A COLOSSAL BOYCOTT ON.


Jurisdiction Of the United States courts. lie
says the employees may quit work whenever
they choose but that no interference with the
property Of the road or ITS operation by the re-
ca,vers will be tolerated The men must per-
form their duties as employees or be discharged
at once. They cannot enforce their boycott by
interfering with the operation of the road ana
env attempt to do so will be in direct contempt
Of the authority Of the court and must inevitably
result d.sastrously to the men. In conclusion
tbe Judge saws that on the first violation OF these
rules he will proceed at once TO Topeka anu ue"'
with the matter on TIE lines Indicated.

vranhed from San Francisco that the boycott
would be declared off because the southern "a,
c,dc had notified TO him that unless ne sctieu

ployes has become a subsidiary feature II mas
now become a question as 10 whether tne ran
roads of this country operate their own
oroperties or not The railway companies care
nothing about the alleged grievances ol me
Pullman shop employees. Their own lnuepe"u
ence of action Is now at stake and they feel that
the question may as well be settled now as AT
some later time. This is the general disposition
as I understand Il. The Pullman Company IS
not embarrassed in any way. Our men are re-
turning at ST. Louis AMI Ludlow. ana thlnk
