PHELAN FOUND GUILTY.
Judge Taft Says the boycott Has No
warrant in Law.

Judge Taft says the boycott Has No
Warrant in Law.
CiNcINNATI. o., July lS.-Judgs Tai
of the United States circuit court de-
livsred his deoision today in the case o.
f. W. Phelan, charged with contempt o.
this court of impeding and obstructing
the receiver OF the Cincinnati Southern
road, appointed by this court, in the
management and operation OF his road,
by directing and inctng the employees
to leave his employ, and by interterrlng
with the business OF other roads with
which the Southern road has business.
The court room was crowded and large
mum bers were in the corridors. Many
deputy marshals ere in and about the
court room, but their presence was not
needed, as the utmost decorum was OBJ
served. The judge reviewed at great
length the testimony which, he de-
clsred, showed unmistakably that Phe-
Ian came here as the agent aud CO.
worker with Debs, to institute and di-
rect boycott, in order to compel the
Pullman Car company to treat with 1ts
employees, who, it appears, are not
eligible to mem bership in the American
Railway union.
Phelan's denial of personal agency
had no weight with the court, owing to
the evasive and fippant nature OF his
testimony, and in the face OF telegrams
passed between him and DsbH, as well
as his public utterances. lie knew the
Cincinnsti Southern road WAS in the
hands OF receiver and yet his first
efforts were directed against it. The
court found that he was the active agent
here of an unlawful conspiracy with
Debs and others to paralyEe the business
of the United States, or in other words
to starve the nation in order to force
employers into terms.
Applying the law to the facts. the
court held that to undertake to force a
breach of contract was an unlawful con-
spiracy. Moreover the whole plan was
boycott, which has been declared by
all the states, except Minnesota, to be
unlawful.
The court plainly recognized the
right OF laborers to unite and even to
combine their unions and appoint lead
ers for the purpose OF obtaining better
price for their labor They were war
ranted 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 een-
tence, that it was the duty of the court
to enforce obedience to its orders. To
do otherwise would court anarchy. The
penalty for contempt after warning
should be sufficient to enforce compli-
erce with the orders of the court.
The sentence was confinement for six
months in the Warren county Jail at
Lebanon, Ohio, and the marshal was
directed to Immediately execute the or
der OF the court.

CHICAGO, July 13.-Judge Grosscup
announced this morning that he would
give the federal grind jury supple
mental instructions today directing an
investigation of the railway managers.
After hearing a statement from the
foreman the Jurors decided to adjourn
until Tuesday, in order to return to their
homes for Sunday, and giving his con-
sent, the court said:
SIT ia my duty to give you further in
structions. No man is above the law.
The line OF criminaity ia not drawn be-
tween claeses, but between those who
violate the law and those who do not.
The fact that man occupies q lower
position does not preclude him from
making known his grievances. Your
door ought to be open to all who may
come with evidence that is tangible and
not based upon mere heresay. 1t is
stated in the public prints that some of
our fellow citizens believed that the in
reference with the mails and interstate
commerce was the result Of conspiracy
among men higher in the roads than
employees.
"1f two or more men wrongfully
agreed, either for the purpose of Great
ing public sympathy Or for any other
purpose, to have the mails or interstate
commerce stopped, they are guilty OF
conspiracy. II two or more men agreed
wrongfully among themselves for the
purpose of creating public sympathy, to
dieonarge men, intending that their dis
charge would stop the passage of the
mails or interstate commerce, they are
guilty OF conspiracy. If two or more
men wrcngfully agreed not to employ
men to take the places of men who had
quit work, and allowed the trains to
stand still in order to create public sym
pathy, they would be guilty of conspir-
acy unlsss the circumstances were
such that the employment of new men
would lead to danger to thoHe men or to
the public interests. Every man ia en-
titled to bring his complaint in if he
brings it with tangible evidence. 1t is
the duty, as we'll az the pleasure, OF the
district attorney to eubmit such evil
dence if it is presented, and it 10 your
duty to hear it,"
1t is probable that the grand jury will
send for the kilograms sent and received
by the managers during the strike, as
was done with the kilograms of Debs
and the other leaders of the strike.
The grand jury adjourned until Tues
day morning, and the investigation of
the roads may not begin until next
week.

DEBs' PROPORTION.

| An Offer to Settle tho Strike on Fail
and Reasonable Terms.
CHICAGO, July 13-Following is the
text OF the proposition made by Deba tc
the railway managers:
CHICAGO, July -.
To the Railway Managers:
GENTLEMEN The existing troubles
through the Pullman strike having
assumed continental proportions, and
there being no indication OF relief from
the widespread business decentralization
and distress incident thereto, the rail-
way employees, through the board of di.
rectors of the American Railway union,
respectfully make the following PROPOSE
ton as a basis of settlement:
They agree to return to work in body
at once, provided they will be restored
to their former positions, without preju-
dice, except in cases, ii any there be,
where they have been convicted of
crime.
This is a proposition looking to an
immediate settlement OF the existing
strike on all lines of railways, Inspired
by purpose to subserve the public
good. The strike, small and compare
lively unimportant in its conception,
has extended in every direction until it
now involves or threatens not ocly every
public interest, but the peace, security
and prosperity OF our common cause.
The contest has waged fercely. 1t has
extended far beyond the limits OF the
interests originally involved, and has
laid off vast number of industries and
enterprises in no wise responsible for
the differences and disagreements that
led to the trouble. Factory, mill, mine
and shop have been silenced. Wide
spread demoralization has sway. The
interests of multiplied thousands of in
nocent people are suffering. The COM
mon welfare is seriously menaced. The
public peace and tranquility are imper-
led. Grave apprehension for the fu-
ture prevails.
This being true-and the statement
will not be controverted-we conceive ii
to be our duty, as citizens and as men,
to make extraordinary efforts to end the
existing strike and avert approaching
calamitiee whose nhadows are even now
upon ue.
If ended now, the contest however se.
rious in its consequences, will not have
been in vain. Sacrifices have been made,
but they will have their compelsations.
Indeed, if Lessons shall be taught by ex-
perience, the troubles now so widely de-
plared will prove blessing of inesti-
mable value in the months and years to
come.
The differences that led up to the
present complications need not be dis
cussed. At this supreme juncture every
confederation of duty and patriotism de-
mands that a remedy for existing
troubles be found and applied. The
employees propose to do their part by
meeting their employers half way. Let
it be stated that they do not impose any
condition Of settlement, except that they
return to their former positions. They
do not ask the recognition of their or.
ganizstion or of any organization.
/ Believing this proposition to be fair,
reasonable and just, it is respectfully
submitted with the belief that its &C.
ceptance will result in the prompt re-.
sumption of traffic, the revival OF indus
try and the restoration OF peace ant
order.
