VOLUME XXXVIII. LAURENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, SEPrEMBER 6, 1922. NME GOVERNMENT GE' AGA Sudden Appearance of Attorney Ien. eral Daugherty in Court Causes Sth All Workers Restrained from Inter. fyrene of Any Nature. Chicago, Sept. .-Taking one of th( most drastic steps ever attempted hi a strike situation, the United States government today obtained a tempor ary federal order restraining striking railroad shopinen, their officers and a 'liated bodl'es throughout the coun try from interfering In any way what ever in the operation of the ra-ilroads, The restraining order, hearing on1 *which ias set for September 11, was Issue, !v Federal Judge James H. WiIkeI W'on, upon the petition of At torney Gencral 'iharry M. Daugherty, who caine here from Washington to arrange for the action. What Order Meanus The order enjoins, under the hear ing, all railway employes, attorneys, servants, agents, associates and all Persons acting in ala or in conjunc tion with them from Interfering with, hin dering or obstructing rail Wly cclui:anies, their agents, servants or employcs rin the operation of their trespective rallijoads and system of transportation or the performance of their public duties and obligations in -the transportation of passengers and property In interstate connerce, and the carriage of the mails and from in any manner interfering with employes engaged in inspection, repair, opera tion and use of trains, locomotives, cars and other equipment and from attempting to prevent any person -frpim freely entering into or continu ing into the employ or the companies for the purpose of inspection, and re pairing of locomotives and cars or otherwise. The pnderlying princi:le involved in 'the action, . the attorney -general said, In concluding his argument for the order is "the survival and the supremacy of the government of the ITnited States." Not Almed at Unionism Declaring his request was not aimed at union labor, the,attorney general said that the step was necessary to the preservation of the unlions them selves. At the same time he asserted the government expectd to use its au thori1y to prevent the labor unions from destroying the open sho). '"When the uniors claim the right to .dictate to the government and dom inate the Amejcan people and deprive the American people of the necessi ties of' fe," he warned, "then the gov ernment will destroy .the unions, for the government of the 'United States is suoreme and iipust endure." The railway employes department of the American Federation of Labor, B. iM. Jewell, its president, J. M. Mc Grpth, vice president, and John Scott, secretary-treasurer, together with the six shopcrafts brotherheods, the 120 system federations and their. presi dents and secretaries were made de -fendants in the petition. No Effect Officials o( the shoperafts asserted that t'he order would have no effect upon continuance of the striike. "The strike will continue until a ,eatisfactory settlement has been reached," Secretar-y ecott said. W. {IHI JTohtihon, presidenlt of the Interna tional Association of Machinists, said that leaders will not abate their ef forts to make 'the strike effective de sp)ite any action takea y the courts. B. M. Jewell, -head of the shopcrafts, Issued no statement and at his head quarters early tonight it was report~ed that he was "in conference" which another official said he was "out of the- city". -(Whuile Mr. iDaugherty, Blacichurn & * terline, his assistant, and Charles Clynre,-United States district attorney, Sal1 'refused to comment on the 'poss' Sbie effect of the injunction, Mr. Daugh erky paid hIs future moves wvill be gov egned enti'rely by the actions of the -persons enjoined. In 'hs presentation before the court, M r. lugherty reviewed the efforts at - mediation, particularly 'President (Hardilig's attempts to end the strike. H l-e called attention to the fact that tbd railroad labor board is an agency of the government and that the presi. dontissued a proclatuation calling up. eft the stikers to return to work, obey & ie bard'sdecisions, and in Any event 'S INJUNCTION INST RAIL UNIONSc tion service or with mon willing to enter or continue in service. Labor Board Rqud(lites The defondants In refusing to accc)L the labor board's decision cutting wages, he said, have "repudiated the e labor board and its authority and hol t( the labor board and the government of V( the United States in contempt." Calling attention to the declaration 4 of the president before congress that "the government can have no chart ' for its course except the law," the at- 11 torney general continued: d "There are statutes forbidding con- h spiracy to hinder interstate com merce; there are laws to assure the c highest possible safety to railway ser- 0 vice. It is my purlpose to invoke U these laws, civil and criminal, against ti all offenders alike." -t< Legal safeguarding against such 0 nenace in the future, he said, must be il worked out when a chance has -been C given to appraise the entire situation. h STARIT AGAIN ON ) FLIMIT TO0 BRAZIL el Io St. -Petersburg, Fla., Sept. 3.-Lieu- 'P tenant Walton Illinton, en route from til .Pensacola to Guantanamo Bay, to re- Ii suie his Now York to Rio de Janerlo g flight, interrupted recently by the tI wrecking of the seaplane Sampalo Correla off the south coast of Cuba, ar- bn rived here this afternoon. al Hinton and his companions will ci spend the night here and resume the :b flight at. daybreak if weather condi- ti tions 1permit.

They "sunner" aristo atically at the lake, feasting on the st the land affords from spring un September, then go to their winter sorts along the Gulf of Mexico. The bird diets almost exclusively on ih, and, so far as the Yellowstone id other Rocky Mountain lakes and reams are concerned, this neans ex usively on trout. ie estimates that e .100 pelicans consume more trout an are taken during an entire sea n by sportsmen. The pelican is no respecter of size, nits or open seasons, tProfessor ard charges. He declared he had en a platoon of 36 pelicans ranged :ross a stream in regular formation, eying on the trout as they swam up sawn. Hitherto, the stream had elded trout eggs by the millions but itchery men this year could gather ily a fraction of the normal amount.
