JUDGE ALLOWS DRASTIC CURB AGAINSTUNION Injunction Forbids Clothing Workers to Organize in Factories. Rv &cripp*. r f nirartf Xr MJinnrr PHILADELPHIA. Sept 11.—Judge W. H. Kirkpatrick of the federal court of this district has issued an Injunction against the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, which labor leaders assert is one of the most drastic anti-labor injunctions ever granted. It was issued at the request of the attorneys for a number of clothing manufacturers who are opposed to attempts to unionize their establishments. For two months the Amalgamated has been conducting an intensive organizing campaign. Many factories have been unionized and now are in contractural relations with the union. The membership in the union, according to its officials, has increased sixfold since July. The strikes which have been conducted, according to the police department here, have been peaceful* Works Great Benefits The Amalgamated, which has more than 100,000 members employed in the manufacture of men's and boys’ clothing, is one of the largest and richest trade unions in the country and has been recognized for years by the largest clothing manufacturers in the various clothing centers with the exception of Philadelphia. The largest clothing manufacturers in the world. Hart Schaffner & Marx, hav been in contractual relations with the union for eighteen years without a strike. The Amalgamated has attracted attention because of its teachings that the organized workers should make themselves responsible for efficient production. Unexpected by Union The injunction issued by Judge Kirkpatrick was entirely unexpected by the attorneys of the union. They say they had been told by the federal judge last Friday to prepare a brief in reply to the petition for an injunction under the Sherman act! by the manufacturers, to be presented to Judge Kirkpatrick Tuesday. The injunction was issued Monday. The injunction forbids the union cr its officers to do anything toward unionizing the shops of any of the complainants in the case. They must not take any steps looking to the calling of strikes and this includes the spending of any of the funds of the union for that purpose. As the Amalgamated in its campaign of unionization has paid strikers benefits from the first day of the strike, to prevent suffering, this is regarded by organizers as a body blow.

Governor Harry G. Leslie

LEBANON, Ind., Sept. 11.—“I don’t want my picture taken.” Six words, six little words that made every one of the 200 Republican leaders and workers attending the get-together meeting here Tuesday turn around and stare. For it was Governor Harry G. Leslie who said, “I don't want my picture taken.” The words were addressed to a newspaper man and the Republican city chairman of Indianapolis and chairman of the Seventh district, George V. Coffin. It all started when a newspaper photographer asked Coffin to pose for a picture. The Governor cdlled for the newspaper man, who turned around and said, ‘‘Come on and pose with us, Governcr.” “I don’t want my picture taken,” came the rejoinder and the Governor turned his back, very quickly, and walked away.

BARONESS WENNER MAY BE ART VISITOR

Noted Painter of Royalty, Just Completing Painting Monarchs in Europe, Plans Exhibit Here. BARONESS VIOLET BEATRICE WENNER. European portrait painter and friend of monarens, who has painted some of the most famed persons in the world, is considering visiting Indianapolis while on her tour of the United States. The baroness is at present in Europe painting members of the royal family in Holland. Having painted more crowned heads of Europe than any other living artist, and having chummed with kings and queens at private parties, Baroness Wenner knows the inside of European court life, and chuckles at the dignity of royal personages.

Among her portraits of nobility and royalty are numbered the prince of Wales. Prince George, Princesses Mary and Helena, King William of Wurttemburg, the maharajah of Borada. Ex-Kaiser Wilhelm, the late Emporer Franz Josef and numerous others of European royalty. The baroness, after completing her preliminary studies in England, continued her work in Vienna under the famous painter, Professor Von Angeli. She toured Europe in her study of the old masters, and her work in later years has become more famed than any of the modern portrait artists, it is claimed. The baroness is a subject herself, full of “Joi de vie” and bristling with energy. A vivacious, bisque-like little woman, charming in appearance and fascinating in conversation, she

CALM SETTLES ! IN GASTONIA AFTER ATTACK . j Textile Workers’ Union Claims Eight Kidnapers identified. BY ARTHUR F. DE GREVE, United Press Staff Correspondent CHARLOTTE, N. C„ Sept. 11.— Calm had settled over Gastonia and Mecklienburg counties today after a week filled with dramatic incidents. The parade of startling happenings began last Thursday in the county courtroom here, where six- ! teen textile strikers were being tried [ for the fatal shooting of Police Chief Aderholt of Gastonia, when an effigy of Aderholt was introduced by the state. The prisoners turned pale. The widow of the police chief and her daughter turned their eyes from the ghastly sight and wept silently. Then came testimony by officers Tom Gilbert and A. J. Roach, re- i lating how the small town police chief had been killed in front of the strikers’ headquarters which was turned suddenly into a blazing fortress. Headlines shrieked the reported j “Shoot to Kill” order said to have j been given by Fred Erwin Beal, j southern district organizer of the j National Textile Workers’ Union. With this startling testimony well under way, Juror J. G. Campbell, | newspaper vendor, suddenly suffered j a mental collapse, causing a mistrial, of the murder case. After ordering a mistrial Monday,; Judge M. V. Barnhill set Sept. 30 j as the date for anew trial. Less than ten hours later a mob j of anti-Communists stormed a rooming house in Gastonia, kidnaped three union organizers, beat: one severely and conducted a reign of terror in Charlotte while seeking Tom Jimison, a defense attorney, with shouts of “string him up.” Reports that new trouble was imminent in Gastonia could not be verified early today. Meanwhile. Solicitor John Car- j penter was pushing vigorously his j investigation of the kidnaping in- j cident and attorneys for the Na- j tional Textile Workers’ Union an- ! nounced civil and criminal charges j would be filed immediately against j eight men said to have been recognized in the mob. 1

tempt to liquidate the problem in this manner, regardless of a stipulated plebescite, emanated from excellent sources. It is expected the government will make a proposition to Germany on the subject soon. It was stated that France was not interested in the outright purchase by Germany of the mines, but preferred something in the nature of a co-operative commercial agreement, whereby France would retain a certain control therein so as to protect the Lorraine iron and steel industry, which needs the Saar coal.

’SILVER SPOON’ ALONE DREADED FOR STUDENTS Education Expert Declares Majority Are Earnest, Hard Workers. BY E. W. WERKMAN United Press Staff Corresixindent LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. 11.—In tl face of what father and mothe. may have heard, university student, 1 are an earnest, hard-working lot. according to Miss E. Ruth Pyrtle. president of the National Education Association. It’s the college student with a silver spoon in his mouth who worrier professors. Miss Pyrtle said. His cup runneth over and his desire to drinl of the nectar of wisdow may be repressed by more material things she hinted. The “silver spooned” student if the net result of papa's pampering pocketbook plus that dilemma ol deans—the boy, the girl and the motor car—in the interpretation of Miss Pyrtle. Despite “the collegiate,” Miss Pyrtle sees no reason to label a college degree an award of a country club. She is impressed “by the intensity with which college students seek an education.” “Perhaps there are some students with hip flasks, in contrast with the students of yesterday,” Miss Pyrtle hazarded, “but it must be remembered hip flasks weren’t necessary in pre-prohibition days." Big games, big crowds and big football bruisers of colleges hold no big menace in Miss Pyrtle's views. “Clean, wholesome recreation is the salvation of the race. Athletics are not overstressed, if the negative commercial part is eliminated. “Gambling and similar vices should be controlled and then there can be no fault to find with college athletics.” ‘WE’ PREPARE FOR DASH Lindberghs at Home Ready for Ex pedition to South America.
