A temporary injunction blocks the Order of Railway Conductors from striking on the Union Pacific. Judge Willis G. Sears set Saturday for a hearing to decide if the order should become permanent. Edwin A. Hamilton, an UP employee and conductor, filed the suit claiming a two thirds vote requirement was violated and names A G Carreton and three union divisions as defendants. He argues the case affects conductors in Nebraska where Sears has jurisdiction.
