sNOPMEN CLAIM SATISFACTION
IN DROPPING Fight AGAINST
/: lNIUkcTI0K IN U. S. COURT

CHICAGO. May 2.-tBy Tho Asso-
ciate6 Press)EThe leaders of the
strike OF railroad shopmen today
abandoned their case in defense
against the federal Injunction OBJ
tained by Attorney General Harry NJ.
Daugherty last September. and an
nounced hat their principal conten-
lions in the case had been upheld.
The announcement by counsel for
fhe defendants, coming "a hours in
advance of h hearing on the gov
ernment's application for a perma-
nent Injunction caused Blackburn
Esterline, assistant solicitor general
of the United States. to interpret the
action OF the defense as amounting
TO a default which he termed a
~thasco."
After announcing that all attorneys
for the defense had withdrawn at the
request of the officers of the railway
employees department of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, Donald r.
Richberg. of defense counsel. ex-
nmined hat the shopmen were satis-
he'd with the situation and that the
could find such satisfac-
ton as they could. and DO as they
wished with the case. He made pub
lie a letter addressed to himself.
Frank l.. Mulholland, of Toledo.
Ohio. and James Easily Smith. of
Washington, the attorneys for the de-
tense. from B.. NJ. Jewell, president
of the Railway Employees department,
and other leaders explaining their
view of the case.
The suit. the letter declared, in
yolved the right to strike. The gov
ernment a called the strike n con-
spiracy and its primary purpose was
TO seek to establish that a concerted
refusal to accept wng and working
conditions as fixed by the rtilroad
labor board. was unlawful. In this
connection. the shipments leaders re-
fer-ed to the supreme court decision
in tho case of the Pennsylvania rail-
road against the labor board in which
the court held that It was not COM
pulsory to abide by the boards de-
cisions. although holding hat there
was a moral constraint to do SO.
The letter continued that aside
from the primary charge that the
strike was illegal. no matter how
peacefully ccnducted. there was a
charge that acts of lawlessness and
violence had accompanied the strike.
