Washington, D. c., Sept. 2.-La-
boris answer to what their leaders
term government by Injunction"
will be unlimited funds for the sup
port Of the shopmen now on strike.
This was made known here today.
At the same time it was explained
that the machinists' building, one
of Washington's monuments to the
labor movement, will be made Sc
curity for a loan of $200, 900 to add
to the strike fund just as soon as
the arrangements can be complet-
ed.
Union leaders who are making
the plans were not inclined to do
much talking about them. They in
dicated today that, while they are
agreed that the sinews of war shall
be provided in full and plenty, they
do not intend to take any chances
that statements made by them can
be regarded as in any way a viola
tion of the injunction granted In
Chicago yesterday.
Incidentally they insisted today
that the loan was in every way an
open and above board financial
transaction differing in no way
from those that are arranged every
day on Washington real estate.
There is, however, they declare.
no question of lowered morale; on
the contrary, the very fact that the
loan is being arranged points to
their determination to see that the
strike is supported in every lawful
manner. Moreover, the union Off
cials say, and they assert their as
sertions with figures. that finan-
cially the International Machinists
union is strong and that the pres
ent loan is merely a method Of re-
talizing quick assets.

Of the marketing concern, said, 'is
that the milk producer is entitled
one-half the consumers dollar, and
that an increase in the retail price
is unnecessary in order to pay this
half. The farmer receives less
money for owning his farm, own
ing his cows, and caring for then
than the milk wagon driver re

more than carrying bottles from
his wagon to the back door.

PROPOSE TO
ADOPT 1894
PRECEDENT
Plan Used In squelching
Pullman Riots to be
Followed.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright. 1922. by The Argua)
Washington. D. c.. Sept His
tory repeats itself-the injunction
order obtained BY Attorney Gem
eral Daugherty from the federal
court in Chicago against the strik-
fng shopmen follows almost ex-
actly the procedure Of Attorney
General Olney in President Cleve-
lands second administration, when
the famous Pullman strike Of 1884
was virtually sQuelched through the
action of the courts against Eu-
gene Debs and his union associ-
ates.
In the Pullman strike, q court or
der was issued which enjoined the
railway employees from interfering
with the operation Of trains but
many Of them hooted the reading
Of the order and continued their
acts of violence whereupon federal
grand juries were especially sum-
moned and indictments and ar
rests made. The strikers capitu-
lated to the courts after 1t was evi-
dent that the federal government
would back up its marshals with
all the regular troops NEEDED to en-
force the law.
The same situation exists today.
II the temporary Injunction or a
permanent order should be violAt-
ed by any of the men named In 1t,
they can be arrested for contempt
OF indicted. It is true that Sam
uel Gompers and other labor lead
ers are claiming that the Clayton
antitrust law gave them immun-
ity from prosecution but the de-
partmene of Justice does not con-
slider that the Clayton law ex-
empted any individuals from the
conspiracy statutes or the statutes
which forbid Interference with in
terstate commerce. The Clayton
law exempted labor organizations
as such from the operations Of the
Sherman antitrust law. 1t is the
Sherman law under which Mr..
Daugherty has just obtained his
restraining order. but the attorney
general has been careful not to
name q labor organization az a
whole or any union but simply in
dividuals whose influence or lead
ership may possibly be the indi-
rect means of causing other iadi-
viduals to interfere with railroad
trains or cause acts Of violence.
There is no immunity to the indi-
vidual even though the organiza-
tion as a whole may not be leld
culpable.
The difference Is going to mean
lots OF hair splitting argument in
