u. S. to Stop
Government Granted Tenn
porary Injunction Against
Interference in Any Way
With Railroads.
Effective Until Sept. II.


Chicago, Sept. i.-(By A. P)-The
United States government today was
granted a temporary order restraining
against the six striking railroad shop
craft unions. their officials and men,
bers from interfering in any way with
the operation OF the railroads and
their properties.
The order was granted by Federal
District Judge James II. Wilkerson
on application OF United States At
torney General Harry M. Daugherty
and District Attorney Charles +.
Cline. The order will remain in
force until September IL. pending
hearings on governments application
for permanent writ OF Injunction.
The underlying principle in
volyed in this action" Attorney Gem
eral Daugherty said in concluding
his plea for the court order. is the
survival and supremacy OF the gov
ernment OF the United States"
Unions Cannot Dictate.
The attorney general addressed the
court Immediately following the
reading OF the formal complaint, read
\ by Assistant Solicitor General
Easterline. His plea for the in
junction, Mr.. Daugherty said, was
made necessary by the fact that
there comes time in the history of
all nations when the people must be
advised whether they have a gov
ernment or not"
mo union, or combination of
unions can, under our law, dictate to
the American union,' the statement
continued. when the unions claim
the right to dictate to the govern
ment and to dominate the American
people and deprive the people
of necessities OF life, then the gov
ernment will destroy the unions. for
the government OF the United States
is supreme and must endure"
For Protection of Unions.
Tomorrow il will be said by
some more malicious than
truthful that this preceding is in
tended as death blow to the
unions. In my judgement
this movement (the injunction) is
neSessdfy IOI tHc pfotcCtion ana
preservation of the unions Them
scives."
80 long, and to the extent that l
can speak for the government of the
United States, ! will use the power

troll TO prevent the labor unions Of

Eastern Roads
Give Evidence
in Wage Hearing
Take Stand Living Costs Do
Not Justify Change in Rates
Paid Maintenance
Workers.

Chicago, Sept. l.-Documentary
evidence intended to show that the
cost of living had not increased Yif-
hciently in the last three months to
warrant any change in wages OF
maintenance Of way employees was
presented before the railroad labor
board by Attorney Jacob Aaronson
of the New York Central lines, rep
resenting eastern lines.
Section laborers in the eastern ter
ritory are being paid 37l cents an
hour, compared to an average OF
327 throughout the country, Mr..
Aaronson said.
THE average rate for July, 1922"
declared the railroad spokesman, is
1895 per cent increase over the av-
erage hourly rate of 1915, leaving
these classes of employees 1877 per
cent better off than they were in
1915, after making due allowance for
the reduction in their wages on
July L."
The monthly wages OF $l47.58 OF
section foremen in July, 1922, repre-
sents an increase OF 1914 per cent
over 1915, the railroad statistics as
presented set forth. The index num-
Der for the cost of living for July,
1922, was 67 per cent higher than in
1915, according to the Department of
Labor, and the purchasing power Of
earnings in July of this year left en-
ployes 24,3 per cent better off than
they were in 1915, according to Mr..
Aaronson's evidence.
"The average hourly rate of 62.1
cents in July, 1922" said Mr.. Aaron
son, "for mechanics included in the
maintenance of way service is an in
crease of l2l.l8 per cent over 1915,
leaving this class 32.9 per cent better
off in purchasing power after making
due allowance for the reduction in
their wages on July L."
The exhibits presented covered
95,254 employees in the maintenance
OF way departments. Groups of em-
ployes with wages paid in similar
service outside the railroads were
shown.
