Judge Gresham and the Strike.

At Chicago, on the 18th inst, Judge
Greshem held court at which the Burling-
ton asked for an order on the Wa
bash railway to compel him to receive and
handle their freight. The bar, railroads
and general public were represented, and
all paid the closest attention to the pro.
ceedings.
Attorney Henry Crawford, on behalf OF
the Wabash railway. read the affidavit OF
General Manager Stone, OF the Burlington
road, in which was sent out a. length copies
OF a telegram alleged to have been sent by
Chief Engineer T. NJ. Arthur, March 2, to
NJ. W. Vernon, at Omaha. Neb., OF the
grievance committee OF the Brother hood,
and reading as follows: do not haul
aid them in any way" The AFFIDAVIT
alleged that similar dispatches have been
sent out by Arthur in all direc-
tions to members of the Brotherhood.
and among Others to engineers in the em.
ploy OF the receiver and that it would
be abundantly established that the said
Arthur. as the main executive officer OF
the Brotherhood. had interfered with tho
property III the custody OF the court, and
the engineers in the employ Of the court
had obeyed his orders against the laws OF
OF the state and the laws of the United
States and the order of the court.
Attorney Dexter read the complaint, and
the attorney on the other side read the
answer OF the Wabash line. After argu.
ments the Judge virtually gave his decision
when he said he did not think the Burling-
ton had any case in court.
The prevailing opinion in the court room
after the decision was that the Judge would
refuse to issue any order touching the
action ofChief Arthur or the Brotherhood,
on the ground that it ia beyond his juris-
diction, and properly regulated by the
state laws.
