STATE TO STOP PICKETING
Wyandotte Decoration on Strength of
Federal Court Ruling.


E. A. Enright, county attorney of
Wyandotte county, has been instruct
ed by state officials to enforce pro-
visions of the Industrial court law in
event r. E. James attempts to en-
force a picketing decree against the
Missouri Pacific railroad. James has
issued a declaration which is in eff
feet an order to picket the Kansas
City shops of the Missouri Pacific
James is a labor leader.
Recently the federal court issued an
injunction against all action to pre-
vent shop work except peaceful pick
citing. James and his attorney claim
that the order overrides the state in
dustrial court law which prohibits all
forms of picketing. In consequence
the Kansas City labor leader has
asked strikers to picket the Missouri
Pacific shops. The state will inter
vene on the theory that it has a right
to enforce provisions of its own en-
actment.
