2 ~ “Strikes Hitting U. S. Commerce Forever Ended,” Says Daugherty Granting * of ~ Permanent Injunction Against Railroad Shopmen Hailed as Bar to Further Disorder. o extensiye strike involving in- terstate commerce, will ever again take place in this country,” declared Attorney General Daugherty in a statement fssued last night by the Department of Justice, following ac- tion by the Chicago federal court making permanent the fnjunction asked by the government in the 1922 railroad shopmen's strike. o strike,” predicted Mr. Daugh- erty, can be conducted in this country with violence and vandallsm without severe punishment to those who thus participate.” Mr. Daugherty's statement sa. “The entry in Chicago yesterday of the final decree brings to a close the case wherein, as Attorney General, I filed suit asking fer a restraining order against the shopmen participat- ing in a strike against the railroads and those interfering with Interstate commerce and the carriage of the United States mails. The: provisions of the final decree are practically, in all respects, identical with the nro- visions of the preliminary Injunction jssued last September. Case Without Parallel. tion-wide In its scope, the case was commenced in the name of the United inst the rallway employes’ department of the Ame fcan Federation ‘of Labor and ap- proximately 400,000 other defendants located at 5.000 points. During ten days covering the hearing before Judge Wilkerson for the preliminary injunction’ there were over two mil- lion words taken in the record. Forl| the final hearing the full proofs were taken, and over 757 witnesses were sworn and examined. The case was commenced and closed tn approxi- mately ten months. For its far- reaching consequences in peacefully maintiing law and order, and for its expeditious handling, the case is without a parallel in legal annals. The companion case of Pennsylvania railroad agalnst the Railroad Labor Board, conducted at the same time, passed through the United States district court, the circuit court of Appe and the Supreme Court of the United States also in ten months after the hearings commenced. Such oXPe is aordinary for “involving interstate commerce | of such magnitude and speaks well for the judges of the northern dis- trict of ‘Illinols in discharging the public business. “No More Extensive Strikes.” | “As this case is concluded, con- sidering the importance of the final decision of the court, I feel it per- fectly proper to say again what I said when 1 personally argued the case before the court for the tem- porary restraining order, that no ex- tomsive strike tying up .interstate commerce will ever again take place in this country. This is a comfort to which the public is entitled. No strike involving Interstate commerce can be conducted in this country with violence and vandalism without -se- vere punishment to those who thus participate. The law in this regard is now forever settled by this de- cision.” Gompers Re) Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, last hight issued the following statement concerning the court decree “Whether the injunction had been vacated or whether it had been made permanent will have no influence upon the railway shopmen. The men with whom some of the rallway compa- nies have thus far refused to come to ny agreement will continue to exer- cise the normal activities guaranteed to them by the laws and the Consti- tution of our country. These railroad executives will, as time goes on, ap- preciate more than even they do not the difference between having the highly skilled mechanics whom they are victimizing and the amateur labor of the strikebreakers whom they have herded. Let any one, any Interested person, make inquiry from the exec- utives of the raflroad companies who have come to an agreement with the railway shopmen's unions, and they will have an appreciation of the tre- mendous advantages which have come to both management and men as a result of the agreements. “So far as Attorney General Daugh- erty is concerned, nothing else could be expected from him than that he wonld follow the bent of his orig- inally declared purpose—to use all the power vested in him as the head of his department to establish what he called the ‘open shop.’ The future, the very near future, will bring about the organization of the men and women of toll, whether on the railroads or engaged in_any other useful in cur republic. service e e e STUDENTS QUIZZED IN DEATH OF GIRL Waitress' Body Found in Bathrobe at Door of Boarding House. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 13—Four Univer- sity of Chicago, students were being questioned by the Chicago police to- day, following finding the body of Elsie Campbell, a waifress, in front of a students’ boarding house here last night.

Last-minute appeals to members of the fair sex to turn out en masse at the polls to aid in choosing a suc- cessor to the late Knute Nelson were being sent out by several woman's organizations. This action, for all voters issued earlier to cast in the week by the three major parties, republican, depo- | cratic and farmer-labor—coupled with the whirlwind campaign being con- ducted from_one end of the state to the other by citizens to their duty. The appeals are arousing a greater interest in the campaign than leaders of the parties hoped to expect. It was said. The apathy that marked the June 18 primary is fast disappearing. The republicans are especlally pleased with this. a normal vote will insure the election of their candidate, Gov. J. A. O. Preus. Others Satisfied. Headquarters here of Magnus Johnson, farmer-labor, and James A. Carley, democrat, also expressed themselves as satisfled with the sit- uation. Despite a sore throat, Gov. Preus continued today his tour of southern Minnesota. The governor has con- fined his campaigning almost entirely to_the southern half of the state.

Fully 7,000 persons packed into 11th street between Pennsylvania avehue and E street and stood for nearly two hours through the pre- liminaries and the main bout in Boyle's Thirty Acres. As the story of the battle came direct from the ring- side by the Assoclated Press wires it was read to the fans through a large megaphone. ‘When- the first few minutes of the {inaugural round described how Firpo !came from his corner with a charac- ‘teristic rush and opened a cut under the blg American’s ear.the throng was silent, but a_moment later the atmosphere was shattered with their cheers as the announcer told them Willard had “stopped the Argentinian short” with a straight left to the jaw. There was no mistaking the symphthies of The Star crowd. Coatless, collarless, with hair di- sheveled and o look of intense anxiety showing in his eyes, an old man stood in front of the Commercial Natlonal Bank today bent nearly double as he tugged at his side. Convinced that hiy exertions were occasioned by pain, a Star man pass- ing that way went up 4nd asked if he could be-of aid. “Indeed you can be of aid,” smiled the old man as he straightened up and mopped the perspiration from his brow. “Just stick your hand down in the lining of my vest and see if it's there,” and he drew back his arm. The somewhat nervous reporter ran his hand down into the opening, pre- pared to encounter any object froma pet alligator to a lunch basket, and brought to the surface a huge old- fashioned wallet. “Thank the Lord, it slipped on the tnside instead of the outside,” cried the old man as he clasped the leather book. Thenfi unwinding the yard or two or heavy red string, he opened it and counted the contents, which included three $1,000 liberty bonds, $600 in "ills, and Beveral good-sized notes, besides some personal memo- rand “Thanks ever so much for your Spend an Houf at Each Day While You Are Away —by reading the news from Washington in THE STAR.

But 8 few minutes later the sad news ar- rived.

It was a typical fight crowd that gath- ered In front of The Star, full of pep, full of cheers and ready to laugh and make fun of anything. = When the an- nouncer told them that Firpo had climbed through the ropes wearing a bathrobe with enough colors in it to make any self-respecting rainbow sick the street rang with hearty, laughing cheers. Willard and the visiting chal- lenger both got big hands when it was announced that they had climbed into the ring. The crowd recelved the news of the fights only a second or two after the crowd in Boyle's Thirty Acres saw them.
