S. Johnson, Portland attorney. No grounds for the appeal is set out in the notice, but it is un derstood that the appeal is taken to further test out the problem which has arisen through the certification of names contained in initiative petitions by notaries public who do not possess a per sonal acquaintance with the per sons to whose names he has certi fied. It is understood here that no appeal willl be taken from the de cree ot the Marion county circuit codrt restraining the secretary of state from placing the grange in- iome tax measure and the fishing measure on the November ballot. These decrees, it is pointed out, were based on facts brought out in the course of the hearings in the lower court which conclusively showed an Insufficient number of qualified voters on the two peti tions. The decree in the Interest rate amendment, on the other hand, wts based upon the validity of the notarial certificttes rather than upon the validity of the sig natures contained on the petition.

( SALEM, OREGON, SATURDAY,. SEPTEMBER 23, in in STRIKE ISSUED Judge Wilkerson Grants Daugherty's Applica tion for Restraining Or der Against Shopmen. Chicago, Sept. 23 Judge james H. Wilkerson today granted At torney General Daugherty's peti tion for a nation-wide temporary injunction against the striking railway shopmen. Judge Wilkerson, in a lengthy review of the case said the de fendants could not deny knowl edge and responsibility tor the widespread violence which has marked the strike. Partial settle ment of the strike, he held, has not affected the right of the gov ernment to obtain a nation-wide Injunction. The court gave attorneys for the defense until Monday morning at 10 o'clock to study the decision and prepare to argue the text ot the injunction order which will be signed. More Drastic Still. Attorney General Daugherty on Thursday presented the govern ment's proposed draft, which is even more drastic than the re straining order in force. The order will affect about 270 officers and 400,000 members of the six crafts belonging to th railway employes' department, American Federation of Labor. The government has not decided whether to follow np the present hearing with a request for a per manent injunction, it was said today. It is considered probable that the strikers will appeal Judge Wilkerson's decision and carry the case to the supreme court because of its importance. To Be Issued Monday. The temporary injunction to be issued Monday will supersede the temporary restraining order issued September 1. Indication that the shop crafts leaders would appear from Judge Wilkerson's decree was given by D. R. Richberg, counsel for B. M. Jewell, president, and John Scott secretary f the railway employes department of the American Fed eration of Labor.

' Owner Censored. Discussing the Southern Illinois Coal company's action In reopen ingf the strip mine while the strike was in effect, the report stales that W. J. Lester, owner, "either was woefully ignorant ot the dan ger," or "blindly determined to risk strife and conflict if profit could be made." Sheriff Melvln Thaxton Is a member of the miners' union and also is a candidate for county treasurer, and he failed to take adequate measures to preserve the peace either because of bis sym pathy for the union or through tear that It would hurt his candi dacy, the report declared.
