a DECISION ON THE STRIKE.
Judge Taft Concludes the Trial of PheIan
mt Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, July 14.-Judge W. II. Taft,
of the United States circuit court, deliv-
cred his decision in the case of l.. w.
Phelan, charged with contempt of court
''in impeding and obstructing the receiver
OF the Cincinnati Southern road in the
management and operation of his road by
directing and melting the employees to
leave his employ and by interfering with
the business of other roads with which
the Southern road has business" The
judge reviewed at great length the testi-
mony, which he declared showed unmis-
takably that PheAn came here as the
agent and co-worker with Debs to iusti-
tute and direct boycott determined on
by the convention of the American Rail-
way Union to force The railroads to break
their contracts with the Pullman COM
pany. in order to compel the latter COM
pany to treat with its employees.
Phelan's denial of personal agency had
no weight with the court owing to the
evasive and tlippant character of his testi-
mony and i'll the face of the kilograms
passing between him and Debs, as well as
his public utterances. The court found
that he was the active agent here in an
unlawful conspiracy with Debs and others
to paralyZe the business of the United
states; or IN other words to starve the ma
ton in order to force an employer into
terms. Applying the law to the facts the
court held that to undertake to force a
break of contracts was an unlawful con-
spiracy. Moreover, the whole plan was a
boycott, which has been declared by all
the states except Minnesota to be unlaw-
full.
The court plainly recognized the right
OF laborers to unite and even to combine
their unions and appoint leaders for the
purpose of obtaining better price for
their labor. They were warranted in
striking-that is, leaving their employers
in body to better their own interests, but
there was no warrant in law for boycott.
The judge having found Phelan guilty as
charged, said in reference to the sentence
that it was the duty of the court to en-
force obedience to its orders. He there
fore sent enced Phelan to six months in

visitor, Mayor Harrison arose as soon AS

wished to see him. The mayor walked
from the dining room into the hall, which
is broad and spacious. Several lights
made the main hall as light as day.
Scarcely had the mayor taken three or
four steps down the hall toward the door
before his assassin drew forth revolver,
which he carried concealed beneath his
coat.
LevelinS the weapon straight at the
heart OF his victim, Preudergast began to
pail the trigger. Three shots the muir
derer fired at Mayor Harrison. The
mayor dropped at the first report of the
pistol with the blood flowing from a NOR

sin was not satisfied 70 see bis victim w.

might not prove fatal the cowardly MUIR

two more bullets into the apparently
lifeless body of the mayor Then Prem
dergast went at once to the Desplaines
street police station, told what he had
done, and was locked up. Everything was
done for the mayor but he died within an
hour.

Address to the Pubic Giving the Reasons
for This Determination.
The conference of the American Fedora
ton of Labor adjourned last evening after
having decided against n general strike.
The action of President Debs and the
American Railway Union was endorsed,
however, and 81 go voted to aid Debs in
his forthcoming trial.
An address to the public was issued
stating that the situation was carefully
and calmly considered, and "in the light
Of all the evidence obtainable, and in view
of the peculiar complications we are forced
to the conclusion that the best interests of
the unions affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor demand that they re-
frain from participating in any strike
which may be proposed i'll connection with
present troubles.
I'VE do not wish it understood that wa
are in any way antagonistic to the labor
organizations now struggling for JUS
tice, but rather to point to the fact that
the present contest has become surround
ed with complications so grave in nature
that We cannot consistently advise u
course which would but add to the gen.
eral confusion. The public press, with
few exceptions, has SO maliciously mis-
represented matters that in the public
mind the working classes are now arrayed
in open hostility to the federal authority.
This is a position in which we do not wish
TO be placedn nor will we occupy it with
out protest.

Third United States marine corps, under
Lieutenant Draper, to start from the depot
with fixed bayonets. They divided into

United States Marshal Baldwin was in

called upon the people in the name of the

few obeyed, but the majority remained on

were comparatively deserted and few
