JUDGE DAYTON
GIVES DECISION
Restraining Order Against Trustees
is Made Permanent and Sale
Cannot BE Consummated.
COURT WILL ORDER SALE
And Direct the Trustees As To All
Action Taken in Selling
Valuable Tract Of Coal.

An Important decision has just
been handed down by Judge A. G.
Dayton Of the United States dlstric;
court in the T. NJ. jackson coal lands
case, and the order has been sent to
Parkersburg to be entered on the
records Of the court, A copy OF the
decision has also been sent to the
court officers here.
Some time ago the trustees Of the
Jackson estate. John W, Davis. ]. E.
Sands and Ira f. Robinson, under
took to sell over four thousand acres
of coal belonging to Col. Jackson and
situated along the Short Line rail-
road near Dola. The sale was to be
made to c. E. Conway, OF Fairmont.
for $145 an acre.
Learning of this movement Col.
Jackson through the Third National
Bank of Cincinnati and the Union
Savings Bank and Trust Company,
creditors OF Jackson, applied for and
was awarded temporary order re-
straining the trustees from consum-
mating the sale. Jarkson's conten-
ton was that the price the trustees
were selling the coal at was less than
half Its real value. lie showed to the
court by a number Of witnesses and
other evidence that adjoining coal
sold at $500 an acre and some of It
was leased on the basis OF $1,000 an
acre in value. He asked the court
to prevent this sacrifice sale and pro-
tect his creditors, and in addition to
the evidence above referred to he in
troduced much evidence showing that
the coal is worth $500 an acre.
After considering the case num-
Der of weeks Judge Dayton now
hands down a decision favorable to
Col. Jackson and the creditors. The
court overrules the motion to dis
solve the restraining order. states
that the matter should be regularly
referred to a court commissioner 20
ascertain liens, priorlties and the list
Of creditors and that due publication
should be made advertising the sale
Of the lands. In addition Judge Day.
ton rules that the commissioner
should Investigate the acts Of the
trustees. He also decides that the
trustees must hold their sale OF the
land under the direction of the court
and that judicial confirmation Will he
necessary to make the sale made
hereafter complete.
The sacrifice sale by the trustees
Is set aside and they will be directed
by the court to make regular court
sale of the property.
Col. Jackson's contention is that
the property is really worth at least
s1,25O,ooO. while the trustees were
about to sacrifice 1t for about only
100000.

CHICAGO, H., Aug. 12-Both the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
Companies claimed today that more
men were at work and in better con-
dition than at any time since the
commencement of the strike OF the
operators. They said they were able
to take care of the business in fair
shape. Both companies, however,
posted notices that messages would
be only accepted subject to delay in
transmission.
The officers of the union claimed
the companies shave about one-third
of the number Of men at work they
claimed and have declared many Of
them telegraph students.
The decision of the operators in
New York. Washington and Boston
not to strike Immediately did not dis
concert the officers of the union.
Secretary Russell said 1T makes no
difference what the men East vote
to do. When the time comes they
will be ordered out and will come
out.
Superintendent Cook, OF the West
ern Union, OF this city, said there
will be no arbitration of the strike.
President Gompers. OF the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, arrived
here to aid the strikers in an ad-
visory capacity.
The officials of the Chicago local
union today declared they do not de-
sire to arbitrate the issues OF the
strike. They made the declaration
as soon as they learned OF efforts Of
officials Of the National Civic Fedora
tion to secure an Intervention ny
Commissioner of Labor Neil, and the
reported promise by General Presi-
dent Small to send his men back TO
work If the government will promise
to secure arbitration,
General Secretary Russell received
answers today from many Of the 135
local unions throughout this coun-
try and Canada, to whom he had
sent requests for a vote on the propo-
sition to call general strike. All
the messages received according to
Russell are in favor Of a general
strike.

er operators were at their places as
