TELEGRAPHERS DIVIDED
TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
ISSUED BY A ST. LOUIS COURT.
Low-Rate Contracts n Question which
Is Troubling the Presidents-
baltimore to Have a Rival.

The Order of Railroad Photographers Of
North America has been divided into two
contending factions since the unfortunate
strike on the Southern Railway. engin-
eered by President Powell. There have
been charges and countercharges against
the president and other officers. and the
special meeting of the Grand Division,
called for Oct. 8, is likely to be a warm
one.
Members OF the Missouri Pacific Railroad
divisions have applied at st. Louis for n
writ of mandamus upon the local secre-
tary and a committee who have refused to
turn over the ballots of a recent election
of delegates to the Grand Division meet
ing, the petition says, under a pretended
order of the president of the order.
Last week at St. Louis III. p. Perham
filed suit against the Order of Railroad
Telegraphers of North America and it's Of
ficers TO restrain them from removing him
from the secretary and treasurership Of
the association. He alleges that being in
charge of $4,000 10 be used for the mutual
benefit department of the order. he has re-
fused to allow the money TO be used for the
purpose of paying the expenses of other
departments, and for this reason charges
have been filed against him by the presi-
dent and directors. A temporary restrain
ing order was issued.

MAY START THEIR MINES.
Operators Preparing to Break the
Strike and Resume Operations.

Strike and Resume Operations.
SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 26.-The gains
that the strikers have been making in the
Schuylkill region have had the effect of
rousing the operators of this Gackawanna)
district to activity, and steps are now being
taken to drive the entering wedge in an eff
fort to break up the strike. A prominent
operator said to-day that the policy so
far pursued of waiting for the strike to
break itself up. will be abandoned early
next month. unless something occurs this
week TO indicate that action on the part of
the operators will be unnecessary. The
plan of the operators is to have each of the
big corporations start up a few mines and
keep them going at all costs. 1t is con-
fidently expected that employees of four
and possibly five collieries will resume
work when the big companies begin to get
under way, and with good proportion
of the men back at work, it will not be
long before all will have returned. This
move is not far distant, as is attested by
the fact that two hundred deputies have
been sworn in by Sheriff Pryor at the in
stance of the coal companies during the
past few days, and that commissions for
400 coal and iron police, issued by Governor
Stone, were received to-day by Recorder of
Deeds Warnke and distributed among the
five big companies, the Delaware & Hud-
son, the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern the Pennsylvania, the Temple Iron
Company, and the Hillside Coal and Iron
Company.

ing no particular attempt to prevent them
from operating.
