Taft and the first use of injunctions in labor disputes
In 1892 William Howard Taft joined the U S circuit court in Ohio. He issued injunctive orders in two notable cases the Arthur and Phelan cases. Taft also ruled that union conduct could be criminal under federal statutes. James Fox warned such rulings could crush worker assemblies. In 1894 Taft barred F W Phelan from organizing on the Cincinnati and Southern road, sentencing him to six months in jail.
