TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

Look Like Coming TO a Decision ia the
Aun Arbor Trouble.
TEEEE IIAUTR, Ind, March 23.-At ma
tional headquarters of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen the news of the action
of the United States court in restraining
Grand Master Sargent, of that order, and
Chief Arthur, of the Engineers brother
hood, from ordering n boycott on roads
handling Ann Arbor freight and of the
suit for $500, 900 damages brought against
the two men, was accepted as notice that
two important questions never before Ge-
cided were to reach decision. The Ann
Arbor strike was an engineers strike ami
the boycott ordered off was a strike au-
thorized by the constitution of the enGin-
eers' brotherhood
Engineers Believe in the Boycott.
When the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy strike ended in failure the engin-
eers at their next convention amended
their constitution SO that engineers were
authorized to refuse to haul freight on
connecting road for road ON which there
was an engineers strike. The engineers
believe in the boycott and may as individ-
uals refuse TO obey the courts order. If
they do the strike will be illimitable. The
railway companies are eager to have the
question settled, as also the other question
as to whether labor organization can le-
gally infiict damage by an organized
strike.
Firemen Do Not Boycott.
Grand Master Sargent, of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen. said last
night that the order of Judge Rick, of
Toledo, in ordering the arrest of Lake
Shore engineers on charge of contempt
would not affect his organization, as they
had no such boycott rule as the engineers
adding he thought the Ann Arbor engin-
GERS had made mista ke Sargent said he
would reply to the damage suit against
himself and Chief Arthur as soon as he
was served with notice.

DISCUSSED AT NEW YORK.

The Ruling Looked Upon as u Serious
HzNs2' Thing for the Unions.
New YORK, March 20.-Such local lead
ers as were in town yesterday were hardly
ready to express any feeling but surprise
over Judge Rick's order to Chief Arthur to
annul the rule of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers which requires the mem
bers to refuse to handle the cars of boy
cotted roads. The arrest of five engineers
for quitting work rather than handle such
cars amazed them. But on reflection it
seemed to occur to most of them that the
result of regarding the railway business as
affected with public interest" was o step

Description of the eaton Gun Made for

the Worlds Fair
BALTIMORE, March 20.-Hundreds of
people yesterday vieited the steamer Lon
gueil to see the big Krupp gun which has
just arrived here and which is the largest
ever made 1t is a 124-ton cannon, built
expressly for the Worlds fair exhibit The
caliber of the gun is 1917 inches. The pro-
jectiles fired from it weigh 2,600 pounds
and are four feet long. About 100 pounds
of powder are used at single shot and the
projectile is hurled with such terrific force
that it VIII go through plate of steel

toward the complete state control OF rail-
roads, which most of them have been advo-
eating
Another Aspect of the matter,

toward the complete state control OF rail-
roads, which most of them have been advo-
eating.
Another Aspect of the matter.
The order was discussed at the fedora
tion of labor meeting in Clarendon hall
yesterday Most of those present who
were questioned thought that the arrest of
the railroad employees for quitting work
was the most serious aspect of the matter.
They expressed the belief that in the end
the brotherhoods of engineers and fremen
would win. The presumption, however,
that the federation would go back on
itself if it objected to the order because the
body favors state control of railways is
hardly justifiable; because under state con-
troll a congressman who should vote against
giving the strikers whatever they demand
ed would be taking his official life in his
hands. 1t is easy to the force of the
claim that under such control rulings like
Judge Ricks' would he very rare.
Direct Steps Toward Socialism.
"This is the most important decision in
its bearings on labor that we have had for
years" said Alexander Jonas, the founder
of the Socialist labor party. 1T is direct
step in the present ev olution toward state
socialism. II is an admission. it seems to
me, that railroads and all other natural
monopolies should be public property and
subject to public control" Others said
that if the ruling of the judge was sus-
tanned it would hasten forward indepen-
dent political action on the part of labor
unions.
Thinks the Decision Outrageous.
James p. Archibald, delegate for the Pa
per Hangers union to the Central Labor
union, said: Judge Kicks Interpretation
of the law is outrageous, and believe that
it will be overruled by the United States
supreme court. If, however, his ruling is
sustained the law under which it was made
will certainly be amended"
Chauncey NJ. Depew said: The decision
struck me as novel"
