The men in the employ of the receivers OF
the Atchison system must discharge all tnelr
usual and accustomed duties or quit the ser
vice of the receivers altogether and permit
other men to take their places who will DIS

with as a conte mpt of court. The men who
wish to continue in the service of the court
must dircharge all their duties appropriately
and properly refusal to perform any

charge and the employment of other men 10
take their places. All the powers ano au-

RECEIVERS appointed by those courts, but If

| order and the men 10 whom it is addressed
| must understand that the court will not toler-
/ ate any interference with the operation OF the
| road by its receivers from any cause whatever.
| The men must understand that they can re-

to perform any duty pertaining to that
duty. They must make their selection
whether they will take their order as to the
cars to be switched and handled from Presi-
dent Debs or the court. If they elect to
obey the orders of the formor they may dc
so, but in that event they must understand
distinctly that they are no longer IN the ser.
vice of the courts for any purpose and tha'
other men will be employed to take thell
places permanently who will be guarded
and protected in the discharge of their du
ties. When the situation of your road anc
the law applicable to this case Is under

upon it. Any attempt to do so will be IL

court and must inevitably result disastrous

All Liable for the Act of One.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 29.-Actmg
United States Attorney General Maxwell
has written decision at the request OF the
postmaster general bearing on the stopping
of mail trains by the A. r. L.
1t has been a mooted question whether
the removal of Pullman cars by strikers
could be regarded as interfering with mali
train.
MT. Maxwell's opinion includes this:
The statute also makes 1t an ottense LOT
any person to knowingly and wi.ltully OBJ
struct or retard the passage of the malis'
it has been decided by the courts, and In
nv opinion is clearly the law, that under
these provisions of the statute 1t is an o!-
tense for any person knowingly and WILL
| fully to obstruct or retard the passage OF
train carrying the mails and that II is o o
| excuse that such person is willing that the
mail car may be detached and run separately;
| He is bound to permit the mail to be carried
| in the usual ordinary way. Such is contem-
| Olated bv the act of congress and directed
| bv the postmaster general. 1t would seem
from your statement that persons who have
| entered into the com mbinatlon to which you
refer brought themselves within the further
provisions Of the statutes OF the Unlteo
States. which declare that If two or more
persons conspire to commit an oHense
| npainst the United States and one or more
| such parties do any act to effect the ooJect
of the conspiracy all parties to the consplr-
acy shall be liable to penalty OF not less
than 81. COO and not more than $4,000 and to
| imprisonment not more than two years.

When the through trains from Kansas City
and on the Baltimore & Ohio road arrived at
the Grand Central Station. Chicago the
switching crews refused to take them out of
The yards. The road crews of the trains also
refused to back their own trains out.
When the engineer of the Kansas City
train pulled into the depot he was asked to
take his train back to the yard by Superin-
tendent Kelly.
He refused, and both he and the fireman
left their cab. Superintendent Kelly then
boarded the engine and took the train down
to the yard himself
In every instance the trainmen refused to
do any switching as long as the Pullman
cars were attached to the train.
The situation for the Wisconsin Central,
which uses the Northern Pacific terminals
is serious. In the freight yards four long
lines of cars laden with perishable freight
are standing and cannot be moved. mum
Der of ice trains that daily come into Chi
cago over this route are also tied up and the
ice is melting rapidly. The only cars that
were moved during the day we're switched
| by the officials.
| Eight hundred employees of the Illinois
| Central in the Burnside shops joined the
strike. They walked out of the shop bodily
and took train for the city.

An Interview with a Judge.

TOPEKA. KAN, June 3O.-Judge c. G.
Foster, of the United States district court,
said in conversation:
These men who are assisting IN this boy
colt are doing more damage to their en-
ployers than they are to the Pullman COM
pany. The railroad company has con-
tract with Mr.. Pullman to haul his cars and
he can hold the company responsible II
they are not run and collect damages.
Il hope and believe, continued Judge .
Foster. that when these men understand
that they are making themselves liable Tor
contempt of the United States court, they
will desist and no more trouble will result.
IF they do not desist there will be force
of deputies summoned large enough to ar
rest them and bring them before the court
for contempt
"A great deal of talk has been INDUCED
in because Judge Caldwell said that labor
has the same rights as capital; every body
| admits that, and so long as the men keep
| within the purview of the law they are gran Z
| ed the same protection as the corporations.
What do you think about labor unions IN
| generalE'
The labor unions are all right and are
| conducive of much good 10 the men, but
| they must understand that they can not oy
force keep Others from gong TO work and
/ when they seize the property Of their EN-
| ployers they go beyond the bounds of reason
| and common sense.
"It ia true that in these strikes | naturally
| sympathize with the men in their cause, bu

"A Big Railroad Tied Up.

The threatened strike to enforce the boy
colt of the Pullman cars was lnaugurated
by an order to the Illinois Central men. The
switchmen were the first to obey and quietly
walked out. teng up the suburban as well
as express train service. The o'clock train
for ST. Louis was allowed to pull out, as 1t
was made up before the boycott went into
effect, but that train, the men asserted was
the last that would be allowed to leave Chi
capo until the Pullman strike is settled. The
union men were quiet and orderly, but ap-
parently determined to a man to maintain
the boycott. The strike, it was asserted by
an "A. r. U. man, will extend immedlately
to Ave other roads, the Chicago, St: Paul d
Kansas City, Wisconsin Central, Northern
Pacific, Southern Pacific and Santa Fe.
