ACTION AT MILWAUKEE.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 26.-The receivers
of the Northern Pacific, preparing for
strike of all their employees, applied
some time ago to Judge Jenkins, of the
United States court, for ali order re-
straining them from declaring an in
Simultaneous strike and doing any dam
age to the property. and interfering
with the operation Of the road. The re-
ceiyers had ordered a general reduction
in wages from 10 per cent. The
employees objected. Negotiations be-
tween representatives of the employees
and the receivers were in progress tor
thee weeks. Today the negotiations
were broken off, and the strike being
imminent the receivers have decided to
make use of the injunction issued by
Judge Jenkins. which, they hope. will
enable them to operate the road i'm
mediately with new men. The legal
document now in the hands of the re-
celyerS comprises nearly 10000 words.
The injunctional order will be served
tonight and tomorrow on all the leaders
of the Northern Pacific railroad en-
ployes by the United States marshals of
the districts through which the North
ern Pacific passes.
Inc order OF the court restraining the
Northern Pacific employees from com
bining and conspiriug to quit the service
OF the road is an extraordinary docu-
ment. 1t is the first order of the kind,
1t is said, ever issued in the United
States. A somewhat similar Injunction
was issued by United States court in
Michigan, during the strike of the
Toledo d Aim Arbor employees, but
that injunction was issued after the
strike was in progress. The grounds
for the issuance of the present injunc-
ton are set forth in a long petition of
the receivers, which was filed Dec.
Is. 1t appears from the petition that
two days after their appointment
Aug. ~ the receivers, finding the
affairs Of the road in a deplorable con-
ditlon, ordered reduction of
salaries varying from 10 to 20 per cent
OF all officials and employees whose pay
per annum exceeded $1,000. That re
duction went into effect at once, and
was cheerfully accepted. About week
aIterWaru (Aug. 25) the receivers or
dered reduction of per cent on all
wages running from $50 to S75, and of 10
per cent on wages averaging from SIS
TO 500 per month. This order of the
receivers did not go iuto effect at once.
They concluded to investigate and re-
wise the entire system of wages and the
different schedules Of pay, the task
being imposed OH the general manager.
AT meeting of the receivers on Oct. Is
resolutions were adopted abrogating
the old schedules of pay, directing tie
general manager to prepare a new
schedule for the engineers, trainmen
and telegraphers, and ordering a re-
duction eff the wages of the other men
as provided for Aug. %. The petition
says that in the old schedules the en-
ployes were paid for services not per-
formed.
