WHOLE NO. 16,456:


quence, to the safety of the community
| to which they belong.
'sWith the merits of the controversy be-
| tween the railroad company and Its en-
| ployes you have nothing to do, except In
so far as the facts in relating thereto may
| furnish evidence as to the actual parties
/ engaged in the violating the laws of the
United States. The right of labor to or
ganize for its own benefit and protection
| is not questioned. 1t has the same right
in this respect as any other association,
| and perhaps in some respects its frse-
dom is probably greater. The laboring
man is entitled to the highest wages and
| the best conditions he can command, but
| he is not entitled to interfere with the
rights and property OF others, and Dy
force or unlawful means seize upongthe
| appliances OF organized Industry and set
at defiance the laws Of the Government.
1.-THE right of workingmen to quit
| work, either singly or in body, subject
only to the civil obligations of contracts,
is not denied, provided that the abandon
ment of service is accomplished in
| peaceful and orderly manner; and hers
again the privilege of freedom must be
exercised without interfering with the
rights and property of others.
1T may be said that this freedom, or
| privilege accorded to the laboring man
| with the restrictions named is of no great
value, since he is thereby prevented from
securing the protection he. ought to have
| to his labor. This may be true, and it
may be conceded that the relations of
labor to capital present difficult prob
| lem for solution, but it seems to me that
the Intelligence OF the people ought TO
| solve this question in peaceful and
proper manner. 1t certainly cannot With
out the consent of the courts be settled by
violence or any unlawful means.
ut will appear to you from what 1 have
said that very serious and important
duty devolves upon you as grand jurors
of this Court. Your oath requires you to
diligently inquire and make true pre-
sentiment of such articles, matters and
things as shall be given you in charge or
! otherwise come to your knowledge touch
ing the present service. The oath indi-
Gates the impartial spirit with which your
duties should be performed. You are to
present no one from any hatred or malice,
nor should you leave any one unrepre-
sented for fear, favor, affection, hope of
reward or gain, but should present all
things truly as they come to your knowl-
edge, according to the best of your un-
derstanding."
MARTIAL LAW NOT DECLARED.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Up to late
hour tonight no word has been received
from General Ruger at Sacramento, and
no information that martial law has been
declared at Sacramento. Martial law in
Sacramento has not been declared by
President Cleveland, but it is supposed
the local authorities may have taken the
action.
PRIVATE DUGAN BURIED.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.-Private Wes-
ley G. Dugan was buried this afternoon
at the Presidio with military honors.
Corporal Cole arrived late Thursday
night with the body of his late comrade.
1t was placed in a casket at Sacramento,
the boys in the company putting up their
mite for the purchase of the casket. The
funeral took place at o'clock from the
hospital at the Presidio. The building of
battery l. was draped in black. The
casket was placed on light battery
wagon, and was conveyed to the grave
followed by Major Kinzie and the staff
and the soldiers. An unusual event was
the fact that Mrs. Graham and the wives
of the other army officers joined the pro-
cession and marched to the grave. This
was an honor heretofore accorded no
other private ever buried at the Presidio.
The ladies covered the casket with floral
pieces, and many soldier wept silently
as the body was lowered into the grave,
over which a salute of three volleys was
fired.
THE STRIKE STILL ON.
TACOMA, July 13.-Charles A. Barnes,
the ex-chief clerk of the Northern Pacific
freight department in this city, was given
hearing to-day in the United States
Court on charge of contempt of court by
intimidation of Northern Pacific en-
ployes. He filed written statement
saying be had made no Intentional viola
ton of the courts order and pleading for
mercy If he had overstepped the bounds
of the order. Judge Gilbert reserved his
decision until tomorrow.
Copies of Manager Hendricks circular
were posted at two O'Clock. They were
generally taken as a confirmation of the
report that the strike had been declared
or hi A T0asl
Union men refuse to believe the strike is
ended, and claim to be still confident of
winning. Chairman Creehan of the Ex-
ecutive Committee says he has received a
telegram from Chicago stating that the
strike is still on.
PRESIDENT HILL AND THE STRIKE.
SEATTLE, July 13.-President Hill of
the Great Northern said of the strike to-
night: "The men out here had no cause
to strike, and will not profit by it, The
only question involved was whether or
not car shop in Chicago should run,
and the controversy ought never to have
gone outside that town. Here we have
100000 men out of work, and in such
times as these men who have positions
give them up for reasons which they
themselves cannot understand or explain.
But they will have to learn. Some of
them will probably have to pack and go
away to some foreign country, where
IHSy Will HOG only p0 strangers, DuJ In9
language will be strange to them. What
do we care way out here whether car
shop in Chicago runs or shuts down?
''The strike should not have affected
people on the coast at all. Now many
men are tied up who are glad of an OPP
portunity to cease operations. They
would be still more glad if they could sell
out and get away. They are not going to
extend their business, they are more
likely to draw it in, and many men who
quit work now will have a hard time TO
find employment again."
Being told of the strikers theory that
the non-unIon men were incompetent
and would ruin the locomotives, and thus
force the employment of the old men,
Mr.. Hill said: THAT'S all bosh. Why
there's twice as much rolling stock in re-
serve ready for use as there is in opera
tion. There is nothing in that theory.
Look at the men who are idle. What
field to draw from. They are not talking
sense.n
