INJUNCTION ORtfER ISSUED Government Supreme, Says Attorney-General. PUBLIC RIGHTS ASSERTED Sweeping Order Issued In Feleral Court Forbidding Any In- - terferenee With Traffic. CHICAGO. Sept. 1. (By the Asso ciated Press.) By one of the most drastic steps ever taken in a strike situation, the United States govern ment today obtained a temporary federal order restraining: striking railroad shopmen, , their officersani affiliated bodies . throughout the country from interfering in any way whatever with the operation of the nation's railroads. The restraining order, hearing on wmch was set- for September 11, was issued by Federal Judge Wilk erson, upon the petition of Attorney-General Daugherty, who came here from Washington to argue the action. AH Obstruction Forbidden. The order enjoins, until the hear ing, all railway employes, attorneys, servants, agents, associates and all persons acting in aid or in con Junction with them from in any manner interfering with, hindering or obstructing railway companies, their agent3, servants or employes in the operation of their respective railroads and systems of trans portation, or the performance of their public duties and obligations In the transportation of passengers and property, in interstate com merce and the carriage of the mails, and from in any manner interfer ing with employes engaged in j. spection, repair, operation and use of trains, locomotives, cars and other equipment, and from attempt ing to prevent any person from freely entering into or continuing in the employ of the companlec for the purpose of inspection and re pairing of locomotives and cars or otherwise. The underlying principle 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 United States." ' Vight Not on Union. Declaring that his request was not aimed at union labor, the attorney general said that the step ,was necessary to the preservation of the unions themselves. At the same time he asserted that the government ex pected to use its authority to pre vent the "labor union from de stroying the open shop." "When the unions claim the right to dictate to the government and to dominate the American people and deprive the American people of the necessities of life," he warned, "then the government will destroy the unions, for the government of the United States is supreme and must endure," The railway employes' department of the American Federation of La bor, B. M. Jewell, its president; J. F. McGrath, vice-president, and John Scott, secretary-treasurer, together with the six shopcrofts brother hoods, the 120 system federations and their presidents and secretaries, were made defendants in the attorney-general's petition. Officials of the shop crafts as serted that the order would have no effect on continuance of the strike. Labor Leaders Unmoved. "The strike will continue until a satisfactory settlement has been reached," Secretary Scott said. W. S. Johnston, president of the Inter national association of machinists. Bald the leaders would not abate their efforts to make the strike ef fective desp'te any action taken by the courts. ' B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts, issued no statement and at his headquarters early tonight it i was reported that he was "in con- t Xerence." I While Mr. Daugherty, Blackburn I Ksterline. his assistant, and Charles .1 Clyne, United States district at torney, all refused to comment on the possible effect of the injuetior.. Mr. Daugherty said his future moves -would be governed entirely by th.j actions of the persons enjoined. In his presentation of the case before the court, Mr. Daugherty re viewed the efforts at mediation, particularly President Harding's attempts to end the strike..' He called attention to the fact that the railroad labor board is an agency of the government, and that the president issued a proclamation call ing upon the strikers to return to work, obey . the board's decisions and in any event not to interfere with the transportation service or with men willing to enter or con tinue in service. Labor Board Repudiated. The defendants in refusing to' ac cept the labor board's decision cut- (.Concluded on Page 2, Column 2.) Modern Corset Is Defended as Beneficial and Helpful in Keeping Proper Carriage. J (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) . j NEW YORK, Sept.. 1. The Ion? skirt, whose return has been ' or dered by commercial style dictators, ! was severely attacked today by Pr. j Royal S.

Complaints of the striking; rail road employes of the country against their former employers the railroad managements wer re cited yesterday morning before bishops of the Protestant Episcopal church, sitting in Informal confer ence, by "Hermit Bill" Henry of Washington. I. C. Criticism was not confined to railroad manage ments, but extended to the federal labor board, the government, capit alists In general and even President Harding. It developed that Henry's Srt-mln-ute talk before the Episcopal church heads was not an attempt to place fundamental facts of the present strike situation before the church men. It contained much more of criticism than of plea for moral support of the church leadera for the strikers. Bishops Make No Comment. The talk was said not to hv called for an expression from the bishops and none was forthcoming. This, however, was not to hava been expected since request for th audi ence had been answered by tha statement that the bishops would listen to a presentation of the, strikers' cause simply as Individu als and not in official capacity. After his talk Henry save out a statement summarizing and quoting what h had said. Some of his ex pressions .follow : "The cry wa rained to clve th labor board peace. Hut It was not labor men who ma'Je.the ilemanil. The cry came from the ral them selves ami their hirelings. Tim roads were, nuperlor to the. board. They owni-ti it.

"The shopnien'B . strike, baa been won since the third week of Its ex istence. Transportation has been paralysed since that time and In paralyzed now. If President Hard ing had the hardihood und fairness to tell the railroads ,they cannot force the government to fittht their , battles, or that, failing to crush the, railroad unions, they will not be allowed to unload the roals on the taxpayers, the roads would sign up with the shopmen at once. "The ratlrouds have been a thorn 'n the side of the American people ever' since they were started. The mcrst astounding Instance of law lessness in this country are to bu found In the annals of the railways." The local executive committee of the shop crafts strike organization accompanied Henry to the session of the bishops In the municipal audito rium. These men were Fred Ross, chairman; . B. Knight, secretary: Sara Klnberg. D. Slgler. F. Robin son, F. Matthewson and B. R. Roash. Short Commandments Planned. Except for the 30-mlnute Inter ruption for the audience granted the strikers the bishops dtvoted lh time of two more busy sessions yes terday to consideration of proposed prayer-book changes. The office of the holy communion was under con sideration. Involved In the changes proposed In this connection la tha suggestion to authorize use of tliu shortened form of the ten com mandments. The bishops resent reports that have gone out to the effect that they propose "blue penciling" the commandments. The proposal, they explain, is merely that of printing both short and long forms of thu commandments In the prayer bonk and leaving it to choice of the clergy as to which shall be used 1 their services. The short form la that which cuts the phraseology to essentials only. The fifth command ment, for Illustration, would be come merely, "Honor thy father and thy mother," and the tenth, "Thou shalt not covet." Heaaloaa to lie Expedited. By having full expression In these conferences, with reference to pro posed prayer book change and other church legislation coming be fore the convention as reports of various commissions. It is planned greatly to expedite the official ses sions opening next Wednesday. The house of bishops is said to be soma few steps behind the house of depu ties In the matter of church legisla tion. It Is taking this opportunity to catch up. Despite eagerness of the bishops to speed their work, only a morn ing session will be held today. This (Concluded oa Pag 12, Column ) I L
