Wilkerson of the United Statea District Court. 5
“Hie decree making permanent the inj'unction, is
considered the most widespread restraining order ever
obtained in the history of litigation, as it affects approx

The litigation over the temporary inj'unction and
the efforts by the government to make the, inj'unction
permanent brought about one of the hardest fotight legal
battles in the history of strikes. .The real basis of the
