DIRECTORS IN COURT.
Answers Filed in Contempt Proceed.
ings Against the A. r. U.

Chicago. Aug. 19.-James Hogan, w. +.
Burns, r. M Goodman, J. F. McVean
and Martin B. Elliott, the directors of
the American Railway Union, fled an an
swer in the United States circuit court
yesterday to the information against
them charging contempt of court. In ad-
dition TO the general answer TO the IN
formation they also filed an answer to the
lnterrogatOries of the government regard
ing the conduct of the strike.
The answer to the information denies
that the directors have any
power to order a strike or compel
its dlScontinuance. The defendants ad-
nit that al various times during the
month of June and before the injunction
was issued they advised certain of the
employees of the railroads TO quietly and
peaceably and lawfully quit the service
OF the roads, but all the men so advised
were members of the union, and in such
advice and counsel they acted for said
employees and by their authority. The
answer denies there was an Illegal con-
spiracy to tie up the railroads, but il al
leRes that there was conspiracy on the
part OF the railroad companies to reduce
the wages of their employees and to break
up the American Railway Union.
As TO the kilograms sent out in the
name Of Debs, tor which Debs, when
brought into court, denied all responsible
ity, the answer admits that they were
sent by the defendant, Hogan In the
answers to the interroRatories the de-
PENDANTS say that Hogan sent and re-
ceived all the kilograms except those re-
lating to the finances of the union. AS to

Mr. Wilkinson said after the conference
that many of the men were out of posi-

re-admission 10 the brother hoods, con-
Tossing that they had been swept away
by the announcement attending the
strike and profuse promises of the leaders

now had no Jobs, and the American Rail-

give them support.

renewal of the charters OF all of them.
We agreed TO take the men back and will
do all in our power to have the roads lift
the boycott against them, for we are as
sured that the men will not again desert
their lodges under similar circum-
stances"
The Order of Railway Telegraphers, ~
said Mr.. Powell, was fortunate in the
detection Of but few of its members. We
lost but two lodges, one at Helena and the
other at Ripon"
The officials of the order left Chicago

Baltimore, Md, Aug 49, One hundred
members Of the army of the commonweal
were released from the house of cor
rection this morning. and were started
for Cincinnati, o., over the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad.
Gov. Brown had a conference with the
imprisoned Coxeyites a few days ago
and agreed to pardon them provided the
habeas corpus proceedings, which had
been instituted at Upper Mar boro, be
withdrawn. This provision was readily
accepted by the men, who also agreed to
leave the state If given their liberty
Late last night the governor went to
the house Of correction and selected
100 of those of the men who had given
western addresses. They were placed in
two coaches, which were brought to Bait
imore and attached to the Cincinnati ex-
press leaving here this morning The
men are in charge of a squad of Balti-
more and Ohio detectives, who will see to
it that they arrive at their destination
safely.
Since Camp Lost Liberty at Hyattsville
was raided and eighty-eighty members of
the army taken TO the house of correction,
many additional arrests have been made,
and the institution was becoming over
crowded. There are nearly 200 men re-
manning at the farm, who claim allegiance
TO Coxey's cause, and they will be sent
out of the state as fast as Gov. Brown
can make the necessary arrangements.
