Federal Judge Denies Dismissal in Shop Crafts Conspiracy Case
In Chicago on January 5 federal Judge Wilkinson denied Federated Railway Shop Crafts counsel's bid to dismiss the injunction and suit in equity alleging a conspiracy to interfere with interstate rail traffic through the shopmen's strike. The court granted a trial in open court set for May 2 and reserved on a jury trial. The special examiner order was set aside as evidence gathering in multiple cities. The decision upheld the government's claim of conspiracy as the basis for the injunction and denied dismissal of the preliminary injunction against the federations and officials involved.
