In an interview with the Chicago Tine,
Nr. Alexander Sullivan, Chief Arihur's
legal adviser, says with regard to Judge
Gresham's opinion:
/
Judge Gresham's decision, but, on the
contrary, every word of it has the I'M
qualified approval of the engineers. The
court declares that he will do his duty to
the Wabash property, and that There
must be no unlawful interference with
that property No injury will be done
to il by such of its employees as belong
to the Brotherhood Of Engineers. They
will show no disrespect to the court
whose officials are managing the road
They have no contempt FOR him, either
as a Judge or as man. Indeed he has
their highest esteem. And, unlike Il judge
4 In the West, who is said 20 have decided
that freemen cannot refuse to work,
Judge Gresham declares distinctly that
men cannot be forced 10 work II they do
not wish TO.
by the way, what do you think OF
that injunction prohibiting men from
striking
Il do not know exactly what the order
referred to was; and cannot believe
that the kilograms correctly reported. II
Il was what you assume, namely, an order
tina, certain working men must not work,
ii is not worth the paper II Is written
on. The TWO negatives make an affirma'
tive. In other words, the order Is that
the men must work. Such orders only
deserve obedience when they are adj
dressed by the proper officials to cTimi-
nails who are under sentence Of punish
ment. and whose sentences include the
performance OF labor for the state.
Slavery was abolished in this country
after considerable trouble, and no judge
can restore IL. The employer has a right
to refuse TO buy labor If the terms de.
manded for it do not suit him. The
working man has y right TO refuse TO sell
his labor if the price offered for II and
the circumstances under which the offer
Il made DO not suit him"
"Then YOU contend that the men have
a right TO quit their engines when and
where they please
"Oh, no. | DO not. Engineers cannot
Quit their engines at sny time or place.
They must deliver the engines al their
regular scheduled destination %
But if the quitting shows II is the re-
suit Of conspiracy
If an unlawful combination IS made
wifully and maliciOusly TO injure prop
erty, business or employment OF any per-
son or corporation, those making it are
guilty of a crime and can be punished for
such crime. Ii is matter of business,
not of sentiment or hatred. There will
he no conspiracy entered into by the en-
gineeis Of the Brotherhood TO injure the
business or the property of the Quincy.
The injury which is being inflicted on
the property IS not the work OF the
Brotherhood.
The Chicago Herald says John L.
Sullivan, who strobe the narrow world
like colossus, is no longer the greatest
man on earth They who say ii must
! feel certain shock Of regret, for there is
something Of hero-worship in every soul.
That one person should exceed all Others
"a billion others-in physical proves
was delusion eagerly harbored. And 1t
was but a delusion after all Cndoubi-
edly there have been millions OF men who
could swell Sullivan's ear as roundly as
he could confuse their brows, but the
bubble reputation protected Sullivan.
Men feared him. He was himself stepped
deeply in It, He will kill somebody
with that left his courtiers whispered
to one another i shall kill man with
that-I know | shall I was Sulllvan's
pensive lament, as he gazed upon that
sinister terror, 1t was fearful response
bility, this god-like might"
The Chicago Nsu, says that II is OPP
posed 10 Mr. Randalls tariff reform bill :
The bill repeals the entire internal
tax on fruit brsndies, thus transferring
the disabling industry from the great
corn growing sections Of the West 10 the
mountains of North Carolina and Ten
nessee, and the orchards of Maryland and
New Jersey, where all the high wines OF
the future are to be produced, prudently
tiuctured with the essence OF peach pits.
Nor Is this all OF the concentrated in
EQUITY OF this Infamous bill, conceived In
the lowest circles OF the demagogue's in
feTno."
What are the Republicans going to do
10 the matter Of tariff legislation Are
they willing 10 20 10 the country without
