INJUNCTION IS MOST DRASTIC
(By the Associated Press,)

Chicago, Sept. 2.-The government
acted swiftly upon the heels of the
action yesterday in which United
States Attorney General Daugherty
obtained a temporary injunction
which prohibits the strikers from in
terfering in any way with the opera
tions of the railroads.
Notices of the temporary enjoining
order and the pending hearing Sep
tember IL, in federal district court
here, were. served last night on John
Scott, secretary-treasurer of the rail-
way employees department of the
American Federation of Labor. b. M
Jewell, head of the railway employees
department and acknowledged leader
of the strike, could not be found by
deputy United States marshals.
Five hundred subpoenas were be-
ing printed last night and were to be
received at the federal building this
morning. More than $50 individuals,
officers and aides of leaders of the six
shopmen's unions, whose 100000
members went on strike July /, were
named. Some $500 deputy United
States marshaIs thruout the country
are ready to serve the subpoenas.
Extra Marsha1s Necessary.
Fifty additional deputy marshals
were sworn in at Chicago to aid in
serving the injunction notices upon
the union leaders. Union headquar-
ters were working at the usual hour
today with apparent activity. B. M.
Jewell, it was said at his office, was
out this morning. One report that he
had gone to Cleveland and was ex-
pected to meet train service brother
hood leaders could not be confirmed.
There was a belief in the federal
building that Jewell still was in Chi
cago.
Under restrictions placed upon
them by the U. S. government by
means of the most drastic and far
reaching temporary injunction ever
issued in an Industrial crisis, the 300.-
900 railway shopmen who walked out
July / in protest against wages and
working conditions prescribed by the
railroad labor board had entered 4
new era of the nation wide rail strike
today.
The restraining order obtained from
Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson by
Attorney General Daugherty prohibit
interference in any manner with any
and all phases of railroad operations.
Printed and oral propaganda were
placed under the ban and the injunc-
ton is directed against all persons
connected in an official capacity with
the railway employees department of
the American federation of labor, the
federated shop crafts and system fed
erations.
The life of the temporary iniunc-
tions extends to September IL. when
Judge Wilkerson will hear a motion
for a permanent order.
