More Than 15OO Citizens Gather and Adopt Resolutions Calling for Immediate Re mOval of Daugherty for Violating COnsti- tuition.

More than 1900 citizens of New Haven assembled fn Music Hall in mass meeting last Saturday afternoon and in no uncertain terms denounced the actoin of Attorney General Daugherty in the injunction proceed ings started by him against the str1k- ing railroad shoprnen and at the con clusion adopted resolutions demand ing his impeachment for violation of the Constitution and abuse of the laws of the land. Copeis of the reso- 1ution were sent to every member of Congress from Connecticut and they told that 1t Is the will of the people that they do everything in their pow CT to bring about the impeachment.
 The meeting was but one of thou sands held on or about October I all over the country at instlgat1on of the Executive Council of the A. F. of L. and was conducted here under the auspices of the New Haven Trades Council and the striking shop crafts. Joseph Tone of the Machinists pre- sided and the principal speakers were I. M. Ornburn, president of the Trades Council; P. F. O'Meara, presi- dent of the State Federation of La Dor; John Fly Smith of the New Ha- ven Carpenters, No. 70, and chairman of the committee that arranged the meeting, and John Dunn, organizer of the Holders.
 President Ornburn and MT. Smith analysed Daugherty and his actoins and time after time were interrupted by tumu1tous applause. Facts taken from the attacks made upon Daugh- erty on the floor in Congress and quoted in the Congressional Record were given the meeting and were sufficient in themselves to warrant the action that twas later taken. MT. Ornburn also showed how Wilkerson the judge who issued the injunction. was a pal of Daugherty's and had been a personal appointee of his to succeed the anti-labor Judge Landis now ar bitter of baseball and that when Daugherty struck at the s5opmen he rushed to Chicago to his bosom, friend and got the injunction instead of seeking an unbiased judge in Washington where he belonged, or elsewhere. The resolutions were then offered by MT. .Ornburn and were adopted wtihsa whoop. They are as follows:
 "Whereas, There is on the statute books of the United States a law familiarly known as the Clayton Act under which injunctions against Or ganized Labor or other unions on strike are expressly forbidden, and
 "Whereas, Attorney General Daugherty has deliberately not only ignored this law but actually Haunted and violated 1t in seeking the injunc- ton against the striking railroad shop crafts for the benefit, not of the pub lie but of the special interests which are seeking to destroy Organized Labor, and by so doing has proved that he cares nothing for the statute laws of these United States which he was appointed to and sworn to uphold and enforce, and
 "Whereas, In the terms of~the 1n- junction sought for and secured by Attorney General Daugherty he again deliberately violated the Constitution of the United States which guaran- tees the right of free speech, free press and peaceful assembly,; there fore be 1t ~.
 Resolved, That we, citizens of New Haven, Conn, in mass meeting as sembled this goth day of September, 1922, demand the immediate impeach- ment of Attorney General Daugherty for violation of the Constitution of the United States ahd the abuse of the statute law of the land, and, be 1t further
 Resolved, That capies of this reso> Iution be sent to the representatives from Connecticut in the United States Congress and they be informed that it is the will of the people of this community that they lend every aid in their power to. bring about such in1pe ch mont ]"
