CONTEMPT OF COURT.
The men who wish to continue in the
service of the court must discharge all
the duties appropriately and properly
belonging to the Service. A refusal to
perform any part of these duties will
compel their discharge and the employ
lnent of other men to take their places.

cannot believe the boycott order
was intended to be put in operation on
roads in the custody of United States
courts and operated by receivers ap-
pointed by those courts; but if such is
the case, the authors of the boycott
order and the men to whom it is ad-
dressed must understand that the
court will not tolerate any inter-
ference with the operation of
the road by the receivers from
any end. The men must understand
that they cannot remain in the service
of the receivers and refuse to perform
any duty pertaining to that service.
They must make their election whether
they will take their orders as to the cars

obey the orders of the former they may
do SO. but in that event they must un-
derstand distinctly that they are no

will be employed to take their places
permanentlF, who win be guarded and
protected in the discharge of their
duties. When the situation of your
road, and the law applicable to the case.
is understood, | do not believe there
will be any attempt to put the boy
cOtt order in force upon it Any
effort to do so will be indirect contempt
of the authority of the court, and must
inevitably result diSaStrously to the
men. As soon as l learn that it is ttie
deliberate purpose of those ordering
the boycott to attempt to enforce it
against the authority of the court l will
proceed to Topeka and deal with the
matter on the lines indicated in this
dispatch. HENRY G. CALDWELL.
