A JUDGE ON TRIAL.


Judge d snkfns ACTION.
MILWAUKEE, April lit was after
several delays and false starts that the
congressional il vestigation into the
acts OF Judge jenkins IN connection
with the issuance of an injunction re-
straining the nployes of the North
ern Pacific railroad from quitting its
service, with or without notice." was
finally begun Monday in the spacious
club-room of the Pfister hotel.
The three inquisitors representing
the government of the United States
sat In a row before a long desk, while
opposite sat Attorney Harper. of Terre
Haute. Ind, the representative of the
labor men.
Attorney Harper placed a hand
full of documents in evidence and
pointed out that the receivers them
selves represented that there was no
contract with the men.
The features of the proceedings were:
That Congressman Terry made the
point that the receivers did re ,gnize
the chiefs by sending them notices of
intent to cut the wages; that the
men considered the injunction bind
employ of the road whether ats
fled or not; that the acceptance of the
new schedule of wages was made with
the shadow of the injunction over them;
that the men were hired by the day or
by the mile and could be discharged at
any time; that the injunction has prac-
tically rendered the unions imperative.
Edgar I. Clark, grand chief of the
Order of Railway Conductors, was the
first witness. lie proved shrewd,
plain speaker and conservative in his
views. lie explained the workings of
the order and showed that il required
a two thirds vote Of the men in order
to have strike. He gave history of
the conferences with the receivers and
showed that the injunctions were is
sued before efforts to arrive at an
amicable understanding could be
reached.
During the evidence the witness
gave his sentiments as follows: IL be-
lieve that next to the home the labor
organizations are the pillars of our
government. They teach men ODE
dience TO the laws and make them bet
ter citizens while advancing their in
terests and those of their employers"
Mr.. Clark said he had not been served
with the injunction, although United
States marshal had hunted for him
lie is bound by the order. however, and
would not have sanctioned a strike un-
der the circumstances. He said also
that the men felt bound by the order
not to quit the employ of the road and
would not strike
In answer to Representative Boatner,
Mr.. Clark said he did not think the in
junction had done any harm so far as
the Northern Pacific employees were
concerned. but it had been harmful in
a general way to workingmen, as he
believed it was an abridgement of their
constitutional rights, and established a
precedent which would be followed by
all courts had not congress been called
on to investigate.
Mr.. Sargent's testimony was prac-
tically to the same effect

He was drunk and hungry. so drunk
in fact that il was not the easiest thing
in the world for him to assuage the
pangs of incipient starvation. But he
stuck manfully to the task and in three
quarters of an hour managed to demol-
ish porterhouse steak about one foot
square. Then he took drink and or
dered lobster salad. This also went
the way of the steak and was followed
in order by one piece of pie, an order
of brie cheese, a cup of coffee. and a
swallow small one-of water. Then
he blinlSed sagely at the waiter and
