.ars. He cannot discriminate

'udde Gresham. against one road by maintain
ing the policy of non-intercourse More need
not De said on this question, as the receiver
ntS wisely reScinded his Instructions which
disseminated against the petitioner, and has
no purpose or desire to deny to the petitioner
any of its local rights
Although the petitioner has accomplished
IT'S chief purpose in invoking the aid of the
court, 1t is urged by its counsel that persons
belonging to the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, and especially P. NJ Arthur, who
is the chief officer of that organization, have
tnterfered with the receiver and his subor
inmates in the management of the Wabash
property, and that they should be punished foI
their Illegal and contumacious conduct. The
receiver and his counsel make no such com
plant On the contrary, the receiver declares
that there has been no interference with him.
While affidavits submitted in support of the
petition show that Mr. Arthur sent telegraph
tc message to the engineers of the Union
Pacific Railway Company at Omaha, directing
them to haul no cars of the petitioner, it does
not fairly appear from the evidence that the
engineers in the service of the receiver re.
ce1yed such orders by telegraph or otherwise.
For the present it is sufficient to say that the
court will protect the property of the Wabash
in its custody. The employees of the receiver
can not be obliged to remain in his service
against their wishes, but neither they or others
will be permitted to interfere with or disturb the
receives or his subordinates in the possession
and operation of the prope rty in his custody.
Lawless interference with the receiver and his
emloyes in the discharge of their duties will not
be tolerated. It is proper to state however, in
justice to the Wabash engineers, that they do
not desire to maintain an attitude ofEdefiance to
the law. and that they are now willing to aid
the receiver in the lawful and successful adj
ministration of his trust. The receivers an.
swer renders it Unnecessary for the court to do
more than direct that the petition remain on
file for future action should there be occasion
for it,

A BURLINGTON BOOMERANG.

The SO" Road in Another Hot Box by
Reason of Action Suggested by Its Re-
cent Case Against the Misunderstanding
More Freight then 1t Can Handle.
CHICAGO, March ia novel PROPOSE
ton was made at the strikers headquar-
tiers. namely, to induce the engineers on
all other roads to cheerfully handle all
the freight that may be consigned to the
Burlington as fast. as it can be legiti-
mately attended to. By this process 1t is
claimed the yards and tracks of the Buzz
lington will be completely blockaded and
the road will find it impossible to get rid
of the accumulated freight with the linn =
tied number of mon at it's command. The
Wisconsin Central road pursued these
tactics and transferred to the Burlin ton
yards three trains, consisting of
seventy eight cars of lumber,
which were billed to the Burlington.
The road succeeded in getting but one
train of twenty eight cars, out refused
to receive the other two trains, they
could not be handled by the road. These
trains were then backed out on the Wis
consin Central tracks. General Manager
Mellan at once notified the Burlington
officials that trackage would be charged
to the road as long these trains re-
manned there, aud that the bills for the
freight amounting to several thousand
dollars, were to be Immediately present ed
for payment. The men claim that all the
other roads can pursue a similar course,
and if the Burlington can not take care
of the freight they can be charged track
age, and be required to pay all bills upon
the tender of the freight.
It was reported that the Burlington
road had locked it's switches conn Getting
with the Western Indiana and Belt Line
and refused to receive any more freight,
as it could not be taken care of. The
Western Indiana had train destined
for the Burlington road, and the switch
men, finding the switches locked, DELHI
erately broke the locks, turned the
switches and transferred the freight to
the Burlington tracks. This plan w ill re.
ceive further consideration at the meet
ings of the strikers and engineers on the
other roads.
Another paper says that the engineers
on the lines competing with the Burling-
ton are very uneasy. They are as rule,
it is stated, dissatisfied with the dila tory
action of the various grievance com.
mittees. and nearly Gil of them assert
that should the grievance committees de-
eide to allow the handling of 20" cars
they individuals would refuse to
do SO even if they have to quit work.
