violation of the Constitution was
urged upon Senator Borah in a tel
egram dispatched by John G.
Dowd, chairman of the general
strike committee of the Eastern
shopmen.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6-The
injunction against the striking
shopnen was declared today in
the Senate by Senator Robinson,
Democrat, Arkansas, to be violat-
ing both the Constitution and the
Clayton Act. The Arkansas sena-
tor declared that "the injunction
abridged the freedom of speech
and of the press and the right of
people peaceably to assemble"
He argued that it violated The
section of the Clayton Act which
he said implied "that laborers
might organize and act in concert
for the benefit of mutual aid anil
helpfulness without the fear of
prosecution under antitrust laws.
He charged that the federal courts
had exceeded their authority in is
suing the temporary restraining
order and declared that, "the al
legged advantages to be derived
from the temporary injunction arc
more than offset by the permanent
impairment of the reputation of
the federal judiciary for integrity
and impartiality that must result
from such an unwarrantcd as
sumption of authority?"
Union leaders decline to reveal
the whereabouts of B. NJ. Jewell
since he cropped out of sight last
Friday. Meanwhile the Federal
agents awaited the return to Chi
cago of MIR. Jewell to formally
serve upon him the writ of iniunc-
ton. Attorney General Daugherty
explained at ~ahirgton that the
Injunction which nad been issued
would not he used to abridge per-
Sonal liberty or interfere with the
freedom Of speech or the freedom
of the press.
Strike conditions are reported
quiet throughout the country. Ten
men, all of whom the police de-
clare are striIino shopmen, are
held at Memphis, Tenn, in con-
nection with the recent killing of
Charles H. Lamgier, d non-union
employee on the Frisco system.
The Nebraska Federation of La
Eor have adopted a resolution ask
ing for general strike o. organiz-
ed labor in the United States in
support Of the railroad shopcratt5

SENATOR LAFOLLETTE
IS AN EASY WINNER

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. C
Indications are today that Senator
Robert NJ. LaFollette has been
overwhelmingly dominated in
Tuesdays primary election over w.
A. Garfield as the republican can
didate for United States Senator.
With about half the cities and
towns heard from and . lead over
his competitor of 10000 votes it
would appear that the voters of
Wisconsin had endorsed the issues
which Senator LaFol.ettc has adj
vocated at Washington and upon
which he sought denomination in
the present CAMPAIGN.
These issues were opposition to
the Esch-Cummins act, Newberry-
ism, the four power treaty and OPP
position to the policies of President
Harding. The Anti-Saloon League
endorsed all the candidates oppos-
ed to Senator LaFollette.

KELLEY PILOTS

TO VICTORY 90
Meehan's Wildness Cause
of ColebrOOk Mines
Defeat

Art Kelley. twirling his second
game in two days. merely threw
th0 ball past the Colebrook bats
men on the Campus Tuesday while
ms Fairbanks mates took advant-
age of Lefty Meehan's extreme
wildness. Frank McLaughhns long
double to right center in the first
inning scored three men. and the
locals added six more runs in the
sixth frame, making the days total
9 to 4.
Kcl permitted eight scattered
hits, and famed eleven men. And
this, in spite of the fact that
Colebrook presented a much more
formidable looking nine than on
the former occasion when that
North country village received an
to setback. Kel rad terrific
speed yesterday, notWithstand-
the fact that he had nung a con-
test Sunday. He also carried in
his repertoire a hook, which broke
q foot.
If Kcf mixed up his stuff more
he would be one of the leading
semi-pro tWirlers in New England.
With that smoke OF his he could
master many a batter by altcrnat-
ing more often 4 pitch shoulder
high by one knee high. Thus, if
he pitched high and low, and if
he broke his looN on the outside
Of the saucer, he could increase
his effectiveness 80 per cent.
Colebrook secured an unearned
run in the first inning, as d result
of two successive bobbles followed
by Strong's little fly to left field.
The visitors tailed thrice in the
eighth stanza, due to a conglomer-
alton Of two errors, two hit bats
men, and two scratch hits. In all
other chapters, Kelley held the
COlcbroOk SWatSmcn safe.
The locals started after Cole
brook with a rush in the first inn
ing. Gricvc and Maloney were
walked, and Bracket was given d
life at first on an error by the
New Hampshire shortstop. Cole

HEARS
POLITICAL
CANDIDATES
Flint, Candidate for Sher-
iff, and HosfOrd, for
Senator, Speak

Tuesday night was candidate
night at Hardwick. Political talk
in the granite town, as everywhere
in Vermont, has been quiet this
summer, but the presence of the
two republican candidates for gov
ernor, a candidate for county sena-
tor as well as one of the six cam
didates for high sheriff naturally
set the political ball a-spinning.
The meeting was held in the
town hall and Oscar L. Shepard
of the republican town committee
presided and happily presented the
speakers.
Last year at similar rally the
three-cOrnered fight for the gov
ernorship came to a climax and
developed almost a personal en-
counter between the candidates at
the Hardwick meeting. There
were no actual fsticuffs, but tre-
mcndous tongue lashing. This
year it was different. Gov. Foote
walked to the hall with Redfield
Proctor and referred to him sew
eral times as "my friend Red
field, while the Rutland county
candidate said some people sup
posed the two candidates were
going to stand on opposite sides
Of the sidewalk and hurl rocks at
each other, but this was not their
purpose. This friendly rivalry is
much to be preferred and is much
nearer the ideal Vermont way of
playing the political game.
Gov. Foote said he was not in
favor of the state board of con-
troll as it now functions; believed
that federal aid money for high
ways could be much more profit
ably expended under direction Of
some one who knows something of
local conditions. He said he was
sure that with a governor who is
not in favor Of a direct tax that
the affairs of the state could be

Miss Grace McLam Tells
of Life In Far-Off
Albania

Miss Grace McLam of Ryegatc,
St. Johnsbury and Western
Europe as she was aptly introduc-
ed to the St. Johnsbury Womans
club and their large number Of
guests Tuesday night in Athenae-
um hall, took her audience to far
off Albania, showed them the Al
banian Mountaineers, the Turks,
the Greeks, the Mohammedans,
Gypsies and other interesting
peoples who border the Adriatic
and IOnian seas, and with whom
Miss McLam was closely associat-
ed in Red Cross and war relief
work. Informally and easily, but
almost too imodestly Miss McLam
touched on her four years work
over seas. Her audience wanted to
know more about her part in the
great work and this with charact-
eristic modesty was withheld.
Sketching her travels briefly
Miss McLam told of landing in
Liverpool in 1918 with 80 Red
Cross workers. She spoke of the
beauty of England in August, told
OF a short stop in London, then
the Vermont girl was transferred
to Tours, an aviation center, to
take care of accident cases and to
trace missing soldiers. After the
signing of the armisticc, Miss Nc
Lam with others was sent to Ger
many, thence to Roumania. In

she was presented to Queen Rou-
mana.
