WASHINGTON Aug. (Associated

statement to-day declared there should
be inquiry by public officials mot under
the influence of the railroad authorities
in every railroad accident. In view OF
what he described as ''the largest num-

He declared reports OF railroad
wrecks had been frequent recently and
cited the Missouri Pacific wreck at Sui

This legislation is conceived for

Persistent reports circulated today
that if leaders of the shopmen refused
to abide by the terms of the Injunction,
the United States army would be called
to protect the railroads.
Federal troops will not be used until
all other means of enforcing the in

local police, railroad guards and United
States marshaIs will be able to meet
the situation.
Should these forces, aided by addi-

check on violence, state troops would

federal troops pressed into service, he
stated. ..
President Harding is thoroughly in
accord with Daugherty's action, it

move TO CIl0Ck oCrlke
CHICAGO, Sept. 2--Strike leaders re-
covered from the bombshell thrown yes
terday by Attorney General Daugherty
and made no move to check the strike.
A guarded statement of the head
quarters of the Federated Shoperafts
declared that organization would sup
port the government S efforts to send
lawlessness and violence in connection
with the strike.
The statement declared, however, cit
can hardly be assured that the federal
court intended to restrain those lawful
acts necessary III carrying the legitim-
| ate work of labor organizations.
Union leaders speculated as to how
far the government would go in back
ing the court order.
They pointed out that mere grim
ace or word of encouragement to
striker would make the giver liable to
contempt of court.
The government stood ready TO take
even more drastic steps, it was indicat
ed.
Use of state and national troops and
the issuing of receiverships for all roads
were among the measures considered.
Brotherhoods Give UP
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept 2.-Issu-
ance of the federal injunction against
striking shopmen has rendered the "Big
Four brotherhoods powerless to make
any further attempts to settle the dis
pute or to aid the strikers financially.
This was the opinion expressed today
by ID. r. Robertson and Warren S.
Stone, presidents of the firemen and en-
gineers respectively.
"We can do nothing further,' they
announced. ''We can't discuss the
strike with shopcraft leaders or we vio-
late the injunction. We are restrained
from turning over donations from our
members to the shopmen.
