Wilson, N.C., July 17—Temporary injunctions restraining striking shopmen in eastern North Carolina from any interference with trains or employes of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, was signed by Federal Judge Henry G. Connor Sunday.
The order is made returnable at Raleigh on July 25, and the trains of the complainant company, or with employees, or those who desire to become employees of the company.
Named as defendants individually and as members of the union, in the injunctions are C.P. Chipman and W.D. Ricks of the machinists; F.R. Hutchinson and A.O. Plott of the boiler-makers; W.S. Cooper and C.W. Dause of the blacksmiths; T.W. Weaver and J.R. Arnold of the carmen; A.T. Moore and G.L. Wallace of the sheet metal workers; W.W. Miller and C.H. Williams of the electrical workers; G.D. Rosser, president, and C.R. Ottersburg, secretary of the A.C.L., federation of shop employers; F.W. Brown, chairman of the shop committee, Wilmington shops; Hugh M. Pace, secretary of the federated shops committee at Wilmington; and J. Prause, chairman of the Rocky Mount shops.
After reciting the fact that the complainant is engaged in the carrying of interstate commerce and the United States mail and a continued interference of the company’s business will result in irreparable damage, the order declares that no interference with either interstate commerce or the carrying of United States mails will be tolerated.
The injunction is aimed to protect the shops of the company at Wilmington and Rocky Mount.
