FINAL TESTIMONY
FOR GOVERNMENT
Attorneys for Jewell and Scott
Have Four Days Includ-
ing Arguments.

Chicago, Sept, 16.-The govern
mens completed its plea for an in
junction against the rail strikers to-
day and rested its case
Judge Wilkerson adjourned court
until Monday, when attorneys for
B. NJ. Jewell and John Scott, presi-
dent and secretary-treasurer, res
pectively, of the railway employees,
department American Federation
of Labor, will open the defense.
The government rested on the
strength of some 600 afidavits
charging violence, intimidation and
destruction of property during the
strike. No direct evidence connect
ing any of the union officials with
the alleged conspiracy, to destroy
Interstate traffic was given, but at
torneys representing Attorney Cen
eral Daughertly contend that the
existence Of such widespread disor-
der indicated the unions and their
officials are responsible for it.
Donald R. Richberg and Frank
Mulholland, attorneys for Jewell
and Scott, the only two of the 240
union leaders and 100000 strikers
effected by the indictment who are
represented in court, are preparing
they say, to offer evidence in sup
port Of the unions claim of a coun-
terconspiracy against them. The
union leaders charge that the rail-
road executives entered into a cons
piracy, first to force a strike, and
then to destroy the unions. Certain
leaders of the executives, they cop-
tended, held out against any peace
settlement as part Of this alleged
conspiracy against the union.
Four days are left for the defense
and for final argument before the
temporary restraining order now in
force will automatically expire.
Judge Wilkerson has called the at
attention of the lawyers to the fact
that it will not be renewed and un-
less the injunction hearing is COM
Melted before Thursday the unions
will be free from its provisions.
