TRAIN DISPATCHING

Once I was train dispatcher. ] am
not now and don't want to be. This is
the reason:
one night the road was fairly hot
with trains when came on duty. i
wondered how in thunder / should
ever get the passenger train through
without delay. There seemed TO be a
train on every sldetrack over the Whole
length of the road aud more between
stations. worked like beaver. Ii
was In the old days Of what are known
as ..Singlc' orders. when each train
received separate order. which must
he sent to each one concerned singly.
Y0u will easily see how in the rush or
business single order might be incor-
rcctly transmitted and trains leave sta
tionS under conflicting orders. which
would certainly bring them together
unless corrected.
a double header left the foot of the
mountain about midnight holding an
order giving It the right To Summit.
About thlrty-ivc minutes ahead of II
was fast freight. The latter had an
engine numbered 4.7. and the double
train had engines :i42 and 81.
Along toward morning train was
ready 10 go down the mountain. aud l
gave the order To run Wild and wait
for engine 427 at Summit. In some
way or other the double train follow

Mayor Rose Reelected.

Milwaukee, April 2.-Mayor Rose was
yesterday elected mayor of Milwaukee
for the third time after one of the hot
test campaigns the city has ever seen.
With less than half of the returns the
republicans concede his election by at
least 5000 and his pluarilty may reach
1000.
Major Arson was cut in his home
ward severely. But this was nothing to
the cutting in some of the other wards,
especially those where the old Baum
gaertner element was strong. The only
question now is the majority which Mr..
Rose will receive.
His reelection is tribute to the
mayors campaigning abilities. The re-
publicans put up one Of the best fights
they have made for years. They had
good organization and made sturdy
fight until the polls closed, but to no
avail. They were simply swamped, so
far as the head Of the city goes.

HAVE RIGHT TO STRIKE.
Court Upholds Right of Labor Unions
to Order Walk Out.

New York. April members of a
labor union have the right to refuse to
work with non-union men, and may
order strike to enforce such right, ac-
cording to a decision of the court of APP
peals at Albany yesterday. Thes de-
olson is in the case of the National As
ISOLATION of Steam Filters and Helpers
and Charles McQueed, appellant,
against James NJ Cummin and Patrick
j. Duff. as treasurer of the Enterprise
Association. The court is divided in
its decision, the prevailing opinion be-
ing written by Chief Judge Parker and
concurred in by Judges Gray, O'Brien
and Caight 1t is dissented from by
Judges Bartlett Martin and Vann. In
his opinion Judge Parker holds:
1T is not the duty of one man to
work for another unless he has agreed
to, and if he has SO agreed to, but for
no fixed period, either may end a con-
tract whenever he chooses. The one
may work or refuse to work at will and
the other may hire or discharge at Will.
Workingmen have the right to organize
for the purpose of securing higher
wages, shorter hours of labor or inn
proving their relations with the en-
ployers. They have the right to strike,
provided the object is not to crafty
malice or inflict injury upon others, but
to secure better terms of employment.
A peaceful and orderly strike is not in
violation of the law.
THE defendants had the right to
strike for any reason they deemed a
just one, and had the right to notify
their employer of their, purpose to
strike. I am unable to see how it is
possible to deny the right of the de-
PENDANT organization and their meme
bers to refuse to work with nom men,.

sumo all, the risk of injury that may
come upon them thru the tcarelessness
of -employes, they the moral and le-
gal right to say that they will not work

take their dictation or go without their
services. ms
The defendant association, as APP
pears from the findings, wanted to put

at work who were non-membeIss work.
irc for smaller pay. and they set about
doing it in a perfectly lawful manner.
They determined that If 1t were neces-
sary they would bear the burden and
expense of strike to accomplish that
result and in so determining they were
clearly within their rights.

with precisely the same legal right as
is an individual to threaten to do that

LICENSE THE NEBRASKA ISSUE.
Republicans Win in Three cornere,
Fight in South Omaha.

Omaha, April City elections were
held in every town in Nebraska yester-
day, with the exception of Omaha. Cen
matter Of national politics entered but
slightly into the campaigns.
Nebraska has a local option law and
the question of license or no license was
the slogan In number Of the larger
towns, including Lincoln. Among the
towns in which the vote resulted in ia
vor of license was Tobias Elm Creek,
David City, Ainsley and Indianola.
Those favoring the temperance cause
We're Fullerton. Elgin, Rising City,
Franklin, Shelton, Fender and Stella.
There was no city election in Omaha,
but the campaign in South Omaha was
a three-cornered fight between demo-
Gratis, republicans and citizens candi-
dates. The republicans elected Frank
Koutsky mayor and the rest Of the
ticket will probably be republican, In
Guiding six councilmen. Personalities
entered greatly into the campaign and
national politics were not factor to
any great extent, altho party lines were
drawn in the voting.
al Fremont FRANK HOllenDeck, demo-
crat. for city treasurer, and one demo-
crat and three republican counciImen
were elected. Columbus elected s. p.
Dickinson. republican, for mayor by
thirteen majority, the rest of the ticket
being about evenly divided between re-
publicans and democrats. Norfolk went
democratic and Pawnee City republic
can. Lyons, which has for years been
a temperance town, gave majority for
license.
In Lincoln the entire republican
ticket, with the exception of one coun-
Gilman, was elected and the town de-
clared in favor of license.
Plattsmouth elected a democratic
ticket and Benkleman voted two to, one
against license. The Crete city ticket
is mixed, with democrat for mayor.

MoB's RAID ON INDIANA HOME.
Two attempts Fail to Get Brown
County Man, Out on Parole.

Indianapolis, April AT 1880 o'clock
yesterday morning a mob of masked
men appeared at the residence of Mrs.
Mary Price at Nashville, Brown. coun-
ty. forced open the back and front
doors simultaneously with heavy sticks
of cordwood. and demanded to know
where Charles Price, brother, was.
Mrs. Price said she did not know, and
the mob threatened to give her whip
ping. and tried in various ways to ex-
tort the information from her, but she
refused to tell and after cursing and
abusing her they left the house.
An hour later the mob returned and
made another search of the premises,
thinking that Price, in the meantime,
might have returned. The search re-
suited in disappointment, and the mob
left after mailing a notice on the doo.,
which read: Our daughters must and
shall be protected
Just what the special cause of the
grievance against Price IS no one seems
to know. He has been in the peniten-
tiary several times. and is now out on
parole.
