Injunction Hearing Opens as Strikers Challenge Right to Enjoin
In Chicago on March 11 1931 the government's bid to make permanent a temporary injunction against rail strikers began before Judge James H Wilkerson. Richburg for the union argued the acts surrounding the strike are pure matters of law and that the open shop issue lies with Congress, not the attorney general. Defense lawyers cited a federal court ruling against coal mine injunctions and Railroad Labor Board Chairman Hodoper observed court proceedings.
