ern Pacific railroad and its employees,
including all the engineers, conductors,

SO on. The new schedule OF wages
adopted by the receivers, which implies
cut Of S to 10 per cent Ill the employees
pay, was rejected by the employees rep
resentatives at conference held in St
Paul with General Manager Kendrick
Monday, and the prospects are that on
January 1, when the new scedule is to
90 into effect. $500 men employed all
along the road will quit work.
Stole March.
The outcome of the controversy was
foreseen by the receivers, for as early
as Decem Der 10 they applied for ana
obtained from Judge Jenkins. of the
United States court of this city,. an
order authorizing and directing them
to put into operation the new
schedule of wages and restraining the
employees and their unions from
''com bining and conspiring to quit,
with or without notice, the service OF
the road, with the object of crippling
or embarrassing it's operation. and gem
orally frow interfering with the officers
and agents of the receivers or their
violence, intimidation. threats or
otherwise" "
The injunction was held back until
Tuesday, the receivers having ex-
pected to arrive at an anicable agree
1nent- When they found such an agree
ment impossible they telegraphed to
their agents and attorneys all along
the line to have the injunction served
by the United States marshals on the
proper men and to make the injunction
generally known.
An Extraordinary Document.
The order of the court restraining
the Northern Pacific employees from
combining and conspiring to quit the
service of the road is an extraordinary
document. 1T is the first order of its
kind, it is said, ever issued in the United
States. A somewhat similar injunction
was issued by a United States court in
Michigan during the strike Of the To-
ledo s. Ann Arbor employees, but that
injunction was issued after the strike
was in progress. The grounds for the
issuance OF the present injunction are
set forth in long petition of the re-
ceivers, which was filed Decernbe Is.
A F.r-Keacl,ing injunction.
In enumerating those who are en-
Joined from striking or ordering strikes
the petition of the receivers mentions
the names Of thirty-two men who have
been the conference committee with
the receivers, and asks that they be en-
joined from ordering. a strike, which
the court grants. The petitioners say
that the employees cannot carry
on a. strike without the pc
cuniary assistance of the different ma
tionai organizations to which they be-
long. They therefore pray that these
organizations, through their chief of
icers. such as P. M. Arthur, e. c. Clark,
E. p. Sargent, d. &. Ramsey, s. E.
Wilkinson and others, he enjoined from
ordering and sanctioning the strike.
The court grants this and these men
are included in the injunction.
Restraining Order Issued Mt st. Paul.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec 27:--Late Tues
day afternoon, in the United States cir
cult court, Judge Caldwell issued an
order to all conductors, trainmen.
firenen, engineers and other en-
ployes of the Northern Pacific
railway, restraining them from
interference with the running Of
trains, the destroying Of railway
property or delaying the transmission
OF the mails. They are directed not to
interfere by violence or intimidation,
but to leave Receivers Rouse, Cakes
and Payne in untrammeled possession
of the property. The order is directed
to the marshal Of Minnesota, who at
once began serving the order upon such
employees of the road as 1t affects.
1t is believed no strike will be or
dered in the face Of the order Of Judge
Caldwell. A similar order was issued
in North Dakota, and others will be
issued in Montana. Idaho. Washington
and Oregon before the opening OF the
new year.
