SUPREME C0URI
 TAXES HAND IN
 STRIKE TROUBLE
NEW YORK STRIKERS ENDOWED FROM MAKING TROUBLE BY
 SUPREME JUDGE.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2t,=The strike situation here took a new turn to- day when supreme court injuuc ton, restraining the local officers of the Amalgafnated Garment cut ters' Union from calling into the strike members of the union having individual contracts with their em- pIoyers, was issued. The restrain ing order also forbids acts of yio. Ience, threats and ntinidations on the part of the strikers, and it is though; probable that it will have wide and far-reaching effect on the general situation.
 Practically no unionists are to be found riding on the boycotted and scab-driyen street cars of this city. Tickets posted by the strikers along the ear lines have caught numbers of union workers in other lines rid ing on the cars, but the man caught has been fined by his union in cl- cry instance.
 Existing contracts prevent build ing trades, printers and other uni onists from joining the strike. For the law of the state explicitly points out the fact that all existing con tracts must be fulfilled by all who start work on them
 Strike leaders here are consider ably incensed over Mayor MitcheIs threat to call out the militia of the state in case of violence. They con slider that in threatening to take such action the mayor acknowledges that the city government is domi- mated by the tractionists.
 Police Commissioner Woods is making all preparations to handle the situation in case of a general walk out. He has instructed all of the police captains of the city to secure the services of ten civilians in each precinct to augment the police force in case of trouble
 Labor leaders here are refusing to call the walk out a sympathetic strike They say that if general strike is decided upon, it will be in the interests of laboring humanity, and that any who fail to respond to the call will be treated as trait OTIS to the cause forever afterward by other unionists.

BANDIT CHIEF
 |S GATHERING
 FIGHTING MEN
VILLA AGAIN THREATENS THE PEACE OF MExlCO-lS
 READY TO FIGHT.

FL PASO, Tex, Sept. 24.-Pancho Villa, the bandit is again looming formidably on the Mexican horizon He is fast gathering an army of well armed and well trained men about him, according to word received here, and will soon be ready to give battle to the Carranza forces. To the partial success of his raid on Chihuahua during the independence day festivities of a week ago is at tributed his success in raising an army.
 Supporters of Villa who are now in this city claim to have received wires from the bandit in which he states that he will be in complete control of the state of Chihuahua Within 15 days after the American punitive expedition commanded by General Pershing is withdrawn from Mexican soil It is claimed that fully 90 per cent of the population of the state excepting the Carranza soldiery, favors Villa, and it is also stated that Villaistas are busy cor rupting Carranzaista garrisons all over the state, and finding many Carranza soldiers who are ready and willing to join forces with the ban dit chieftain.
 From American headquarters in Chihuahua it is announced that Villa and his army are now within 9 miles of Chihuahua City. At Car ranza headquarters in Juarez it is stated that the Villaistas are still 30 miles from Chihuahua.
 It is also reported here that traf- fife on the Mexican Northern rail road at Santa Ysabel has been tenn porarily suspended. The suspen- sion is due to the fact that Villa is in control of that portion of the road, according to railroad officials
 The general situation in Chihuahua is being watched closely by the Am ercan forces there. according to the word received here. The leaders of the expedition have not forgotten why they were sent to Mexico, and it is expected that if the chance presents itself they will seize Villa and bring him to the United States. Villa is also keeping a watchful eye rn the American sOldierv, ac- curding to all reports.

BILLINGS WAS
 OTHERS TOOL

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 24-That in his opinion Billings, the man convicted of the recent bomb out rage in San Francisco, and whose punishment the jury which tried the case requested should be life, was the tool of others, is the opini- on of District Attorney Brennan The district attorney has no doubt of Billings guilt, but he is of the opinion that the man was spurred on to do the deed by others who are far more culpable. And to the end that those implicated be convicted, Nr Brennan states that he will seek a pardon for Billings if the convicted man will tell all he knows and thereby help convict Mooney and the others accused of complici- ty in the crime.
 When he was informed that the jury which had convicted him had requested that a probable death sen tence in his case be commuted to life imprisonment, Billings asked why they did not allow him to hang if he is guilty enough to convict. Swarms of his radical friends, members of the International De- fense League, which financed his defense, are endeavoring to enlist the sympathies of the populace for an appeal
 When the jury returned it's yer dict there was a pathetic scene in the court room. For Mrs. Belle I.avin, the prisoners landlady, burst into tears and threw her arms about his neck, crying out that she was more certain than ever that Billings did not commit the crime charged.

1t is understood that Ban Johnson
will issue rule barring the wrinkle
BAH which Danforth of the Chicago
White SoX has been using. 1t was this
peculiar delivery which made Danforth
a great pitcher in the American asso-
citation last year, he striking out more
men than any other pitcher. He tried
to use this delivery against the Tigers,
and they have appealed to President
Johnson to stop its use, claiming it has
just the same effect as an emery ball.
Naturally the big leagues do not
want to give the pitchers any further
advantage over the batters, and any
sort Of delivery made possible by arti-
fetal methods win not be tolerated by
the authorities.
