TO TEST LEGALITY OF
 RAIL STRIKE INJUNCTION

Washington Sept. : tBy the A. P.)- Legality of the order obtained by the government from Federal District Judge Wilkerson d Chicago, restraining the stnking railway shop crafts and the railroad brotherhoods from interfering with transportation in prosecution of the shoPmen's strike, was assailed today in suit filed in the supreme court of the District of Columbia by the Inter- national Brotherhood of Electrical Wor.ers. one of the organizations on strike The question of jurisdiction of the Chicago court was also raised by the petition which denied that the plain tiffs had been guilty of any illegal act before or since'' July 1.
 The electrical workers asked per- manent injunction to prevent United States Attorney Gordon and U. s. Mar shal Snyder, from enforcing locally the provisions of the Chicago order. With in two hours after the filing of the suit which was set for hearing next Sat urday-Mr. Snyder had served formal notice of the Chicago injunction on J. P. Noonan, president of the electrical workers, on most of the other local lead CTS named as defendants before Judge Wilkerson, and was instituting a search for William H. Johnston. head Of the
 machinists association, who @was said IO nave uiSdppedi GU dSdlH dIleT NlS- iting his office.
 The machinists' leader. according to
 some of his associates, however, had
 left for Chicago before Marshal Snyder , started. out with the official copies of the restraining order.
 While the electrical workers petition was said to have been filed solely on
 their own behalf and without reference to the other six unions on strike, MT
 Noonan said they expected both the i temporary order, which they hoped
 would be issued Saturday, and the per | manent writ to have nationwide
 scope.
 Officials of the department of justice
 would not comment for publication or l the recourse of the strikers to the courts, but unoficially they expressed l the opinion that if the supreme court l of the District of Columbia should grant the temporary restraining order 1 it would open up wide avenues lead. l ing to possible upsetting by courts oi other jurisdiction of injunctions and re l straining orders granted by the distric l supreme court-sucf as those in va l rious packers and other important case, l under the Sherman and Clayton acss 1 The entire question 1t was said unof , Ccontinned on Pass Five.
