Washington, Sept. 22.-Attempts to
impeach Attorney General Daugherty
for seeking an injunction against strik-
ing railway employees and lack of de-
fense of Mr.. Daugherty by house Re-
publicans were criticized in the house
today by Representative Blanton,
Democrat, Texas.
when the attorney general has per-
formed his duty-has taken action to
have the law enforced in behalf OF
the people, said Mr.. Blanton, there
comes to this house resolution to inn
peach him to discredit his efforts be-
fore the country, and the administra-
ton, with its big majority, has not
placed a single member on the floor
to defend him. With railroads tied
up. bridges dynamited and the people
of the United States appealing to the
administration to enforce the law, the
attorney general seeks to act and then
there is a cry to impeach. Not a
member of his party has dared to get
up and defend him"
Mr.. Blanton said people might talk
all they pleased about Turkish atrocf-
ties but that he could think of no
.-atrocity' greater than that at Her
