shopmen Return to Work.

Chicago. The drastic temp0r-
airy Injunction orders asked by At
torney General Daugherty against
shopcrafts strike leaders was put in
force by Judge Wilkerson without any
of It's effectiveness being modified
Several slight changes In the word
ing of the order submitted Saturday
were made by Judge Wilkerson to
clarity its meaning.
Judge Wilkerson signed the order
after Donald Il. Rlchberg, defense at
torney, said he was unable to Suggest
any form OF order which would be
effective TO give legal sanction TO the
exercise OF an authority which we re-
specially urge Is not within the power
OF the court"
Following short plea by defense
attorneys the government petition for
an injunction be denied Judge WIlker-
son denied their motion to dismiss add
ed the phrase with intent to further
said conspiracy" In several paragraphs
and signed the order.
The date Of hearing for the defens
dants not heard In this action was
set for 10 A. M October 5.
A return to wartime wages and res
sumption of the basic eight-hour day
were requested before the United
States railroad labor board by repre-
sentatlves Of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Signalmcn of America. y. W.
Heit, president Of the brotherhoods
opened the hearing for the employees
OF forty-two railroads and their subs
salaries.
John c. Walber, representing Easbs
ern railroads; Dr. G. p. Neal, OF thq
southeastern roads, and John HigginsI
OF the western lines, were present td
oppose the petition Of the slgnalmen.
The signalmen are seeking return
to the wages established by the board
under decision No. 2 Of May /, 1921
an average daily range Of $4.72 to
$704 day. They ask In addition for
for differentials above those rates fon
foremen. II
Heit told the board that the brothss
erhoods action was based on four prei
misses: II
First, the general upward trend o.
the living wage. e.
Second, that the board in computing
reductions in 1921 and 1922 had not
used facts "of sound validity
Third, that the first reduction was
made in error because decision No. 2
was based on living wage prior to
December, 1919 which since had In
creased materially
Fourth, that government figures
placed the living cost Of the average
family at $2400.

HAAS FOR COUNTY TREASURER

Herbert Haas, the popular super
visor of Thetford Township, has
authorized us formally to announce
his candidacy for the Republican
nomination as county treasurer. We
are glad to be thus commissioned, be-
cause it will be impossible for any
one else to announce a more worthy
candidate for this very responsible
position. Herbert Haas is one of the
finest young men in this section of
country, as fine as any section can
produce, and in every way competent
to successfully discharge the duties
of the office to which he aspires. He
has served two full terms as a MEM
ber of the Board of Supervisors and
has come to be recognized as one of
the most valuable and competent men
of that representative body. He has
many friends throughout the county
and has received assurance of sup
port from many of them. We trust
that all Republicans of this section
will be boosters for Mr.. Haas and that
he may be nominated by substan-
tial majority. This done, the rest
will be easy.
