"BEHoLD. THE DAYLIGHT CoMBTk.

Judge Roas has struck the keynote to
the solution of the situation. In plac-
ing the officers OF the railroads under
exactly the came inhibitions and obligs-
tions as the men, there seems to be clear
way out Of the difficulties. The men are
enjoined against in any way interfering
with the movement OF trains, and the
companies are required to perform the
service OF carrying the mails and moving
freight as the interstate commerce law
directs them to do. If they cannot move
passenger trains with Pullman cars they
must move them without Pullman cars.
But in any event the trains must be
moved.
This is placing the two contending
forces exactly on the same footing as far
