U.S. RAILWAY STRIKE.
RECOURSE TO INJUNCTION. WRITS SERVED ON LEADERS. NO GENERAL STRIKE. By Tolecrapb—Press Ati"ooiation—Copyright (Received 5.5 p.m.) A. and N.Z. NEW YOBS'., Sept. 8. Messrs. Jewell, Johnston, and Ryan, the leaidei's directing- the railwaymen's strike, have been served with writs in Chicago under the Government's injunction as they arrived to attend a secret conference. The Attorney-General, Mr. H. M. Daugherty, announced to-day that the Government -would not be a party to any negotiations between the railways and the strikers. He added that the suggestion that such negotiations would be interfered with by the Government's injunction was wholly unjustified. It is learned from Atlantic City that the executive council of the American Federation of Labour has abandoned the idea of a general strike as a protest against the injunction, preferring to use legal means. It is learned 'that a conference of 50 railway company executives called to consider a settlement of the strike came to a sudden end owing to disagreement over separate settlements proposed by the various lines.
