STANFORD, Conn, May THE law has
been invoked to stop the intimidation
which the little "CoSey army OF ST rikng
trackmen have been practising along the
lines OF the New Haven railroad since last
Friday. SO long as the strikers remained
ouiet and orderly the company made no
effort to prevent them from walking along
it's tracks, but the strikers have resorted
10 acts OF violence.
II was announced this afternoon that
Sheriff Hawley Of this county had sent out
TO all his deputies notices calling their
attention to Section 1898 Of the General
Statutes. which relates to rioting. The
order calls attention to the various trans
eressions of the strikers among the lines
of the railroad. and especially to their
intimidation OF the men who were willing
to work, and urges the deputies to exercise
vigilance in keeping the peace and pre-
venting the recurrence Of such acts.
The deputies are ordered to arrest per
sona found violating the provisions OF the
statute in HuesGSHh Shs sna f Hawev Sss sem before
within the past few days l have been
notified that numerous instances of alleged
Violation of this stsecton have occurred in
this county and especially along the lines
of the New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad, where, by threats OF violence and
other forms of intimidation, employees OF
the railroad company are said to have been
tnmnelied to desist from their legitimate
labor and put in fear Of bodily injury. As
il is part Of our official duty to assist in the
keeping Of peace, it is my desire that you
exercise unusual diligence 70 prevent the
recurrence OF such crimes within this juris-
diction. and arrest and bring before
nroper Magistrate any and all persons found
narticiDating in such crimes.

At the close of the hearing yesterday
Schwartz approached a witness in the
hallway outside OF the trial room and ac-
cused him of making false statements OH

as a result Of which Schwartz was SUE
pended This will make another charge
for him to answer.
Four of the charges against Scliwart

OM4H4 INJUNCTION MODIFIED.

start Sympathcttc Strike.

OMAHA Neb., May The temporary
injunction issued last night by Federal
Judge Munger, by which the striking team
sters in Omaha were restrained from inter-
fering with non union men, has created
an ugly feeling among union labor of all
crafts.
The injunction was modified this MORN
ing, Judge Munger stating that 1t was not
his intention to order the union disbanded,
and that tie provision crept in through
mistake.
President Crews of the Teamsters Union,
and in charge Of the at rike. spent the entire
day visiting other unions and trying to
get them to go on strike if that il necessary
TO help the strikers win.
A number of officers of other trades
are en- route to Omaha to consider the situa-
tion, and the sympathetic strike movement
is assuming dangerous proportions.
Gov. Mickey and Gen. Culver, command
ers of the State National Guard are in
Omaha tonight in conference with the
Sheriff, Mayor and Chief Of Police over the
situation.
Sheriff Powers swore in a number of
deputy sheriffs tonight and issued state-
ment that order would be maintained at

SAYS PARKER rs HILLS NAN
j. ". AlIlng So Declares In Arguing for
Labor Union incorporation.

New HAVEN, May before the Joint
Committee on Labor OF the Connecticut
General Assembly this afternoon, John
W. Alling, counsel for seine OF the leading
corporations of Connecticut, made the
closing argument in favor Of the proposed
law for the incorporation OF the trade
unions of this State. He said that the
substantial object of the bill was to enact
laws which will put down disorder and
the interference with natural rights Incl
dent to a hotlv contested or unsuccessful
strike.
The truth was. he said that Connecticut,
because of disorder and labor riots, is called
upon to enact laws that will adequately
suppress these tuInu's.
There is no sort Of doubt that If labor
ever takes the benefit OF incorporation ii
viii make stronger entity 10 enforce its
rights than the individual labor union now
does said Mr.. Alling. "England's CONNER
cai supremacy is threatened by the su-
premacy in England itself of trades union
ism"
Mr. Alling condemned the boycott and
referred to decision of the New York
Court OF Appeals. written by Chief Judge
Parker. In referring TO Judge Parker
Mr.. Alling said:
He is, as We all know, in training as the
Democratic candidate for President of
the United States. lie got ms present
Office by fiuke He is said by his Demo-
cratic advcrsaries to he politician of the
David B. Hill type and to be playing poll
tics all the time and to regard the game
of politics a the greatest game of human
life and he ertainly seems to have sue
ceeded very well.
1T is understood that Judge Parker is a
tender by Mr.. Hill TO Mr.. Bryan upon which
all the opposing Democratic interests may
centre and it would not be strange if such
a result should come about
Mr. Alling said that one of the provisions
of the proposed law makes conspiracy
punishable by statute as vel as by common
law The bill ALSO provides that before
labor hosilities begin between company
and its employees Il notice of thirty days
must be given in the case of public service
corporations and notice of fifteen days in
other cases. Mr.. Alling said that such
a provision would be of the greatest value
in preventing industrial ] strikes and in
securing to the public: in cases Of public

STREETS FLLL or THE IDLE
A Plain DemOnst ration Of the Evil Of Three
DiE strikes.

hIB StTtktS.
One of the noticea ble effects of the many
strikes declared on May / il that the
streets especially the downtown streets, are
crowded with well-dressed mechanics, most
of them with money to spend and no way
to kill time save by spending it.
Not in years have there been so many
idle workinglneu in New York city on a
weekday as were seen yesterday. lhls
does not mean that there is not plenty OF
work for the idle ones TO do, for 1t is equally
true that never has there been such de-
mand for all kinds OF labor, skilled and un-
skilled, as at presen,, Contractors and
other large employers OF men are on the
lookout for men every day and cannot get
enough because workingmen in this city
were easy victims to the strike fever that
has struck the town.
Around the headquarters of the labor
unions scores OF men are gathered daily
lust now. They wear their Sunday clothes
and pass the time away drinking. smoking
and talking about the rights OF organized
labor. Meanwhile great deal OF I'M
portant work is at standsti!l because
these same men are ordered by the unions
not TO go to work and they Will not LEI an
body else take their places
Ii is unnecessary to enuIneraie the mn
portant private Jobs that are al stand
STILL the subway is enough. The Italian
Iaborers who have gone on strike under
direction Of their American organizers
and advisers have stopped good deal Of
other important work on the subway and
made lot of men idle who have no griev-
ances and don't want to quit. Hundreds
OF ironwerkers on the subway have nothing
TO do because they have to wait for the
Italian laborers to decide to return to work.
The same Is true OF many men IN the
building trades on account OF the car
penters and team drivers.
These strikes are responsible for the
presence of 10 many idle mechanics in the
streets lust now. Relief for contractors
can be expected when the funds OF the
unions rlln out
