The incidents involved in these cases arose out of a long-lived and admittedly virulent strike by the Union against the St. Louis metropolitan wholesale beer distributors. On April 22,1976, suit was filed in St. Louis City Circuit Court by Lohr Distributing Co., Inc. (Lohr), exclusive distributor of Anheuser-Busch products within the City of St. Louis, against specified persons affiliated with the Union in both their individual capacity and as representatives of a class consisting of the membership of the Union. The petition, which sought a restraining order against the Union, charged that the strikers had engaged in numerous unlawful activities including: mass and unruly picketing for the purpose of harassing and obstructing Lohr’s customers; harassment, intimidation and threats of physical violence against Lohr’s employees and customers; following Lohr’s customers from its premises and stopping the customers on public streets in order to assault, abuse and threaten them to coerce a cessation of business with Lohr; and various other acts or threats of physical violence and property damage. 2 *29
