GENERAL STRIKE S « BEING AGITATED (Continued From First Page.) lawlessness and ction against S 3 with the violence” in connection strike. New Govt. Threat. From the White House came the declaration that the federal govern- ment will not stop with the restrain- ing order if it finds “that other steps are necessary.” In their statement the council as- sumed “that the right of rallway em- ployes is acknowledged to continue a lawtul strike in a lawful manner un- til a satisfactory settlement is made.” Strikers’ Viewpoint. “At least until advised that the eonstitution of the United States and the decisions of the supreme court are no longer to be relied upon as the Jaw of the land,” the statement con- tinued, “the officlals of the organiza- tions of railway employes will con- tinue to perform their legitimate du- ties to their members to aid them in the lawful pursuit of their lawful pur- poses, and to do all in their power, in conjunction with ofticers of the government to restrain and to pun- fnsh every unlawful act of those who are rightfully involved or who without right involved themselves in the op- eration of the roads.” The statement declared that it could not be assumed that the at- torney .general would have walted two months, to proceed against the strikers if a peacéful conduct of the strike was unlawful, or that Presi- dent Harding would have held con- ferences with ‘“lawbreakers’ and “proposed that the lawbreakers whom they represented should return to ! work, under terms which they after- ward accepted and which the railway executives rejected.” Daugherty’s Stand. Attorney Gen. Daugherty, in pre- senting his petition, declared its un- derlylng principle was “the Survival and supremacy of the government of the United States.” He declared the injunction was not almed at union labor, and that the action was necessary to the reserva- tion of the unions themselves. Briefly and in effect the injunction restrains striking shopmen, their leaders and agents from: Effect of Injunction. Picketing. In any manner by let- ters, circulars, telegrams, telephone messages, word of mouth or by in- terviews, encouraging any person to Jeave the employ of a railroad or to refrain from entering such employ. Interfering or obstructing any rail- way. Hindering inspection, repair or equipment of locomotives or cars. Conspiring or agreeing to hinder rail- roads in the transportation of sengers, property and malls. Interfering with employes going to or returning from' work ‘‘by displays of force or numbers” threats intimi- dations, acts of violence, opprobrious epithets, jeers, taunts or entreaties.” Loltering at or near places of in- gress and egress for employes. Trespassing on the premises of any railroad or any other place except “where the public generally are in- vited to come to transact business.” Doing any injury or bodily harm to any employe of a railroad. Chicago, Sept. 2.—While rigid re- strictions were placed by the federal injunction on all patticipants in the nation-wide rail strike, vandalism and violence continuied to make their black marks in the current higtory of the shopmen's walkout. TheMast 24 hours, however, developed fewer out- rages than days immediatelv preced- ing. 3 Train Is Derailed.

Train and Mine Curtailment. The Baltimore and Ohio announced annulment of 23 passenger trains September 4. Some coal mines in the southern Illinols flelds were closed because of a car shortage.

Department of justice operatives denied that a nation-wide raid on radicals was contemplated as a result of disclosures and arrests in Chicago in connection with alleged wreck plots.

NFLUENCE HINTED IN CHANGE OF VOTE (Continued From First Page.) ous resolution, and Judge Klett on the night of the meeting is reported to be as follows: “Mr. Klett don't you think it would be for the best inter- ests of the republican party if Rora- back were eliminated.” “That's a hard question to answer, I have been approached by both sides and I have made no pledges what- ever and I am not going to. If a res- olution is passed here I'll give it the greatest consideration.” As it stands now, three delegates voted in favor of some other man than Roraback and two voted for Rora- back. After the meeting one dele- gate called up the chairman who did not vote but who is said to be open- ly opposed to Roraback, and asked to change her vote. Since the decision rests with Mr. Kimball, an anti- Roraback man himself, it is entirely unlikely the vote will be changed, and the New Britain delegation will have gone on record as favoring the ousting of the present chairinan of the republican state central commit- WAR VETERAN DEAD George E.

The reply signed by Premier Poincare was given out last night. Such a meeting the French- note holds would have the most salutary effect on the reparations problem, as until the question of interallied debts is settled there can be no solution of the former. Furthermore it is again pointed out, France can not pay her war debts until she recelves the money from Germany. Favors Debts Canoelled. The note reiterates the French view that general cancellation of the war debts is justifiable, and plainly intimates that the United States should participate in any general agreement.
