(By the Associated Press)
Chicago, Sept. 2.-Under restric-
tions placed upon them by the United
States government by means of the
most drastic and far reaching injunc-
tion ever issued in an industrial
crisis, the 100000 railway shopmen
who walked out July l, in protest
against wages and working conditions
prescribed by the railroad labor
board, had entered new era of the
nation wide rail strike today.
The restraining order obtained
from Federal Judge James H. Will
kerson, by Attorney General Daugh-
erty, prohibits interference in any
manner with any and all phases of
railroad operation. Printed and oral
propaganda were placed under the
ban and the injunction directed
against all persons connected in an
official capacity with the railway en-
ployes department of the American
Federation of Labor, the Federated
Shop Crafts and System Fcderations.
Returnable Sept. II.
The life of the temporary injunc-
tion extends to September H.. when
Judge Wilkerson will hear motion
for a permanent order.
Meanwhile the executive council of
the American Federation of Labor pr,
pared to meet September 9. Samuel
Gompers, president of the Federation,
who condemned she injunction as
"outrageous" said in Washington that
from labor organ;za-
tions requesting the federation to
sponsor general strike in sympathy
with the shopmen, would be placed
before the concil, then "purely as
matter of routine business"
At the same time officials of the
shop crafts asserted the order would
have no effect on continuance of the
strike. In statement issued by the
executive council of the Railway En-
ployes Department of the American
of Labor, strike leaders
pledged to aid by their "every power
enforcement of the injunction against
"lawlessness and violence" in con-
nection with the strike.
From the White House came the
declaration that the federal govern
ment will not stop with the restrain
ing order If it finds "other steps are
Supremacy Of Government.
Attorney General Daugherty arriv-
ed in Chicago unannounccd yester-
day. In presenting his petition he
declared its underlying principle was
'the survival and supremacy of the
of the United Statcs.'
He declared the injunction was not
aimed at union labor and that the ac-
tion was necessary to the preserva-
tion of the unions themselves.
Briefly and in effect the injunction
