CHICAGO, Sept. 1. The United States government was granted temporary restraining order today against six distinct striking railroad shopmen's un ions, their officers and members as individuals. The order re strain any of the men involved from interfering with the opera tions of the railroads,- A feder-1 al judge granted the order, and it is effective until Sept. 11 pend ing a hearing of the case, when it will either be made permanent or dissolved. United States At torney General Daugherty, in a statement said: The underlying principle involved is the survival and supremacy of the United States." He alleged that the in junction was made necessary by the fact "that there comes a time in the historv of all nations when 1 the people must be advised or not", No union, or combina tion of unions, can; under the law, dictate to the American Union. When labor unions claim the right to dictate to the gov ernment and dominate the American people, and deprive the people of the necessities of life, then the government will destroy the unions, for the gov ernment of the United States is supreme and must endure. It will be said by some that this proceeding is intended as a death Wow to labor unions. In 'my judgment this movement is nec essary for the protection and preservation of the unions them selves. So long and to the ex tent that I may speak for the fovernment I will use the power of the government within my control to prevent labor unions from destroying the open shop Policy. When a man in this country is not permitted to en gage in honorable and lawful toil whether he belongs to the unions or not, the death knell to liberty will be sounded and anarchy will supercede organized govern ment."

XI, REPLY OF BRITISH Oil SHIP SEARCH PLAN PROPOSED BY UNITED STATES IS AWAITED May Be Boon or Blow to U. S. Prohibition Corps Old Preced- J ents Involved Rum Runners Said to Use Double Clear- :.. ance Papers to Avoid Revelling. Destination. ; By HARRY L. ROGERS. International News Service Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON. D. C. Sept. 1 Tho British people did not take kindly to the suggestions of "Pussyfoot" John son with respect to prohibition. It remains to be seen how the British covernment will receive the over tures of the American Department of State on the same subject With unfeigned Interest the admin istration is awaiting a reply to the proposals made by Secretary Hughes. Not only would the American author ities be provided with powerful wea- pons for attacking the liquor traffic from the West Indies to the United States, but British acquiescence will clear the way for similar agreements with France, The Netherlands and possibly other countries. Unofficial Information. Thus far the negotiations with the British government have been ear ned on, for the most part, tnrouga the British embassy here. The in formation furnished by Secretary Hughes- has- been gleaned from the reports of American - consular offi cers abroad and from American pro hibition enforcement officers operat ing with the so-called "Dry Navy.V This information Indicates that nu merous British ships are engaged in the traffic and that British owners and skippers are making fortunes al most ovor-nlght. The method Is for the merchantman flying the British flag to carry a cargo of liquor from some port In the Bahamas to a point off New York or some other Ameri can port, and well outside the three mile limit. Small, swift power boats, usually manned by desperate charac ters, then come alongside and take over the cargo of "wet goods" for dis tribution among the wholesalers and retailers on shore. It appears, however, that the skippers of the British ships have been practicing duplicities upon the American "dry navy" when pressed too hard for comfort. Experience shows that these ships as a general rule, are provided with two or nrnre sets ot clearance papers, and that these are used as circumstances may demand. One of the proposals Secre tary Hughes hss made to the British government la that stricter supervi sion be given In British ports regard ing the Issuance of ship's papers. Offers Reclproral linn.

Just as the United States would have the right to search British ships. What., the British, would expect to find on . American ships Is not clear, unless It might be arms and munitions for Ire land or India. "Ticklish" Question. - Secretary Hughes la well aware that this question of search on the high seaa is a ticklish one. Many, times In American history It has be come an International Issue, notably Just prior to the War of 1811, when British men-of-war searched Ameri can ships for seamen alleged to be or English birth; again during the' Civil war; and more recently during the World war, when British war ships often seised American cargoes bound ostensibly for Holland, but ac tually supposed to be destined to Germany. ' Nevertheless, ; - Secretary Hughes has some hope that Downing Street will be able to see Us way clear to a reciprocal agreement A considerable period has already elapsed since the American representations were made, and no official reply: has yet been received. ...
