most far reaching and drastic In
junction ever seen in an industrial
crisis. The American Federation OF

ing that the federation sponsor a
general sympathy strike will be
placed before the council as a mat

Chicago, sept. 2.-While rigid re-
strictions were placed by the injunc-
ton granted the United States gov
enment yesterday on all participants

continued to make hlac; ,aarks on
the current history @" the shop

included derailment Of passenger
train in Indiana, bombing of some

mite plot against the Louisiana rail
road, attempt to derail an Ohio train,
derailment in Florida, attempt to
blow up bridge in Ohio and threat
ened walkout Of the Missouri, Kan

washington, Sept. 2.-The coun-
try can Iook forward to gloomy
winter Of virtual wartime regulation
of the whole railroad system, govern
ment transportation experts agreed |
today.
Even if the prolonged strike Of |
railway shOpmen should be settled |
next week, which is not at all likely, |
the tremendous burden placed on the
carriers as result of stOppage of re-
pairs, the acute coal shortage and
the seasonal movement of crops,
would be sufficient to insure months
of strict regulation of shipping, it
was said.
For all practical purposes the rail
roads Of the country today are oper-
ating under wartime restrictions.
