-AsEearly one-half of the 600 affidavits
produced by the government in sup
port Of Attorney General DauShtery
bilI for an injunction against lhe ran
strikers will not be considered IN ue-
Gliding the case, Judge James IL
Wiikerson of Chicago announced Moh-
day afternoon in upholding lawyers Ior
the unions in an attack on thelr propi-
ty. The decision affects 2SI ainuaVlts
in which, the defense said, 1t ala not
appear that the persons making thent
knew they were to be USED IN Coutt
and that they were subject to the laws
oevering perjury.
= 1t has come out within the past
week that the Turks Were able 10
overcome the Greeks by the help OIL
French and British arms and ammu-
nitiAu supplied to General Wransei IN
his ,xpedition against the SoVfets. IL
was the hope of Great Britain ana
France that a fairly large army prop
erM equipped, would have little dim
ci1isy in overthrowing the Bolshevlk
government. But the event, 1t will be
remembered, proved otherwise. Ine
SbSiet proved too much for General
Wrangle and drove him first INTO the
CNgnea and then to Sayastipol Most
OF his troops were taken off by Britlsh
and French transports. He lett De-
hind immense quantities OF arms.
These arms were taken by the Soviets
and afterward turned over to the
T,irks. who used them in whipping the
Greeks. Also the Turks have been
able to procure immense supplies OF
arms and ammunition from France and
Italy-all they wanted. Now the TURK
ish army consists of more than 3OO,-
600 men, composed Of Turks, Arabians,
Egyptians and men of other nation
aiities. i
-Organized labor throughout the
country is very much stirred up over
the proposition to impeach Attorney
General Daugherty because of his ac-
tion in resorting to the injunction pro-
cess to hamper the shopmen's strike.
An Impeachment resolution YVES intro
dtfded last week by Representative
Kholler, Republican, of Minnesota.
Mrt Knoller expected the judiciary
eoinmittee of the house to report the
resolution at once; but instead Of re-
porting the resolution the ccmmlttee
reported an agreement to postpone
further proceedings until December.
Samuel Untermeyer of New York, has
been retained to represent Represent
sttive Knoller before the judiciary COM
r1ittee. Untermeyer gave out a state
naent in which. he said that although
he could not promise to make good as
to- the injunction proceedings, he be-
lieved that he could make it warm for
Daugherty because of his conduct gen.
orally, and especially because of his
neglect of duty in the enforcement OF
the anti trust laws. Following the
postponement of the Impeachment res
olution Samuel Gompers and other la
Dor leaders announced their intention
TO Immediately call for labor rallys
Throughout the country to denOunce
Republican policy generally and to do
all they could in aid of Democratic
eotigressmen at the polls in November
Three Democrats on the judiciary
committee Of the house, voted against
postponement of the resolution.
0Final legislative action on the
tariff bill of 1922 was taken Tuesday
with adoption of the conference report
by the senate. The measure now goes
to President Harding and will become
effective the day after he signs it. I'm
der the law he has 10 days in which
to attach his signature. The senate
vote was .43 to % and came exactly
dhS year, eight months and thirteen
dayseafter the work was st1rted~ on
WiaGs will be the first Republican pro-
teotiye tariff law in nearly 10 years.
Five Republicans voted against the con-
ference report and two Democrats sup
ported it. Three Republicans, Gamer
on, Cummins and Lenroot, who voted
for the bill as amended in the senate,
opposed it in the form it came from
conference. Treasury experts esti-
mate that the new act will yield about
100000 900 q year in revenue, one
