Not Wheel Moving OH the Santa Fe
Railroad System TO-day-A
Message from Judge
Caldwell.
The Switchman on the LamV Branch
Quits Under Orders-The Local
Situation.

III was yesterday. MOI Wneel Is moving
anywhere, SO far as can be learned at this
point. Certainly no trains are in opera
tion between Ell Paso and Deming and
Ration. make-shift train came up the
road last night destined for Las Vegas
and at II o'clock the train on the Santa
Fe-Lamy branch was made up to go
down and meet it, but the
FIREMAN REFUSED TO WORK.
His name is Luis Ulibarri. He is a
member of the Switchman's association at
Las Vegas and he declined to serve the
company under orders from the officers
of his labor association. The engineer
said he would take out the train alone,
but the train dispatcher wired not to
permit this and ordered the local train
crew laid off until further orders. Thus
the matter stands at 2 p. m. to-day. At
this writing, 8 p. M, there seems to be no
telling when train will go out.
JUDGE oALDwELL's MESSAGE.
Judge Caldwell has sent the receivers
of the A., T. u s. F. railroad the following
telegram:
To j W Reinhart John McCook, Jos. G.
Wilson, Receivers of the A, I. 4 5. F.,
Chicago, Ill.
Wequetonsing, Mich, June 20, 1884,
The men in the employ of the receivers
of the A., I. & s. F. railway system must
discharge all their usual and accustomed
duties or quit the services of the re-
ceivers altogether and permit men to
take their places who will discharge
those duties. Any or all Of the employees
can quit the service of the court if they
care to do SO, but when they do quit they
must not interfere in any manner with
the property or the operation of the
road or men employed to take their
places. ANY such interference will
be promptly dealt with as contempt
of court. The men who wish to continue in
the service of the court must discharge
all their duties appropriately and properly
belonging to the service. A refusal to
perform any part of these duties will com
| pei their discharge and the employment
of other men to take their places. All
the power and authority of the court will
be vigorously exercised to enforce the
rules. can not believe the boycott or
der was intended to be put in operation
on roads in the custody of the United
States court and operated by receivers
appointed by those courts, but, if such is
the case, the authority of the boycott or
| der and the men to whom it is addressed
understand that The court will not permit
any interference with the operation of
the road by U. s. receivers from any
quarter. The men must understand that
they can not remain in the service of the
receivers and refuse to perform any duty
pertaining to the service. They must make
their selection whether they will take
their orders as to the cars to be switched
and handled from President Debs or the
court. If they elect to obey the orders
OF the former they may do SO, but in that
case they evidently must understand de.
cidedly that they are no longer in the
service of the court for any purpose and
that other mon will be employed to take
their places permanently who will
be guarded and protected in the discharge
of their duties.
| When the situation of the courts and the
law applicable to the case is understood
do not believe there will be any at
tempt to put the boycott order into effect
Any effort to do SO will be in direct con
tempt of the authority of the court and
must evidently result disastrously to the
men. AS soon as 1 learn that it is the
deliberate purpose of those ordering the
boycott to attempt to enforce it against
the authority of the court will proceed
to Topeka and deal with the matter on
the lines indicated in this dispatch.

U. S. Circuit Judge
LOCAL CONDITIONS.
In case the te-up should continue for
any length of time many communities in
New Mexico will suffer inconvenience in
the scarcity of commodities, such as po-
tatoes, grain, hay, butter and eggs, etc
With Santa Fe, however, it is different
Having two lines of railway this city can
now reach the outside world via the mar
row gauge. This favorable local situation
also extends not only to the above enum
Grated articles, but to coal and lumber and
the mails. All other New Mexico towns
have been without mails from the east
for three days past, everything being
tied up at Ration, La Junta and Kansas
points, whereas the narrow gauge trains
bring in here daily the mail from Denver
and other Colorado points. Kansas City an6
Chicago papers also come via this route
If the present conditions are to prevail
long, which, however, seems well nIgt
improbable, it would prove great con
venience to have all mail from the east
! destined to Santa Fe routed temporarily
via Denver and the narrow gauge.
| AT BATON.
The situation at Ration was very quiet
up to 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, blu,
to-day there is some intimation of ex
element, not to say something more.
As result of instructions issued BY
the American Railway Union from head
quarters at Chicago, a committee of five
are in charge of the interest of the en-
ployes at that point. After they set out
and side-tracked the first Pullman car the
officers of the division ordered the train
held there until further orders, notwith
standing the fact Of its running a mai
train. Since then other trains have beer
ordered held under similar circumstances
Yesterday afternoon the train men are
reported to have run one man out oil
Ration and one to two others have beer
spotted" Sheriff McCuiston is on the
ground and anticipates no violence o.
any sort by the strikers.
THE A. g. P. ALSO.

querque and west of that point ceased
