LABOR'S LIMIT In STRIKES.
Judges Taft and Ricks ON the
Ann Arb0r Cases.
Engineers May Strike but Must
Not Desert a Train.


Kicks in the United States Circuit Court.
in Toledo, Ohio, it is held that the United
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers were
conspirators in their refusal to handle Ann
Arbor freight Judge Taft decides that
the whole Brotherhood is a conspiracy
against the law of the country, and that, in
asmuch as Arthur gave the orders that pre-.
cipitated the boycott, ar order for tempo
rary injunction against Arthur as prayed
for should be allowed.
The court room was crowded. Judge
RickSs decision in the cases of the eight en-
gineers and fremen arranged for contempt
of court was first delivered amid breathless
attention It was not as radical as the men
feared, and does not assume to compel men
to work against their will.
The second decision which was written by
Judge Taft, grants the injunction prayed
for, and declares that if the members of the
Brotherhood, in obedience to rule IL boy
colt freight, they become guilty of Grim
ipal conspiracy against their country
This decision is regarded by all leaders of
organized Labor as the most important ever
rendered. They say that if sustained it will
this as q crisis involving the existence of La
Dor organizations.
The substance of the decision of Judge
Taft in the injunction case is as follows:
A temporary restraining order was issued
by me against Arthur. Al hearing has since
been had, and the question now IS whether
on the evidence produced the order shall be
continued in force until the final decision in
the case.
The original bill was filed against eight
railway companies. An amendment was
afterward filed making two new defendants
p. M. Arthur and f. P. Sargent. Sargent
was subsequently discharged as he was
q nonresident OF the district. As to
Arthur. the amendment charges that he.

In all matters, and that one Of its rules
requires all of its members in the en-
pIoy Of any railway company whenever an
order to that effect shall be given By its
said chief officer, to refuse to receive. ham

railway company whose employees are mem

has been declared against the complainant

that Arthur now publicly announces
that unless complainant shall submit to the
demands of It's striking employees. he will

the rule Is in direct contrayention of the In
terstate Commerce law. and is intended to
induce the employees of the different com

Taxpayers, examine your tax

few weeks or so when they struck A hard clayey substance that contained A lsrvs amount of rock of q crystAllizea form. A foot below this 6 stratum of hard red rock was found. These circumstances attracted no attention until about 6 week SEQ, when one of the lAborers who hsd worked in the mines, noticing the weight of the sub stance, examined 1t closely, and immediate ly recognized 1t as cinnsbsr. He straight way made his discovery known 10 Mo Hugh, who in turn notified Mccarthy. The latter took several pieces of the ore to 6 mining expert and had them tested. The result was SO fattering that he immediate ly decided to forego his determination to erect the row of flats. Several experts have valued the ore so far mined st from $4o0 to $500 ton.
 Since the discovery of the deposits has been made known hundreds of curious visitors have visited the vicinity, among them many old and experienced quicksilvsr miners, who all agree that the find is an exceptionally rich one. F. F. Hook, who for many years has been experimenting mines throughout this state, Arizona and New Mexico, said that the specimens sub mitted to him were the richest he hsd ever seen.
 Mccarthy is bi.4nming over with good nature and humor on account of the streak of luck in which he Is apparently playing. He has been approached by scores of con hdence men, who are endesvoring to have him form stock companies to work the mine, but to all he has turned & deaf ear. He has sufficient money himself to work it for all 1t Is worth, and he Is willing to run any and all risks that may be incurred.

THE MAGIC CAT.

It may interest those who read about the mysterious black and midnight cat that selected this lucky office for its home few weeks ago to know that she is now five cats, having mysteriously evolved four more cats of small size but perfect shape. This performance was not necessary to prove that she Is a wonder, but she is prodigal of her powers, and probably threw this feat In just to indicate what she could do If she took @ notion. No body in this effics would be surprised to see her turn into beautiful Egyptian princess instead of into five cats. There Is good reason to believe that she is enchanted as well as enchanting, and when the right person comes along and lays the magic wand upon her she will probably at once take her proper shape and leave for her fathers palace, from which she has perhaps been driven by some mslevolent magician. In the meantime she is doing good work by inspiring ten der and generous sentiments in all who know her and take pleasure in providing for her material wants. If she is a wizard che Is wizard of a most kindly and st- trsctive nature, and If she is au enchanted princess we feel sorry for those who have lost her beauty and her worth. A better cat, wizard, or enchanted princess never walked
