Its Full Enforcement Will Mean an Basy Victory for the Metropoli- tan Company in Less Than a Week. s SEEPSRIEAES KANSAS CITY, Mo., May eral authorities found alleged cause for interfering this evening in the streetcar strike inaugurated this morning by the union employes of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company. Judge William C. Hook of Leavenworth, Kans., sitting in Kansas City, issued from the United States District Court topnight an injunc- tion that is more absolute and sweeping in its terms than any injunction ever be- fore secured in this district in a conten- tion between labor and capital. The injunction is made absoiute for a week, the matter being set for a hearing on Saturday next, and if its restrictions shall be observed by the strikers the Met- ropolitan Company has its tight won, for hands are tied for seven days snd in the meantime the Metropol- itan Company can go about the reorgan- ization of its disrupted forces. The injunction 18 predicated upon the fact that several of the persons com- plained against as threatening the inter- ests of the company are residents of other States and the further fact that the strikers threaten to prevent the company from carrying out iis contract with the United States Government to transport the city mail carriers to and from their routes. Harry Bryan, the national organizer of the Amalgamated Association, described as a resident of Michigan, is one of the parties enjoined and the others named are twenty-three local leaders of the union, several of whom are mentioned as residents of Ohio and Kansas. The Injunction restrains the persons named and all o from in any manner directly or stopping or inter ing with the running of cars on the lines cf the Metropoiitan Company; enjoins g, as 15 or in any manner interfering with any may be in the emplo he ngaged in the operation of a streetcar; n men and all others from atroling the carhouses, stop- tations, t or approaches i g in large numbers in | of the places named, or terous noises in’ the yose of inter- | he injunction even goes further than and enjoins any concerted action to v act or annoyance which will assist in stepping the operation of the cars or interfering in any v an em- ploye in moving mail_carrier or a me carry a or upon ish to rid The restrictions not only apply to Or- ganizer Harry Bryan and the twenty-two men named but to all others who may be acting in concert with them after the en- tering of this injunction.
