Date Set for Hearing Of In
junction Action Against
Strikers.
PRECEDENT IS SOUGHT
Attorney General Daugh-
erty Determined to
Push the Cases.
PRECEDENT IS SOUGHT
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

SSrsfight. by The San Antonio Light.
Washington, ID. C.. April 4.-In-
formal efforts to persuade the Fed
eral government TO drop its injunc-
ton suit against the striking railway
shopmen have failed and the case
will be argued next month with the
hope on the part o. the Department
of Justice that the courts will make
permanent the preliminary restraining
orders issued at tn. height of the re-
cent railway strike.
Approximately 100000 shopmen
still are technically on strike out of
the original 100000, though many
of the strikers have found employment
in other mechanical trades, but it is
not with respect TO these men so much
as to the precedent that would be es-
tablished In American industrial his
tory that labor is prompted to fight
the injunction and by one means or
another bring about its abandonment.
But Attorney General Daugherty
is going through with the cases and
if his health permits he hopes TO join
Blackburn Estering, special assist
ant TO the attorney general in argu-
ing the case before Judge Wilkerson
in the federal district court at Chi
cago on May 2.
Fuss Has Been Raised.
Politically labor has already raised
fuss about the Daugherty injunc.
ton, but even the election of the op-
posite party and the sending TO Con
gress of representatives friendly tc
labor could not wipe out the action
of federal courts in interpreting ex.
listing statutes as giving the govern.
ment the power to intervene in a
railway strike and keep the trains
going and The nation supplied with
necessities of life.
The entire injunction suit is based
on the famous Shern an antitrust
law of 1890 which makes it a crime
for any two persons TO engage in q
conspiracy to restrain interstate com
merce. That language was broad
: ->sSwh to attack trusts and monopo
lies anG capital, and the Department
! of Justice, under Mr.. Daugherty, ha.
built W on the historic Debs case o.
1894 a legal structure which he hope,
will prevent any transportation monnp
oily on the part Of labor from tie;n,
up and paralyzing interstate com
merce.
There have been hints that tn,

PHILADELPHIA, November 8
Fourteen breweries in and near Phila-
deIohia were searched and seized
today by prohibition agents assembled
here from different parts of the coun-
try. Final details of the raid were
planned last night, it is understood,
with Maj. Roy A. Haynes, national
prohibition commissioner; E. G. Yel-
lowiey. national chief of the field
agents, and Reuben B. Sans, divi-
sional chief of Philadelphia, partici-
pating.
Agents now on the premises of the
brewreries will stay on duty until the
United States attorney has secured
libels turning them over to the fed
eral marshal. The prohibition agents
started their work at am, and re-
ported during the day to Mr.. yell

warrants, said that not all the brew
cries in Philadelphia were involved.
The agents took no chances on any
slip-up as compelled them recently to
relincuish their hold on a brewery
here that they had seized. 1t was
contended by attorneys for breweries
that only internal revenue bureau
representatives had a right to enter
brewery premises,
To overcome this alleged legal OBJ
lection, the agents at work today
were sworn in as special deputy in

BLOODY" CONFLICT
BLOCKED IN MEXICO
Federal Governor Says
Troops Timely Nipping of
Strike Halted Outbreak.
BY the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY. November 9.-The
prompt action of the federal authori-
ties in frustrating a movement for a
general strike is regarded as the first
step toward ending the critical sit
uation that has arisen from the vio-
lent campaigns being carried on by
the Gales and de la Huerta parties.
The government asserts that the
strike plans, which were nipped by
a display of federal military force.
represented an attempt to turn the
working classes against the army
and provoke a conflict that was IN
tended to result favorably to the
national co-operaista party, which is
supporting Adolfo de la Huerta in
his campaign for the presidency.
Forced Ban on Strike.
Under orders issued by Ramon
Ross, the new governor of the fed
eral district, strong forces of police
and military presented such threat
ening front that the Federation of
Street Railwaymen in the federal
district was forced to call off strike
which it had scheduled for last mid
night. At the same time plans for
a general strike of the telephone en-
ployes, the bakers, the cotton mill
workers and the street railway men
in Tampico and San Luis PotoSI were
postponed until a delegation of lead
ers had had opportunity to confer
with President Obregon, who is con-
valescing at Lake Chapala.
The governments determined stand

for dynamiting the electric power
cables that lead from the great pow
er plant at Necaxa which supplies

and neighboring towns with light

given that the water supply of Mexico

might be made.
A statement issued at the office OF
the governor of the federal district
says:
1.-The inhabitants of Mexico City
were about to become the victims of
terrible attacks, had not the author
tiles discovered opportune1y the ma
chinations of certain political ele-
ments which were attempting to take
advantage of a strike provoked by
the red elements among the street
railway workers for the purpose of
the workers and the police and fed
eral forces-a conflict with incalculable
consequences"
In the course of the recent debate
in the chamber of deputies on the
charges of mismanagement of the
treasury department under de la
Huerta preferred by Alberto Pani,
the present secretary, Jorge Prieto
Laurens, president of the co-opera
tista party, and a member of the cham
Der, said:
Gen. Obregon threatened de Ia
Huerta that it might be necessary to
sacrifice two, three, four or five lives.
and that at least it would be neces-
sary to cut short one daring to con-

Such figure represents a cut undar
