A WET CHRISTMAS PROMISED.

Rain. rain, and yet more rain. is the best the
Weather Bureau can promise for to-day. No hockey
games coasting for the boys skating or sleigh
ing for their elders, only a steady downpour Of
rain
The mother whose friends have supplied the
children with indoor games will be happy, for they
will keep in a fairly contented mind those young
STEERS who have to stay indoors. The boy who gets
a new pair OF skates Will not be so happy, however.

Still After Miles.

Washington. May I'm a recent trial
a Manila there was introduced in evil
dence a letter taken from Filipino and
signed by a native saying that the re-
cent visit of General Miles to the Phil
ippines was for the purpose of collecting
evidence to aid the cause of the anti
imperialists The letter, with other evil
dence was published in a Manila paper.
General Davis. commanding in the Phil
ippines sent a copy of the letter to the
war department with an endorsement
saying he had no doubt that the use of
General Miles name in this connection
was unauthorized. The letter and en-
dorsement was referred to General Miles
who returned it with the further in
dorsement that the view of General
Davis was entirely correct and the use
of his name was wholly unauthorized.

STRIKERS ENJOlNED.
Federal Court Interferes in the
Omaha Situation.

Oma ha, May 7--On petition of a num-
Der OF complainants including the prin-
cipal transfer and delivery companies
involved in the teamsters' strike, Judge
Munger of the federal court has granted
a temporary restraining order enjoining
the officers of Team Drivers Interna-
tional union local II, j. E. Crews presi-
dent, r. s. Wilcox, treasurer, and Ed
all members of the union from doing
certain acts calculated to interfere with
interstate commerce and commanding
them to appear in court May 20 to show
should not be granted. The petition was
filed by attorneys representing seven de-
livery companies, five coal dealers one
lumber company, one jobber and a de-
partment store.
In their petition the complainants re-
cite the terms of the contract the Team
Drivers union asked them to sign and
their particular objection to that clause
therein which provided that No team
ster shall be discharged, laid off or
docked in his time or pay for refusing
to haul goods to or from any house, for
a firm, corporation or contractor de-
clared to be unfair by the labor unions,
and then go on to relate particular in
stances where, by threats, intimfdattons
and violence the strikers have inter-
ferred with their lawful business. 1t is
alleged that a threat was made by one
of the strikers that if Walter Jardine
undertook to do business with nom
union drivers he would be assaulted and
killed
It is further alleged that Interstate
commerce was interfered with when the
strikers stopped goods in transit from
Omaha to Council Bluffs and from one
station to another in Omaha.
/ The action of the federal court takes
the strike out Of the hands of the local
and state authorities and d violation of
the order it is believed will result in
calling out of federal troops If necessary
to preserve the peace and enforce the
order of the court
Large crowds Of strikers gathered in
different parts of the city during the
day and jeered the owners of wagons
who were themselves driving teams
The entire police force is doing double
duty but no violence has resulted
Forty horse shoers were locked out
during the day because they refused to
shoe horses of firms whose drivers are
on strike About fifty freight package
handlers went on strike in obedience to
an order issued by their president fifty
teamsters in the employ of ice com
panies are ordered out The Standard
t Oil company has notified its city Gus
toners that the company would deliver
no more oil until quiet is restored and
oil and gasoline wagons to be driven on
the streets while the trouble lasted
Both sides are settling down for pro-
/ longed contest and neither shows any
| signs of yielding. 1t Is estimated that
over 5000 men are now out. and labor
/ leaders declare they will be able to call
out several hundred others should such
action become necessary to gain their
point.
