RECEIVERS and TRA|NMEN
Important Case of Interest to Mem
bers Of Railroad Societies.
GENERAL OLNEY TAKES A HAND
lie Holds That as the Reading Road Is
Now in the Control Of the Court, Re.
ceivers lave no Right to Force
Hands to Quit Brotherhood.
BY the United Press.

By the United Press.
Philadelphia, Nov. s.
The fight which the Reading railroad
receivers have begun to force their
employees to renounce all allegiance to
the Brotherhood of Trainmen, or else re-
tire from their present employment, as
sumed national Importance and inter-
est today. The case came up under
argument before Judge Dallas in the
United States circuit court in this city,
upon the Brotherhoods appeal to the
court to prevent the receivers, as Off
GERS of the court, from driving the
trainmen out of their order or else out
of work.
In this connection a letter of advice
from United States Attorney General Oh
ney, taking sides with the men and
against the receivers, was presented
and was finally submitted by counsel
for the trainmen as a part of his argu-
ment In their behalf.
Upon this point Lawyer Samuel
Dickson, an attorney for the Reading
receivers attacked the attorney gem
eral severely for what he termed an un-
warranted and utterly unprecedented
outside interference with case on
argument and awaiting decision in a
court of justice.
Before permitting Attorney General
Olney's letter to be submitted even as
part of the argument of Lawyer Mon
tague, Of Washington, d. c., for the
| trainmen, Judge Dallas explained that
he had received, but had not yet read,
copy of the letter and would not do
| 50 until it should come before him as
part of the proceedings.
| Argument in the case was finished
today and Judge Dallas will render his
decision in a few days.
Mr.. Olney's Letter.
Mr.. Olney submits that the receivers
of the road are wrong in this policy.
He expresses a belief that Mr.. Harris
evidently forgets that the road is not
in control Of the company itself, but
in the hands of the court He put the
question as being: "Will the court now
lay down the rule that members of the
Brotherhood of Trainmen shall, because
they are such members, be discharged
from the service of the road"
He says it cannot be ruled that there
is no such thing as legal strike. He
reviewed the company's rule from the
standpoint of business eXpediency, upon
which the court would have to pass
This, he said, involved the right of labor
to organize for the settlement OF
differences.
Any action by the court, he said
might work mischief and unfair conf.
dence in the impartiality or capacity OF
the judiciary. He said that the mis-
chief apprehended was probably in the
future.
In summing up he said the rule is Of
doubtful value as strike preventative
and when the court is the employer, i
is positively injurious in engenderinG
disaffections.

He Advises the Democrats to Make All the

Power.
BY the United Press
Baltimore, Nd, Nov. S.-Ambassador
Thomas +. Bayard, speaking today
about Tuesdays election, said" l have
had grave apprehension as to the re-
suit of the recent elections for some
time. 1t was by no means an absolute
surprise to me-"
The ambassador said that he had no
idea that the change of power was
lasting or even meant to be lasting.
II do not want to run afoul of those
gentlemen who were responsible for
the delay in the passage of the tariff
bill, but, as I say, the path of duty is
unmistakable, and the necessity for
pure Democratic tariff legislation was
never 50 great as 1t is now. The bills
for free raw materials should be passed
Immediately, and then the country will
be able to contemplate the Democratic
idea of the tariff in full working order
for two years before another national
election rolls around. If this is done,
i have little fear that the verdict will
be satisfactory in 1885,

York early next Tuesday morning for

represent is the Indignation and disgust
of a great and resolute national being
half ruined by feebleness and incapac-
ity in high places"
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "Wil-
son. who fought for the poor man most
gallantly, has gone under in the gem
eral, undiscrlminating Indignation, but
the tariff stands where it did and Nc
Kinleyism is a forgotten superstition.
So, in certain way, we may assume
that the work is done. Senator Hill
was a Democrat, but President Cleve-
land is well quit of him. His defeat is
absolute. and let us hope that it is
permanent"

Rochester. Toronto and Paterson Desire
TO BE Represented.


Buffalo, n. Y, Nov. S.-President
Powers, of the Eastern league, was in
the city today, and, after a conference
with President Franklin, of the Buffalo
club, and two representatives of the
proposed new Rochester club, he left
for New York. 1t Is almost certain
that Rochester will be well represented
in the Eastern league next season, and
the two applications for franchise for
that city will undoubtedly be considered
at the annual meeting of the league.
Wednesday President Powers was in
Toronto feeling the Canadian base ball
pulse, and he found 1t beating very
strongly in favor of international
diamond struggles. In case franchise
iB available, the Toronto team will not
lose much time in seizing 1t.
Patterson, N. j., has applied for a
franchise in the Eastern league and
several other cities are knocking at the
door. An excellent circuit can be ar
ranged for 1895.

Washington, Nov. S.-Senator Faux

clined to the opinion that the Republi-
cans will be able to control the next SEN
ate if they get the vote of Mr.. PETER,
even without North Carolina or Ten

members in the senate, now represented
by one senator-Montana, Wyoming
and Washington. This brings the total
up TO forty-one. Add to these New
Jersey, West Virginia and Kansas, and
they have forty-tour. The single vote
of Mr.. PETER makes the total forty-flve,
majority of the whole senate, based
upon the full membership of eighty
eight votes.
Mr.. Peffer has generally affiliated
with the Republicans, and the Demo-
Gratis are probably not amiss in assum-
ing that he will vote with them on this

The students of Lafayette favored
such a game, but the faculty would not
permit it, President Warlleld explaining
that Thanksgiving Day, having been
set apart by the civil authorities as a
day for the public recognition of the
goodness of God to our country, and
having for many years been conse-
Grated to the purpose, and as q family
festival, 1t is highly improper that a
college founded for the education of
youth in the principles of good morals
should do anything to lower the ira
ditions or undermine the public regard
for such a day.
