THE PALACE.

Not only is the Palace the only theater in the city presenting vaude- vile but to this is added the distinc- t1on that 1t IS the best vaudeville New Haven has ever seen. When the management of theater operating on a popular price scale is continually heading it's bills with names that are attractions in the $2 houses the pub lie needs no better proof that there is something unusual being offered and presenting such headliners at popular admissions is Palace habit and vii continue throughout the sea son. For Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday come Tom Bryan and Lillian Broderick, known from coast to coast as one of the best and clever est pair of entertainers in vaudeville, and one of the highest salaried, too. Bill Board Steps" is the title and it's funny, it's fast, it's unusual and it's clever. As an added attraction are the Veterans of Variety, an octette of en- of yesteryear. Then there is Katie Rooney, known as Little Katie nj years gone by. She Is the oldest daughter of the famous and beloved Pat. Who among grand parents, and parents of middle age, has not laugh ed at Eddie Girard, for years co-star with Henry v. Donnelly in Natural Gas" He will be seen at the Palace with his pals with nearly Go years on his shoulders and still his dancing IS inimitable. There is still another who requires little introduction and that is Annie Hart. Laura Bennett is another of the feminine stars who was one of the first to specialize in coon songs. All fat men are supposed to be funny but Ed Begley of "The Two Johns" fame is the champion of them all. Leonard Grover is anoth- CT. John Harding Is the musical di- rector, filling a position similar to that which he occupied with Pat Rooney years ago.
 Grouped about the two feature acts are Beulah Kennedy and Billie Davis in their pot pourr iof comedy, danc- ing and song called "Fun in One"; Mason and Shaw, pair of pretty girls, have a dance collection; Dan Boudini and Adele Bernard and Ultra Accordionists and the Wyoming Duo add a welcome touch of novelty.

SHOP STRIKERS
 SUE TO UPSET
 U. 5. INJUNCTION
Electrical Union Questions Power of Chicago Court to Restrain
 Country.

Washington, Sept 8.-Legality of the order obtained by the government from Federal District Judge Wilker- son at Chicago, restraining the strik- ing railway shopcrafts and the rail- road brotherhoods from interfering with transportation in prosecution of the shopmen's strike, was assailed yesterday in a suit filed in the supreme court of the District of Co., lumbia, by the International Brother hood of Electrical Workers, one of the organizations on strike. The questoin of jurisdiction of the Chica- go court was also raised by the peti- ton, which denied that the plaintiffs had been guilty of any illegal act before or since" July I.
 The electrica 1workers asked a per- manent injunction to prevent United States Attorney Gordon and United States Marshal Snyder, from enforc- ing locally the provisions of the Chi cago order. Within two hours after the filing of the suit-which was set for hearing tomorrow-Mr. Snyder had served forma lnotice of the Chi cago injunction on J. P. Noonan, president of the electrical workers, on most of the other local leaders named as defendants before Judge Wilker- son, and was instituting search for William H. Johnston, head of the Machinists' association, who was said to have disappeared again after vis- iting his office.

The sheriff went into the shop yards and found the bomb, buried under some leaves and brush The guilt of the deputy was completely estab- lished."
 President B. M. Jewell of the Rail- ways Employees Department, recently forecasted what the railroads were up to. He declared that their organs were forecasting a reign of terror and he urged the strikers to be on their guard to expose the perpetrators.
 These crimes have happened at such widely separated points and had been so carefully timed as to suggest the inspiration came from a common source," said Mir. Jewell. "The strik- CTS were not responsible. It is not to their interest to use. dynamite

 Whereas, 1t appears that the rail- road executives during the past six weeks have obtained more than 187 iniunctions against the railroad shop ment,
 Resolved, that we call upon the government of the United States to immediately take over and operate the railroads of this country and make terms with the striking shop men to the end that the public will be guaranteed safe and adequate transportation and the restoration of peace, harmony and cooperation upon the railroads of the country"
 A statement issued with the resolu- ton said:
 "The executive committee has framed this resolution to meet an overwhelming demand for action by the rank and file of our constituent unions. The attorney general has made the railroad strike a live issue in every local union in town. This strike is now personal matter to hundreds of thousands of workers in this district who had no real in terest in 1t before"

LABOR COMMITTEE
 ASKS GOVERNMENT
 TO TAKE RAILROADS
Resolution Denounces Strike Injunc- ton and Demands That Terms Be
 Made With Shopmen.

New York, Sept. 8.-The executive committee of the Central Trades and Labor Council, representing 8oo,ooo members, has adopted a resolution calling upon the federal government immediately to take over and oper- ate the railroads and make terms with the striking shopmen.
 A resolution was also adopted call ing upon every trade unionist in the greater cities to assess himself one days pay to aid the strikers.
 The resolutions adopted read in part as follows:
 Whereas, the terms of the injuhc- ton issued by the federal Judge Will kersen of Illinois, at the request of Attorney General Daugherty, show a plain intent on the part of the federal government to break a just and legal strike of the railroad shopmen against intolerable conditions even after they had accepted President Harding's terms of settlement, which terms were refused by the railroad execu- tives, and
 Whereas, this injunction is not only a clear violation of the provi sions of the Clayton Act as applying to the issuance of injunctions in labor disputes, but is also a plain denial of the constitutional rights of American citizens and without precedent in law and equity, and
 Whereas, this action on the part of the U S. Attorney General Daugh- erty in obtaining this injunction

HARTFORD PAPER PROFITS AT MOUTH
 ON COAL STRIKE
Courant Peeved Because Settlement Was Made With Victory
 for Miners.

The great coal strikes are over, the miners returned to work and at the wage scaels that they were working under when the strike began last spring when the operators refused to carry out their contract to meet with the men and discuss the wage mat ter. The country is shy millions of tons of coal and some hardship may ensue for the forepart of next winter but it will be due solely to the obstin- ateness of the mine owners and their determination to break the unions. Even though they were forced to ad- init they were wrong and give in the newspapers aiding them still continue to rant about the unions, fair sam pie of the spleen they are displaying being the following taken from the Hartford Courant this week:
 "The settlement of the coal strike is in fact complete surrender to the strikers. It accords with the remark able terms which President Hard ing offered as a solution of the rail- road strike. So far as coal is con cerned, we are just where we were last spring, except that few have any coal and winter IS approaching rap idly.
 "We must have coal and so, in what IS perhaps characteristic American short-sightedness, the de- mand is, give us coal, never mind how we get it. The agreement ap- parently postpones any real settle ment of the wage question, but in fact it makes much more difficult any settlement at that time.

MT. Gompers was careful to ex- plain, however, that neither he nor the general conference of the A. F. L. had the authority to call such a strike, although recommendations to this effect might be made to the allied unions.
 The labor leader had previously condemned in bitter language the granting of the injunction as most outrageous attempt of the govern ment fo rthe restoration of compul- sory labor in this country"
 In inquiring about the effect of the injunction on organized labor gener- ally, he was asked if there was any possibility of general strike.
 He replied: "Never during any previous strike has there been such a demand made upon me to call gen eral strike as in this instance. 1 have hundreds of resolutions from various labor unions demanding this action"
 MT. Gompers said that he had been lauded to the skies by some people and organizations for not calling the strike and damned to help by others.
 "In view of the demand 1 will have nothing else to do but present the matter of a general strike to the American Federation of Labor con- ference, which is called for Septem- Der O." he said "I have no power to call such strike and neither has the conference. No such power is en- trusted to any labor authority. But the recommendations will be consid- cred" Asked if in his judgment the railroad workers and affiliated crafts should obey the orders of the United States courts, he pointed out that m several conventions the federation had adopted resolutions which de- clared that when an injunction was issued in violation of the constltu- tional rights of labor, the men con cerned should treat the injunction as if 1t never existed"
 "The men affected will have to fol- low the bent of their own judgment and conviction as to obeying the in think I know the character of the railroad men. They are intelligent, patroitic Americans and not likely to surrender their constitutional rights when a court undertakes to interfere with these rights"
 Mr Gompers was asked what would be the effect of the injunction upon the railroad brotherhoods not engaged in the strike.
 "No one knows what the effect of this will be on the railway brother hoods" he said. "The government may have stirred up hornets nest rather than finding solution for the present situation"
 He described the injunction as most outrageous and likely to manu facture radicalism and bolshevism. It is quite strange" he said, "that in our republic which was founded on the riihts of men, which under the lead ership of men like Beecher and Gar rison abolished human slavery, which under other great leadership enacted the I3th amendment forbidding mili- tary servitude, should now be en- gagged in movement for the restora- ton of compulsory labor"

DAVIS DEPLORES
 STRIKE VIOLENCE
 BUT LAUDS LABOR
Has Made Great Strides Despite All Obstacles, Says Labor
 Secretary.

Mooseheart, III, Sept. S.-Americar labor has made great strides in the past year, Secretary Davis of the la Dor department in Labor Day ad- dress declared In spite of unem. ployment, he declared, 1t has fought off all attempts to decrease wage levels set up during the war, and safely passed a war crisis. Working men grown accustomed to comforts in life not tasted before," he added Twill now find them preserved throughout the future"
 He, deplored instances of violence in connection with strikes, declaring that mo gibbet can be built too high for those who execute such das- tardly deeds as the deliberate wreck ing of train recently at Gary, Ind.
 "All the power of law and order in America must be extended to the ut most to exterminate the class of men who hark back to the dark ages in their disregard of property and hut man life," he declared. They can have no part in our America of to- day"
 Those who plan or countenance "such horrors" he said, "were equal ly guilty with the actual perpretra- tors. Referring specifically to the re- cent Slaughter" of workingmen in the state of Illinois, he described it as a "revolting spectacle" which lad vanced not jot the cause in which the men fell"
 Despite the pressure of tremen- dous mass of unemployed, despite the efforts of few reactionary employ CTS who selfshly sought to take ad- vantage of the distress of labor and the nation, we have kept the general level of wages up," he declared "I am safe in saying the average com pensation of the, man who tolls today is within a few per cent of what 1t was a year ago and some have re- ceived an increase.
 Today we have some men in in- dustry who protest with noisy virtue that they favor high wages, and that they pay high wages. A little in quiry into these deceptive averages, wages are paid to specialized work CTS, so-called experts, who work with plan and map. This appeals to me not at all, because they as a class are able to take care of themselves. I am for a saving wage for the man who in the words of the Scripture, Earns his bread with the sweat of his face, the man who swings a ham mer or a pick"
 Continuation of high wage levels, MT. Davis predicted, would bring prosperity in the United States, be- cause 1t would increase the nations consuming power.

Now they will begin to mine and the miners will begin to earn wages If they had accepted the reduction as offered by the operators they would be better off financially now than they are and the country would have it's coal which could have been bought for less cost. Instead, the cost will be high and suffering will be transferred from the miners, who struck, to the public, who were inno- cent of anything worse than wishing to get the coal they must have at a reduced price.
 'To those who think hastily the re- suit will be encouragement to strike. The enormous loss of the country, beginning with the losses to the strikers themselves and running through every phase of business ac- tivity is beyond calculation
 Now that coal producton Is. as- sured, how about getting it? The government has at last taken a firm stand, but the railroad strike leaders threaten to stop the roads. Will the next step be to cry out, we must have coal, give the railroad strikers what ever they want, but give us coalp If firm stand had been taken months ago, the trouble would have been settled by now. As it is we are assured of costly coal, if we get any, and another row hanging over us for year and then either strike or an other surrender. We are likely to find we have paid a higher price for our coal than the peace-makers have estimated when they thought only of the present"

RAILROADS GUARD IS CAUGHT IN ACT
 OF PLACING BOMB
Jewell Charge of Managerial Sabot- age Has Been Sustained By
 Exposures of Santa Fe.

Charges that railway homogeneous are deliberately dynamiting property, in a nationwide campaign of terror ism which they hope will be laid at the doors of striking shopmen, find confirmation in the exposure at San Bernadino, Calif., of a United States deputy marshal who was caught red handed placing bombs in the Santa Fe shops at that point.
 The Santa Fe management and the United States marshal are doing all they can to hush up the incident and free themselves from a most em- barassing position.
 Several explosions had occurred at San Bernadino, all being blamed on strikers. The Shop Craft Federation delegated experienced men to run down the perpetrators and their ef- forts were rewarded when pickets followed a deputy marshal into the shop yard and saw him plant" his bomb.
 Sheriff Shay was notified by the shopmen and dug up the bomb and presented it to the Santa Fe mar agement. There the investigation ended, so far as the railroad is con cerned
 M. D. Farrlngton, member of the publicity committee of the Shop Craft Federation, who assisted in the exposure, says:
 "It was brought to the attention of our men doing picket duty that the deputy marshal was seen going down the track with package in his hand. The men became suspicious as to what might be in the package and set trap for the deputy. Soon after the deputy was seen returning with out his package. The pickets imme- diately went to the office of Sheriff Shay and told them what they had seen and demanded an investigation
