TERRORISM IN AMERICA. SCHEMES OF STRIKERS. SABOTAGE AND MURDER. xfy Telegraph.-*--Press Aa»n.—Copyright. Received Sept. 12, 935 p.m. New York, Sept. 11. At Chicago, Mr. Daugherty (the At-torney-General » presented a petition asking that the temporary injunction granted against the railway strikers be made permanent. The AttorneyGeneral introduced a mass of evidence supporting charges of a gigantic plot involving sabotage and terrorism on the part of strikers, including, it is said, 25 charges of murder, tampering with 60,000 railroad care, burning 14 bridge® and damaging many locomotives. The attorneys representing the strikers suffered a rebuff when Judge Wilkerson, who granted the temporary injunction, rejected the former’s request to be allowed to present arguments on a motion to dismiss the injunction before Mr. Daugherty was allowed to argue for permanency. In the House of Representatives, Mr. Keller (Minnesota) introduced a motion calling for the impeachment of Mr. Daugherty on the ground that the injunction against the railway strikers violates the constitution.
