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.

cept the labor board's decision cut-

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. Copeland, health comm:.-
jsloner of New York, who condemned
the new fashion as unsanitary and
unhealthy. 'At the same time- Dr.
Copeland defended the modern cor
set as beneficial, and helpful in
maintaining proper carriage. 1
"in Paris recently I noted with
regret the remarkable changes in
woman's dress that has taken place,
In? 'so short a time," said the com
missioner.' "It mst , be .admitted
that the Parisian maidens were for
merly a little bit scant in their at
tire, but even so they were wearing
garments far - more- sanitary and
healthful than the present mode de
mands. To my mind a woman's dress
should be so planned 'that she has
perfect freedom- of movement.
"When a skirt is made so long
that it drags the ground it carries
street dirt and disease germs into
the home.
"So far as the corset Is concerned.
I believe that the modern girdle
and the newer forms of corset give
some support to the body'Stnd are
healthful in maintaining an upright
position and graceful carriage."

Fewer Than In Several Years.
VANCOUVER. Wash., Sept. 1.
(Special.) During August this year,
o::Iy 195 couples were married In
Vancouver. This is lower than the
number last year, which was 214.
For 1920 the number was 241, and
231 in 1919. . - , .
The number being married for the
eight months ending with August
this year was 1479, as compared
with 1775 for August of last year.
This is partially accounted for by
the depressed business conditions of
thi-. last year, and which are now
improving.

! Appointment of New Consul
Delayed by Government.
HARDING IS INTERESTED
Investigation Said to Hare Shown
Nothing Discreditable to
Ousted Officials.
WASHINGTON, D. C ,' Sept, 1.
(By the Associated Press.) The
Washington government' is. not con
vinced there was any misconduct on
.the part of its two consular officers
at Newcastle, Englana, wno recently
were .deprlvtd of their authority by
British officials, and until a proper
Investigation has. been made, no
steps are to be taken to reopen the
Newcastle consulate.
The action of the British authori
ties in suspending exequaturs of the
Americans, it wag pointed out today,
automatically resulted In the clos
ing of the consulate, and If incon
venience to British subjects has re
sulted, the responsibility for it does
not fall upon vWashington. For the
present no other consular officers
are available for threNe wcastle post.
It is declared, and in any case this
government is " immediately inter
ested in having the doubt which
has been cast upon its representa
tives cleared away, one way or the
other. ' '
Officials here will not discuss the
Incident in detail, but it is apparent
that ' cajicellaiton of the -exequaturs
came as a. surprise, in view-, of the
fact that the action was taken be
fore the state department had com
pleted Its Investigation into the
British change,' that the" Newcastle
consul ahd vice-consul had improp
erly influenced travelers to patron
ize vessels of the United States
shipping board In discrimination of
British ships. -
It was learned " today that Presi
dent Harding has interested himself
in the case, and while he recognizes
that additional evidence may .be
produced as the investigations con
tinue, he believes nothing has de
veloped to the present time to re
flect discredit on "the two men.
State department officials also said
there was no information in their
possession oh which disciplinary ac
tion of the consuls would be justi-
j fied.

the railroad managements wer re
cited yesterday morning before

ence, by "Hermit Bill" Henry of

It developed that Henry's Srt-mln-ute

fundamental facts of the present

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 personnel con
sisted of three l;i Imr represent! Ives,
three capitalist I eprenen tat i es,
avowed, and three more CHpllalial
represent at I ves. unavuwetl.
Mrlke Deplored .
"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
