Gompers Attacks Harding . and Daugherty on lssu-
 ance of Injunction
SAY INJUNCTION WRONG
Gompers Declares That Order Shows Shopsnent Have Nearly
 Won Their Fight

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4.-Presi dent Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor in a Labor Day address said that the injunction issued against the railroad shopmen last week was a violation of the constitu- tion and the laws of the land. He char acterized the action of Attorney Gen eral Daugherty as exercising power never dreamed ofin the history of the republic"
 The veteran labor chief said the injunction was wrong in principle and in fact and was a confession that the shopmen have nearly won their strike. He urged that the unions furnish money to support the women and chil- dren of the men on strike.
 ''The men must fight and take care of themselves" he declared.
 President Harding and Attorney General Daugherty were criticized by MT. Gompers for the issuance of the injunction, and he asserted that both had advocated legislation to bring about compulsory labor" The party of Lincoln which freed the slaves, said MT. Gompers, now is trying to force compulsory labor on the whites

 Star, Turns Down Offer

CHICAGO. Sept. 4-Niwanna Mi Cor, who in every day life is Miss Muriel Mccormick has refused a $1,, OOO,000 contract to appear in a mo- tion picture according to close friends.
 Miss Mccormick refused to make any comment on her plans today being busy moving from the home of her father, Harold F. Mccormick, who re- gently married Gamma Walska, the Pol ish opera star, to an attic studio, three flights up, where she will pursue her operatic studies.
 The apartment she will occupy is just across the street from the home of her mother, Mrs. Edith Rockefeller Mccormick, daughter of John D. Rock efeller, from who she has been es. tranged since the divorce which was obtained by Mrs. Mccormick on char. ges of desertion.

COP. Opponents Seeking to Bring
 Up Klan Question

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 4-The program of the Democratic state com mittee will be contested when the state convention opens tomorrow by supporters of the Ku Klux Klan it was understood tonight. Klan leaders are planning to nominate l.. R. Carpenter, of Dallas, for chairman of the state convention. This action, it is believed will lead to division of the convention on the klan issue.
 Marshall Hicks, Of San Antonio. is the candidate for the chairmanship put forth by the state committee. Car penter was nominated for the state legislature in the recent primary cleo ton and is said to have been support ed by the klan.
 Political interests of the state cen tered in San Antonio tonight. The state convention will seat more than 1900 Delegates, according to State Sec retary Joseph w. Hall. A large ma jority of these had arrived tonight and scores of other party supporters were on hand.
 Republican opponents are present all so and apparently are seeking to bring the klan issue to a vote at the Dem Ocratic convention.

Arrests Expected To Result In Test Case
Private Management To Take Over Mexican Railways; Give Debt Agreement Summary

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The Ameri can section of the international com rnittee of bankers on Mexico today made public a summary of the plan of readjusting Mexicos external debt of $700, ,000,0QO, which was included in their agreement last June with Fin ance Minister de la Huerta. Simul- taneously, the plan which provides for a resumption of interest payments, in default since 1913, was given out in London, Paris, Mexico City, and Berlin.
 After listing the bonds and other obligations of the government and the national railways of Mexico, which, under the program are to be returned to private management, the bankers recommended certain conclusions to the security holders.
 In view of these conclusions, the Mexican government will set aside during the next five years 50,000,000 pesos. (S25,OOO,0OO gold United States dOpars) so as to resume at the end of

that period full cash service on it's obligations. If for any reason the proposed plan is not fully carried out, the bond holders are to resume their contractional rights as existing prior to that time.
 To meet the bond coupons maturing after January ?, 1923, the Mexican government will place in a special fund the entire proceeds of the oil ex- port tax, 10 per cent of the gross rev enues of the national railways and the entire net operating revenues of these railways. Interest payments of these coupons, will, during the first year be made on scale varying from 50 to 100 per cent on the external loans, at the rate of 25 per cent on the internal three and five per cent bonds, 50 per cent on the state bonds and in general from 50 to 65 per cent on the railway loans, except that the railway notes secured by the government bonds are to receive 100 per cent.

Test Case of Federal lnjunc- ton May Result; Charged
 With Violating Order
ONLY 2 ARRESTS MADE
Supposed Attempt to Derail Train Turns Out to Be
 Prank of Boys

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-The arrest of two alleged violators of the temporary injunction obtained by the government Friday to prevent violence and inter ference with interstate traffic as a re. suit of the railway shopcrafts' strike, was expected to result in a test of the extent of the injunction when the men are arraigned before Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson tomorrow.
 The two taken into custody today, said to be striking shopmen of the Illinois Central railroad with Hugh Noonan, arrested Sunday on charges of violating the injunction. represent the total of arrests in Chicago since Judge Wilkerson handed down his edict at the request of Attorney Gen eral Daugherty.
 One of the men arrested today was accused of throwing stones through the window of the home of a non- union worker. The other was charged with loitering in the vicinity of the Burnside shops and refusing to leave.
 What was believed at first reports to be an attempt to derail the fast golf special of the Illinois Central near the outskirts of the city later was de- clared to be the prank of five boys by Marshal Robert R. Levy. A bar put on the tracks by the boys was removed before the approach of the train.
