The Injunction Is granted at the request of the Walters' . union, and Is calculated -to place the employers In a position al- most Identical with that of the strikers one of defense. Judge Dickinson signed the order without comment, and It Is being be-ing served on the persons against whom It Is directed tonight. While It concerns directly only the Waiters' onion. It Is . ' raUy Intended to serve as a guide to the future action of all the other unions whose nst-mbers are on strike. Jud?e Dickinson, who Issued the injunction, in-junction, has been on the District bench for ten years, and is considered one of the most able and conservative Jurists in the State. He Is at this time in charge of the law docket, and his decision on -points of equity before the law have been considered as authoritative In the legal , world. The decision Is more peculiar be--cause of the fact that three District court Judges yesterday enjoined the Walters' union from all acts tending to hamper the business of the restaurant proprietors |
