U.S.A. STRIKES.
SABOTAGE AND TERRORISM. BY RAILWAY DIRECT ACTIONISTS EVIDENCE OF GIGANTIC PLOT. New York, September 11. At Chicago, Mr. Daugherty (Attor-ney-General) presented a petition asking that the temporary’ injunction granted against the railwav strikers be made permanent. The Attorney-Gen-eral introduced a mass of evidence supporting charges of a gigantic plot, involving sabotage and terrorism, on the part of the strikers, including, it is said, 25 charge® of murder, tampering with 60,000 railroad cars, burning 14 bridges, and damaging many locomotives. Attorneys representing the strikers suffered a rebuff when Judge Wilkerson. who granted the temjjorary 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 in the ground that the injunction against the railway strikers violates the constitution. The Eastern Railways have put an embargo on all freights except foodstuffs for the purpose of facilitating the distribution of coal in the Eastern States, where a coal famine this winter is likely.—(A. and N.Z.)
