facturers' association, seeks to perma
nently enjoin organised labor from
using the "unfair" or “We Do Not
Patronise" lists in Its fights against
Arms and Individuals.

telegram District Attorney Parsons
was advised last night from Attorney
General Bonaparte that the order of
Judge Jones, of the United States
court restraining solicitors and sheriffs
of Alabama from Interfering with the
operation of the Louisville and Nash
ville, will be enforced by the depart
ment of Justice regardless of conse
quences. The telegram follows:
“Washington, Aug. 20.
"United States Attorney, Montgomery:
"You are authorised to make public
statement from this department:
"It Is the duty of the department of
Justice to see that process from all fed.
era! courts Is duly served. This duty
exists without regard to the nature of
the litigation in which auch proceas
may Issue the parties or the cause.
"This department already has an
nounced publicly on more than one
occasion that It would see the process
of federal court requiring executive en
forcement duly enforced without re
gard to cost or consequences.
“Every federal court will be sustained
in the execution of Its process so far
os executive enforcement may be need
ed and respect will be exacted to all
orders requiring such executive en
forcement passed by a federal court
In the exercise of the Jurisdiction which
has regularly assumed.
(Signed) "BONAPARTE,
“Attorney General.”
This puts the matter squarely up
to the state oflldala and If Governor
Comer goes ahead regardless of the
Injunction of Judge Jones and causes
the arrest of the Louisville and Nash
ville's employees. It will mean a test
‘ authority between the state and
the government.

New York. Aug. 20.—That the West
ern Union has not discontinued Its re
lations with race track gamblsrs and
gambling Is declared by Daniel L. Rus
sell, chairman of the operators' board
of strategy. He says that the com
pany has made offers to W. F. Sears,
an expert racing telegrapher who has
been recalled from the Saratoga office,
because of the corporation’s inability
to maintain a connection with the
Spa.
On arrival here Mr. Bears was or
dered to take the wire at the Empire
City track.
"You will be paid In checks drawn by
the race track men on their own bank,”
he was told. It Is said. "That will
make It appear that you are employed
direct by the race track, and let you
out with the union."
Operator Balked.
Sears balked and went to the strik
ers' Astor House headquarters. The
strike leaders declare they will follow
this lead and they hope to prove that
the company Is again aiding the pool
room Interests despite the premises of
Its officials that they would cease
breaking the law.
In an effort to tie up solidly every
commercial telegraph wire In America,
the striking operators have turned their
attention to electricians employed by
the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company. President Smalt, of the
union, has notified the electricians of
the system and every cable operator In
New York to be prepared to go out at
any moment.
A picket who tried to send a teat
message that his mother was dying,
was told by the Western Union that
twenty-four hours was the beat the
company could do, and that the Postal
was In even worse shape.

On suggestion of Mrs. Rose Pastor
Stokes and Mist Helen Maret, of the
Women’s Trade Union League, women
strikers have sent an appeal to Jacob
Schlff, an Influential director of the

ington that Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of La
bor, with John Mitchell, president of

ed by President Small, of the Commer

SHERIFF IS SHOT
Twice Wounded By Negro
In Desperate
Battle.
Special to The Georgian.
Cairo, Ga. Aug. 20.—Sheriff D. W.
Tyus waa ahot yesterday afternoon at
Malloy's still, live miles from.here, by
a negro named Charlie Williams, and
will probably dls. The negro had
Jumped a contract, and a warrant had
been sworn out for him. This the
sheriff went to serve, and found the ne
gro at his home. J. R. Gray was with
the sheriff. Coming upon the negro,
the sheriff ordered him to hold up his
hands, but Instead the negro opened
(Ire upon the sheriff, firing five times.
Only two bullets took effect. One of
them was a flesh wound In the head,
and the other lodged In the abdomen.
The latter will probably prove fatal.
As soon as the negro fired, Gray
caught his gun, and caused the other
bullets to go astray. Tyus fired at the
negro twice, and Gray twice, neither
bullet taking effect, unless a slight flesh
wound. The negro ran. and has not
been caught. Sheriff Patterson, from
nalnbrldge, arrived hers on the
o'clock train with dogs. Tyus was
brought home, but the chances for his
recovery are few.
