Strikers Are Enjoined

Detroit, July 4.- Late yesterday afternoon an injunction, similar tothat issued in Illinois, was issued in this city by Judge Henry Swan of the United States circuit court for the Eastern district of Michigan. The injunction was issued at 5:30 bv Judge Swan at the request of United States District Attorney Wilkins. 'fue writ is drawn under the provisions of the interstate commerce law and restrains the strilcers frorn interfering in any way wirh the traffic of the Grand Trunk, Detroit, Grand Haven and Mil waukee, Wabash, Lake Shore and Michigan Southern and the Michigan Central railroads. The Detroit, Lansing and Northern and the Flint and Pere Marquette roacls, two of the roads which up to the pr esent time have been the most seriously bampered by the strike, cannot come in under the injunction, as they do not run out of the state and cannot therefore come under the interstate commerce law. In the writ are named Eugene Debs and other high officials of the American Rail way union, sonie of the strike leaders of Battle Creek and three of the uien prominent in the movetient in Detroit. The three latter are John McMinn, president of the East Side branch of the American Rail way union; Thomas F. üriftiths, president of the West Side branch, and Frank King, chairman of the strike coirmr'ttee. Deputy United States Marshal A. W. Large, accompanied by Deputy D. W. Smith, left on the 8:4ö Michigan Central train for Battle Creek to serve the writ pon the strikers there and to post copies of it in and about the railwny yards. Other officers were furnished with copies of the writ to serve apon the Detroit stritcers and post in the yards of the companies in whose favor the writ is issued. The injunction is of a most sweeping character and covers every act of hindrance and obstruction to which strikers might resort and includes trains of every character, mail, passenger and freigh.t.
