Decision by U. S, Court on
Daugherty Restraining Or
der to Be Given Out on
Saturday

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. I'll
Outbreaks of violence in Birming-
ham railroad districts last night
caused renewed energy on the part
city and county authorities today
In an effort to put down use of high
explosives.
Rigid inquiry was being made in
connection with the blowing up last
night of box car used as bunk
house for workers in the yards of
the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road at Boyles. A charge of high
explosives smashed the car to bits
and one man, Clarence w. Jones,
s severely injured. Another man
in the car, S. E. Clark, escaped as
bv a miracle, officers said. The car
was fitted as a sleeping place for
eight men. The six others who had
places in the car were at work.
IN T;.rrant City officers found a
bundle composed Of ten sticks Of dy-
Mantle. with a half burned fuse at
t he'd in the yard of j. W. Kenne-
dy, an employee of the American Bis
cult company. Kennedy's home is
next door to that of an employee of
the Louisville and Nashville shops,
investigation disclosed, and officers
stated that it was their belief that
an attempt had been made to blow
up the railroad mans residence. but
bJ mistake the explosive was tossed
into the Kennedy yard.
The fuse had been lighted, in
restigating officers found, but had
become extinguished, probably when
the bundle of explosives struck the
earth. There was said to have been
sufficient dynamite in the bundle to
have blown several houses to bits.

COURT DECISION ON
RESTRAINT ORDER DEFERRED
CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-Judce
James H. Wilkerson this afternoon
deferred decision on the govern.
ments bill for a temporary injunc-
ton against the railroad strikers I'M
til Saturday, and continued the re-
straIning order now in effect until
that time.
In effect the court told the attor-
neys, the extension is a temporary
injunction as the restraining order
expires tonight at midnight.
Judge Wilkerson said the delay
would give him time to study the
evidence further.
He set Saturday morning at II
o'clock for his decision.
When Mr.. McLaugh him concluded
speaking for the government the at
torney general read the proposed in
junction to the court. 4
Virtually the only difference bs
tween it and the temporary restrain
ing order now in effect, the govern
ment's attorneys said, is in the list
of persons named.
Practically all the drastic clauses
of the restraining order have been
retained, they said.
Comparison of the draft read by
Mr.. Daugherty with a copy of tho
restraining order showed it not only
had not been modified but in fact
was reinforced with even more dras
tic definitions and terms.
The only modification is a para
erapn stating that there is no re
straint on the use Of union funds for
lawful purposes. The bill also asks
the continuation of the restraining
order against all defendants who
have not been heard in court.
"This order does not question the
right of a man or any number of
men to strike, but Il restraints them
from unlawfully Striking back,
Mr. Daugherty SAID. The ENFORCE
ment of tils decree will not deprive
any man of any lawful right. On
the other hand it will afford protec-
ton to every man and all men equal
Nv, who come within its operation,
in each and every lawful right"
Although Attorney General Daugh-
erty and Ills aides had made no in
dication O.. anv intention to recon-
mend modification CT the order, pre-
dictions were made, by persons who
have watched the proceedings close
", that some of the drastic clausek
of the writ would be toned down
in the injunction which the govern
ment attorneys would ask Judge
Wilkcrson to sign.
NEGOTIATIONS between officials of
the st. Louis and San Francisco
system and the newly formed shop
unions have resulted in satisfactory
agreements on wages and working
conditions, according to announce
ments at Springfield. Mo.
