record In a decision from the bench.
not only as recommending but actually
ordering a reduction In the wages OF
railway employees practically to one
dollar a day-He actually did order .
cut Of 10 per cent in the wages OF en-
ployes receiving over $35 per month
and those receiving over $1.10 day.
Thus. by Judge Taft's decision. man
receiving Sill a day would be reduced
practically to 81 day. The decision
was rendered by Judge Taft In the
case OF Thomas vs.. Cincinnati. New
Orleans and Texas Pacific railway,
Circuit Court. Southern District OF
Ohio, W. D., April 80, 1894, and Is TO
be found In Fed. Rep. ". 81. p. 669.
The action was one wherein the en-
ployes OF the road had applied to the
court to have rescinded an order OF
the receiver making 10 per cent re-
duction in their wages. His decision
was made without giving the employees
an opportunity to have their day In
court and show why their wages
should not be cut He held that the
mere 80 days notice OF reduction
given by the receiver WAS sufficient.
"They are now" he said, In his de-
cision. ito be put In the attitude OF
either accepting or rejecting the prop
osition by the receiver who employed
them at the reduced wages. IF THEY
ARE NOT CONTENT WITH THE
WAGES, THEY ARE NOT COM
PEELED TO ACCEPT THEM, AND
MAY RETIRE FROM HIS EMPLOY
MENT. They have no stand
Ina in this court, to call for an adjud-
ioation Of any rights"
Further on In his decision Judge
TAFT held in effect that the preserva-
ton OF the property and It's admins
tration In the interests Of those who
owned 1t was entitled to first consid-
GRAFTON. He then went on to say that
the receiver had consulted with the
court before making the reduction,
and that the court must presume that
the order was well made"
Later the employees appeared In
court and presented a petition pray
ing that the court direct the receiver
to modify this wage reduction. but
Judge Taft rendered an opinion deny
ing the petition. In effect he held
that an order making q change In pay
ment for overtime which operated to
reduce wages was not unreasonable.
and also that the payment of interest
on bonds must be considered before
the matter Of wages.
Thus Judge Taft first counseled a
reduction Of wages to what was prac.
tically a dollar a day. and then issued
an order approving such reduction. re-
fused 10 grant a petition for a mod
ification OF overtime charges reduc-
ing wages, and held In substance that
property rights we're superior to hui
man rights. His second decision ia
found In the Fed. Rep. v. So. pp. 21-24.
Judge Taft's decisions In this re-
spect are In striking contrast with
those OF other Federal judges under
similar circumstances. In fact. no
stands alone in the position which he
took.

JUVENILE COURT
SESSION HELD
TWO BOYS BROUGHT OVER FROM
IRON RIVER FOR HEARING
SENT TO STATE REFORMATORIES
One Goes TO the industrial School anc
the other Will Probably 60 to Reform
School
School

The first session Of the juvenile court
for Iron County was held In the office
OF the probate judge last Wednesday
with Judge Byers presiding. The ses-
sion was held TO consider the case Of
two boys brought over from Iron River
on charge that warranted careful
attention.
The boys are Sam Brown aged 13
years and Lester vanAIlen age rs.
The boys have been implicated in
several robberies in and about Iron
River during the last six months, their
last raid having been made upon the
restaurant Of W. NJ. Fotser where they
touched the till for Si4O.
This is but one Of many burglaries
that have been laid at their door. The
orth-Western depot, Fishers store
and several other business places have
been entered and suspicion pointed in
each case TO the lads aud in some of
the cases the evidence was complete
The several witnesses were examined
and Judge Byers took the matter OF
punishment under advisement. The
younger lad is to be sent TO the state
industrial school at Lansing. the
older boy is too old to be admitted TO
the Lansing institution but Judge
Byers is going to make an effort to get
him there rather than send him to the
industrial school.
Failing in this the boy will undoubt.
edly be sent to the reform school
The lads are held at Iron River to
await the action of Judge Byers in
the case.

a Big Snow Storm.

The heaviest snowfall Of the year
occurred on Wednesday last when over
foot of the beautiful came
down and seriously interferred with
traffic during the day. The storm
began about eight o clock on Tuesday
evening and was attended by south
east wind that whistled all night and
caused considerable drifting.
All trains were delayed. The Mil
waukee didn't get its passenger train
through to Charming until after supper
and the mail didn't arrive here until
40 o. clock. All freight trains were
abandoned during the day and efforts
concentrated on getting the tracks
cleared for passenger trains
The North Western train got in a.
bout 10 80. that road seeming to have
the best luck in battling with the ele-
ments.
