BOSTON FIVE
FOR ANOTHER
CONTEST HERE
Mgr. DcsaulteIs Anxious
to Decide 10 TO 10 Tie
Played Here

Manager Edmond DcSautcls of
The Army Headquarters basketball
tcam Of Boston, Mass, is vcryanx-
Jous to secure another contest in
st. JohnsbuIy with the American
tegion- Company u quintet. The
fans well remember the recent j.
to 10 tie which two hail-raising 5
minute overtime periods failed to
break.
The St. Johnsbury camp was
about equally dividcd as to the re-
lative merits of the contcsting
teams. Some felt it was st. Johns
bury's game, while fully as many
believed sincerely that the contest
should have been awarded to the
Boston team. The scorer could
chalk up nothing but a draw.
The public here would settle all
doubts concerning the quahlica-
tionS of these rivals, if another
game were scheduled here soon.
Following is the substance Of
Manager Desautel's letter:
Kindly state in the paper that
Army Headquarters OF Boston has
games in Newport, Vt. and Mont
pelier, Vt. around Feb. 2nd, and
ask why st, Johnsbury has not
awakened to the fact that this
team is in the vicinity. And you
can suggest that the recent tic -
10 with two overtime 5-minute
periods, can now be settled by
plavinr a whole game in St.
Johnsbury.
Thanking you again for your
courtesy, and rememOerin" with
pleasure pleasant visit in St.
Johnsbury bv as fair-minded a
press and public as | have
countcred this season | am,
Sincerely,
Edmond DCsautClS.

INJUNCTION TO
 BE ENFORCED
UNIONS WILL CARRY ON WORK THE LEADERS
 SAY.
DEPUTIES MOBILIzED
AGITATORS ARE BLAMED FOR THE RAIL STRIKE
 TROUBLE.

Chicago.-The tenth week of the countrywide strike of the railway shopmen found $500 United States marshals mobilized to uphold the dras- tic temporary injunction obtained by the government to prevent lawless vio- lence and keep the nations transpor- tation systems running.
 From Chicago as a center of rail- road activities was directed the work of enforcing the injunction pending the hearing to make it permanent on Sept. Il.
 A mass of complaints and allega- tions of conspiracy and attempts to ruin property and jeopardize life were being collected for the use of Attorney General Daugherty in support of his application to make the injunction per manent It will not be alleged that the strikers are guilty in most of the outbreaks of violence reported, but the government, 1t, was said, will maintain that actions of the strikers or strike leaders caused violence.
 ENCrd IOrceS Ol uepulleS nave Deel sworn in by United States Marshal Robert R. Levy and are being dis patched to railroad shops and termin- als to watch for acts forbidden by the order handed down by Federal Judge Wilkerson. A thousand writs were prepared in the federal building and sent to all parts of the country for service on the labor leaders named in the injunction. B. NJ. Jewell, head of the shopmen, could not be found. John Scott, secretary of the shopmen, re- mained at his desk at the union head quarters.
 q haven't violated any law" he said. "This organization never did sanction or condone violence. But we are going to carry on the work of the organization without fear or tremor, and I don't believe the injunction is in intended to restrain us from so doing"
 Unions reiterated previous state ments that If the strike continued the railways would be paralyzed within thirty days.

Austrian Minister Warns League.

Geneva.-Chancellor Seipel of Aus tria made marked impression on the council of the league of nations when he warned the members that Austria would take measures to break the economic ties around her unless the league was able to do something for her. Austria, he declared, was ready to accept such control of her finances as would not effect her sovereignty, but rather than sacrifice her sover- eighty, she might prefer to merge her self into larger economic entity.

LEADERS ASSAIL ORDER
PRESIDENT WILL USE FULL
 POWER TO MOVE TRAINS.
LABOR CHIEFS SAY ALL EFFORTS TO WIN WILL BE
 CONTINUED.

shington.-Accepted in official circles as a deliberate manifestation of the administration determination to use its every power to restore nor nal transportation facilities, the in junction issued by Federal District Judge Wilkerson in Chicago. was de nounced by labor leaders as an ''out- I which should not be permitted to in terfere with the efforts of them and their friends to win the shOpmen' s strike.
 The restraining order did not repre- sent the limit to which the govern ment was prepared to go should it find that "other steps are necessary" ad- miniStratiOn SpOkeSmen declared, but they refused to indicate what avenue would be followed if supplementary action was taken.
 W. H. Johnson, who, as president of the International Association of Ma chinists, represents one of the largest groups of men on strike, declared the restraining order would not influence the strike leaders to abate in the slightest their efforts to make their fight effective.
 President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor echoed this assertion, adding that the federa- past: That injunctions which invad- ed constitutional rights should be treated as scraps of paper
 Both at the White House and the Department of Justice direct comment was withheld on the sudden appeal of the government to the federal courts in the railroad situation, officials in- sisting that the governments brief spoke for itself"
 Chairman Cummins of the Senate has maintained close touch with the industrial situation since its inception however, said he had been consulted in regard to the move. He expressed his approval, adding that his attitude would be the same toward 'any move that will help keep the railroads in Op- eration."
 Discussion of the proposed suit Oc- cupied a recent meeting of the cab inet, it was said, and developed de cided divergence of opinion as to it's advisability
 In some circles President Harding was understood to have, for a time at least, aligned himself among those op- posed to seeking court action in the emergency which, he was said to con- ceive, as the direct responsibility of the executive department.
 Later, however, when the apparent collapse of efforts to settle the strike had been followed by instances of vio- lence on many railroads, MT. Harding was said to have approved the attor- ney generals recommendation that such legal action should be added to other efforts of the government to pre- vent such outbreaks.
 The injunction petition was held by the Department of Justice to be well precedented in the governments ac- ton in the famous Debs case in 1895 which subsequently, was sustained by a decision of the United States Su- preme Court.
 The secret of Attorney General Daugherty's visit to Chicago had been so well kept that some members of the administration as well as of the Sen ate and house were taken by surprise by the filing of the suit and the is suance of the courts temporary order which followed quickly.

 FLIGHT IN DAY
ARMY AVIATOR FLYS FROM AT LANTIC TO PACIFIC IN
 TWENTY-TWO HOURS.
.FL|ER SETS NEW RECORD
STARTING IN FLORIDA PILOT REACHES CALIFORNIA WITH
 ONLY ONE STOP.

San Diego, Calif.-Lieut. James H. DoOlittle, army aviator, who began a One-stop flight across the continent at specially built De Haviand airplane, arrived at Rockwell field, the army aviation headquarters here, at , :34 p. m., Pacific coast time, Sept. ,.
 On the flight from Jacksonville, Fla, on the Atlantic coast, the motor in the big De Haviland registered ,4S0 revolutions per minute and the motor burned nineteen and one-half gallons of gas an hour.
 Doolittle required only 22 hours and 31 minutes to complete the 2,1OO-mile trip, and with an hour and thirteen minutes taken out at San Antonio for fuel, his actual flying time was 21 hours and IS minutes, or at the rate of approximately 100 miles an hour, or one and two-thirds miles minute.
 Lieutenant Doolittle said his altitude varied from 1000 to 1000 feet.
 Lieutenant Doolittle flew over eight states. Airmen here said that his night flight over Florida swamps was one of the finest achievements in recent years by military airman
 After leaving Pablo Beach," Lieu tenant DOolittle said when speaking of his flight, ''I climbed 1000 feet and then swung westward over the Florida swamps. About two hours after took off encountered heavy rainstorm.
 "The rain continued from the time l left New Orleans until I reached Texas, but did not give me any trou- ble. From Texas to San Diego I met with no trouble, except for a slight rainStOrm east of Yuma'
 The most astonishing feature of the flight to veteran military airmen at Rockwell field was the fine condition in which Lieutenant Doolittle arrived. They expected to see him covered with spatter oil and also to find him "dead tired" as they put it. Instead, when Doolittle landed, having "taxied' up ito the deadline with superb pre- cision, he pulled off his leather cap, smiled from face clean of travel stains and then laughed as congratu- lations were extended by Maj. W. Fitz- gerald, commander of Rockwell field.
 ''Thank you sir" was his acknOwl- edgment of the majors greeting.
 How do you feel Jimmie" asked a brother officer.
 Not bad said DOOlittle with an- other grin.
 Did you have any trouble"
 Not bit of any kind"
 Lieutenant DoOlittle said he got a thrill out of the fact that he ate din- her one night on the Atlantic coast and the next night on the Pacific.
