TAKING organized labor, and the
1 general public, entirely BY surprise,
the United States government last Fri
day obtained from Federal Judge J. II.
Wilkerson In Chicago temporary In
junction which, II fully enforced, will
make 1t impossible for the railway
shopmen to carry on their strike. Such
is the view Of 1t taken by the union
leaders, who, while protesting bitterly,
pledge compliance with at least part
Of the order.
The injunction, obtained by Attorney
General Daugherty In person, prohibits
leaders Of the striking shopmen and
Of other unions from:
Issuing any instruction or public
Statement to members Of their or
CARNATIONS to induce them to do or
say anything to cause. any railway EN-.
ployee to leave his work or to cause
any person to abstain from entering
employment Of a railroad.
Using funds of unions in furtherance
Of any act forbidden In Injunction.
All officers and members Of unions
or their agents are restrained from:
Engaging In picketing.
In any manner, by letters, circulars,
kilograms, telephone messages, by
word Of mouth or by interviews, en-
couraging any person to leave the en-
ploy of a railroad or to refrain from
entering such employ.
Interfering with or obstructing any
railway.
Hindering inspection, repair or
/. equipment Of locomotives or cars.
: Consplring or agreeing to hinder rail-
roads in the transportation Of passen-
gers, property and malls.
Interfering with employees going to
or returning from work, "by displays Of
force or numbers. threats. intimida.
'tions. acts Of violence, opprobrlous cpl.
thets, jeers taunts. or ehtreaties."
Lettering at or near places Of In.
gress and egfess for employees.
Trespassing on the premises Of any
railroad, or any other place except
"where the public generally are in
yited to come to transact business"
Doing any injury or bodily harm to
any erlplQyee of railroad.
On September II Judge Wilkerson
will hear arguments on the motion to
make the Injunction permanent. Two
days earlier the executive council Of
the American Federation Of Labor will
hold a previously arranged meeting in
Washington, and, according to Presi-
lent Gompers, 1t will consider the ad-
stability Of calling general strike Of
ti.ganIzed labor. Gompers denounced
Y -Aion as most outrageous"
md more ttAn intimated that its pro
visions wddid be ignored by labor lead
ers. He said general strike would
have to be indorsed by the various
units which make up the federation.
and added that there was already q
widespread demand for such action.
President Harding. according to
authoritative information from Wash.
ington, while admitting the Injunction
is the most sweeping ever obtained in
the United States, has expressed de.
termination to 90 yet further. II neces-
sary, to maintain transportation. and
is prepared to accept any consequences,
political or economic, which may re-
suit from the governments action. He
feels that he is thus protecting the
rights Of the public. but organized
labor says he has aligned the govern.
! ment on the side Of the railway execu.
tives.
The executive council Of the railway
employees department Of the A. F. Of
IL. issued statement to the effect that
enforcement Of the injunction against
lawlessness and violence In the shop
strike would be aided in every way by
