WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. The
threat of widespread industrial war
fare hung over the country today as Il
result of sweeping injunction obtained
by Attorney General Daugherty
against the striking shopmen.
Demands for general sympathetic
strike poured in on Samuel Gompers,
president of the A. F. o. j.. from all
parts of the country.
The issue of general strike will
be placed before the general council
of the federation here next week,
Gompers stated.
"The only thing that the order does
not forbid is the right of the men to
stay out on strike,'' Gompers said
Will Continue Strike Aid
Gompers announced that the non
striking union would continue to as
"We will give them our moral and
other assistance, he declared.
Legally, labor leaders appear to be
powerless to fight the injunction
Gompers stated. That a legal battle
will be opened by labor, however, was
indicated by Gompers and shopmen
leaders here.
"We will meet them on their own
grounds Gompers said.
Gompers stated that the conference
of the executive council of the feder-
alton would undoubtedly outline a
course of action The Widespread de-
mand for a general strike will be dis
cussed by the council. Gompers stated
Al ha bo 10
the authority to call a general strike.
This power rests with the individual
unions The council, however, wields a
( powerful influence and its recommend
atiops in the present case would be ac
cepted almost as mandate, one un
! ion leader declared.
Administration officials, however
scoff at talk of sympathetic strike
They do not believe that Gompers
would recommend one. The fear OF
prosecution for conspiracy under the
statutes would keep the other union
leaders in line, they said.
Strikers Hold Meeting
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Strikers
from the local railway shops held a
meeting today despite the injunction
ordered at the request of Attorney
General Daugherty, curbing their power

Charles II. Frazier, business agent
of the local, announced meetings will

Across the river at the Alexandria,
Va, shops, S. G. Chichester, general

THREATENED OFFICER
Two Others Arrested and
Still and MOOnshine
Captured
THREATENED OFFICER

Special Deputy Sheriff William Me.
Gray, alleged bootlegger, in raid ON
Gray's still, two miles east and nortl,
of Heber shortly before noon today.
John j. Cooper and T. ID. Tedrow, who
were with Gray at the time of the raid,
were placed under arrest and are held
at the county Jail as witnesses, pending
investigation as to their connection
with the case.
According to the story told by Nc
Coy to a Press reporter, he and his
brother Joe had been suspicious of
Gray for some time, watching cars
drive up to his place every day, evi-
IDENTIFY getting a load of moonshine
whiskey and driving away. Two days
ago they visited Gray's house while he
was away and saw complete equip
ment for operating a still. Reporting
their find to Judge Frank Evans of
Gray.
Says Gray Threatened
This morning the two men went to
Gray's house and.-notified him he was
under arrest. William Mccoy sem
his brother Joe into Heber to commun
| icate' with the sheriff s office whil'
he stood guard over the prisoners. A.
soon as the brother was out of sight
Gray began to curse and threaten
Mccoy, telling him he was not an of
ficer and ordering him off the place
Mccoy stood his ground and warned
Gray not to come near him or he would
shoot, Gray being much larger man
and noted as "bad actor
Gray advanced toward Mccoy, tell
ing him he would rip off his badge and
throw him from the place. The deputy
told him he did not want to hurt him
but he would shoot if Gray laid a hand
upon him. Seein gthat Gray was bent
upon carrying out his threat, Mccoy
backed away, pleading with the man
not to force him to shoot, but the
latter continued to advance, making
a leap for the deputy when the latter
stumbled backward over clOd of earth.
Mccoy then shot, the bullet hitting
Gray in the chest.
Moonshine Capture
Cooper and TedrOw, who were stand
ing by while Mccoy and Gray were
talking, broke down when they saw
their companion dead, and waited
quietly with Mccoy until the arrival
of Deputy Sheriff Sam Griffin from
the county Jail. The Officers brought
nearly II gallons of moonshine whis-
key back to Jail with their prisoners
and later went out for another load.
They repoEted five barrels of mash in
Gray's house and complete still.
Coroner +. w. Peterson vii hold an
inquest on Gray's body tonight at
which it is expected the connection
between Cooper and Tedrow and Gray
will be established.
Gray was about 50 years old and has
been i'm trouble several times previous
ly for bootlcgging. He also operated
the ranch where he was living when
killed.

STORM SWEEPS
SOUTH AND SHUTS
OFF POWER JUICE

According to reports received tins
morning at the office of the Holton
Power Co., the electoral storm which
ragged this morning over southern Cali
fornia, raised havoc with power and
telephone lines putting the high line
of the Southern Sierras Co., which sup
plies power to Imperial valley, out OF
commission at Dermid between inland
and the Coachella valley, when light
ming struck pole and brought the line
to the ground.
information to this effect reached
the local office about ) O'Clock this
morning, and Manager f. w. Judy i'm
mediately dispatched a crew of men TO
repair the line. At 10 clock he was
advised that the men were able to ride
a short distance north of INLAND i'll

to abandon them and travel on foot 10
the scene of the break, owing to the
condition of the roads, which were
flooded by the terrific downpour of
rain.
Repair Men Wade to Work
Reports sent back stated the men
were wading through two feet of mud
and water, carrying their supplies and
equipment ON their shoulders. He said
it would take but short fine to re-
pair the break, once the repair crew
reached the point, but it was impossible
to say just how long this would require.
Meantime power in electricity was AZ
a premium With the main line gone,
the Holton Co. started up Il small steam
auxiliary plant, but machine and fan
power was badly crippled for several
hours.
Rain fell continually during the morn
ing at Calipatria and the country north
but was unaccompanicd by any cleo
trical disturbance. In the vicinity of
INLAND and on toward Coachella valley,
the roads are washed out in places by
the heavy downpour which visited that
section, but the water is reported ran
ming off the highway rapidly.
Rain Reported iii the Valley
Brawley had several short showers
in the course of the morning, none of
which were very heavy, noltvillc also
reported slight sprinkle, and heavy
rains in the Alamo and verde districts
but no damage.
FL Centre had two short rains be-
tween $3.50 and 10 clock, followed by
intermittent sunshine. CaleXico seems
TO have been overlooked entirely no
rain falling in that city at any time up
to ] O'Clock.
Though the actual storm seems to
have passed around the valley, it has
struck the country to the north and
west, depriving this section of electrical
power with the exception of small
auxiliary station sufficient to furnish
power for a small part of FL Centro
Telephone and telegraph service is oper-
ating without interruption and the rail
roads are operating on schedule.
According to word received late this
