Workers Seek impeachment
Of Attorney General Daugherty
(By The Federated Press)


New York. Impeachment Of Atty.
Gen. Daugherty and Of Federal Judge
Wilkerson. the principals in the Chica-
go open shop" injunction against the
striking railway shopmen, is demanded
BY John Dowd, chairman, eastern strike
committee Of the railmen. Dowd wired
Sen. Borah as follows:
"On behalf Of 25.000 railroad shop
men on strike in the New York metro
politan district we urge upon you the
immediate necessity for the impeach-
ment Of Atty. Gen. Harry M. Daugh-
erty and Federal Judge WiIkerson.
"The injunction against the striking
railroad shopmen requested BY the at
torney general and issued by Judge
Wilkerson. constitutes a violation by
high government officials of the con
stitutional guarantee Of American free
dom and Of specific federal statutes
without precedent in the history Of the
nation.
''Soft words of Interpretation spoken
in high official quarters after the is
suance Of the injunction cannot miti.
gate the plain language and intent o.
the document. Nor can they wipe oui
the astounding admission BY the attor-
ney general, reported in the press the
day the order was issued. that he woulc
use the power Of the government tc
maintain the open shop"

SH0PfaEN QUIT WORK
I'm NATIONWIDE MOVE
transportation Machine Continues Its Activities Without
nterruption-Thousands Respond to Unions Summons

Chicago, July 1.-4With the country
wide strike of shopmen declared b,
union leaders TO be virtually 100 pei
cent effective, the nations great trans
portation machine continues it's work
without interruption.
Railway executives were unanimous
In expressing their belief that tho
strike would have little effect on the
operation Of their roads and at the
same time asserted that any move to-
ward a settlement would have to come
from the United States labor board OF
the employees.
u. M, Jewell, president Of the rail-
road department Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, who yesterday re-
fused to appear at federal inquiry
into the strike call, reiterated that the
only basis for settlement was for the
roads to agree not to put into effect
wage decrces recently ordered for the
shopmen by the labor board.
Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the
labor board, declared in formal state
ment that the power Of the govern
ment, coupled with public sentiment,
will give every protection to every
railway employee who remains on the
job and to all new men who take the
places Of the strikers in the present
walkout.
Mr. Hooper asserted that the strike
was called against the decisions Of
federal tribunal over rulings laid down
after careful consideration Of the evil
dence on both sides. The men who
take the places Of the striking shop
men will rennder public service, he
declared, and should therefore be i'm
mune from he characterization of
"scab" or "strikebreaker."
The walkout began in all sections of
the country promptly at 10 a. m. and
in many places took on the aspect of
a holiday, the men singing and cheer
ing as they threw down their tools AS
reports came ito union headquarters
during the day, leaders asserted that
the ranks Of the strikers would numBer
more than three-Gmarters of The 400 600
membership before night. Later MI.
jewell said that reports from 1873. OF the
201 Glass 1 railroads showed practi-
cally 100 per cent. He added that he
hoped to be able to give more accurate
figures, by tomorrow night
The only display Of force reported
during the day was at Beardstown,
Ill.,, where several hundred shopmen,
after falling to persuade four COM
panions to join them in the walkout,
picked them up bodily and carried
them out. 1--WE sent them home" the
leader was quoted as saying, "to avoid
trouble" In Chicago, the hub Of the
