Vice Chancellor Had Incurred
DiSpleaSure of State Fedora
ton by Injunction in Hudson
8y Special Correspondent.


TRENTON, March 16-A near SEN
sat1on was caused in the State House
last night by the development of the
fact that q resolution had been drawn
and presented so Asse nleblynlan GuIh-
RE, Republican, of Mercer county,
calling for the impeachment of Vice
Chancellor John K. Foster, Of Allan
tic Highlands. who has incurred the
displeasure of the labor men of the
state because of his recent injunction
IN the teamsters strike in Hudson
county. Only two things seemed to
stand in the way of the drastic move
against one of the highest judicial
officers in the state. The fact that
the bill was not presented by one of
the Hudson county asemblyncn and
that vice chancellors not being consti-
tutional officers they cannot be re-
moved from Office by impeachment by
the legislature.
The resolution calling for the i'm
peachment committee to try the vice
chancellor was already drawn, it hav-
ing been framed by officers of the
State Federation of Labor. Assem-
blyman George W. Guthrie who is a
labor man himself received it from
President Arthur A. Quinn of the
State Federation.
In view of the fact that the move
was of such a drastic nature when 1t
became public information both the
Republican assemblymen and the
Democratic members went into sepa-
rate party conferences to decide what
action they should take upon the mat
ter. Just what transpired inside of
each party conclaVe was not divulged
but after each session was over the
explanation from Guthrie's side of the
House was that in View Of the fact
that the Foster injunction was issued
In Hudson county. the move for the
Impeachment should came from some
representative of that division of the
state.
On the Democratic side of the
House 1t was explained that no ac-
tion would be taken because 1t had
been discovered that the vice chan
cellor could not be impeached not
being a const itutional officer. There
fore, the proposition was character
lied as dead"
Vice Chancellor Fosters Injunction
Is reputed to have been the most
sweeping against labor ever issued in
this state. 1t has been said that it
strikes at the very heart of the labor
mans weapon, namely. the strike, be-
cause It prohibits picketing and also
the giving of financial aid and advice
to the union members in the further
ing of a strike.

(BY THE ASSOCIATED pREss)


Germany's two governments-th the
new in Berlin and the old IN stutt-
sart-still are locked in struggle
for supremacy. While reports through
Paris today reiterate that negotla-
tions are in progress for a eompro-
mise, the Ebert government in Stutt-
gart is equally positive that no COM
promise can be considered.
On the face of the announcements
today promised to witness the begin
ming of determined contest for con-
troll Chancellor Kapp backed by the
bayonets of the troops that made It
possible for him to Gust the Ebert
government, is sitting tight in the
German capital, but already feels the
effect of the strong weapon the So
cialists have used to combat him-the
general strike. Against this he de-
clares that most drastic measures will
be taken Immediately.
In Stuttgart President Ebert and
his followers not only denied the re-
port that an agreement had been
reached, but declared there could be
no negotiations except upon the basis
of an unconditional surrender by Dr.
kapp.
The national assembly called to-

REINFORCEMEMTS FOR KAPP

hH 4 ne ASSOrlIt6U ETeSS.
BERLIN, March 15:-HeaVy troop
reinforcements We're received by the
new government at Berlin The
troops are marching into Berlin from
nearby garrisons.
Chancellor Kapp, who was carried
into office on the point of only 5000
bayonets three days ago, has thus far
been able to produce only military
backing for his government. The
basis as his political authority and
the source of his support other than
military which he claims, continue TO
be matters of profound mystery.
Notwithstanding it the new chan
cellor appears buoyant with optimism
born of the convictions thai the in
surrection which he heads Will win
the people.
This morning the chancellor locked
horns with organized labor in a strug-
gle for ma stery. However II the
general strike, already paralyzng
Berlin by reason of unexpected raml-
fication. and which is reported
sprea ding to the nations vital sec
lions, should be maintained for onlS
three days the view of observers mere
is that it would be unreasonable 70
assume that he will be able to estan-
Iish his government firmly despite
armed forces.

MOVE TROOPS TO BACK UP KAPP
The Situation in Germany

alton, it is stated by a Hanover news
paper. He is reported to have made
a public declaration that he is not
connected with the Kapp revolution
and, on the contrary, disapproves of
1t.
Berlin is in the grip OF a general
strike called by socialists and labor
leaders as a counter-str to the as
sumption of power by the govern
ment headed by DIR. Wolfgang Kapp,
who has issued a decree threatening
all strike leaders and picl1ets with
death II there is Interference with
vital public services.
Extreme measures will be taken
under the decree after o'clock this
afternoon and It is possible the crisis
of the new revolution will quickly fol-
low.
Details of the situation throughout
Germany are somewhat obscure. but
there seems TO be reason to believe
the Ebert government is still holding
control in the southern and western
sections, while the Kapp regime is in
trenched in Northeastern Prussia and
in Salesla, where towns and cities are
reported to have declared their ad-
herence to the new government.
Fighting is reported in various
points throughout Germany and 1t is
said there was bloodshed in suburbs
yesterday, but It would seem the
clashes reported have been between
militia units and disorderly crowds.
So far as known armed forces of the
two governments have not come into
collision.
