j. 6. MARSHAL IS
CONF |DENT THAT
PEACE Is SAT- {
Believes Union Men Under
stand Federal Court Or
der and Will Obey It;
1920 Strikers Are Served.

The federal court order restrict
ing picketing was served here yes
terday by United States Marshal
Secundino Romero and his dcpu-
ties on leaders and members of
the striking shop crafts unions and
a number of their sympathizers,
Marshal Romero left last night for
Santa Fe. He will return to-
morrow.
In charge of the deputies here.
who number between 10 and 20,
are Deputy United States Marshal
Deputy United States Marshal
Thomas Stewart, who is regularly
stationed here. Former service
men are being given the prefer
ence in the appointment of dep
uties.
Mr.. Romero last night said that
he did not anticipate any trouble
in the enforcement Of the order,
as he had explained it to the strik-
ers in both English and Spanish
at their meeting yesterday morn
ing. He said the men thanked
him for his explanation, and prom
ised cooperation. The orders
We're posted on the walls and
gates of the santa Fe shops here.
The order, as has been stated in
the Journal before, prevents pick
citing or congregating on company
property; intimidation; conspir-
ing to impede the business of the
road; and doing or threatening
violence to railway employees or
property. 1t was said last night
that the railway station and plat
forms are considered to be RAY
way property.
May BE Statewide
The order was made applica-
BILE to the national officers of the
unions involved, local officers, ana
many members and strike sympa-
thizers who are not members. The
union officers in other cities uf
the state have not been singled out
for service, according to Captain
w. C. Reid, New Mexico solicitor
for the Santa Fe, since no numer-
GUS acts OF violence have occurred
at other Santa Fe shop points in
New Mexico. A alleged act Of
violence was reported yesterday
from Las Vegas and is being in
vestigated
Captain Reid said many strike
leaders in Albuquerque had con-
WINGED him that the acts of viO-
lence reported here had been done
against their advice and wishes.
He praised these men for their
stand against rough tactics, Be-
cause the justice courts had seen
fit to impose penalties that he be-
lieved too light for the offenses,
since many of them in his belief
might have led to serious rioting,
Captain Reid said conditions here
were rapidly drifting toward ser-
ious lawlessness. 1t was for this
reason that the railway asked for
the restraining order, coupled with
tho request of the men at work
here that they may be given great-
er protection.
No violence of any kind was re-
ported yesterday.
May Oppose Injunction
NO announcement has been
made by the unions as to whether
they will appear at the hearing
in Santa Fe at which they have an
opportunity to show cause why
The order should not be made per-
1t is Understood, how
ever, that they will endeavor to
show that reports or fawlessness
here have been greatly exaggerat-
ed, and that in many instances
men were arrested on trivial
grounds.
Sheriff Tony Ortiz said yester-
lay that the presence here of
ieputy U. S. marshals and the
existence of the restraining order
would not prevent his office from
it's efforts to preserve
order. While all persons hereaf-
er arrested on charges of violent
conduct will have to appear in
Santa Fe on charges of contempt
If q federal court order, they will
rot thereby escape prosecution in
he local courts.
