POWDERLY ON RAILWAY STRIKES.
SCRANTON, Pa, March 20.-General
Master Workman Powderly was seen re-
garding the order of the federal court at
Toledo concerning the locomotive en-
gineers. Mr.. Powderly expressed himself
as follows:
''This order of the federal court is an
other object lesson for the people. 1t
teaches that if the federal government has
the right to step in on the side of capital. it
has also the right to interfere in behalf of
labor. 1t may be all right to say to the
workingman, You must not quitswork
except at stated times but, If SO, it is
fully as true that the same power can say
the employer, You shall not discharge
the employe except at stated times
'It is somewhat remarkable that a
judge should hold himself in readiness to
obey the command OF a railroad official
In the dispatches l see that Il. ID. Potter,
counsel for the Lake Shore road, wires
Judge Kicks to come at once and a Lake
Shore special train brought him from
Cleveland.
1T is gradually dawning upon the minds
of the people that the railroads are public
property Every disturbance in labor
circles calls for the interference OF the
courts. If the courts have the right to in
terfere when no violence Or wrong is done
other than TO stop work, it is because the
right of Tie government to control the
railroads is admitted. Ii the railroads are
not taken possession OF Oy the government
and decisions OF courts are aimed con-
stantly at the existence Of the labor or
ganiZations Of the present, we will soon
find ourselves living under the reign of a
secret Anarchist group, that will owe no
allegiance to any person or thing. Then
we Will witness secret assaults upon per-
sons and property, and matters will be far
worse than if they gave heed to the just
demands of the labor organizations of to-
day"
TOLEDO. O., March 20-The corridors of
the United States court room were throng-
ed this afternoon with railroad officials,
mem bers of the Brotherhood OF Locomo-
tive Engineers, and Ann Arbor strikers,
in anticipation of a hearing of the cases
against the Lake Shore employees who were
taken into custody on Saturday evening.
Judge Kicks, however. did not put in his
appearance. and the cases were continued
until tomorrow. Congressman Frank Hurd
and James H. Southland have been retain
ed to defend the accused, and bitter legal
strife Is looked for.
