ANN ARBOR CASES.
IMPORTANT DECISIONS REM
DERED AT TOLEDO.

Engineer Lennon Eeound Guilty of
Contempt OF Court for Refusing to
Handle Ann Arhor Cars = The
Brotherhood OF Enaineers Held to
BE Conspiracy.
TOLEDO, o., April a.--Judge Kicks,
in the United States circuit court,
rendered his decision in the case of the
Lake Shore engineers, who, Vbeying the
laws of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers, refused to handle Ann Arbor
freight, as there was strike on that
road. The court held that Engineer
James Lennon, inasmuch as he has been
twice ordered to mova the cars by the
officials of the compony, and did not do
so until ordered to do 50 by the Brother
hood officers, after the boycott was
raised, was guilty of contempt of court.
The seven other men were discharged.
Must Complete His Run.
The decision is in line with the in
formal talk he gave THESE men on the
afternoon Of their arrest, but which
was misconshued widely into a
declaration that anan can be
compelled to work though he de-
sires to quit his employers service.
The decision, briefly. is that man
may quit work when he shall choose, if
he quits in good faith, but an engineer
out on run must complete his run be-
fore quitting.
Judge Ricks read Judge Taft's deci-
sion in the Ann Arbor injunction case,
in which Chief Arthur Of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers, is made
a partr. He decided that the whole
Brotherhood was a conspiracy against
the laws of the country and that mas
much as Arthur gave the orders that
preciptated the boycott, an order for
temporary injunction against Arthur as
prayed for was allowed.

WASHINGTON. March 31.-Mr. Cleve-
land gave out some bad news for con-
gressmen and their favorite constituents,
if report be true. A member of the
house is authority for the statement
that the president will not allow con-
gressional delegations to apportion the
federal offices in their respective states.
The congressman who is authority for
the rel ort that the states will not stand
in their entirety, asked Mr.. Cleveland
what he prol osed to do with reference
to those prepared states.
Il viii Smash Them"
is the answer attributed to the presi-
dent. A strong pressure is being
brought to bear on Mr.. Cleveland to
have him select a commissioner of PEN
sions from a state east of the Allie
ghenies. Mr.. Cleveland has given no
sign as to his select on. if he has made
any, but he has intimated that the new
commissioner will be a young man of
known ability, not too closely allied to
presidential politics.
