M. Jewell, t< acknowledged leader of the strike, IV could not be found by deputy mar- d shalfl. Some 5600 deputy marshals' p throughout the country are ready to C receive and serve subpoenas on the lo- t< , cal Federation officers and other In- ei dividuals named in suit. It b Chicago, Sept. 2.?Under the restriction placed upon them by the fed- a eral government by all means the h most drastic and farreaching tempo- \ rary injunction ever issued in an in- ? dustrial crisis, the railway shopmen e< who walked out July 1st in protest a against the conditions prescribed by ? the labor board, today entered a new era of nationwide rail strike. The e:<- g ecutive council of the American Fed- jc eration of Labor has prepared to meet p September 0th. Samuel Gompers said ^ a communication from labor organi- t( cations requiring the Federation to ^ sponsor a general strike In sympathy g( with shopmen would be placed before g the council "as matter of routine bus- , mess." ci Ci Chicago, Sept. 1 (By the Associated -r Press).?Taking one of the most ^ drastic steps ever attempted in a strike situation, the United States government today obtained a tern- ^ porary federal order restraining striking railroad shopmen, their offi- J cers and affiliated bodies throughout the country from interfering in any; p way whatever with the operation of; the railroads. iw The restraining order, hearing on ^ which was set for September 11, was Federal Judge James H. * /' who came here from Washington to * argue for the action. The order enjoins, under the hear- ** ing, all railway employees, attorneys, w servants, agents, associates and all ri persons acting in aid or in conjunction with them or in any manner F interfering with, hindering or ob- ^ structing railway companies, their ^ agents, servants or employees in the w operation of their respective railroads a and systems of transportation or the r performance of their public duties . and obligations in the transportation of passengers and property in inter, state commerce and the carriage of the mails and from in any manner interfering with employees engaged I in inspection, repair, operation and h use of trains, locomotives, cars and e other equipment and for attempting I to prevent any person from freely d entering into or continuing in the t employ of the companies for the pur- r pose of inspection, and repairing of e locomotives and cars or otherwise. The underlying principles involved in the action, the attorney general ooi/l in Ann.ln/iinflp Viia oranimDnt fnr the order is "the survival and the su-j ' premacy of the government of th? r United States." Declaring his request J was not aimed ut union labor, the at- j 1 torney general f.aid that the step was ' necessary to the preservation of the * unions themselves. At the same timei v he asserted that the government expected to use its authority to prevent) v the labor unions from destroying the' ' open shop. "When the unions claim the right I to dictate to the government and to dominate the American public and deprive the American people of the ne- i cessities of life/' he warned, "then the government will destroy the unions, for the government of the United States is supreme and must endure." The railway employees department of the American Federation of Labor, B. M. Jewell, its president, J. F. McGrath, vice president, and John Scott secretary treasurer, together with the six shop crafts brotherhoods, the 120 system federations and their officials of the shop crafts asserted that the1 order would have no effect on the continuance of the strike. "The strike will continue until a t satisfactory settlement has been reached," Secretary Scott said. W. H. Johnston*, president of the International Association of Machinists, said that leaders will not abate their efforts to make the strike effective despite any action taken by the , courts. B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts, issued no statement and at his headquarters early tonight it was reported that he was "in conference" while another official said he was "out of the city." While Mr. Daugherty, Blackburn Ssterline, his assistant, and Charles Clyne, United States district attorney, all refused to comment on the possible effect of the injunction, Mr. t En ION GRANTED RAILWAY SHOPMEN -UECOGUNTER i PASSES AWAY 5 c] Greenville, Sept 1.?Prof. Lueco j runter, for the past two years head C f the department of education at b urman and formerly professor of 2 edagogy at the University of South >' Carolina, died at his home here this fternoon shortly after 3 o'clock, af- 0 ir having been unconscious since c londay.

Daugherty said his future moves will >e governed entirely by the actions of he persons enjoined. In his presentation before the court,, dr. Daugherty reviewed the effortsi it mediation, particularly President larding's attempts to end the strike, le called attention to the fact that 1 11 J 1.1 1 .J 1 .ne rauroaa lauor ooara ib an agency ?f the government and that the preailent issued a proclamation calling ipon the strikers to return to work, i >bey the board's decisions, and in any 'vent not to interfere with the trans>ortation service or with men willing i o enter or continue in service. The defendants in refusing to acept the labor board's decision cutting vagea, he said, have "repudiated the abor board and its authority and hold he labor board and the government >f the United States in contempt." Calling attention to the declaration >f the president before congress that , j 'the government can have no chart for its course except the law," the ittorney general continued: "There are statutes forbidding conrpiracy to hinder interstate commerce; there are laws to assure the ligheet possible safety to railway ser. rice. It Is my purpose to invoke ftese laws, civil and criminal, against ill offenders alike." )UPRE WAS GAME TO LAST MINUTE Atlanta, Sept. 1.?Maintaining his toicism to the last and with a smile n his lips while his black cap was adjusted preparatory to springing th'> rap under him, Frank B. Dupre, l'J 'ear old "Peachtree bandit," paid the leath penalty at the Fulton county ail here today for the murder of Irb.? J. Walker, private detective, Decern ter 16, last. The trap was sprung a . 1:04 o'clock and 16 minucs later the oiith was pronounced dead. The scenes attendingsthe execution >f Dupre were described by old jni' flicials as the most dramatic ever witnessed by them. Outside the jail, he streets on three sides were blockd with persons eager to get a :limpse of the proceedings. Even the ops of buildings nearby were occuiied by men, women and children. Police reserves were called out to eep order. Inside the prison walls. )upre probably was more composed han any of the officials, witnesses ov ellow prisoners. The youthful bandit was engaged in eligious services when the fall of th<leath trap for Luke McDonald, negro onvicted of the murder of a negro roman, could be heard throughout, he jail. He paid no attention to the ound which within the hour was to nean his own end. He continued in ?rayer until 15 minutes of the hour et for his execution, whon unfalterngly he started for the gallows five tories above. Upon reaching the death chamber, )upre stopped and looked out a winlow. ; "That's some crowd, isn't it?" he aid to his brother, Joe Dupre. He then pointed out acquaintances telow and waved to them shouting: "Good bye." A deputy sheriff called his attention o Betty Andrews, the sweetheart for vhorn he robbed the Nat Kaiser ewelry store and killed Walker. She vas in a cell two floors below, hei ace pressed closely against the bar: f the window. She became hysterial at the sight of the condemned routh, who shouted to her: "Goodbye, Betty. I want you to be [ good girl. Wont you?" His words were drowned in the rlss "iMf'tfts oiuwd bolow "Be good, Betty; be good,'' Duprfe epeated again and again. Then ar he crowd became quiet: "You going to meet me in heaven, lin't you, Betty?" the bandit shouted it his sweetheart. "Yes," was the reply. Dupre turned to a deputy sheriff ind asked: "Well, you all ready?" The deputy, too full of emotion to *eply, led the boy away to the gal ows. "God bless you all," Dupre shouted is he waved a last farewell. The condemned youth led the pro?ession to the gallows, and then ask d his spiritual advisers to sing: "A Mother's Prayer Has Followed Me." Dupre's last audible words, attered as the black cap was being adjusted over his head, were: "Please brush back my hair." The suit in which Dupre was hangid was the same one worn by him on he day of his crime. The execution of Dupre brought to an end one of the most determined legal battles ever waged in the his tory of Georgia criminal courts. All [>ther efforts having failed to Btay execution a final appeal was made to President Harding yesterday, but he replied that he was without authority to intervene in the case.

SHOPMEN STAto C WITH DAlKpRTY Washington, Sept. 1 (w the Asociated Press).?Accepfted^in official F circles as a deliberate manifestation it of the administration1!! determina- 1 tion to use its every powet to restore }< normal transportation1 facilities, the ?c injunction issued today by Federal a District Judge WilkenMfc|in Chisago c ip.as denounced by labor leaders here s as an "outrageous" invasilih of strik- Jtl era' rights, which should hot be per- t1 mitted to interfere with 'the efforts s of them and their friendsfto win the shopmen's strike. I h The restraining order <&d not rep- tl resent the limit to whifth the govern- t ment was prepared to should it tl .find that "other steps UMi necesary," administration spokesman, declared, k but they refused to indicate what o avenue would be followed if supple- f mentary action was taken, ? W. H. Johnson, who as president of r the International Associanon of Ma- a chinists, represents one ofithe largest v groups of men on strike} Jtcclared the restraining order would not influence f the strike leaders to, abate in the v slightest their efforts to hiake their ? fight effective. . President Samuel c Gompers of the American Federa- t tion of Labor echoed thit assertion, * adding that the federation's view * would be as stated in tbii past: That 1 injunctions which i"invaded constitu- '< tional rights" should be' treated as ^ "scraps of paper." \ t. Both at the White House and .the * department of justice direct comment c was withheld, officials \ hoisting that * the government's brief 'Spoke for it- c self." The secret of Attorney General Daugherty's visit to Chicago had been so well kept thak some members of the administration as well as of the senate and house were taken by surprise by the filing of the suit and the issuance' of the court's temporary order, which followed quickly. Chairman Cummins' of the senate interstate commerce committee, 1 who had maintained close touch with ' the industrial situation since its in- . : ception, however, said he had been ' consulted in regard to the move. He J expressed approval, adding dust bis attitude would be the ^t^tovtard j "any move that wLi help keep the railroads in operation.'* Discussion of the proposed suit occupied a recent meeting of the cabinet, it was said, and developed a decided difference of opinion as to its j advisability between certain of Pres> ident Harding's advisers. In some circles President Harding was understood to have, for a time at least, aligned himself among those opposed to seeking court action in the emergency, which he was said to conceive' as the direct responsibility of the executive department. Later, however, when the apparemt collapse of efforts to settle the strike had been followed by instances of violence on many railroads, Mr. Harding was said to have approved the attorney general's recommendation that such legal action should be added to other efforts of the government to prevent such outbreaks. The injunction petition was held by the department of justice to be well preceuenieu on me gov?rnmeni b action in the famous Dcbbs case in 1895, which subsequently, was sustained by a decision of the United States supreme court, > Conference to Settle ~ War Debts Question Paris, Sept. 2 (By tlie Associated Press).?A proposal for s conference of all interested nations to settle the war debts question was embodied in the French reply to a recent circular note to the entente powers sent by ; the Earl of Balfour. Such a meeting, " the French note holds, would have a most salutary effect on the repara tions problem. Until the question of the interallied debts is settled there can be no solution of the former. i ? ?? 1 Protest Hunting Ground Extensions f Nikko, Japan, Sept. 2.?The people . of this city of shrines and Imperial , palaces have entered a protest against the proposed extension of the ImI perial hunting grounds not far dis. f tant from here.

TTEERDK I NOT SATISFACTORY Washington, Sept. 1.?Vigorous opposition to thu administration amiprofiteering coal bll was voiced to* day in the Canute, Democratic leaders declared it bugged the question; that the real crux of the coal situation was a lack of railroad motive power and that the government should take immediate steps to relieve the condition growing out of the railroad strike. No action was taken on the bill today and consideration is expected to be resumed tomorrow. Chairman Cummins of the inter state commerce committee, in charge of the bill, and other Republicans agreed that the condition of some of ? the carriers was serious and Mr \ Cummins expressed the opinion that government control might prove the only remedy. His judgment was that it would take six montUs for the roads to repair their equipment so as to move traffic to full capacity, so that even with a speedy settlement of the strike there was bound to be a shortage of equipment in the next few months. ! Senator Underwood, the Democratic leader, urged enactment at this | session of legislation that would meet the railroad strike situation. Chairman Cummins continued that it would be "worse than futile" to , undertake to engage the attention of congress on such legislation at this time, but Senator Underwood arguad 1 that this was the time to act, as public sentiment might be stronger for I such legislation now than later. The committee chairman gave no; tice that at the next session he pro,| pose legislation that would make un1 lawful strikes in all industries where the government undertook to estab1 lish justice in disputes. The minority leaders recalled that I the senate provision in the transportation act designed to prevent j railroad strikes had been eliminated in conference between the house and ! senate. Chairman Cummins replied that the senate conferees held out for two months for the provision and ; yielded finally only after informa^ - tion had reached them that a bill con! k. 'j-jTa " -f*wiaion < ?* \etoecTDy n*bsment WOms. ' - ed that this information came indi rectly but through what was regard - ed as reliable sources, i Senator Underwood argued that the i pending bill would not prevent profI iteering and the interstate com? merce commission had all of the auei ihority now over priority in the movement of coal that was proposed. M Senator Borah (Republican) of Ida ^ ho interrupted to express the opinion ' that if state legislatures enacted legf: islation to control conditions in their " | states the people would be very j greatly disappointed in the operation ^ of the measure.
