Judge Luse issued an injunction in 1922 against striking shop men of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railroad. He cited several of these workers for contempt of court and fined and jailed them for pick eting against his orders. The strikers appealed to the United States supreme court on the ground that they were denied a jury trial, as provided by the Clayton law. They were sustained by the high court, who upheld that section of the Clayton act which provides for a jury trial in criminal contempt proceedings. Read the Press. vV'?
