considering the difficulties Of pre-

"It is unfortunate that in a suit

Daugherty said his future moves will
be governed entirely by the actions of
the persons enjoined.
In his presentation before the court.
Mr.. Daugherty reviewed the efforts
at mediation, particularly President
Harding's attempts to end the strike.
He called attention to the fact that
the railroad labor board is an agency
Of the government and that the presi-
dent issued a proclamation calling
upon the strikers to return to work,
obey the boards decisions, and in any
event rot to interfere with the trans
portation service or with men willing
to enter Or continue in service.
The defendants in refusing to ac-
cept the labor boards decision cutting
wages, he said, have "repudiated the
labor board and it's authority and hold
the labor board and the government
Of the United States in contempt"
Calling attention to the declaration
of the president before congress that
"the government can have no chart
for it's course except the law" the
attorney general continued:
"There are statutes forbidding con-
spiracy to hinder interstate COM
merce; there are laws to assure the
highest possible safety to railway ser
vice. It Is my purpose to invoke
these laws, civil and criminal, against
all offenders alike"

the proposed extension of the I'm

SHOPMEN STAND /
WITH DAUGllERTY

Washington, Sept. ] (By the Aso-
ciated Press) Tin official
circles as deliberate manifestation
of the administrations determina-
tion to use its every powef to restore
normal transportation fasilitiss, the
injunction issued today by Federal
District Judge Wilkerson fin Chicago
was denounced by labor leaders here
as an Outrageous" invasion of strik-
ers' rights, which should hot be per-
mitted to interfere with the efforts
of them and their friendsito win the
shopmen's strike.
The restraining order DID not rep
resent the limit to which the govern
ment was prepared to Cd should it
find that ''other steps are necessary"
administration spokesmeH declared,
but they refused to indicate what
avenue would be followed If supple
mentary action was TAKEN
w. H. johnson, who ss president of
the International Association Of Ma
chinists, represents one of the largest
groups of men on strikes declared the
restraining order would not influence
the strike leaders to- abate in the
slightest their efforts to make their
fight effective. President Samuel
Gompers of the American Fedora
tion of Labor echoed this assertion,
adding that the federatton's view
would be as stated in the past: That
injunctions which invaded constitu-
tional rights" should be treated as
scraps of paper"
Both at the White House and the
department of justice direct comment
was withheld, officials iHsisting that
the governments brief sspoke for it
self"
The secret of Attorney General
Daugherty's visit to Chicago had
been so we'll kept that some mem
bers of the administration as well as
of the senate and house were taken
by surprise by the filing of the suit
and the issuance of the courts tenn
porary order, which followed quick
ly. Chairman Cumminss of the SEN
ate interstate commerce committee,
who had maintained close touch with
the industrial situation sirrce its in
ception, however, said he had been
consulted in regard TO the move. He
expressed approval. addipg that his
attitude would be the sksaAS howard
"any move that VIA help keep the
railroads in operation"
Discussion of the proposed suit &C.
cupied recent meeting Of the cab
met, it was said, and developed a de-
cided difference of opinion as to its
advisability between certain Of Pres
ident Harding's advisers. In some
circles President Harding was under
stood to have, for q time at least
aligned himself among those opposed
to seeking court action in the emer-
gency, which he was said to conceive
as the direct responsibility Of the ex'
ecutive department.
Later, however, when the apparent
collapse Of efforts to settle the strike
had been followed by instances OF
violence on many railroads, Mr.
Harding was said to have approved
the attorney generals recommenda
tion that such legal action should b'
added to other efforts of the govern
ment to prevent such outbreaks.
The injunction petition was held by
the department of justice to be vel
L thn
tion in the famous Debbs case il
1895, which subsequently, was sus
tanned by a decision of the Unitet
States supreme court.
