PUSHING CASE
AGAINST THE
STRIKERS
Government Attorneys Sub
nit Proof of Crimes

Chicago, Sept IA (By the Asso-
ifciated Press) government
today speeded up its case against
the striking rail crafts in an eff
fort to complete the evidence in
support of Attorney General
Daugherty's injunction bill by
Saturday neon.
While two assistant attorneys
general and Blackburn Easter1ine,
assistant to the solicitor general,
worked inarelays reading addition
al afidavits of violence during the
progress of the strike, the defense
announced it would seek to show
the railroad executives were in
a conspiracy to force a strike in an
effort to wreck. the unions.
The government has sought to
show presumption of conspiracy
among the shopmen to carry out
acts of violence attorneys for the
defense said. I've will show a
strong presumption that certain
rail executives were in conspiracy
to destroy the unions.
1--WE will show they first sought
to bring ON a strike and then did
everything in their power to pre-
vent peace
Evidence which the unions could
not produce heretofore because it
might hurt their peace negotiations
with Daniel Willard and other rail
presidents can now be brought for
ward, it was said.
If the government completes its
case by Saturday noon four days
will be left for the defense and for
final arguments, before the eXpir-
alton of the present restraining or
der which is Thursday night. Per-
mission was unoficiaHy given the
unions today to stage tag days in
Chicago and other cities to raise
funds for the relief Of families Of
strikers. Donald r. Richberg and
Frank IuIho1land, attorneys for
iB. NJ. Jewell and John Scott,
president and secretary-treasurer,
respectively, Of the railway en-
|ployees department, American
Federation Of Labor, raised the
question of whether tag day cam
|paigns would violate the restrain
ing order. Judge James H. WIKI
erson said he knew nothing in the
order which would prevent tag
fund campaigns and the govern
rnent's attorneys assured the de-
fense attorneys they had the gov-
ernment's permission to go ahead.

A very creditable exhibit of the
work of the children's sewing classes
which are conducted weekly by the
Ladies' Auxiliary of the Y. M. c. A,
was held at the Chamber of Commerce
auditorium, Saturday afternoon from
two to four o'clock. At this time the

daughters to view the exhibit, to meet
the teachers, and to enjoy social
hour over cups of chocolate, and see
the inimitable Charlie Chaplin in

Mrs. H. 3. Cation and Miss 1nez G..
Rea, the special sewing teacher who
now has supervision of the school.
It was very interesting to see the
progress which some of the younger
pupils had made since their entry in
the school in the fall, as was abund-
antly Evidenced by the Improvement
of their work on their samplers for
! learning the stitches. Some OF the
older girls who were on garment
making had some splendid work on
exhibit, notably bloomers, night
gown with hand embroidery, and a
very attractive and well made kimono.
The mothers were evidently delight
ed with the work which their daugh-
ters had ACCOMPLISHED judging by the
comments which were made to the
teachers and their genuine apprecia-
ton of the value of the school,
Beginning the first Saturday in
February, new classes will open for
beginners who may desire to enter at
this time, and already several new
names have been received for en-
rollment.
1t is interesting to note that several
pupils are enrolled from places out

them being Del Ray and Mt. Vernon

even; combination basting, tucking,

MINISTER'S
HOLD MEETING
Ask Full Investigation of
Alleged Divorce Evil
(Communicated)

At called meeting of the Min
listers Association of Alexandria held
Saturday afternoon, January 2lst., it
was RESOLVED that the undersign-
ed pastors present at this meeting
greatly deplore the unenviable motor
iety into which our beloved city has
been brought by the assertions pub
llShed in certain newspaper as to
the administration of the divorce laws
and that whereas the pastors have
been reproachcd in the columns of the
same paper for their alleged silence
as to the charges made, it seems to US
wise and proper to pronounce no as
sured judgement until such charges
shall have been investigated and the
facts fully ascertained; and that we
are confidently and hopefully depend
ing upon the Bar of the City through
its chosen committee to make full
and thorough investigation without
fear or favor, with view to main
tanning the dignity of the Law and
promoting the welfare of our City
State and Country.
1t should also in fairness be noted
that whereas the charges made direct
ly involve few persons, who may or
may not be guilty, there are many
others. both lawyers and househoders,
who have consistently refused to
profit by opportunities to enrich them
selves in the manner suggested.
