BIRMINGHAM, Ala, December 19.-When
the question of boycot.s was raised in the
convention of the American Federation Of
Labor, President Gompers said that every
local organization now took upon itself the
right to levy boycotts and spread them be-
fore the whole country. The boycott was Q
powerful weapon in the hancs of wage work
ers. but if used unfairly, promiscuousIy and
without investigation, was likely TO react and
destroy iss own usefulness. He recon-
mended that hereafter before boycott vas
inauQurated il should first Be approved By
the federation IN its annual conversions or
by its executive COMMITTEES N ths innGxim Of
Conventions.

THE TELEGRAPHERs' STRIKE.

1t Covers the Atlantic and Pacific Too.
ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, December T.-One
Of tie biggest railroad strikes in the south
west is threatened.
Every dispatcher and operator in the en-
ploy of the Atlantic & Pacific from this city
to Moiave, Cal, quit their keys, and all trains
are ut a standstill as far as the above road is
concerned.
Not an A. & P. wire is being used, and all
business over that road Is positively refused
by brotherhood men. The strike is similar
to one now in progress on the Southern Pa
cihc, and has its origin in the fact that Super
lntendent of Transportation Smith, of the
Atlantic d Pacific, few days ago notified
the dlspatchers of that company that he OBJ
lected to them being members of the Order
of Railway Telegraphers. and that if they
did not withdraw they must suffer dismissal.
The dispatchers refused to withdraw, but
to prevent trouble Manager Gable told them
the company would offer no objection to
their becoming members of the order.

of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, and

trouble on the S. Z. and A. &. z. railroads.
Grand Chief Thurston said the strike would
be amicably settled. ''We are for peace" he
declared, but if the companies wish to fight
we are prepared to meet them"
THE STRIKE ORDERED OFF.
Acting Grand Chief Ramsey has just sent q
telegram to the strike committee of the A. d
p. strike, lnstructing them to declare the
strike off providing The officials of the road

Employees Grt Their Wages.

FoRr ScorI, KAN, December "a case
was decided in the district court of Bourbon
county, Kan, which interests about fifty
persons, glass blowers and others, who we're
deprived of their wages when the Fort Scot,
glass works shut down three years ago, also
the firm of Shoppell d Co., of st. Louis, who
furnished material for the works while in
operation. The court in the above case rem
dered judgment against the stockholders,
who, under the corporation laws of tho state
are held responsible for the legitimate ex.
penses of the corporation in double the
amount of stock held by each-in other words
q double liability attaches. The employees of
the works, many of whom live in st. Louis,
will therefore receive the wages due them,
with interest for several years. Mrs. Laura
Tlernan, wife of one of the principal man
ayers, sued the stockholders under the double
Inability act in the sum of $4,000. The court
held her case not good and refused to allow it.
