out to the letter, and the courts will

for contempt lie questioned the de-
cision ofJudge Taft in declaring Rule
IL of the engineers as violence and
criminal conspiracy against the coun-
try. The granting of a temporary in
junction against Chief Arthur of the
engineers does not affect the law OF
the engineers, and individual members
will still be compelled to carry out that
order notwithstanding the decision
rendered by Judge Taft The rule can
only be changed by the supreme off,
GERS of the organization at a general
convention. The boycott will be en-
forced by the men, and instead Of re-
fusing to handle trains containing Ann
Arbor cars the engineers and firemen
will simply resign their positions and
the courts will then be compelled to
prove that they refused to handle Ann
Arbor in order to hold them for con-
tempt If the boycott already acted
on by the engineers is criminal
conspiracy against the country, as
decided by Judge Taft, then boycotts
are at an end in America. If II APP

which boycotted the Chicago s. Alton

Mr.. President and Gentlemen Of the General
Assembly:
feel that should be wanting in my duty to
the people OF Arkansas i'll did not again call
your attention to the necessity OF protecting tax
payers OF the state against the stolen evidences
OF debt which are missing from the treasury,
and are lying around here waiting to be snenked
In and redeemed.
There are, interest and all, nearly q quarter
OF million Of stolen scrips and coupons, and
bonds, which we know TO be missing, but the
books of the auditor and treasurer are in such q
condition that II is impossible to tell how much
more.
Twice in the past few months an attempt has
been made to have some OF this scrip and cou-
pons redeemed, and but for the watehfuluess Of
the treasurer the attempt would have succeed
ed.
The bill passed by the senate, to have the
treasurer call In these evidences Of debt to be
examined registered and stamped, and making
It felony for the treasurer to pay any but such
MS are so stamped and registered thereafter,
seems to me to be the only way in which the
emergency can be met. have no disposition,
however, to dictate any specific plan but do
have a disposition to insist that some steps
should be taken before your session closes to
protect our tax payers against these great
frauds. Respectfully,
w. NJ FIsHRAcK, Governor,
