Jadxe Haxell Dissolves Injunction
 Agaanst the Switchmen's Union.
 Buffalo, N. T.. Dec. 13.-The decision of Judge HaSeil. dissolving an intunc- tion axainst the switchmen's union, is considered . most important one. as the case was test to determine now far the powers of the courts may pc exercised to restrain strike.
 Judge Hazell held that the LacKa- wanna failed to prove that the officers If the switchmen,s union had unlaw- fully urged the switchmeD to break their service contract with the Lack swanna, The consent of President Hawley of the switchmen's union to nou of the men with the fact that he would direct a strike Is not consider ed by Judge Hazell as an fncitement or inducement to strike.
 President Hawley said this evening:
 ssThere will pc no immediate step m th e part of the switchmen to strike. AIthou9h ss per cent of the men voted for d strike, I think it may yet be ayerted. In the West. several switch mems unions have withdrawn demands for more pay on account of the man. cial situation. I shall ask for an i'm meaiate conference between the union ana the Iackawanna- If such confer ence can be arranged, there Is little danger of a strike before January l..

or magnetic causes. Then, again, I under stand that a wireless sending station of high power cannot, as is the case with telegraphy by continuous cables and wires, be at the same time receiving station; or, in other words, messages can not be sent and receiving simultaneously: and. if this be so, I foresee the greatest difficulties in dealing with ono of the mat ters which cause constant trouble with any system of teegraphy-namely, the elimination and correction of errors and the constant demand for repetition of doubtful signals. For these and other reasons do not look upon wireless sys- tenn as a serious competition with cables.
 I am as much an admirer of the won derful results obtained by wireless teeg raphy as anyone, and appreciate most highly the efforts of those who have shown the way in this very interesting development of science, but I remain of my original opinion as to it's practical effort on cable enterprise--so far at least as l can form judgment under the ab- . normal conditions of secrecy which have from the first enshrouded the operations of those who have the conduct of tho wireless system. Wireless telegraphy will assuredly be of great value to the world in certain localities and for certain pur- poses but l think that instead of being harmful to cable enterprise it may on the contrary, be an assistance Indeed, we are now engaged under our concession from the Portuguese government, in an important subsidiary. wireless installation for moderate distances in a locality in which system of cables is for various reasons difficult and undesirable It was well said that if the order of discovery had been reversed and cables had come second in point of date to wireless sys- tenn. 1t would have been universally rec- ognized that cables were a fundamental and enormous improvement eliminating the difficulties under which a wireless system must labor
