The attorney for the District today sub
mitted an important opinion relative to the

The scheme Of the club is to appropriate a

Senator Morgan today submitted to the

gested changes by which a minority report
by them might be avoided. and the matter

CAPITOL TOPICS.
River and HarbOr Bill,

The first total on the forthcoming river
ana harbor bill has been struck. showing
an aggregate for the waterways of the
country Of $7.3OO.OOO. This is the first bal
ance and Is subject to considerable change
but II shows the extent of the allowances
after the committee has trimmed the es-
Inmates and heard interested Congress
men and waterway delegations. 1t is esti-
mated by members of the committee that
the present total will be increased so as
to reach a shade above nine millions. Even
with this raise the bill will be S12, ,OOO. 600
less than that of last year. This is in part
offset by certain permanent appropriations
for waterways covered by the sundry civil
BILL aggregating SS.50UOOO. Even with this
the items for waterways will be about
S.50OOO0 less than last year, and the river
and harbor bill proper will be less than
half of last year.
Will Make the Vote Public.
After the vote by which Mr.. Peckham was
rejected was announced yesterday Senator
Villas of Wisconsin moved that the vote be
made public. This was objected to. The
Wisconsin Senator then moved that the vote
by which Mr.. Hornblower was rejected also
be made public and objection was made to
this.
Objections of this sort, under the rules of
executive sessions, carry the matter over
two legislative days. and it is probable that
Mr.. Villas cannot secure action on his mo-
tions until Tuesday, when it is expected
that both votes will be made public.

MAY BE MODIFIED.
Court Order Northern Pacific
Employees Do Not Like.


Made by Counsel for the Iseccivers--spooner
Says the jenkins Order Is sIisconstrued
and That Opportunity for NIisconstruc-
tion Should Be Removctl-A Legal Def
milton of the Word ''strike"-Argumcnt
Made by Spence for the Employees.
MILWAUKEE, March 5.-The arguments
on the motion to modify the Northern Pa
eific injunctional order case are concluded
and Judge Jenkins has taken the matter un-
der advisement. John C. Spooner, for the re-
ceivers, and L. w. Spence, for the labor
organizations, occupied an entire after
noon with their arguments. The impor
tant feature of the proceedings WAS the
admission made by Spooner that the in
functional writ ought to be modified.
SpOoner said: $50 far as this order re-
strains men from comforting with the en-
ployes or advising, recommending or sane
tioning their quitting the service Of the
receivers it is perhaps too broad, as your
honor has suggested, and is liable to be
misconstrued. In this particular, perhaps,
1t ought to be modifed."'
A Modification Looked for.
It is expected that Judge jenkins will
modify his order because Of this likelihood
Of misconstruction. 1t was never intend-
cd, both Attorneys Mcknight and Spooner
said in their arguments, to prevent the
employees of the Northern Pacific COM
pany from quitting, as is generally report
ed, but was intended, they said, to pre-
vent a conspiracy cripriing the property
of the road Speaking of the rights of the
court to issue the orders Mcknight gave
an exhaustive resume of The Judge Pardee
decision and took up the ruling CT Judge
Dundy. Here, he said, WAS another in
stance where the course Of Judge jenkins
was upheld.
"But he trmbled all over himself to take
it all back" remarked Harper, Of the oppo-
sition counsel.
Definition OF the Word 'S.rii,e."
Referring to the meaning of the word
''strike," Mcknight said that the oppos-
ing attorneys were wrong. His definition,
and the one that shouE to rightly applied
to the case. was given by Anderson and
recognized by the&supreme court of ap-
peals of New Yo<k, ast follows: "A strike
is combination hnno1t laborers, or those
employed by others& to compe, an in
crease in wages, . change in the hours of
labor, change in the ifnanner of conduct
ing the business of the property, or to
enforce some particular policy in the char
lsctcr or n-raber of-rsp employed, or the
like"
Would Consent til Modification.
Judge jenkins wan4ed to know if the
language Of the restraik ng order could be
SO construed As to prevent the chiefs from
| advising the men to ie,ve the service our
city and peaceably. NcNaught replied
that it was not so intended, but he wanted
the men to act as they wanted to in the
matter without the advice of any one. II
the terms of the prescott writs We're toe
comprehensive he was willing that modi
1 ilcatlon be granted.

ASIO THE RIGHT TO QUIT.
Sp0oner Asserts That 1t Is Limited b
the Equities of the Case.

SpOoncr Asserts That 1t Is Limited by
the Equities of the Case.
Ex-senator Spooner. of counsel for the
receivers, followed Mcknight. In opening
he said he agreed with McNau ght that it
there was anything in the injunctional Or
der which WAS susceptible of misconstruc-
tion or invaded anybody's rights the court
would strike it out. No document is to be
construed unless by reading it all. and it
is unfair to ask FOR cen 'truction on an
isolated sentence. lie asserted that no
where in the writ is there anything which
prevents the men from quitting the service
of the company. The right to quit has its
Limitations which are recognized the world
over. L. has limitations which arise out of
the equities o. the case.
Trainmen cannot abandon n train or
leave ii in danger or where it will endanger
the lives of others. Continuing, Spooner
said: Your honor did not state it too
broadly when you said every one of them
could quit and go to Texas. You might
have added or stay where you are" The
injunction, Spooner maintained, merely
restrained a conspiracy for the purpose Of
crippling the property of the road, and no
men or set Of men not engaged in such a
conspiracy fall within tte meaning Of the
| injunction.
THE idea that cortsof equity las not
the power to restrain conspiracy to Grip
pie the property in the hhnds of the court
is startling. 1t is also Strange to say that
there IS no difference h&tween men quit
ting and strike. In this case it would
mean u cessation of work on the part of
12,0Oo employees for thei purpose of Grip
ping the property and forcing acquies-
cence to the demands fdg modification Of
the schedules and rules Approved by the
court without any appealto the COURT
| NV. Spence, for the petitioner, ,discoursed
of the meaning of ''conspirac," saying
that its essential element was criminal in
tent The petition on which the injunc-
tion was granted did not show that the
men had any criminel intent in leavin &
the road. Ii the men lefe the road it was
only because of reduction in wages. lie
maintained that the men had as much
right to eonspire as the stockholders of the
Northern Pacific had. What they wauted
to know was whether the men had right
to str ike on the legitimate liues of what
they considered a strike.
spence saic the men were as much op'
posed to violence as were the receivers
They wanted to settle their differences by
arbitration. ''They do not do, continued
lSpence as the receivers have done-locL
themselves in a room, adopt a schedule
present 1t to your honor for approval anC
then come to the Wcn, shove it in theil
faces and say: Now, you have to TAXI
your medicine" Spence said the contrac
relations between the receivers and ths
men were destroyed whom they changet
the schedule.
Continuing, Spence said that it had no
been shown that the injunction was in ON

MILWAUKEE, March 5.-Generai James
Mcknight of New York occupied the at
tention Of Judge Jenkins cour: IN behalf
of the receivers. He held that all strikes
were illegal and that the wit o. man could
not devise legal strike. He argued that
the consequences Of a strike must be
taken into consideration in determining
when or not set Of men had lawful
privilege to strike; and inasmuch as the
majority Of the strikes have been accom-.
panied by lawlessness and destruction Of
property, he argued that the court had q
perfect right to protect the Northern Pa.
cific property as it did.
