Y, N. H. and H. rallroad for a temporary injunction against {ts striking /shopmen to replace the re- straining order which Judge E. 8. Thomas of the federal court had fs- | sued. The court had ordered the {ssue to be tri>d on its merits. C. J. Danaher of counsel for the strikers at the out- set moved that the application be dismissed, setting forth a number of grounds ‘n support of his claim that there were {rregularities in the serv- ice of the legal papers. Many Arguments Raised. Arguments on the objections which were made both by Mr. Danaher and | Arthur B. O'Keefe occupled the fore- roon sitting. Mr. Danaher claimed | that it was essential to have U. 8. Marshal Walter present. He said | that subpoenas had not been served as required by law and that the court tad ordered return on the subpoenas to be made by August 1. He alleged that if Mr. Walter was present he would prove that the bulk of the writs had not been returned by the date prescribed. There was delay while an effort was made to locate Marshal Walter. He was out of town, however. Judge Thomas ordered that Mr. Danaher's statements as to the date be conceded and that the hearing go on with permission to Sheafe for the railroad company to Isubn\it data to show that Mr. Dana- | ker's objections should not stand in the way of legal procedure and the cese was within the jurisdiction of the court. Postponed to Thursday The next hearing on the application will be held Thursday morning at 10 o'clock at South Norwalk before Judge Thomas. This morning’s session of the hear- ing ended at noon with the under- standing that it was to be resumed at 2 o'clock this atternoon. During the recess, however, counsel for both sides agreed to an adjournment until Thursday. L The chief business of Thursday’s hearing will be the reading into the records of more than 100 affidavits al- leging acts of intimidation and vio- lence on the part of strikers.
