GOVERNMENT RESTS
IN INJUNCTION SUIT
Union Leaders Say Executives Ea-
tered Conspiracy to Force
Strike. {

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE govern
ment completed its plea for an in
junction against the rail strikers to-
day and rested its case.
Judge James H. Wilkerson adj
journed court until Monday. when at-
torneys for B. NJ. Jewell and John
Scott, president and secretary-treas-
'urer, respectively, of the railway
employees department, American
Federation of Labor, will open the de-
tense.
The government rested on the
strength of some 600 affidavits,
charging violence, intimidation and
destruction of property during the
strike. No direct evidence connect
ing any of the union officials with
the alleged conspiracy to destroy in
terstate traffic was given.
Donald r. Richberg and Frank
Mulholland, attorneys for Jewell and
Scott, the only two of the 240 union
leaders and 100000 strikers affected
by the indictment, who are represent
ed in court are preparing, they say,
to offer evidence in support of the
unions claim of counter conspiracy
against them. The union leaders
charged that the railroad executives
entered into conspiracy first, to
force a strike, and then to destroy the
union.
Four days are left for the defense
and for final argument before the
temporary restraining order now in
force will automatically expire.
