SWEEPING STRIKE ORDER
On application made by the attor
neys for the Cudahy, Swift, Armour
and Omaha packing companies, Judge
W. H. Munger of the United States
court at Omaha July 20, issued a tem
porary restraining order against the
former employes of these packing
houses who are now on a strike. This
order is saldto he "one of the most
comprehensive documents of its kind
ever issued by the United States court
for the Omaha district.
The Omaha World-Herald referring
to the order says:
"It restrains the men from the
threats, intimidations, acts of violence,
etc., and further restrains them from
congregating in greater numbers than
two, from picketing, stopping or per
suading not to work those who wish
to go to work in the packing plants,
and also from visiting the homes of
the workers for the purpose of in
timidating their families.
"The petition recites at great length
the allegations of the packers. It
states that the strikers congregute in
large crowds day and night for the
purpose of preventing non-union men
from going to work m the packing
plants. These crowds are declared to
vary from 300 to 1,600 men at a time.
The usual methods of picketing, stop
ping and persuading the non-union
workers are described. It is also
alleged that the strikers are prevent
ing union men, who have grown tired
of the strike, from returning to work.
The petition declares that many per
son not belonging to the unlon3 and
who have not been employes of the
packing plants, have associated them
selves with the strikers for the pur
pose of intimidating and committing
acts of violence.
"It is alleged in the petition that
200 union men on the night of July
15 stopped a freight car and forced
non-union men to leave the car, stat
ing that unless they did so their lives
would be taken. Several other in
stances of alleged violence and intimi
dation are cited.
"The text of the restraining order is
as follows:
"And all other members of said un
ions and persons associated with them,
whose names are to tne complainants
unknown and each of you, as indi
viduals, and as members of the several
unions or lodges above set forth, and
