Mr.. Richberg declared in his
opening statement that the acts
involved in the calling and con-
ducting of the strike were entire
ly lawful The restraining order,
he said, was one the court had no
power to issue because, he main
tained, 1t was demonstrations
and violated the Clayton act. If
the bill is stripped of it's conspir-
acy allegations, he continued, all
that is left is bill to enjoin Grim

guarded by federal agents. Secret

ridges and the damaging of many

Labor Denies Conspiracy.
Denying the existence OF such
conspiracy by the railway un-
IONS and demanding that Judge
Wilkerson vacate the injunction,
Attorney Richberg built up his
defense on the grounds that the
government had failed to make a
3ase against the unions, that the
injunction Is In violation of the
Clayton act, and that 1t was OBJ
tanned through misrepresentation

ttves.
Concerning the S a b o I a g q

The position of the shop crafts
regarding vandalism or any acts
of violence In connection with the
strike has been repeatedly stated
from time to time since the in-

"The railway unions have not
only agreed that perpetrators of
