End of US Cases in ARU Strife Court Docket
In federal districts prosecutors have been ordered to dismiss cases against ARU strikers and related defendants. United States attorneys report no trials planned as Attorney General Olney has given no contrary instructions. Several arrests for interfering with nonstriking workers were released on recognizance, with further proceedings unlikely.
