Former Employees of Badger Brass
Works Keep Away From the
Plant This Morning
NO VIOLATIONS REPORTED
Thirty of the Defendants Named i'm the
Injunction Served BY the Sheriff
and Deputies-Some Laugh
at Court Order

The new regime at the Badger Brass
Works-operating the plant under an
injunction from the Circuit Court
began Tuesday morning and so far
as can be discovered the men former
ly employed at the plant and their
sympathizers are going to obey the
orders of the Court. The customary
pickets which have been on guard at
the plant for weeks were not in evil
dence on Tuesday and no attempt
was made to interfere with any of the
few men who went to work in the
plant. There was not even a special
police officer about the point ali day
Tuesday and the man who passed
the buildings would never have COM
sidered for minute that the plant
was beset with labor troubles.
John Daily, the first man named ia
the petition of the company, by luck
happened to be the first man served
by the sheriff. Sheriff, Pfennig found
Daily just after the injunctions had
been placed in his hands Monday
afternoon0and when copy of it was
handed to the labor leader he simply
glanced through it and said: "This is
| not as large as some of those that
were served on me down East. I do
not think that it will have any effect
on the matter" He tucked the in-
junction fin his pocket and walked
away.
Other men on which the injunc-
tions were served threw them into a
waste basket, while others read them
very carefully. The documents served
contained not only the injunction of
the court, but also the affidavits of
the men who had been assaulted. and
this gave the linen line on the men
who are to be charged with these as
saults, If arrests are made. Some of
| the bestsknown members,of the unions
are named in these affidavits. It Ia
expected that all of the defendants
| will be served withlcopies of the i'd
junction before this evening. Many
of the copiesswere served at,the dance
held by the union men for the benefit
of the Badger employees at Germauia
Hall Monday evening. There were
more than twelve hundred people at
the dance and the injunction was
generally discussed among the men
and their friends.
Labor leaders in the city refused to
discuss the injunction this morning,
but they stated that they would an.
swer in court in due time. It is under
stood that some of the men named in
the injunction have named Calvin
Stewart as their attorney and will
seek to have the injunction modified.
The fact that some of the men eu-
Joined are special police officers has
brought new question into the case
and this may mean clash betweeR
state and local officials. None of the
special officers named in the injunc-
ton was seen about the Badger plant
Tuesday. It is stated that other
sensations are to be sprung in the
near future in connection with the la
Dor trouble, but no hint of the nature
of these cases has been given out.

Every vote would count. There
would be no graft-protected crime.

bicycles did not a little toward
creating general appreciation OF
and desire for good roads, and they
would have done more had 1t not
been for the mysterious blight which
fell upon the popularity OF those
very able little machines Just when
they seemed about to become an es.
sential and permanent part of civil
ized life. But the task which the
bicycle only began the more efficient
automobile has taken up. and now
it really looks as II long-standine
disgrace to the country. the condl
tion of its roads, was soon to receive
serious consideration. OF course. II
needs nothing else to be remedied,
for the question of good roads is one
with only single side. and when the
arguments are heard actions must be
taken.

that the automobilists are more in

Road TO Adirondacks.

A preliminary survey has been
made for macadamiZed roads, such as
are built by the State, through the
heart of the Adirondacks from Old
Forge to Blue Mountain. The gen.
eral plan proposes that the road shall
start from New York City, proceed
thence to Albany, to Utica, Remsen
Old Forge and Fourth Lake. The
road will then follow the northern
shores of Sixth, Seventh and Eighth
lakes to Blue Mountain.
The scheme is to return by way OF
North Creek to some point on Lake
George, and thence to Albany and
New York, the starting poinS. The
circuit will include all of the Fulton
chain of lakes and nearly all the
Adirondack and other resorts en-
route. 1t is said that this improved
highway will be built from the $50.
100000 fund recently voted by the
State for highway Improvements and
new State roads. There will be com.
paratively little to do in the way OF
new road building between Utica and
New York, as much of that distance
has already been covered by the State,
but the improvement along this
stretch will be extensive. The road
from Utica to Old Forge will be i'm.
proved by widening and macadamiz'
ing. Then through the Adirondack
Mountains, where the course follows
the highway, the road will be i'm.
proved, but for the most part the
road will be new.-Utica IN. "

RACE BETWEEN TRAINS.
Neither of the Engineers Needed the
.Brohe In Two" signal.


The following story was told last
week by J. ID. Mcnamara. assistant
general passenger agent of the Wa
bash Railroad:
From Clark to Mexico. Mo-, our
line runs almost parallel with that OF
the Alton. The distance is about
twenty miles. IL Is open country and
the grades are light. The going is
good and trains race with each other
a often as occasion offers.
zone day two long freight trains,
one on each road, reached Clark
about together A race. of course,
was in order. Passing Centralia the
Wabash engineer turned partly
around in his cab and noting that the
Alton man was minus a portion OF
his train gave broke in two
whistle signal for the Information OF
his rival. The Alton man, hearing
the signal himself turned in his seat
and observing that the Wabash train
was considerably shorter than when
the race began he pulled the throttle
open a notch or two more and smiled
dS llC lOOhtu lOTWdIu " the
contest. AS the speed of the Wabash
train continued to increase the Alton
man in a spirit of banter gave with
his whistle the broke In two signal.
AS there was no apparent effort made
to stop the signal was repeated
again and again was the signal
given by the racing enginemen.
'At length Mexico was reached,
both trains arriving there at the same
time, each engineer laughing at the
joke he would have on his competi-
tor when the break would be dis
covered. AS soon as he stopped at
the Mexico water tank the Alton man
called across the right of way:
How far you goin without your
tail lights?"
The Wabash man. observing for
the first time his own predicament,
said:
Gosh but l thought you was
whistlin' for your own hind end
'-Ditto, Bud!' exclaimed he of the
Chicago and Alton, as he noticed re.
gretfully that about two-thirds of his
own train was absent" Kansas
