9.-pepouncing the Governments
injunction in the strike Of rail
way shopmen, the executive coun-
ell of the American Federation
of Labor, in q statement tonight,
called upon organized labor and
the people of the United States
as a whole "to resist the estab-
lishment of a practice that will
destroy the very freedom of
democracy"
Oppose General Strike.
The statement was issued follow
ing a four.hour session which open
ed the annual meeting of the execu-
tive council to draft a program Of
labor activities for the next year.
All indications were that the men,
bers of the executive council were
opposed to the suggestion Of a gen.
cral strike in protest against the
Government injunction. 1t is no
secret that the labor chiefs believe
that much favorable sentiment for
their side is resulting from the
methods employed by Attorney Gen.
eral Daugherty in dealing with the
rail strike. There Is a current OF
opposition that the labor leaders will
not risk public displeasure by at.
tempting a general tie-up Of indus.
try.
The executive council Is expected
to be in session about ten days,
meanwhile launching a campaign
for national legislation to assist
organized labor.
Outrages Law, They Say.
The injunction issued at the in.
stance Of the Government against
the striking railway shop workers
outrages every constitutional guar
antee Of free speech, free press and
free assemblage. 1t directly VIC.

ment.
mot only in the name Of labor,
but of all liberty-loving people Of
our. republic. we protest against
the gross misuse of Government
powers by governmental agencies.
Because we have reverence for law,
because we believe that every citi.
zen must be guardian of the
heritage given us by our fathers
who fought for and established
freedom and democracy, we call
upon the workers to resist the es-
tablishment of practice that will
destroy the very freedom Of
democracy and call upon the peo-
pie of America as a whole to pro.

exercise, of the injunction writ SO
