Labor Demands
Removal Attorney
General Daugherty
(Dy Associated PressD

Washington, Oct. 2-Resolutlons
demanding the removal Of Attorney
General Daugherty were adopted
yesterday by the central labor union
at meeting at which Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, charged the attor-
ney general with violating the law
in seeking an injunction against
striking railway shopmen.
Support also was pledged in the
resolutions to the effect to bring
about the impeachment of Mr.. Dau-
gherty "that the department of JUS
tice may be purged and prified Of an
influence which has Ndesmirched it and
degraded it in the eyes of right
thinking men and women who know
the facts"
Mr.. Gompers declared that since
1918 the appropriation bill for the de-
partment of justice carried each year
provision that none Of the money
appropriated by congress should be
used by the attorney general 'to
prosecute working people in their eff
forts to better conditions" The
transportation act also purposely
avoided legislation, he said, which
would compel men to work against
their will, adding that President
Harding in his address to congress
had called attention to this fact.
In an hour and half speech Mr.
Gompers discussed the injunction
proceedings, declaring Mr.. Daugher-
ty had "wantonly violated" the pro-
vision in the appropriation bill for
his department when he sought the
writ from Judge Wilkerson; whose
mind he knew"

CREDITORS TAKE HAND
Will Hold Meeting in

to Discuss Plans

Following the appointment of re-

pany Saturday on petition of certain
of the stockholders, other stockhold-
ers filed a petition in involuntary
bankruptcy to protect the interests,
it is said, of creditors. Developments
came rapidly after being once start
ed, and caused considerable discus
sion locally.
Following the death of President
H. c. Cummings some time ago the
affairs of the company were in the
hands of J. P. Buie. vice president,
,and James c. Knepton general man.
ager, and the plant was being oper-
ated as usual, 1t is understood that
there was friction in this arrange
ment and one faction wished a change
lin management and sought to secure
it by asking for receiver. A Mr.
Williams, Of Jacksonville, was named
receiver. As soon as news of this
move was received stockholders rep
.resenting the other faction filed a
petition in involuntary bankruptcy,
preferring a liquidation of the COM
.pany's affairs to going through a
long and expensive court procedure.
Jacksonville creditors, in concert
with Palatka creditors, contend for
the bankruptcy method of admins
tering the affairs of the company
believing that this is the surest way
of protecting the creditors. 1t is ad.
mitted that the company is entirely
solvent, having assets of over $780,
GOO against liabilities of approx
mately $150,OOO.
At meeting of local creditors this
morning DR.. L. W. Warren, T. E
MobIey and C. C. Hudson were named
a committee to go to Jacksonville
Tuesday and represent the Palatka
creditors at meeting of all the cred
itors there, and to map out plan of
procedure. They will contend for a
continuance of the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings and a dismissal of the re-
ceiver.
In the meantime the plant of the
company has shut down and will
probably remain shut down until
matters are finally adjusted.

HORNSBY CR0WNE D

DEFEATING RUTH
ORx Associated Pressl

New York, Oct. 2-Rogers Horns
by, besides batting himself into base
balls hall of fame as the first ma
tional Lacquer to finish with mark
over 400 in % years, has succeeded
Babe Ruth as home run king.
Hornsby finished the season with
AZ circuit clouts, II behind Ruth's
record crop of SO the season before.
Ken Williams, of the St. Louis
Browns, leading the American lea
guers, was three behind the Cardinal
star with 80. Tillie Walker, of the
Athletics, occupied third place with
81 and the former monarch, Ruht,
registered 80 four base blows.
Ruth, despite the handicap of a
late start, due to his suspension, was
unable to gain on Hornsby from the
time he repoined the Yanks on May
90 The Card clouter had six home
runs when the Babe was returned to
good standing and finished the sea-
son seven ahead of his Yankee rival.
Williams, who with Walter Henline
of the Phillies, holds the unusual dis
tinction of hitting three homers in a
single game this season, led the home
run sluggers at the time of Ruth's
re-entry, with eleven to his credit.
The Browns star collected his hom-
srs in spurts, however, while Horns
by plugged away at the fences at a
steady, consistent pace.
Analysis of the home run records
shows Hornsty and Walker each hit
two circuit blows in a single game,
Ruth has performed the feat four
times.
An odd feature of the team record
for the season is that the Philadel-
phia clubs, occupying seventh place
