AUTO CLUB MUST
AID THE OFFICERS
Mankato Organization Should
Follow the Example Set
BY ST. Cloud

The Free Press must compliment
the st. Cloud Automobile club for its
recent action in appointing fifty
members thereof to assist the police
in apprehending violators OF the
traffic laws in that city. This plan
should be followed in Mankato, as 1t
would result in great good to the Oh =
ganization, demonstrating that the
club Is for law and order would be
the means of bringing to the attent
ion of the traffic officers those who
persist in continued violations of the
traffic laws,
The traffic officers cannot be eve
rywhere. and it is up to the members
of the Automobile club and all good
citizens to assist and make speed
stens and careless drivers handle
their cars in a safe and orderly way.
Last evening pedestrian came
very close to being run over by an
automobile that was driven at a
break neck speed around the corner
from Walnut steet into Front. A
gentleman had started 20 cross the
street, but the auto sped by having
made a quick turn OF the corner
going at a faster rate than good
Judgment should permit, and it was
lucky escape for the pedestrian.
Earlier In the evening there were
autoists who drove their cars on
Front street at a speed that should
not have been permitted.
The Mankato Automobile club can
become a most excellent functioning
organization and lend its aid to the
officials who are endeavoring to en-
force the laws and prevent acci-
dents. The Free Press still main
tains that pedestrians still have
some right in the street which reck-
less and speedy autoists should be
made to respect The Mankato Au-
tomobile club can help greatly in
giving to those people the right that
Is theirs.
The annual tour of the Minnesota
Automobile club through the Iron
range country will leave the Mime
sofa States automobile headquarters
at Tenth and La Sale streets, Min
neapolis, July 15, at ten o'clock.
Any member of the Mankato Auto
mobile club wishing to go on this
tour should notify the secretary of
the Mankato club.

Aboard u. 5. ). Henderson with
President Harding, July 12.-Presi-
.ent Harding has bound himself by
an oath never 10 mistreat either a
dog or a horse. The obligation to
be kind TO both of these animals
was part of an oath taken by the
president yesterday at Skagway,
when he became a member Of the
Arctic Brotherhood. He, today. con-
fded the oath In part to Mrs. Hard
ing, who In turn informed members
Of the presidential party. The chief
executive from boyhood has loved
animals, and his enthusiasm over
the brotherhood's purpose to pro-
tect them caused him to tell his
wife about it. The brotherhood was
organized in 1899 on the steamer
Seattle by gold prospector whose
use and love Of horses and dogs in
the north is said TO have caused
inclusion in the ritual Of clause
requiring kindness to these ami
mails.
The president was today on the

CHICAGO JUDGE
ISSUEDTHEDFCREE
Federal Injunction Gotten
Out Last October
HAD WIDE RANGE
Action Taken During Nation
Wide Shopmen's Labor
Dispute
Associated Press Dispatch. ]

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l
Chicago, July ia final decree
making permanent the temporary
injunction obtained by the United
States government in federal court
here October 5, 1922, against the
railway employees department of the
American Federation of Labor, its
officers and others, restraining them
from interfering In any manner,
shape or form in the operation OF
railroads during the nation wide
shopmen's strike, was entered to-
day by Judge James H. Wilkerson
of the United States district court.
The decree making permanent the
Injunction which is considered the
most wide spread restraining order
ever obtained in the history Of lfti-
CATION, affects approximately 400,0 900
railroad employees and officers of the
shop crafts concerned in the strike.
The injnction was applied for by
United States : Attorney General
Harry NJ. Daugherty on September
1, 1922, nearly two months after the
inception of the strike.
Strike Still In Effect
Theoretically the strike Is still In
effect. The shopmen left their posts
Of duty July 1, 1922, when the
United States railroad labor board
ordered a cut in their wages, effec-
tive on that date. The strike con-
tinued for more than two months.
The men returned to work In Sep
tember on the basis OF what was
known as the Baltimore agreement,
which was entered into by thirty
one major railroads Of the country
The agreement left the question OF
seniority, which was the main bone
of contention after the strike had
extended into a month, to a COM
mission to decide.
! Views of The Judge
In making the injunction perma-
nent Judge Wilkerson said in part
at seems almost incredible that
warfare of the kind disclosed by
the voluminous record in this case
should have been waged In this
country. It Is even ominous that
this unlawful assault upon the com
merce of the nation should have
found a biologists and defendants,
including some (happily a few. how
ever,) of those charged with the
duty Of protecting property and en-
forcing the law.
This strike was more than a
controversy between employer and
employee. It's manifest purpose, as
shown by the evidence, was to Grip
pie and destroy inter state com
merce, and to create by this as
sault a public opinion hostile to the
decision Of the board. The primary
purpose of the combination there :
fore is unlawful and 1t may not be
carried out by means that otherwise
would be legal.

BRITAINREADYFOR
DRAFT DEBT REPLY
Allies Informed Its Stand
Has Been Taken
WILL RUSH WORK
Will Aim At Pacification of
Europe and Recovery
Exhausted World
Associated Press Dispatch.I !


London, July 12.-Great Britain
has informed France and Italy that
she is ready to assume the respon-
sibility of preparing the draft Of
reply to the German reparatfon
note.
The reply will be submitted to the
allies with the least possible delay
In the hope that they will agree to
its terms.
Announcement to this effect was
made by Premier Baldwin In a
statement to the house Of commons,
today, on Great Britain's repara-
ton policy.
The British government, he said,
invites the sympathy Of the allies
and of all interested states for the
proposal. which aims solely at the
pacification of Europe and the re-
covery of the exhausted world.
Mr.. Baldwin failed to state what
the British proposals viii be in the
note the government intends franz
ing, nor did he say anything In re-
gard to an international commission
to examine into Germany's capacity
to pay.
Not Approached BY United States
Replying to questions by Ramsay
Macdonald. the minority leader,
Premier Baldwin said the reply to
Germany would be proceeded with
forthwith He would say tomorrow
the reply was being communicated
to the United States.
Commander Kenworthy. liberal
member for Hnll, asked whether
the government had approached or
had been approached by the United
States in the matter Of reparations.
Mr. Baldwin's reply was described
by the reporters as inaudible, but
belief was expressed by those near
him that he had said no.
