURT HELD THAT THERE HAD
BEEN NO TROUBLE AMONG
STRIKERS HERE.

Judge William F. Booth in United
States District Court in Minneapoli=
last Friday granted the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway company tenn
porary injunction against striking shop
men at Waseca and Tracy, but re-
fused to make the order applicable to
the striking employees of the company
at New Ulm, Sleepy Eye and Mankato
No Trouble Here.
The court held that there had been
no trouble or interference here which
should cause even a temporary injuhc-
tion to be issued as it is a we'll known
fact that the striking shopmen Of New
Ulm have conducted dignifed and
peaceful strike. The picketing at New
Ulm has been conducted peacefully
and at no time have the strikers lost
their heads, as is so often the case in
a strike. The conduct of strikers at
Sleepy Eye and Mankato has likewise
been perfectly legal even within the
strictest Interpretation of the law by
courts who do not at all lean towards
labor. ...1..'.
Hearing Today.
Hearing of the restraining orders
granted five railroads were continued
by Judge Booth until ten a. m. today.
The railroads concerned are the North
western, the Milwaukee, the 500 line,
the Great Western, the Omaha and the
Northern Pacific.
Local Men Stand Pat.
Rumors were afoat last Thursday
that some of the New Ulm shop men
now out on strike were getting cold
feet and would return to work on Fri
day morning. Inquiry made from the
men directly brought the reply that
all was we'll all along the line with
everybody holding tight. eve. are
prepared to stay out for at least six
months if necessary, said one of the
NEW Olm SnOp men.
Peaceful Persuasion Legal.
Federal Judge Charles Amidson, in
instructing deputy United States mar
shals at Fargo, North Dakota, last
Thursday afternoon, declared that
striking railway employees cannot be
prevented from entering the grounds
of the railway companies to attempt
to persuade employees to join them in
the strike.
1T is against the law for the rail
way companies to segregate their new
employees by surrounding them by
armed detectives" he declared. ''The
workers are allowed, by law, to attempt
peaceful persuasion Of the strike break
ers to join the strike, and to 60 on the
property OF the roads to carry invita-
tions to the new workers to attend
strikers meetings where the cause o1

Injunction is Two-edged.
Injunctions against strikers ISSUED
by federal judges in Minnesota proved
double-edged sword in at least ont
instance, according to the Minnesota
Daily Star. The court order prevented
the strikers from helping in clearin,

Engine Goes of Track.
''When we first went out on strike
we notified the management that W
would respond to calls where ther
were wrecks, said J. R. Powers
secretary of the strike committee Q
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Pau
road. Wednesday night just as pas
senger No. 18 was leaving the 81
Paul station for the coast, engine Nc
GIL jumped the track. Officials sen
for us to help out and our men wer
on the verge Of complying with tn
request. Then they remembered tha
the company enjoined us from comm
upon railroad property.
"We could not help on the wrec
without going on their proerty. w
could not 60 on their property with
out violating the Injunction. Since "
are law-abiding citizens, we did nc
go and help clean up the wreck" h
