Especial Moline serylce.1

Orders restraining the striking
shopmen from picketing in the vi
cinity of the railroad yards at Sill
Wis were posted yesterday by a
United States marshal, who was
accompanied by a deputy sheriff,
but picketing was going on as usual
today. Peaceful picketing, the
strikers believe, is not in violation
of the order, and they are of the
opinion that no force will be used
to stop picketing SO long as they
stay off the company's property
and modest no one.
The first intoxicated person seen
on the streets of Silvis since the
strike began was sighted by the DO
lice last night. The offender and
three companions were locked up
until the effects of the liquor wore
off. The men were floaters. They
were headed for the yards, where
they said they intended boarding a
freight for Chicago.

were served yesterday on. L, C,

RAILROADS BUY
MANY new CARS
Figures From Railway Age Show
Stock Purchases Not Retarded
by Strikes.

Chicago, July 22.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-A marked drop from
the railroad equipment prices Of
the last two years caused a sudden
jump in the purchase of passenger
and freight ears and locomotives
during the first half of this year,
according to an announcement of
the Railway Age today.
In the first six months of 1922,
the railroads of the country pur-
chased SS,172 freight cars, COM
pared with 23,346 for all of last
year. They bought 1872 locomo-
tives, compared with 239 bought in
1921, and 1.232 passenger cars, in
contrast to 246 during the year
1921.
In addition, in the first three
weeks of July, ORDERS were placed
for Ill locomotives, 9,475 freight
cars, and IL passenger cars.
1.-THE most interesting feature of
these figures" the Railway Age
says, sis that while the car and 10
connective buying this year has not
been exactly spectacular or record
breaking, It has gone on during a
period when there was a car sur
plus and when there were a large
