low.
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, March 3.-The
Santa Fe railway has given notice
that it will carry passengers on its
through as well as its local freight
trains. The western railroads an
nounced that on January l., 1885, they
would discontinue the practice of car
rying passengers on freight trains.
Such a protest was made by merchants
and travellers that the railroads de-
cided to revoke their order and agreed
to accommodate passengers at least on
local freight trains. The action of the
Santa Fe is an entering wedge which
will probably result in the restoration
of the old regime.

AGAINST THE STRIKERS.
Federal Judge Hammond, at Cleveland,
Renders an Important DeclalOn De-
flung Rights NJ Non Union Men.

Cleveland, o., Oct l9.-Judge Ham
mond, OF the United States circuit
court, granted the application Of the
American Steel 4 Wire company for
an injunction against the striking wire
drawers. The injunction is blanket
one, and applies to all the defendants.
named in the petition, and to any
Others who may hereafter interfere
with the employees Of the company.
The court held that those seeking employ
ment in the place Of the strikers have rights
which labor unions land strikers are bound to-
respect md that one Of the rights OF each citi-
zen Is that Of unobstructed access to the place
where work Is to be done and over the streets
and highways and usual approaches to such
place. and that this freedom Of access Is not at
all inconsistent with the right Of strikers to-
use the same streets and highways for the
lawful conduct and maintenance OF their strike
by peaceable entreaty or argument with men
intending to supplant them in employment
The injunction granted restraints the strikers
from in any manner interfering with the oper-
alton Of the cOmplanants' mills and from mo-
testing or intimidating or threatening those
desiring to work at the mills. and from con-
gregating and picketing the mill or houses OF
the employees for the purpose Of intimidation
