while do not wish to state
that local striking shopmen will
resort to violence or do anything
unlawful I feel that the attitude
taken by the administration will
be strongly resented" re said.
We will continue to hold meet
ings as usual. The men have al
ways conducted themselves in an
orderly fashion at these gather
ings. and have done nothing to
warrant interference"
Brunson said the only effect the
Injunction could have would be to
awe" and perhaps brighten" a
few strikers into leaving town
or hiding under the bed"
"T am positive" he declared,
that no one will join the forces
of the railroads"
According to Charles A. Frazier,
business agent for the striking Z
shopmen. the injunction has not af-
fected local strikers in the least,
and as yet they have paid no at
tention to IL.
THE injunction will have to be
served on union officials before we
do anything and in the meantime
We will continue to go along just
as before. holding a meeting every
morning" he said.
