MITcHELL's VIEWS.
the Wabash Injunction tho
Most Remarkable Ever Issued.

Washington, March 10.-Jno. Mitchell
the president of the United dir Work.
ers of America, looks upon the %injunc-
ton restraining the officers Of a labor
union from issuing a strike order on
the Wabash railroad as the most rad
ical step yet taken by federal officials
In the affairs of labor organizations.
This order seems most sweeping"
said Mr.. Mitchell last night, and goes
much further h any other action OF
federal officials bearing on the acts Of
labor unions. 1t is h first time In his
tory hat an order has ever been is
sued against the officers of any organ
Ization restraining them from calling
union men out on strike. 1t emphasizes
the danger involved In officers OF the
government assuming unlimited power
In such matters. i think 1t will have a
direct effect on congress and insures
the passage Of an anti-injunction bill
at the next session."

trail and the chicago and Alton will be

trail and the Chicago and Alton will be
tied UP.
TIE possible strikes on the other
roads will not be sympathetic strikes
as the men of oil three roads have the
same grievance and will be equally
benefited by a victory. The trainmen
of the Chicago and Alton demanded an
increase OF 20 per cent. in wages last
December. The road offered to grant a
8 per cent. increase.
Turned Down Denna nds.
Soon after the Alton had turned
down the mems demands the Illinois
Central declined to grant similar de-
mands submitted by the trainmen In
its service. Next came the demands OF
the Wabash, the refusal of which has
resulted in the threatened strike at st.
Louis. 1t is said that the of
the three roads, at their secret confer
ence, agreed to make the first fight to
enforce an increase In pay on the
Wabash system. If the strike succeeds
and the demands Of the men are grant
ed, 1t is considered certain that the
other two roads will grant the same
scale of wages.
Ii the fight fares against the strik =
ing Wabash trainmen 1t is thought the
iiremen of the other two roads eventu-
ally will be involved.
The officers of the Brotherhood OF
Railway Trainmen and Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen are preparing a
statement to their members which will
be given out for publication tonight,
giving a short statement Of the case
as Ii now stands, advising them to con-
tinue loyal to the railroad company and
their organizations, and pay no atten-
tion to threats of any persons, or any
rumors put in circulation.

GORMAN TO LEAD.
Maryland Man Will Probably Be Chair
man Of Democratic Caucus.

Washington, March 1T is the gen.
eral opinion among democratic SEN
ators That Senator German will be
asked to resume his old place as chair
man Of the democratic caucus.
Another question which probably Will
be taken up is the appointment of a
member of the foreign relations COM
mittee to succeed Senator Bailey, tho
was excused from service on that COM
mlttee by the senate Tuesday last on
his own motion.
When he retired he suggested Sem
ator Clark of Montana as his successor,
and as there was no opposition the
suggestion was adopted and Senator
Clark was made a member of the COM
mittee. There is no objection to Sen
ator Clark as a member Of the commit
tee, but there is a feeling on the part
Of some Of the democratic senator's that
the designation OF n member OF so i'm
portant a committee should be left to
The caucus and not to an individual
senator. 1t therefore seems probable
that the caucus will ask to be allowed
to fill the place, and that Senator Clark
will be named by the caucus.
The vacancies on the steering COM
mittee will also be filled.

BRIDGE WORKERS STRIKE
Will Involve Calling Out of Thousands
of Men in the United States
and Canada.

Philadelphia, Pa, March "a general
strike against the American Bridge
company has beer called by the eXecu-
tive board Of the international AssO-
citation of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers. The order includes all con
struction work in the hands Of the
company throughout the United States
and Canada, and involves thousands Of
men In all sections.
New York, March 6.--An official Of
the American Bridge company said to-
day: The strike has been called with
out our receiving any prior notice Of
any trouble. SO far as we know the
strike is in sympathy with the hosting
engineers, and reports from our fore
men throughout the country show
everything is tied up everywhere In the
country We have always lived up TO
our agreements with the men in regard
to employment of unioa men, but the
unions have failed t~e-"STply US with
union men. The question for us to de-
eide now is whether TO employ non.
union men or stop work"

Speaker Henderson Is Denied.

Washington, March 5.-The decks
were cleared for final adjournment at
noon when the house at III
o'clock this morning. The storm which

ment Of the methods OF the senate

peaceful ending.
AS usual, the scenes in connection
with the closing attracted vast roWos
AS soon as the speakers gavel Tell
the democrats continued their program
Of flibustering by demanding a call or
the house on every proposition.
AS a roll call concluded, a remarkable
scene occurred. Speaker Henderson
yielded the gavel to Cannon, incoming
speaker, which brought forth great ap-
p!ause. Henderson retired to the speak
er's room, whereupon Payne arose n
offered q resolution Of thanks to the
retiring speaker for the able, impartial
and dignifed n in which he a
presided over the deliberations Of the
house.
Payne, in speaking to the resolution,
said, turning to the democrats, that he
considered 1t a high honor and privil-
| eye to be permitted to offer the resolu-
ton, pointing out that 1t was not the
first time such a resolution had come
from the majority side. AS he con-
cluded with a glowing tribute to Hen
derson, the republican side broke into
hearty applause, but there was dead
| silence on the democratic side.
Payne demanded the previous ques-
ton. Cochran, democrat, Missouri,
called for a division, then the ayes and
nays.
Amid Kisses from the republican
side and galleries, but Fl democrats
arose. Speaker Cannon 1t
required AZ to order the ayes and noes.
Upon the question Of adoption of the
resolution, Cochran again demanded a
record Of the vote. This time only IL
democrats Joined In the demand, and
the announcement that the resolution
was adopted was hailed with redoubled
applause.
The presidents veto Of the bill to
grant a right to construct a dam al

consent, the first granted since las
Thursday, referred to the committee or

lence in its worst form broke out anew
last night In waterbury as a result OF
the high feeling In connection with the
strike OF the motormen and conductors
Of the Connecticut Railway and Light
ing company.
This time il is murder, and Police
man Paul Mendlesohn IL the victim.
John w. Chambers, q non-union mo-
torman, was badly beaten over the
head with a revolver, and escaped by
running away and his conductor,
George Werndorfer, was pounded al
most into in~sensibility.
The scene OF the crime Is Isolated,
and when the car reached the end or
the line eight masked men sprang from
bushes and discharged their reviewers.
Officer Mendlesohn fell with a bullet
through his heart. -.
The motorman was attacked, and
leaped from his car with O cry of pain.
Some OF the men followed him, while
the remainder turned their attention to
the conductor. He IA thrown to the
floor OF the car and pounded and kicked
until he was almost unconscious. The
men then left him and Joined their
companions outside.
AS soon as Werndorfer regained his
feet and found the officer dead he
started the car back toward the city.
on the way he met another car, the
crew of which relieved the Injured
mar and hurried to the city for as
sistance.
A large force of police was hurried
to the scene of the shooting, but up to
midnight absolutely no clew to the per-
p%etrators of the crime had been found.
Shortly after midnight the search
ing officers came upon Motorman
Chambers. His h FAD was covered with
blood, but 1T was found that he had
been pounded upon the head with the
butt end of a revolver. The young
man told a startling story Of his ex-
periences. He said that as 500 as he
leaped from the car four men followed
him, firing their revolvers. He ran at
top speed for the swamps nearby, and
he discovered that his pursuers
gained on him he lay down. The muir
derers rushed by, but missed him
They soon gave up the search, where
upon young Chambers hurried from his
hiding place and started for the city
to give the alarm. He fell In with q
policeman, who conducted him in the
car barns, where Chambers had his In
juries attended to.
The police feel confident the shooting
was lone by Waterbury men. AL
though 1t occurred at a late hour in
the evening, the news spread rapidly
through the city and hundreds of peo-
pie hurried to the police headquarters.
Public feeling is running high.

WAS THERE A TRAlTOR7
Wabash Men Say Threatening Letter
Was Written by a Union Man.


st. Louis, March 9.-The Wabash sit
uation presents no new phase this
morning. The attorneys representing
the firemen and trainmen and union
leaders decline to say what the basis OF
their pleadings will be, but ii is stated
one of the grounds to be urged in asking
for dissolution Of the injunction will be
the denial of authorization Of the letter
sent to Wabash employees at the time
the vote was ordered, purporting to
come from the leader of the conference
committee and making threats against
the company.
Both Morrisey and Lee say they had
no knowledge Of this letter until 1t was
issued by the Wabash officials in their
plea for an injunction. Morrisey and
Lee intimate they know the author Of
the letter to be a member of their or
der, who Is q traitor to the brother
hood, and who wrote it to make grounds
for an injunction by the company.
The leaders are looking forward TO the
visit Of George Gould, who will be In
st. Louis Sunday and Monday. In their
opinion Mr.. Gould is coming to inquire
into the situation between the Wabash
n It's employees.

ference held recently by the trainmen

MAY BE a STRIKE.
Coal Operators and Miners in Illinois
Unable to Get Together.

Unable to Get Together.
Springfield, ILL.,, March 10.-The Unit
ed Mine Workers and coal operators
Of Illinois have failed to agree on the
scale in the northern fields and Will
hanson county, and there is talk of a
strike.
Such action would include all miners
and employees of mines In the state,
numbering $4,000.
When the joint convention was called
together the scale committee an
nounced its inability to agree on these
matters. The convention went over the
subject, and finally the operators re-
used to grant 10-cent increase de-
handed in the northern field and o.
cent advance in Williamson county.
They are willing to pay the Scent in
crease granted the state as a whole by
he Indianapolis convention, but no
more.
The whole matter was then referred
back to the joint scale committee. The
men in the two fields in dispute have
Cor several years been asking greater
Increases than the interstate confer
nee granted them, but have always at
he last minute given in. With every
other point settled by the miners and
operators, it is hoped a strike will be
aVerted.
