AUGUST 17, 1897.

ORDER.

At a circuit court of the United States for the district of West Virginia, continued and held at Parkersburg in said district, on the 4th day of August, 1897, the following order was made and entered of record, to wit: James Sloan, jr., complainant, v. Eugene V. Debs et al., defendants. In equity.

On this the 4th day of August, 1897, the complainant in this action, by A. B. Fleming, his counsel, presented to the undersigned, one of the judges of the circuit court of the United States for the district of West Virginia, his bill of complaint alleging among other things that the defendant, in conjunction with other defendants in the bill named, were conspiring together to interfere with the operating and conducting of the coal mines operated by the Monongah Coal and Coke Company, and by such interference preventing the employees of the Monongah Coal and Coke Company from mining and producing coal in and from the said mines; and that unless the court granted an immediate restraining order, preventing them from interfering with the employees of the owners of said mines, there was great danger of irremediable injury, damage, and loss to the owners of said mines.

Upon consideration whereof the bill is ordered to be filed and process issued thereon, and a temporary restraining order is allowed restraining and inhibiting the defendants and all others associated and connected with them from in anywise interfering with the management, operation, or conducting of said mines by their owners or those operating them, either by menaces, threats, or any character of intimidation used to prevent the employees of said mines from going to or from said mines or from engaging in the business of mining in said mines.

And the defendants are further restrained from entering upon the property of the owners of the said Monongah Coal and Coke Company for the purpose of interfering with the employees of said company, either by intimidation or the holding of either public or private assemblages upon said property, or in anywise molesting, interfering with, or intimidating the employees of the said Monongah Coal and Coke Company so as to induce them to abandon their work in said mines.

And the defendants are further restrained from assembling in the paths, approaches, and roads upon said property leading to and from their homes and residences to the mines, along which the employees of the Monongah Coal and Coke Company are compelled to travel to get to them, or in any way interfering with the employees of said company in passing to and from their work, either by threats, menaces, or intimidation; and the defendants are further restrained from entering the said mines and interfering with the employees in their mining operations within said mines, or assembling upon said property at or near the entrance of said mines.

The purpose and object of this restraining order is to prevent all unlawful combinations and conspiracies from entering upon the property of the Monongah Coal and Coke Company described in this order, and from in any wise interfering with the employees of said company in their mining operation, either within the mines or in passing from their homes to the mines and upon their return to their homes, and from unlawfully inciting persons who are engaged in working the mines from ceasing to work in the mines, or in any wise advising such acts as may result in violations and destruction of the rights of the plaintiff in this property.

The motion for a permanent injunction is set down for hearing at the United States court room at Wheeling on the 20th day of September, 1897.

This injunction is not to take effect until the plaintiff, or some responsible person for him, shall enter into bond in the sum of $5,000, conditioned to pay all such costs

and damages that will accrue to the defendants by reason of the plaintiff suing out this injunction.

I, L. B. Dellicker, clerk of the circuit court of the United States for the district of West Virginia, hereby certify that the foregoing is a true copy of an order entered of record in said court on the 4th day of August, 1897, in the equity cause of James Sloan, jr., v. Eugene V. Debs et al., therein pending. Bond, in accordance with the foregoing order, has been given.

Given under my hand and seal of said court, at Parkersburg, in said district, this 4th day of August, 1897. L. B. DELLICKER,
