Keystone Automobile Club, said today
that the club would back movement
in the next Legislature to amend ex
listing automobile laws 40 drivers will
be compelled to take an examination
before getting a license.
Mr.. Weeks also would have licenses
for drivers kept separate from owners
licenses, 80 that an owner who desires
to drive his own car would be compelled
to have a drivers license as well ns q
license as owner.
Announcement of the intended legis
lative campaign was made by Mr..
Weeks while discussing the ruling Of
Deputy Attorney General Brown that
one holding nm owners license cannot
legally drive any automobile other than
his own: =,
cense giving him the right to drive n
machine, no long as he does not infringe
upon the license issued to paid drivers, -
Mr.. Weeks said.
However, it Is no use to make a
fight on the opinion now because we
expect a colsplete change Of laws regu .
lating automobile driving when the Leg.
islnture meets in January.
There Is no question that we ore
coming to realize the need Of examina
tions before licenses TO drive are issued

Await Outcome.

Washington, Sept. S.-Labor lead
ers here were awaiting today the out
come Of their first legal move against
the injunction obtained by the gov
ernnent in Chicago last Friday
against the striking railway shop
crafts-the suit of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
one Of the striking organizations, to
prevent the federal authorities from
enforcing locally the provisions of the
Chicago order.
The suit, filed iu the District Of
Columbia supreme court yesterday
and set for hearing tomorrow. as
sailed the legality Of the Chicago in
junction, questioned the jurisdiction
of the Chicago court, and denied that
the plaintiffs had been guilty of any
illegal act before or since" July l.
The electrical workers were said to
have acted without reference to the
other six organizations on strike In
filing the petition. but officials of the
union said they expected both the
temporary order, which they hoped
would issue tomorrow and the per-
manent writ also sought would have a
nation Vide scope.
Department of justice officials while
declining to comment for publication
on the suit of the union, expressed
the opinion unofficially that II the
district supreme court should grant
the temporary restraining order. 1t
would lead to wide possibilities OF
injunctions and restraining orders
granted BY that court under the Sher-
man and Clayton acts being upset BY
courts of other jurisdictions.
