GENERAL'S ORDER RO R AT e Officials of Electrical DAUGHERTY IN CONFEE ‘Brotherhood in Dis- trict of Columbia Make Formal Protest Against Provisions. Union Leaders Deny Know- ledge of Peace Meeting Monday, But One Is Re- ported Scheduled for Chicago. Washington, Sept. 7.—A petition for an injunction was filed today in the supreme court of the District of Columbia against U. §. Attorney Pey- ton Gordon and Edgar C. Snvd U. 5. marshal for the District of Columbia, by the international broth- erhood of electrical workers, James P. Noonan, president, and Charles P. Ford, secretary. It would restrain Gordon and Snyder from enforcing within the District of Columbia the provisions of the blanket injunction {ssued to Attorney General Daugh- erty in Chicago last week. The plaintiffs state that neither be- fore nor since the first day of July this year have they committed any unlawful acts incident to the strike of the railway shopmen. The broth- erhood and President Noonan were named in Attorney General Daugh- erty’s injunction. The petition was set for hearing before Justice Balley next Saturday. The petition asserted that the only knowledge the phintiffs had of the provisions of the Chicago injunction had been gained from newspaper re- ports. On the basis of this informa. tion they averred that the in‘unction was “issued without authority of jaw” and was without effect in the District of Columbia. No News of Peace, New York, 8ept. 7.—The rall strike situation was enveloped in a deep cloud of mystery again today when local shopmen leaders and rail exee- utives reiterated their denial that they knew anything about a peace move or a call for a meeting of the policies committee of the unions. David ‘Willlams, secretary of the central committee of the eastern shopmen, insisted ths morning that his committee knows absolutely nothing about secret meetings re- ported to have been held in Balti- more, or of proposals from Chicago for ending the strike. He added that members of the policy commjttee who are here have received no telegrams calling them to a meeting in Chicago on Monday. Instead of teking part in peace moves, the strikers committee is lay- ing plans for a stronger fight against the rcads, he asserted. “We are going ahead in this dis- trict without paying attention to con- flicting rumors of peace,” he con- tinued. “The injunction has helped us. After tonight's meeting of the <entral trades and labor council you will find that 800,000 organized work- ers will be back of the shopmen's strike. This means that we shall have ralsed for us a fund of approx- imately three million which will en- able us to win the strike in this district.” Meeting On Monday. Chicago, Sept. 7.—With the rail- way shop crafts policy committee of §0 summoned to meet in Chicago next Monday hope of an early or partial settlement of the rall strike was re- rnewed today for the first time since railroad executives and union chiefs broke off peace negotiations in New York. These hopes were founded princi- pally on the call for the unions pol- icy committee meeting and statements by strike leaders of the possibility of separate agreements with 52 of the class one roads, representing approx- imately 85,000 miles. Rallroad executives either denied that peace overtures had been con- sidered in conferences with union leaders, or declined to comment upon rumors of an impending settlement. Some insisted that the strike was broken and that peace parleys had ended with the break up of the New York conferences. The call for the policy committee meeting issued at Chicago strike headquarters by John Scott, secretary of the rallway employes department of the American Federation of Labor went out to the general chairmen of the shop crafts organizations over the name of B, M. Jewell, head of the de- partment whose whereabouts had re- mained publicly unknown since the government's strike injunction was granted to Attorney Gen. Daugherty by Federal Judge Wilkerson last Fri- day. Deny Any Conference.

At a meeting of the board of directors of the Chamber of Com- merce held immediately following the joint meeting with the Rotary club this afternoon, it was decided unanimously to enter into a contract with the American City Bureau, Inc., to put new life into the local cham- ber. The American City Bureau's business is that of reviving apathetic Chambers of Commerce and putting them on their feet so that they can be of more service to the commu- nity and at the same time materially Increase their income. City Has Been Surveyed. The directors met for dinner at the New Britain Club last evening at which time they were addressed by Howard Strong, of Chicago, who rep- resented the American City Bureau. The bureau has made a survey of this city and 8 satisfied that upwards of 1,000 memberships at $25 each can be secured. Terms offered by Mr. Strong were was unanimously in favor of entering into the agreement. Leon A.

With 1,000 members in New Britain, Mr. Strong predicts under the bureau system to have 800 members in actual committee work at the end of the first year, The campaign would last from 10 to 12 weeks, with a fol- low up advisory service for three years. What the bureau has done in some cities was shown by Mr. Strong when he cited Terre Haute, Indiana, a city of 65000 people. The Chamber of Commerce there now has an annual income of 847,000, since the bureau put it on its feet.

Mr. Halloran had no statement to make today. He said, however, that he was proud of the type of men who made up his supporters; also that he held no fears but that he would re- ceive united backing from the local democrats.

A state delegation, said to be overwhelmingly a Halloran group, was dispatched uninstructed. Mayor Scores Mangan. The excitement attendant to the caucuses of the preceding night was completely eclipsed toward the end of the meeting when Mayor Paonessa took the floor in a severe arraignment of the chairman, L. P. Mangan, and of the delegates. He charged the appointment of an unfair committee to nominate delegates, termed the entire procedure ‘“rotten politics’ and asserted that the proceedings of the evening were ‘“a disgrace to the democratic party.” Paonessa is “Booed” In reply he was booed, amid shouts | of the so-called competent common labor already in etfect, was an- nounced today by the Chase Metal ! Co,, the Chase Rolling Mills, the Scovill Manufacturing Co. and the American Brass Co. In the Ilast named instance the advance also ap- plies to the plants of the company in Torrington and Ansonia. Under the new scale common labor will recelve 35 cents an hour. A statement issued by the Chase Metal Co. says: “The employing department of the Chase Metal Works and the Chase Rolling Mills finding that the hiring rates of competent common labor have been advanced by one or more of the brass mills in this city to 35 cents per hour, having been author- ized to make the same advance. It is presumed that this will naturally be followed by a similar advance in the hiring rates of other employes at these two plants. Interviews with manufacturing plant heads indicated that there is a shortage of common labor here due in a large measure to the fact that during the industrial depression large numbers of former workers re- turned to European countries and they are not able to return because of restrictive immigration laws. The present condition is that manufactur- ers have been bidding for competent common labor. PROFESS HAPPINESS Both Prof. and Mrs. Tiernan, Mixed Up in Dirty Scandal, Agree Not to | Separate.

Calls McKenna “Guerrilla.” “Shut up! you guerrilla!” was the retort of the mayor which precipi- tated a howl that might be heard for blocks. Lawyer David L Dunn, as chairman of the town committee, opened the meeting shortly after 8 o'clock, in- forming the delegates that they were gathered to pick representatives to the state, congressional, county and probate conventions, and {f they saw fit, to nominate a senator and two representatives to the general as- sembly.

Mangan being the only nominee when Lawyer Dunn declined to be a candidate. Halloran Wins First The first victory of the evening for the Halloran forces over the Paonessa crowd came when nominations were called for the election of a secretary. James R.
