railroads will, according to- reports OF
the railroad managers, be rejected today

fused. Ia this contingency strike Il

NIT strike rather than to agree TO the
increase in operating expenses of &c.
900, 900 per year, which, they say, would
be the result of granting the mems de-
mands.
The demands OF the men will be pre-.

Is to place leaders OF the unions in the
position Of rejecting the advances al
ready rendered by the railroads. In THU
case, they believe public sympathy vii
be with the roads. Representatives o.

killing of her sister, Miss Ida Gsff, on
the night of November s, last, and
before twelve hours had elapsed the
state rested its case and the defense ID
expected to conclude this afternoon, and
the case given to the jury before night
fall.
A tilt occurred between the lawyer,
on the admission of confession by Mta.
Kelly, shortly after being taken to the
station house and which was taken down
By reporter for local paper, to the
effect that the snoOTiDg was me outcome
of the action Of her sister Miss Ida CAT,
towards Mrs. Kelly's husband. The
defense was oyerruled, however, and the
confession was allowed to go 10.
Mrs. Kelly throughout the proceed
lngs appeared deeply affected and wepI
bitterly at times, only being Quilted By
the tenderness and assurances of hel
attorneys.
BY the examination of several Of the
talesmen it was pretty conclusively
shown that the state does not intend t
convict Mrs. Kelly of frat degree murder

Taft,s labor Record.

Cincinnati, o., March rs When all
other obstacles have been removed tbeie
will remain Secretary TafPs labor record
as the rock upon which his boom may
split, according to republican enemies
Of the big Buckeye presidential. asPirant.
The celebrated Phelan case and the de-
cision he rendered, one Of the most i'm.
portsnt In the history OF trades union
ism, and which won for him the title Of
"injunctlon Taft, >" is the bug-aboo which
will likely hover over Taft.
The Phelsn case was an OutgrOwth OF
the big American Railway Union strike
in 1894. One of the main objects was
to compel the Pullman sleeping car com.
psny to make terms with its employees.
TAFT was presiding In the United States
Circuit Court, here.
The strike later tied up the railroads
contering here.
Receiver Fenton. OF the Cincinnati
Southern. appealed for an injunction
against Phelan, and the strikers. Judge
Taft issued an injunction against Phelsr
from "either as an individual, or in com
bination with others, melting, encourag.
ing, ordering or in any other manner
causing the employees of the receiver Ia
leave his employ with intend to obstruci
the operation Of the road"
Two days after the granting Of the TO-
junction Phelan was cited for contempt.
BE said he had only come here TO ex
plain the strike. Taft held t.at violencs
was not necessary to constitute contempl
of bis order and sentenced Phelsn TO ak
months in jail.
