"one Million in 1eo5.-

"One million members in 1906" is
the slogan of the United Brotherhood
OF Railway Employees. The organiza-
ton was formed at Rosebury. Oregon.
Jan. 27, 1901. 1t aims to, cover all
white employees engaged upon steam
railroads, also white ex-railway en-
ployes who have had three or more
years experience.
1t was brought into existence largely
In response to a general desire of the
railway employees of the country to
unite themselves together in one com
pact union for their general welfare,
says F. A. jackson, special represen-
tative of the order in Chicago. With
this idea in mind, those who conceiv-
ed the organization and built it up see
to-day brotherhood of railroad men
that has grown to $1,000 members in
about fourteen months.
In working out their plans these
men have succeeded beyond their most
sanguine expectations. At the recent
convention in San Francisco it was re-
ported that ffty-seven divisions were
organized in California. Oregon, Ne
vada, Utah, Colorado. Montana, Ari-
zona, New Mexico, Louisiana. Texas,
Idaho, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio and
Pennsylvania. Representatives are
now in all great railway centers of the
country except the far east.

RESTRAINED ?.
Judge Grosscup Issues Order
Asked by Interstate -
Commission. a.

Chicago, March 24.-With the consent
of the defendants, Judge Grosscup in the
federal court to-day issued the temporary
restraining order asked for by the in
terstate commerce commission against six
railways entering Chicago. The order
holds good until June 1, or until further
orders from the court -.
The railroads affected are the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern, Pittsburg.
Cincinnati Chicago & St. Louis, Pitts
burg. Fort Wayne G Chicago, Michigan
Central, Illinois Central and Chicago &
North Western Before entering the or
der Judge Grosscup said:
But for the compliance Of the defendants
[ should have required the fullest possible
hearing. The matter is one of extreme i'm
portance and not to be decided without the
most mature elaboration.
Personally, I believe that freight rates
should be as steady and equal as postal rates
and that no determinations should be made.
Tn eperson who turns over freight to com
mon carrier for transportation should be
made to feel that he will enjoy the same
rate as every other shipper. The kind of
traffic on which these bills are based is much
more complicated than mailable matter and
the rates therefore should be subjected to that
much strlcter regulation. But the question
here is what power the government has to
enforce the provisions Of this interstate COM
merce act. If this application for an injunc-
ton can be maintained it will make the
courts of equity the masters of the main
tenance of rates. Such finding might also
prove to be the vitalizing principles OF the
act II any departure from the established
rates is made by any Of these railroads dur
ing the tendency of these orders the court
will take great pains to seek out the offended
and provide against furthe: Violations.
1t is believed that the railroads agreed
not to contest the petition at this time,
in order that other roads eventually might
be brought into court and compelled to
live up to the Sherman law and interstate
commerce act.
