STATE RAILWAYS TIED UP.
Engineers Of Victoria Roads Declined
to withdraw from Union.


MELBOURNE. Victoria, May S.-All the
state owned railroads of this colony were
tied up at midnight because of a
curious dispute between the government
and the railroad employees regarding the
right of the latter to affiliate themselves
with the Victoria trades hall, the head
quarters of trades unionism in the British
colony of Victoria. The employees OF the
railroads are practically civil servants, and
the government claims that in case OF a
strike in other trades affiliated with the
trades hall the railroad would be
obliged to strike in sympathy, and there
fore the government notified the railroad
men that unless they withdrew from the
trades hall they would be dismissed. The
Engineers Association replied that unless
the government withdrew its notification
they would strike, which they did, leaving
their locomotives wherever they happened

END OF THE BALDWIN CASE.
The Generals Disclaimer Accepted by
Secretary Root.

WASHINGTON. May s.-The War De-
partment to-day made public the report
of Colonel Mills on the alleged interview
with General Baldwin at Denver, together
with the Endorsement of Secretary Root.
The findings have been made public already.
The report deals with the methods of the
different newspapers in Denver and pro-
nounces the interview in which General
Baldwin is alleged to have criticised the
Filipinos and negroes fake"
Colonel Mills also says: II found General
Baldwin much chagrined at the notoriety
thrust upon him by this newspaper episode
and greatly Inundated at the thought that
any one would believe him guilty of the ut
terances alleged in these newspaper arti-
poor soldier as to be Indifferent to the
source of deep regret"
Secretary Roots Endorsement Is as fol-
lows: 1T appears by this very exhaustive
investigation. in which testimony was taken
under oath by duly authorized officers, that
the publication ascribing to General Bald
win statements rejecting upon the Filipino
soldiers in the service of the United States
and also upon the negro soldiers of the
United States, was false; that no such
statements were made by him. The papers
accompanying the report of the inspector
leave no doubt in my mind as to the cor
rectness of his conclusions. The report and
papers will be filed without further action"

DIR. CRUM MUST WAIT.
His Fees and Expenses VIII Not he
Paid Until Senate Acts.

WASHINGTON, May San account of
DR.. w. II. Crum's fees and expenses for
the month of April as collector of the port
of Charleston, s. c., was received to-day
at the Treasury Department. 1t aggregated
only $56.S9 and included in the regular
account of the Charleston office. Collector
Crum has been informed by the department
that his personal fees and expenses cannot
be paid at this time, the law saying: mo
money shall be paid from the treasury, as
salary, to any person appointed during the
recess of the Senate to fill vacancy in any
existing Office, If the vacancy existed while
the Senate was in session and is by law
required to be filled by and with the ad-
vice and consent of the Senate, until such
appointment has been confirmed by the
Senate"
Treasury officials hold that under this
statute DIR. Crum can receive no money
from the government as collector for fees
or expenses until his appointment shall
have been confirmed by the Senate. No
fixed salary is provided for the collector
of the port of Charleston, who receives his
compensation in the form of fees and ex-

shy Omsials of Companies Open Let
tiers end Attempt to Prevent Men
Joining the Union.

ST. LOUIS, May S-The Commercial Te-
legraphers Union of America to-day filed a
petition IN the United States District Court
asking Judge Adams to issue an injunction
to restrain the Western Union Telegraph
Company from discharging men belonging
to the union. The petitioners also ask that
the company be restrained from blacklisting
members of the union and from interfering
with them in any manner.

are also named as defendants, have I'M
lawfully combined and confederated to-
gether to- destroy the Telepraphers' Union

Union service all telegraphers who are
members. 1t is alleged that the officers are
interfering with the members Of the union
and by threats and intimidation are trying
to prevent the company's employees from be-
coming members of the union. The pc
tition states that the Western Union has
established and maintains a blacklist, on

GERS or chief operators of the company.
The immediate issuance of a restraining

PITTSBURG, Pa, May S.-All of the
union bricklayers in western Pennsylvania,
the members of the International Stone
Union, the members of the National Asso-
citation of Brick and Tile Makers of Amer
lea, their helpers, and the clay miners and
their helpers, all of which are affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor. will quit
work at noon tomorrow. The entire trouble
is on account of unionism. Fully fifty thou
sand men will be idle until settlement is
effected, and all construction work In west
ern Pennsylvania will be stopped. This
was decided tonight at a mass meeting of
the bricklayers and the stone masons.
The contention dates back to June /, 1891,
when a dissension arose among the men,
bers of the International Stone Union, re-
sulting in a division. The faction leaving
the international Stone Union organized the
National Stone Masons' Union, and since
that time the two associations have been
at loggerheads. The animosity has increased
in intensity until the stone masons of one
union would not work with the members of
the other.
