and casually inspecting the Kearsarge,
the president before visiting the other
fagships addressed the enlisted men
and officers Of the ship. He thanked
them on behalf of the people of the

Washington, Aug. 1S.-A telegram
from Bogota, the capital of Colombia,
says that the Panama canal treaty
has been unanimously rejected by the
Colombian senate. 1t is said here that
it was the encroaehment on Colombia
sovereignty resulting from the treaty
that was Objectionable. This informa-
ton was contained in a dispatch re-
ceived later by DR.. Herran, the Co
lombian charge, from Foreign Minis
ter Ricos, at Bogota. This dispatch
showed that in its present form the
treaty was absolutely unacceptable to
the senate, for the reason above stated.
An interesting feature Of the whole

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
United States Judge Rules on
Two Points That Are Very
Important.
AS TO TIE RIGHT TO DISCHARGE
And as to tho Right to Maintain
& "Blacklist" - Both Are
Sustained.

st. Louis, Aug. 1S.-In the federal
court here Judge Rogers gave an opin-
ion that Is of great Importance to or
ganized labor. The case resulted from
q bill filed by telegraph operator,
Arthur Boyer. and others alleging that
they were members of the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union of America, local
lodge No. 3, of St. Louis and that
they had been discharged from the
service of the Western Union Tele-
graph company solely because they be-
longed to the union; that it was the
intention of the Western Union to dis
charge other employees solely because
they belonged TO the union, and that q
conspiracy existed between the st.
Louis officers of the Western Union
company to discharge all employees be-
longing to the union and to break it
up.
Gaze Included Biacklisting, Also.
Also that the Western Union main-
tains list, so-called blacklist" on
which has been placed the names of
the members of the union discharged,
and that this is furnished to others
and thereby those blacklisted have
been prevented from obtaining other
employment. The bill sought to pre-
vent the Western Union company from
discharging any employe because of
him being member of the union,
and the st. Louis officers of the West
ern Union from conspiripg to that end
and to prevent interferey1ce of any kind
with the union, and, to prevent the
Western Union company from main
tanning blacklist and placing thereon
the names of those who might be dis
charged because of being members of
the union.
As to the Right to Discharge.
The Western Union company de-
INJURED to the bill. and this demurrer
was sustained by Judge Rogers, of Ar
kansas, sitting In the United States
circuit court. Judge Rogers held that
the Western Union company had the
absolute right to discharge employees
not under contracturh relations with
the company for eny cause. or with
out cause; that like right exists on
the part of the employe to sever his
relations with the company for any
cause, or without cause; that if a con-
tract of employment is violated tie re-
course Of the emplcye is at law, and
not by bill in equity, such as was
brought in this case; that there could
be no conspiracy to commit lawful
act, such as he held to be the dis
charge of the company's employees be
cause of being members Of a union
Maintaining Blacklist Il Lawful.
He also held that the company had
the right to maintain list on which
might be placed the name of a dis
charged employe and the cause of dis
charge, and this list might be given
others, provided its contents were
| truthful and it's circulation honest; that
as the bill alleged that the union was
formed for moral and proper purposes
there should exist no objection upon
] the part of an employe to have his
discharge based upon the mere fac<
| that he was member Of such an or
der. This decision is regarded as con-
clusiyely settling the law in the West
ern Union company's favor. The
plaintiffs took fifteen days time to
amend their bill.

1T is useless to say the owners or
