ISSUES WRIT
IN HAAG CASE
Clerk of u. S. Court Directs
Execution for S21,459.37
With Interest.

A writ Of execution for ST, ,45e 81. with
interest at the rate OF 6 per cent from
June %, 1920, was issued against Louis
Z. and Julius A Hasg today By Noble
C. Butler, clerk OF the United States Dis
trict Court, on a precipe from Frederick
Van Nuys, United States district attOr-
ney The warrant was turned over to
Fred T. Cretors, chief deputy United
States marshal, with instructions 10 serve
It immediately.
The sum named in the execution rep
resents fines Of $1,000 imposed by Judge
Albert b. Anderson on each Of the Haags
last June after they had been found
guilty in Federal Court Of conspiracy 70
violate the Reed amendment, plus costs
amounting to S2G0.S7.
MOVE FOR PARDON
on WAY EARLY.
Judge Anderson, IN addition 10 impos-
ing the fines, sentenced the brothers to
serve eighteen months at the Federal
prison at Atlanta, Ga. Even before they
began their sentence a movement look
ing toward obtaining a pardon for them
was started, and later a petition for ex-
ecutive clemency was signed by forty
FIVE residents OF Indianapolis. Both Of
these moves were resisted strenuously
by Frederick Van Nuys, United States
district attorney, and Judge Anderson
Joined with him IN his action.
Jan. 81 the Haags, having served one
third of their sentence, became eligible
for parole, and yesterday Il was found
they had been parolled on that date al
though Mr.. Van Uuys was not consulted,
as is generally customary In these cases.
Meantime the fines and costs had not
ben paid and on coming to his o5sce Mr..
Van Nuys Immediately issued a praecipe
for a writ Of execution
PERSONAL PROPERTY
COMES FIRST.
The law requires that personal prop
erty be levied upon before real estate Is
touched and for that reason it is prob
able that one or more Of the Haag drug
stores will be seized, constructiTeIy, by
Deputy Marshal Cretors. In the event Of
non payment Of the fine and costs, to-
gether with the interest, the property Will
be advertised for public sale.
Mr.. Van Nuys said the only chance the
Haags have to avoid the payment OF the
money is to have the fine and costs re-
mitted by the President Of the United
States. Fines he said can be remitted
only by the President and the Federal
Judge before him the case was tried in
the latter case only in the same term
Of court In which the trial occurred. As
the Haag trial was held in the May term
Of court which ended last November,
Judge Anderson could not now remit
the fine, even if he were inclined to do so.

RAIL WORKERS
SAY MANAGERS
HAVE MOTIVES
Charge Efforts to Break All
Unions Save Four Big
BrOtherhOOds.
TEN BODIES CONCERNED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Efforts to win
support Of Government officials and Con-
gress today brought from each side in
the railroad controversy charges Of sin
lister motives" against the other. Repre-
sentatives Of the railroad unions charged
the managers with trying to break all
the labor organizations except the four
big brotherhoods. And the managers
said the men were trying to bring abou.
Federal control
Behind the plea Of the railroad man
ayers to the rail board to abrogate the
national agreement lies the wish TO break
all the unions except the four big broth
erhoods," said william II. Johnston, head
of the maChinists.
There are ten unions besides the
brotherhoods, most Of which gained their
greatest strength during the Federal con
troll All Of them are affiliated with the
American Federation Of Labor.
Supporting their charges that the
unions want Federal control, representa-
tives Of the managers point out that most
Of the union leaders were either members
or officers OF the Plumb Plan League.
Johnston is affiliated with the league
and is an open advocate Of Government
control
While these efforts to win officials and
congressional support were OeIhs CAT
ried on there were indications that the
present Administration and the present
Congress would leave their hands of the
railroad situation unless Il threatened a
strike and tieup of transportation In
which case Federal control will come.
President Wilson, who has received
several te:egrams from the unions and
managers, is confident that the railroad
labor board win handle the situation, 1t
was learned today.
A railroad investigation has been dis
cussed also among Congressman and Sen
ators inclined TO be friendly to the rail-
unions, but 1t was tentatively decided
