What Solicitor Thurston Thinks of
Judge Caldwell's Decision.
CHICAGO, April 8.-John NJ. Thurston
of Omaha arrived in this city to-day from
st. Paul. Mr.. Thurston said the de-
cision of Judge Caldwell in the Union
Pacific case has relieved the receivers of
the responsibility of cutting down the
wages of the thousands of employees of
the road, but it had not settled the wage
question. Under the decision of Judge
CALDWELL" said Mr.. Thurston, ''the re-
ceivers have no power to reduce the
wages of the employees who were only in
volved in the proceedings in court. 1t
includes the engineers and tiremen and
all the trainmen. The other employees,
shopmen, clerks and all those holding
salaried positions had their pay reduced
last September, when a cut from 10 to 20
per cent. was made. The employees have
now come into court ana have petitloned
for restoration of their old salaries.
Judge Caldwell held that the per cent.
schedules under which the trainnlen
work are just and proper and should not
be reduced by the receivers. The other
employees now say if the trainmen's
schedules are right the reduction of
their wages was wrong, and their posi-
tion seems to be logical and unassailable.
The rate of wages paid on the Union
Pacific is higher than is paid on other
roads, and the receivers deemed the re-
duction necessary and not unjust, con-
sidering the situation in which the road
is placed"
