Lawsuit records denial of railway union strike powers
The defendants dispute that the American Railway Union sought one official management to order strikes or dismissals. They contend local unions acted by member vote without union control and that members left jobs voluntarily. They deny injunctions were publicly published or that any telegrams coerced employees, save for a July 6 1894 message urging steadiness. The filing notes organized locals across the northwest and main line, with members applying to join the union after the injunction.
