WARNED BY FEDERAL JUDGE COUP ISSUES SWEEPING INTUM NION IN CHICAGO LABOR TROUBLE. Business of Firms Must Not Be InterTered with- Twelve Labor Leaders Are Indicted for ConspiracySerious Rioting Continues. Chicago, April 29. An Injunction, sweeping and direct in its nature, was granted Friday by Judge Kohlsaat, of the United States circuit court, against all labor unious and others, restraining them from interfering in any way with the operations of the TeamAng company. This action places the employers under the protection of the federal government.

One hundred defendants are specifically named in the writ, including the teamsters joint council. The order is a temporary one, returnable May 10, when the labor people will be called upon to show why it should not be made permanent. The future course of the strike may hinge largely on this injunction. Violation of the injunction is punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, at the discretion of the court. It is expected that promivent leaders will be arrested if they persist in their boycott policy, just as Debs was arrested and imprisoned in the railroad strike of 1894.

The impending general strike of the lumber, hay and grain teamsters was one of the largest elements in Friday's developments. There are 2.000 .000 lumber drivers. Two hundred of them are out already and the other 1,800 have been ordered to strike. Strike Spreads. Chicago, May 1.

The strike extended its tentacles Saturday, violence in more pronounced form prevailed in the streets of the city, and employers and union men through their boards of strategy planned relentless campaigns, while civic officials and committees representing the general public made tentative moves looking to the restoration of peace. About 1,000 recruits joined the ranks of the striking drivers during Saturday, but contemplated action by large business interests promise to force two or three times that number out of work. The spread of the strike further affected the coal business, penetrated to the wholesale grocery houses, placed a partial embargo on the transfer of passengers and baggage to and from railroad stations, and took in hundreds of bundle boys in the department stores. Wholesale grocers, against some of whom the strike ban already has been put in operation, have decided upon a lockout. President Will Take No Part.

From Washington came word that President Roosevelt will take no part In a movement looking to arbitration, and that United States troops will be held in readiness to respond to any call that may come from Gov. Deneen. Two United States army wagons, each drawn by four mules, arrived in Chicago from Fort Sheridan Saturday. They were sent in response to an order from the secretary of war at Washington and are to be used, it is believed, to transport federal funds to and from the various railway stations to the Unied States subtreasury. Col.

Duggan, who is now in command of the department of the lakes, has received instructions from Secretary Taft at Washington to use his judgment in handling the money of the local subtreasury should the strike extend far enough to affect that department. Rioting Grows More Serious. Fifty shots, one of which hit and probably fatally wounded Charles Lidinsky, were fired by negro drivers and guards of six of John V. Farwell Co. wagons at Madison and Franklin streets in the biggest shooting affray of the strike Saturday.

The negroes defended themselves against attack by drawing revolvers. Another man was hurt by a brick in the same riot. One man died in the evening, a victim of the general reign of violence. Violence and riot grew more serious as the day waned. Labor Leaders Indicted.

Twelve indictments against labor leaders in connection with the Montgomery Ward Co. strike were returned by the Cook county grand Jury in its final report to Judge McEwen Saturday. The men Indicted inelude the international president of the teamsters' union, the president of the Chicago Federation of Labor and officials of practically all of the local unions of teamsters. The charge agninst the Indicted men is conspiracy to an Illegal act in interfering with the business of Montgomery Ward Co. Will Ask for Troops, Chicago, May 2- Nearly 4,600 men are now out on strike.

With the spread of the strike to the wholesale grocery horses Monday, and the inability of the police to prevent riots and slugging, the Employers' Teaming company made atrangements to call for United States troops. Victor W. Sincere, attorney for the new teaming company, said: "In behalf of the company, Lahall asake an argent request on Levy Mayer, counsel for the Chicago Employers association, that be demand of the federal government troops to be used in strike duty at We have use for all the soldiers now al Fort Sheridan and we may teed We have had demands to day from at least a dozen firms who need police protection and cannot get It. The pollen are at the end of their rope and re nothing to do bat to call for the We have wagons ROW En the elty, and they by their and Intertured Dederal by ur One of the most signldcant features of the strike situation Monday was the arrival of a large body of nonunion teamsters from the south. Their coming reveals the plan of the employers to adopt the policy employed by the packers last summer and which resulted in the breaking of the stockyards strike and the utter defeat of the union.

Will Receive: Petition. Glenwood Springs, May President Roosevelt has agreed to give the Chicago striking teamsters an opportunity to present their petition when he recaches that city on May 10. The president cannot give consideration to the petition until he reaches Washington. MINERS MEET DEATH. Twelve Killed by Explosion Near Dubois, Pa.
