THE STRIKERS.

The strikers are getting close to the
line where popular respect and sympathy
will leave them 10 lie dealt with by the
law. and where they will suddenly find
themselves confronted by the opposition
Of an overwhelming majority.
They ought to have applied the remedy
TO the local trouble and not tried a com
bination that subjected vast interests
TO injury with which. they had no
difficulty. One of the roads on
which the strike has extended
is in the hands OF a receiver, and another
is in such n position as to invoke the
interstate Commerce law. An order Is
asked for restraining the brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and It's officers
and agents, and especially one p. NJ.
Arthur, its chief executive officer from
giving any orders TO the engineers in the
employ Of the receiver TO refuse to haul
loaded cars coming to or going from the
railroad in the receivers charge, and also
nm order to punish the said Arthur for
contempt of court for interfering with
the administration of property In its
custody.
Now Mr.. Arthur doubtless meant well
when he began, for all his previous acts
have proclaimed bin u good man, but he
must have very naturally gotten excited
with the contest, and concluded to do
what he had no right to do under the law.
The order for the strike on M road is
simply and for no other cause than that the
road exchanges freight with the C., b and
Q X. X which they are obliged by law
TO do.
The law makes railroads subject to
