NO SYMPATHETIC STRIKE.
But Railroad Photographers Won't
Handle Commercial Messages.

While the fear of a sympathetic strike of rail-
road telegra piers did not prove well founded
Yesterday the commercial companies received
no assistance from that direction At the
Grand Central three of the teegraphers on the
navroIl of the railroad refused to send CONNER
ciaI messages. telegram was received at the
beadouarters of the striking telegraphers from
the grand secretary of the order of Railroad
Telaeraphers saying that the members of that
order would stick by all contracts with the rail-
roads but would otherwise support the CONNER
cial teIegraphers in their struggle.
This means that there is danger of the
railroad systems being tied up by a strike of
ta,aqra nhers Such a strike while IT could
not in all probability. affect more than 90 per
cent of the railroad operators, would seriously
cripple the roads and delay the running of all
trains At the Grand Central yesterday it was
stated officially that the company had seen no
indications of a sympathetic strike among its
telegraph men. but that It did not view the
present situation without anxiety
When three men had refused to send CONNER
ciaI messag ges during the morning. the subject
had been promptly dropped. it said The
railroad would not attempt in any way to assist
the Western Union or the Postal companies dur
ing the strike as It realized that the orga nzed
la bor problem was particularly ticklish just at
present.
A large percentage of railroad operators IN
this part of the country belong TO the Order OF
Railway photographers All of these are on tho
payroIls of the railroad companies In small
towns. where there is only one telegraph opera
tor the roads have contracts with the Western
Union TO handle their messages. All Of these
men belonging the order of Railway Teleg-
raphers were notified by Grand Secretary Quick
yesterday that they must perform the same du-
ties now that they did before the commercial
strike but no more.

would perform all their railroad duties and

TO do so. But If the railroad officials tried TO
make them take the work of the commercial

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Supreme Court of this state
has just handed down an important
decision in the case of Spolek ct al.
vs.. Hatch, in regard to the rights of
purchasers of land under contract
for deed, where partial payment has
been. made, and the purchaser has
defaulted in payment of the balance.
This action was brought against the
defendant by the plaintiffs in the
Circuit Court Of Buffalo County, for
the purpose of securing the CANCEL
alton OF a contract for the purchase
of a whole section of land in that
county. The contract contained
the provision that time should be of
the essence of the contract, and that
in default of payment by the pur-
chaser as agreed be should forfeit
payments already made, and all his
right under the contract. Sub.
sequently to the execution of the
contract the parties by oral agree
ment extended the time of payment
for one year, and the sellers re-
NAMED in possession. At the expira-
ton of the extended time the buyer
failed to pay, aud more than one
year after such default this action
for cancellation and forfeiture was
brought, the plaintiffs never haying
given any notice that forfeiture
would be declared, and never having
made a tender OF deed, demanding
payment. The case was defended
by Warren q Warren of this city,
aud the case tried at Mitchell by
VIM. H. Warren of that firm. The
trial colrt gave judgment for the
plaintiffs, %decreeing cancellation of
the contract, and allowing the forfeit
ure asked. The attorneys for the
defendant took an appeal to the
Supreme Court, and the case was
argued last November, and decision
recently handed down. The case is
reversed, Diminishing the plaintiffs
action, not allowing a new trial.
Judge Carson writes the opinion,
holding that a forfeiture cannot be
declared, and a cancellation of the
contract decreed. ia cases where
there has been a waiver OF the ex-
press terms Of the contract. without
first having given notice that a
forfeiture would be- declared, giving
the buyer a reasonable time in which
to perform, and also rendering a
deed. The case is especially in.
teresting to the litigants owing to
the fact that land in Buffalo county,
as 10 other parts Of the state, has
practically doubled in value within
recent years.
