AMERICAN STRIKES.
INJUNCTION AGAINST VIOLENCE. RESENTED BY LABOR LEADER. COMPULSION TO LABOR. r 1 / By Telegraph:—-Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Sept. 5, 5.5 p.m. New York, Sept. 5. Mr. Samuel Gompers (president of the American Federation of Labor), speaking at Philadelphia, said the injunction against the railway unions aiming to restrain the strikers from violence “is a violation of the constitution and the laws of the land. The Government has exercised a power never dreamed of in the history of the Republic. The injunction is wrong in principle and fact, and a confession that the shopmen nearly won the strike.” Mr. Gompers urged the unions to furnish funds to support the women and children of the strikers, while the men must fight and take care of themselves if both President Harding and Mr. Dougherty are advocating legislation to bring about compulsory labor. Thus the party of Lincoln, which freed slaves, is now trying to force compulsory labor upon whites and blacks.”— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
