OMAHA. May 12. Judge Dickinson, In the District Court, at 7 o'clock tonight, on application of John O. Yciser, an attorney representing the waiters' unions whose members are on strike. Issued an Injunction against the business men and proprietors, even more sweeping than that issued by the Federal Court against the unions last week. The order restrains the business men from refusing to sell goods to dealers who employ union labor; prevents them from boycotting union labor; requires the Business Men's Association to cease hold ing meetings, or conspiring against the unions, or in any -way interfering with the unions in the management of their affairs. The order restrains the Business Men's Association and others named as defend ants as follows: First From in any manner threatening to injure the business or person of any employer of members of cross-complainant union or member of labor union, or any person -who may employ or desire to employ such union men, or from refusing to sell commodities and supplies of mer chandise to employers or such union labor, and from discriminating against such per sons' in the prices charged for any such commodities. Second From, threatening or Intimidat ing, in any manner, any person into join ing the said Business Men's Association or any organization. Third From threatening or Intimidating any person who has become a member of slid association or organization, if ho employs organized labor or, recognizes labor unions, into discontinuing such em ployment. Fourth From imposing any fines upon its members or any person .for violating any agreement not to employ organized labor, or not to recognize a labor union. Fifth From receiving or paying out any money -whatever in pursuance of any agreement to break up labor unions, ex cepting to attorneys in this action. Sixth From paying or offering any money to officers or members of unions, directly or indirectly, as a bribe to do or not to do any act in pursuance of any agreement with any of said defendants against such unions. Seventh From importing or engaging agents and servants to Import any labor ers into the City of Omaha or State of Nebraska Jn pursuance of any existing plan to destroy labor organizations, or under any similar or new arrangement or plan. Eighth From bringing any other injunc tion suits or actions, in pursuance of any general plan of prosecutions to break up labor unions, or of any new or similar plans connected directly or Indirectly with an existing plan. The injunction applies to about 50 Indi vidual proprietors of concerns whose busi ness comes in contact with the strike. The injunction was granted at the re quest of the Waiters' Union, and is cal culated to place the employers in a posi tion almost Identical with those of the strikers one of defense. Judge Dickinson, -who Issued the injunc tion, is considered one of the most able and conservative jurists in the state. The decision is more peculiar because of the fact that three District Court Judges yes terday enjoined the Walters' Union from all acts tending to hamper the business of the restaurant proprietors. TO ORGANIZE AGAINST UXIOXS. New York Ilnildlng- Firms Plan, an Af??rcslve Fight. ' NEW YORK, May 12. The most Import tant development In the strike situation today was the expressed intention of the building trades concerns, composed of the most prominent firms in the building busi ness in Manhattan and the Bronx, and the Iron League, which includes most of the employers of ironworkers in this vicinity, to unite for united and aggressive action against the demands of the labor organ izations. More than 100.000 workers will be affected by the action of the employers. While some Instances of violence oc curred among the strikers in Brooklyn, an understanding was reached between a committee of the Central Federated Union and the leaders of the striking rockmen and excavators that the men on the sub way shall return to work tomorrow. The governors of the Building Trades Association met today and practically de cided to form a union similar to the labor union. The Iron League also held a meeting and took action upon the strike of the inside architectural Ironworkers. On Monday the inside architectural Ironworkers in 11 of the smaller shops went on strike, and this was followed by most of the concerns locking their men out. It Is estimated that through the strike and lockout about 60,000 men are out. The Masons' Contractors' Association met tonight and Indorsed the action taken by the governors of the building trades in .calling for a general meeting of thos3 en gaged in the building business. Laundries Decide to lie-Open. OMAHA, Neb., May 12. There was a material increase in the number of wag ons running today. Deputy Sheriffs ac companied the wagons, but no attempts were made to molest drivers, At a meeting today of the laundry pro prietors it was decided to open the laundries Thursday. The locked-out em ployes will be given an opportunity to return to work, and in case of their re fusal to do so. new ones will be secured. For the strikers. It was given out that the fight would be carried to the ex treme, and that other union men, perhaps the barbers and street-car employes, may bo asked to strike in sympathy." Restaurants' Bread Supply Cut Off. KANSAS CITY, May 12. A new feature In the waiters' 'strike in this city Is the refusal of the bakery drivers to deliver to nonunion restaurants. The order will af fect every member of the Restaurant Men's Protective Association, of which there are 4S. Small restaurants, which buy oil their pastry from the bakeries, will suffer most, as the larger concerns bake most of their own supplies. RAILROAD STANDS FIRM GREAT NORTHERN IGNORES ULTI 2IATU3I OF MEN. of the boiler-makers, may also be pre3- St. Paul and Minneapolis Business Men Will To to Bring About Pence Today. ST. PAUL, May 12. The newest develop ment in the negotiations going on between the Great Northern and a committee rep resenting its trainmen was the announce ment tonigbt that a joint committee from the St. Paul Jobbers Union and the Min neapolis Chamber of Commerce will meet -with the committee and the railway offi cials 'tomorrow morning In an endeavor to harmonize matters and if possible avert a strike, which they deem would be disas trous to the business Interests of the Northwest. Meantime both sides are preparing for what seems to be the Inev itable outcome of the deadlock in the ne gotiations. Confirmation was bad here tonight of re ports from other cities that the Great Northern had opened recruiting offices and was contracting for trainmen to take the place of their present employes in case of a strike. The men also say they are fully prepared for a struggle, and are Inclined to ridicule the Idea that there are train men enough now idle In the country to fill their places. The earliest development of the day was the retfelpt by the trainmen's committee of General Manager Ward's letter, following the receipt of their ultimataum reiterating their original demands on the double-header question. Mr. Ward, in giving out his letter, stated that it was more In the na ture of a reinforcement of the argument he had made in support of his position and concessions offered, and made an appeal ' to the men to accept the compromise j rather than a definite reply to their last ' communication. He stated, further, that ! upon receipt of the men's reply to his let ter he would give a definite answer to their original demands. The committee In executive session con sidered Mr. Ward's communication for the remainder of the afternoon, and on their adjournment their leaders announced that it had been decided that no reply was nec essary, as Mr. Ward had made no new proposals nor given a definite xeply to their propositions. Then it was that the St. Paul Jobbers" Union took a hand in the negotiations to try to effect a compromise that would be honorable to each side. STRIKE IS LEFT TO MEN. Machinist Will Vote on Coins Out In Sympathy for Boilermakers. MILWAUKEE. May 12. The Interna tional Association of Machinists, In con vention today, voted to leave the matter of a strike of machinists on the railroads embraced in the Harriman system, in sympathy with the striking boilermakers on the Union Pacific Railroad, to a vote of the men themselves. According to Vice-President P. J. Con Ion, It will be nearly a month before the result of the vote will be known. The lodges Involved will vote separately, and the results will be forwarded to the execu tive board, whose headquarters are at Washington. D. C. In case a majority de cide In favor of a sympathetic strike, such strike will be ordered by the executive board. Work of City Tied Up by Strike. NEW YORK, May 12. With 400 miles of streets of the city calling for new as phalting and 120 new contracts let. Com missioner of Highways Livingston finds himself entirely helpless; because of the great labor war now on. To complicate the situation, Mr. Living ston says a company has obtained con tracts to connect every substation of the city with the general Postoffice by pneu matic tube. This company has also ob tained from the State Legislature the right to put in these tubes without obtaining a franchise to use the streets, and Is said to be on the point of starting work, and as It will have to remove the asphalt on 43 miles of streets in order to lay the 90 miles of tubes, this will mean more litter and obstruction until the war Is over. Asrency to Hire Men at Omnlta. OMAHA. May 12. The fJ"?at Northern Railroad has established an agency In this city to hire men in the event of a strike on that system. Applicants are re quired to sign contract to work for the Great Northern in the event of a strike."
