APPEAL TO COURT.
BIG OUT IN TELEaRAPHERs' WAGES

In Violation of AN Order by Judge Cald-
well Two Years Ago-Men's Salaries at
Certain Points Reduced Nearly so Per
Cent.-Petition Filed Asking That the
Receivers he Called Down" = Other
Grievances That Appear.
OMAHA Aug. IA suit has been filed
I'm the United States circuit court which is
likely to demonstrate just how great per-
manent benefits the men on the Union
Pacific are TO reap from the famous wage
schedule conference held before Judge
Caldwell in March, 1894 Among the
other results Of this famous conference
In fact, the result IL was called to accom-
plish-was the adoption Of "a wage schedule
and u code of rules which was to govern
the relations of the men and the receivers.
Among these rules was one which pro-
vided that no man should be discharged
without just cause, and another was that
the schedule of pay fixed upon at that
time was not TO be altered except by order
of the court
photographers Make the Complaint.
The men in the telegraph branch OF the
service allege that both of these provisions
have been violated, and on this the issue
will be Joined in case which has been
filed in the United States court. In this
case j. Il. Weybright, l.. NJ. Tudor, l..
Rosenbaum and n. A. Smith, represent
ing the Order of Railway photographers,
members of the joint protective board of
the employees OF the Union Pacific system,
appear IA plaintiffs The netition recites
the order entered by Judges Caldwell and
Riner at the conclusion of the hearing in
March, 1894, and the conferences leading
up to it. 1t then proceeds to state that
the following rates Of pay for telegraph
operators were fixed by the order: Rogers,
$62 per month; Benton, So; Aida, S62;
Boone, $i5; Rockville, SIS.
Their Salaries About Cut in Half
Without notice to the men or to the
court, and in violation of that order, the
petition states, the wages at these stations
have been reduced as follows: Rogers, to
S35 per month; Benton, $25; Aida, s35;
Boone, s25; Rockville, S25. The petitioners
ask the court that the wages of the men
be restored 70 the amount named in the
schedule, and that the difference between
that and the amount they have received
since the reduction be paid to them. BY
far the most important portion of the petit
ton is contained in the next paragraph.
In it the petitioners allege that the man
aging officials of the company are hostile
to organized labor, and particularly TO the
Order of Railway Telegraphers, and that
a systematic effort has been made to weed
out the leaders in the order by summary
discharging them wi hout cause.
