INJUNCTION
The One Issued on March 3 Dis.
solved by Judge Adams.
NEXT MOVE OF PARTIES UNCERTAIN.


st. Louis, April 2.-The injunction
issued March by Judge Elmer 3.
Adams, Of the United States district
court, at the instance of the Wabash
railroad officials to restrain the
Brotherhoods Of Railway Trainmen
and Firemen from ordering q strike
on that system, was yesterday dis
solved in Q decision handed down by
Judge Adams week after the hear
ing of arguments from both sides
for and against the removal of legal
obstacles.
What the next move will be on
either side is predetermined. At Wa
bash headquarters it was stated that
amicable adjustment Of the contro-
versy Is hoped for. The same senti-
ment was expressed at the hotels,
where are quartered the few repre-
sentative officials Of the trainmen
and hremen now in the city. Counsel
for both sides spent yesterday after
noon in conference, but no agree
ment was reached. The keynote for
amicable settlement was sounded by
Judge Adams himself in rendering his
decision yesterday. He said:
II cannot conclude this opinion
without expressing the sincere wish
Of the court that il the parties are
unable to adjust their differences BY
such mutual concessions as are neces-
sary to that end, the offer made In
open court by defendants counsel TO
submit the questions in dispute TO
the board Of arbitration provided for
by the act of congress Of 1898 VIII be
speedily accepted and another IN
stance Of rational and intelligent ad-
iustment Of business di1ieulty be
exhibited TO an expectant public"
Jndge Adams began reading his de-
cision, which contained over 1000
words, at 1910 O'Clock. and concluded
~ 1850.

Of the dissolution Of The temporary

Jne- case. Most notably was this so
in respect to the charge brought by
the Wabash company that the de-
PENDANTS were conspiring together,
in violation of the federal laws, to
secure the recognition of their labor
organization. The court said in this
connection: "After considering all
the evidence bearing upon the issue
now under discussion, and carefully
weighing the foregoing and all the
arguments of counsel, am not able
to find the existence of the con-
spiracy to secure recognition as
charged"
Judge Adams announced that court
would be in session and retain juris-
diction of the case, IF desired, SO
that in the event of any molestation
Of, or interference with, interstate
commerce or the mail service, all its
lawful powers may be invoked to re-
strain the same, with the confidential
assurance that they will be fearless
" and effectively exercised"
Grand Master Mammalian, Of the
firemen, arrived yesterday afternoon
from indianapolis. He was noncom-
initial, saying: II have absolutely
nothing to say at the present time"
While none viii express his opin-
ion as to the next probable move
ment on either side, remarks
dropped indicate that every effort is
going to be made by each side to eff
feet settlement between themselves
and avert strike. But II settlement
Is not effected the understanding
seems to be general that q strike is
sure to result.
