A few days since it was chronicled that two young ladies from Minne apolis caliming to represent a mag azine circulating firm of that city, had been separated from their travel ing companions, two young men, the authorities giving the members of the party the good advice that they had better travel alone in the fu ture. The separation was, however, not relasant either to the girls or the young men and they accordingly pined for the moment when they might once more take up the gipsey trail to the south together. Yester day afternoon the two girls, who gave the names of Lillian and Gene Anderson received the financial re lief that secured them a railroad ticket to Beatrice, or at least that is the destination that they gave, but from all reports they seem not to have tarried there long as last night a message was received here from Falls City in regard to the party.' The two young men. W. II. Em ery and II. L. Barber, who have been out hustling since the girls were separated from them, had evidently kept in close touch with the ladles as all of the party gathered at the city down the river last night, but the naughty Fall City minions of the law evidently did not look with pleasure on the quartet and once more deep and lasting gloom settled down on the four young people. The girls when here stated that they had starteil from Minneapolis with the intention of reaching Wich ita, Kansas, where they were sup posed to" meet a party of ten other sales ladies and a manager, and trie authorities here tried to secure a promise from the girls to return horn? but without success as both ladies were of age and felt their ca reer lay in disposing of the maga zine subscriptions to the public. RAILWAY STRIKERS ARE ENJOINED FROM HINDERING ROADS Shopmen and Affiliated Bodies are Literally Restrained from the Taking of Any Action. Chicago, Sept. 1. Taking one of the most drastic steps ever attempt ed in a strike situation, the United States government today obtained a temporary federal order restraining striking railroad shopmen, their of ficers and affiliated bodies through out the country from interfering In any way whatever with the operation of the nation's railroads. The restraining order, hearing on which was set for September 11, was issued by Federal Judge James II. Wilkerson upon the petition of Unit ed States Attorney General Daugher ty, who cr.rre here from Washington to argue the action. The order enjoins until the' hear ing, all railway employes, attorneys, servants, arents,' at ?oci:'.tes and all persons acting In aid or in conjunc tion with them from in any manner interfering with, hindering or ob structing railway companies, their agents, servants or employes in the operation of their respective rail roads and systems of transportation or the performance of their public duties and obligations in the trans portation of passengers and prop erty, in interstate commerce and the carriage of the mails, and from in any manner interfering with em ployes engaged in inspection, repair, operation and use of trains, locomo tives, cars and other equipment and from attempting to prevent any per son from freely entering into or con tinuing In the employ of the com- panies for the purpose of inspection and repairing of locomotives and cars or otherwise. Survival of Government The underlying principle involved in the action, the attorney general said in concluding his argument for the order, is "the survival and the su premacy of the government of the United States." Declaring that his request was not aimed at union labor, the attorney general said that the step was neces sary 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 unions from destroy ing 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 shopcrafts brotherhoods, the 120 system federations and their presidents and secretaries were made defendants in the attorney general's petition. "Strike Will Continue" . Officials of the shopcrafts assert ed that the order would have no ef fect on continuance of the strike. "The strike will continue until a satisfactory settlement has been reached," Secretary Scott said. W. H. Johnston, president of the Inter national Association of Machinists, said that leaders will not abate their efforts to make the strike effective, despite any action taken by the courts. B. M. Jewell, head of the shopcrafts, issued no statement and at his headquarters early tonight it was reported that he was "in con ference." While Mr. Daughcrty, Blackburn Esterline, his assistant, and Charles (Mine. United States district attor ney, all refused to comment on the possible effect of the injunction Mr. Daughcrty said his future moves will be governed entirely by the actions of the persons enjoined. In his presentation before the court Mr. Daugherty reviewed the efforts at mediation, particularly Fresident Harding's attempts to end the strike. He called attention to the fact that the railroad labor board is an agency of the govern ment and that the president issued a proclamation calling upon the strik ers to return to work, obey the de cisions of the board, and in any event not to interfere with the transporta tion service or with the men willing to enter or continue in service. COMMUNITY CLUB PICNIC IS HELD AT MURRAY FRIDAY Big Event Attended by Very Large Crowd and Fine Time Enjoyed Both Day and Night. Frvm Saturday's tally. The second annual community pic nic was held yesterday by the citi zens of Murray at the pleasant grove of John Farris. south of that place and one of the largest crowds of the year was present to spend the day. At the noon hour at the picnic grounds the ladies of Murray served dinner in cafeteria style and from all reports by the I'lattsmouth delega tion which was present at the picnic, it was a real feast in every sense of the word. Fried chicken, with all the trimmings that the Cass county housewife knows how to prepare was served to the well pleased crowd and rapidly disposed of by the hungry bunch. In the afternoon a program was given consisting of a piano number by Mrs. Roy Cole, vocal selections by the little daughter of Mr. and Airs. Olen Vallery and Miss Helen Wescott. while Mayor Troy L. Davis of Weeping Water, was the chief orator of the -occasion. A mixed quartet of Mrs. Vance Pitman, Miss Helen Todd, L. D. Hiatt and liev. Lee gave several numbers which were much enjoyed. Later in the afternoon the Elks band of this city under the direc tion of E. II. Schulhof gave a most delightful concert jn their usual pleasing manner and for which the people of Murray feel particularly grateful to the band boys and the lodge that made tlie concert possible. In the way of sports the baseball game between the Murray and Sci ota teams attracted the gentlemen of the crowd to the diamond. In the evening a social dance giv en at the Pul3 hall attracted a very large crowd and among these a num ber from Plattsmouth. to trip the light fantastic to the music furnish ed by the Jaz-Classique band of Om aha. TO HAVE TENT AT STATE FAIR. The Nebraska Farm Bureau Fed eration will have a tent on the state fair grounds again this year for the convenience of members who will visit the exposition. Efforts of II. D. Lute, secretary of the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federa tion have so far been unsuccessful in obtaining a speaker of national reputation for the fair program. United States Senator Capper was appealed to, but has notified Mr. Lute that press of business in the national capitol will prevent his at tendance. In the event that no speaker of high caliber is obtained, the use of the auditorium on the fair grounds will not be requested, Mr. Lute re ports. W. A. ROBERTSON Coates Block Second Floor !
