STRIKERS ENJOINED.
The Court Takes the Side of the EN-
ployers at Cleveland

Cleveland, May S.-A knockout blow
to- the strikers of the Consolidated
Steel company was delivered by Judge
Sage of the United States circuit court
this morning. He allowed the temper
airy injunction against them to stand
a the conclusion of an exhaustive Opin-
ion.
Judge Sage maintained that the proof
was conclusive that violence had been
done the men in the employ of the COM
pany. He held that if the strikers
were not actually engaged in violent
acts, they were at least the ruling spir-
its of them. Furthermore he said that
the rod mill workers union was the
fountain head of the trouble and that
it was clear that the strikers had inter
fered with the lawful right of the COM
pany. The judge called attention to
the fact that since the temporary in
junction was granted the company had
not been mOleSted.

HoNoRs FOR H. D. CROSBY.
Topeka Man Appointed Official Hand
icapper of L. a w.

H. D. Crosby of this city has been
appointed official Handicapped for the
Kansas division L. A. w, by W. 1. Do
ty, member of the national racing
board. The Denver News says:
H. D. Crosby of Topeka, Kan, was
w. I. DOty's first appointment to a pO-
Sition in this division of the L. A w.
Mr.. Crosby had been a candidate for
the position on the national racing
board which was awarded Mr.. DOty,
and the appointment of Handicapped
was a surprise to him. It was an agree
able one, however, showing that the
two officials might work together for
the advancement of the league. Hardly
was the appointment made known be-
fore all Kansas was ablaze with indig-
nant protests against Mr.. Crosby be
ing so honOred.
AS he has been supported for the
racing board by almost the entire state
the sudden change in sentiment was
one of the most surprising events of
the year. Within the past two weeks
sentiment has again switched and Mr..
Crosby is being doomed as the most
popular man in Kansas. The feeling
against him is alleged to have been
worked up by disappointed league pol
iticians. He is a young man of rs years
and has been admitted to the bar and
is in the law department of the Rock
Island railroad. An enthusiastic wheel
man, he has taken part in but three
track races and one road race, and in
none of these made anything like a ma
tional reputation. He is an earnest
worker for the success of the L. A w.
plans"

Threshing over old straw.

Labor Commissioner Johnson is con-
templating bringing a suit to prevent the
viola ton of the eight hour law in the
state printing office. The time which
employees work in that office is regulated
by an agreement between Major Hudson
and the unions represented by the print
ers, binders, pressmen, feeders and 9TH
ers, so that Mr.. johnson would not likely
receive the unqualified support of the or
CARNATIONS in such a movement, as the
men are paid for all overtime Major
Hudson is not alarmed by the prospect
of further litigation he will give up the
office in six weeks and does not believe
that the suit will be brought to initiate
against his Populist successor. This
eight hour fuss has been stirred up by
every labor commissioner for ten years.
The la unions regulate this matter
more thoroughly and justly than the
commissioner can.

CHANCE FOR AMERICANS.
Hawaiians Prefer Them to Asiatics as
Laborers.

San Francisco, May THE steamer
Alameda, from Honolulu April 29
brings the news that the Australia on
April % brought via San Francisco
from the Hawaiian minister at Toxic
advices informing this government that
the Japanese warship Naniwa was now
on her way to Honolulu with a Japa-
nese commissioner on board to investi-
gate the cases of Japanese immigrants
who were recently denied landing by
this government.
japanese now in quarantine were to
be liberated yesterday, but a fresh case
of smallpox will keep the men in con-
finement for another eighteen days or
more. The Hawaiian cabinet has de-
cided, after many conferences on the
labor question, that Asiatic laborers
must be sooner or later replaced by
Americans and that the sooner such
work was commenced the better it
would be for the islands. How to ap-
ply a remedy was next discussed. The
government decided it necessary to
open labor bureau under government
auspices, planters defraying the ex-
pense, as no public funds are available
for the purpose.

Good Showing at St Louis.

length and three and a half feet high,
is considered the average jump, but
much better work than this was done,
the Dayton man taking the IA point
mark, and the Topeka, Kan, Turner'S
did not stop on Is. In their group there
were half a dozen lightweight, IOng-leg-
ged, shifty looking athletes.
They would sprint down the broad,
clear the ground at the end and go
over the hurdles like Kansas grass
hOppers travelling through the air. 1t
is thought these Kansas men will be
well up in the jumping scores. They
did their work in the amphitheater,
where there We're but a few spectators
until after the big brass band went in
there and began to play. Then the seats
filled up, but the people We're too late
to see the fine jumping of the grass
hOppers. The jumping machines were
on the race tracks, and in the horse
ring and the cheers and applause of
partisans marked a particularly fine
jump
