Judge Adams at ST. Louis.
STATEMENT IL BEHALF or THE Men,
Mr. Judson Quetss Legal Des'sicos Show
Ing That the Wshash Employees Have
Sight to Combine nnd 70 Quit
8 the CompAny's Service.


st. Louis. March 2o.--The argu-
ments in behalf Of the Wabash road
was concluded yesterday in the in
junction suit, and the first state
ment In behalf of the men by +. N.
Judson, Of St. Louis, was unfinished
when court adjourned for the day.
The case win certainly continue
through to-day and possibly through
out Saturday. No restriction has
been placed by Judge Adams upon
the duration of arguments and the
attorneys will be given ample time
for exhaustive discussion. .s.sa
Mr.. Judson quoted numerous legal
decisions which went, he said, to
prove that the employees ct the Wa
bash railroad have a perfect right
to combine, or to leave its service,
or to allow an organization or other
men to act for them. No authori-
ties, he said, had been cited by laws
of the road to prevent the contrary.
"The charge Of conspiracy brought
against these defendants" said Mr..
Judson, Consists only of the de-
niand of the men that they be rep
resented by a committee in their
negotiations with the company.
What they most desired was the
right Of recognition in behalf Of their
committee"
I After discussing this point at
length, Mr.. .Judson took up the state
ment advanced by the attorneys. Of
the road that the company pays as
good wages in all instances, and in
some cases better wages, than are
paid by its competitors. There were
physical notifications of the Wabash
schedule which entered into the
proposition, the attorney contended,
such as runs and hours of employ
ment, which went to disprove the
claims of the company. The question
Of grievances was then touched upon
briefly by the attorney, who was
passing to other matters when he
was interrupted by the court. y
"You will recollect," said Judge
Adams, shat in the bill of com
plant it was set forth that there
were no grievances, but that false
statements we're made by the com
mittee to the effect that such griev-
ances did exist and that these state
, ments were made for the purpose Of
securing recognition Of the union,
Are you going to allow that matter
| to rest where it is?"
II am about to discuss IL farther y
said Mr.. Judson, and he did SO at
considerable length.
'sThere is no evidence" continued
the attorney in closing this part Of
his argument, shat the grievances
originated with the grievance com
mittee and not with the men them
selves, but / declare that If the
grievance committee felt inclined to
urge employees Of the Wabash road
to ask for better wages they had o
right to do So"
"a paper has been read here"
broke in Judge Adams, supporting

thorizing this committee to act for
it in negotiations with the road. ]

Boston, March 2O.-Two meetings
Of citizens were held in Faneuil hall
yesterday ITO protest against the
suppression Of truth about the Phil
ippines and praying for further OF.
ficial inquiry into conditions there"
The men active in preparing for the
meetings have been prominent In the
New England Anti-Imperalistic
league. Col. Thomas Wentworth
Higginson presided at the first meet
ingtS
IA. Charles s. Hamlin declared that
the meeting had been called for no
partisan purpose, but was merely Q
gathering of the people Of Massa-
'chusStts to consider and take ac-
ton i,pon a vital question of gov
eminent. "A great issue is before
u.s." he said, whether government
officers are the servants or masters.
Terrible charges have been brought
against certain officers, charges OF
cruelty almost unparalleled in his
tory. A petition has been filed.
signed by college professors through
out the country, asking for an in
,vestigation. The petition had been
contemptuously ignored. Charges
were made that prisoners Of war
were murdered after the battle Of
Caloocan. Gen. Otis sent the charge
to the Judge advocate, recommend
ing court-martial proceedings. The
Judge advocates reply was unfayor-
able and this reply has been forward
ed to the adjutant general OF the
army by Gen. Otis, with the state
ment that he doubted the wisdom OF
q courtmartial and no action has
ever been taken by the war depart
ment. If any one, however, raises
his voice in protest, he is branded
as an assailant Of the honor OF the
army.
II have talked with officers con-
corning the charges and l believe
that the feeling is almost unanimous
that the honor Of the army demands
the fullest investigation and the
prompt acquittal or condemnation
Of the officers charged with crimes.
The action of the present admins
tration and the senate committee in
refusing to probe these charges to
the bottom is but another mode OF
expressing the belief that these
charges of crime are not few scat
tered cases, but pervads the whole
army"
The other speakers Of the after
noon included Herbert Welsh, OF
Philadelphia, who told the story OF
the death Of Father Augustine In the
Philippines, and Lieut.. Hall, OF Col
Funston's Kansas regiment, who
cast discredit upon the story OF Col
Funston's heroic action in swimming
across q river under fire, by stating
that to his knowledge the colonel
could not swim.
MooreAeld Storey presided at the
evening meeting, at which addresses
were made by Winslow Warren, Her
bert Welsh, Rev. Charles c. Ames
and Charles P. Goldman, while letters
Of regret were read from Archbishop
ireland, President Schurman, OF Cor
nell university, Carl Schurz and Al
bert E. Pillsbury.
