Association, knights of Labor, Order
OF Railway photographers, on the
Union Pacific system:
We, the undersigned, general chair
men of the above named organiza tions,
in session assembled, believing that by
the Judges Caldwell and Riner's de-
cisions, organized labor has, for the first
time, in the history of Jurisprudence
been recognized as the equal of organiz-
ed capital and, since, by decree of the
United States court, the receivers of the
Union Pacific system, were forced to re-
cognize all contracts with their en-
ployees; and, as these contracts have
not been violated by said receivers, we
deem it our duty to again assert our
determination to abide by the rulings
of the honorable court; and
Whereas a strike has been inaugural t.
ed on many of the railroads of the
country and has, in a degree, affected
the employees of the Union Pacific, who
were parties to said court proceedings
therefore, be it
Resolved, By the authorized repre-
sentatives of the said organizations
that, we advise and earnestly appeal to
members to stand by their contracts
and agreements on this system, and
thus redeem our pledges of honor to the
court.
Resolved, That, while we believe, that
Pullman employees are justified in re-
sisting the offensive methods used
against them, and believe that labor
should assist them wherever it reason
ably can in justice and equity; and, ir
view of the position taken by the Union
Pacific employees, before the United
States court, we deem it unwise fol
them to recede from the position which
they are legally in. and which may be
the means of sacrificing all that has
been gained for labor everywhere, by
the effect of the Caldwell decision.

To say that this created surprise
among the American Railway unior
men is putting it mildley. The Unior
Pacific officials take it to mean that the
backbone of the strike on their roa6
has been broken, and predict that train;
will be running as usual on Monday.
