EMPLOYEES IN CoURE.


Northern Pacific WOrknon Obtain Orders
Preventing Any Reduction in Wages.
CHEYENNE, WYo., Feb. 27.-George
l.. Hodges, one of the counsel for the
Union Pacific railway employees, ap-
peared before Judge Riner in the United
States circuit here yesterday, and OBJ
tanned an order that the schedule of
pay and rules and regulations affecting
employees which were in force when the
Union Pacific receivers took charge of
that property be continued in full force
and effect until further orders of the
court.
The court further directs that re-
ceivers cause notices of this order to be
distributed among the employees. Judge
Riner, in the absence of Judge Hallett,
will to-day make the same order in Col.
orado as in Wyoming.
This action was taken because the
Union Pacific receivers were notifying
the employees that the new schedule pro-
viding for reduced wages would be en-
forced, regardless of the fact that Judges
Hallett and Riner had refused to enter
Judge Dundy's order in their iurisdic.
tiOns.
