ELUDES HIS FRIENDS,
Baltimore Lawyer Discovered in Mem
phis, but Again Disappears.

A dispatch from Baltimore this morning
states that Mr.. George E. E. Timanus and
party of that city have returned from a
trip to Memphis without having found his
brother, Mr.. John ]. Timanus, a lawyer of
the monumental city, whose disappearance
a short time ago has been mentioned in The
Star. Mr.. Timanus disappeared March 9,
and the first news of his whereabouts was
received last Friday by his wife in the
form of letter from him. in which he re-
quested Mrs. TimanuS to write him at
Memphis in care Of the general delivery.
Immediately on receipt of the letter Mrs.
Timanus communicated with her brother
in-law, Mr.. George e. E. Timanus, 1911
Maryland avenue, and her brother, Mr.. c.
Frank Emmart of Baltimore county. These
gentlemen, in company with Mr. w. E.
Upton, a friend of the family, went direct
to Memphis to bring Mr.. Timanus home.
The three arrived in Memphis about 4
o'clock Saturday afternoon, the train being
five hours late They went direct to the
post office, and were much chagrined to
learn that Mr.. Timanus had been there just
fifteen minutes before.
From the clerk at the general delivery
window they learned that Mr.. Timanus Wis
tied the place in the morning and inquired
for mail. Later reporter of a Memphis
paper called at the post office and made
inquiry concerning Mr.. Timanus. The lat
ter returned to the post office in the after
noon and inquired for any mail. He was
again informed that there was none and
the clerk asked him to leave his address.
Mr.. Timanus was about to comply with the
request, but while he was writing the CLERK
remarked casually that some one had in
quired for him earlier in the day. Upon
this, the clerk said, Mr.. Timanus tore I'D
the piece of paper and hurried from the
place. Fifteen minutes later the party
from Baltimore arrived at the post office.
The Baltimoreans searched the city for
| traces of the missing man until Sunday
| night, but were unable to discover his
whereabouts, and the party returned to
| Baltimore, arriving last night.
Mr. George Timanus, the brother of the
missing man. states that he thinks his
brother is laboring under an exaggerated
| idea of some financial difficulty of his and
he believes he will return home of his own
accord.

STATEMENT OF MORRlSSEY
on THE COURTS INJUNCTION.

p H. Morsissey. grand master OF the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, issued
the following statement yesterday:
THE flremen and trainmen employed en-
the Wabash system, by a decisive vote. au-
thorized the committees representing them
and the officers OF their organizations to de-
clare a strike IL the wage scales and other
working conditions which they had pre-
scented to the management were not granted.
This cou,se was decided upon only after
every other honorable method to induce the
company to give them deserved considera-
ton had failed. Their determination to take
this step was deliberately reached as their
personally written signatures will attest.
They chose to hazard their employment and
the consequences to themselves and their
families that might follow rather than to
longer hold the relation Of the only railway
employees Of this section who could not meet
their managing officers on terms Of equality
and be accorded equal wages and similar
treatment given employees Of their class on
other lines Some idea of their situation
may be derived when it is known that the
division officials OF the Wabash would not
meet committee Of their employees to hear
or discuss matters Of complaint There was
no question OF recognition of organized
labor to pce1udice the issue. even though
through their organizations. as their action
could not have been made effective or intel
ligently directed through any other method.
BOW IN SUBMISSION
TO COURTS COMMAND.
ITO prevent the men from carrying out
their determination to defend their position
In a proper and legal way. the company
applied to and was granted an injunction
by Judge Adams of the United States
Court for the Eastern District Court of
Missouri. restraining the organizations,
their officers, the committee and all con-
cerned from directly or Indirectly sanction
ing the procedure agreed upon by the EN-
ployes themselves. To this command, as
law-abiding citizens and organizat tons, we
bow in submission. We will respect ii be-
cause we recognize that until dissolved 1t
is the law. While We view the action of
the court az subversive of American rights
and privileges. and We believe contrary to
common justice and fairness. we utter no
defiance to its mandate and indulge In no
heroics We will. however. contest the
proceeding to the end. for II Judge Adams's
order is written into the laws of our coun-
try, organization Of labor. which is to-day
the hope and protection Of those who toll.
can no longer contribute its benefcent in
fiuences In lettering the condition of the.
working people. In this effort, we believe,
we will not only have the support of or
ganized labor everywhere but all right
thinking citizens who are lovers Of human
rights.

this connection, We leave the public to be
the judge. For years he has boosted of his
contempt for labor organizations. He liked
the distinction 1t brought him OF being the
one managing officer in this section who
could get along without them Every pre-
vfous effort of the employees to meet and
deal with him had proven futile. He did
not fear strike; would easily fill the mems
places. The men refused to be longer
bluffed or cajoled. They told him they
would strike If their requests were not
granted. He knew they were in earnest
and that he could not handle tie situation
as on previous occasions. Instead of meet
ing it squarely and operating his property
without the men, If he were able to do SO,
as he has so often said. the ability which
he has asserted heretofore seems TO have
deserted him and he takes refuge behind the
injunction. the men are legally enmeshed
and must accept without protest, under PEN
atty of imprisonment. the working condi
tiOns which he chooses to impose.
'If he has faith in his assertion that the
purpose of the injunction goes no further
than to prevent outsiders from interfer-
ing with his employees. If he will withdraw
the writ. the officers of the organizations
will agree to leave the matter wholly to
the decision of the committee of his en-
ployes having the matter in charge and
abide the result.
