RIGHTS OF UNIONS.

They Aro Upheld by Judge Caldwell in the Union Paoiflo Case.

A DECISION ON THE WAGES TROUBLE.

Tli« Employe* Favored at Every Point— They Can Asnewble and Confer— The Jurlat Proclalma Labor's

Equality with Capital.

"..'SYNOPSIS OF UI8 OPINION. OMAIIA, Neb., April 6.—Judge Cald well's decision in the Union Pacific wage schedule case has been rendered and Is a complete victory for the employes. Judge Caldwell's decision puts the old schedule of wages in force again. The employes had been restrained from striking against a reduction made by the receivers by an Injunction similar to the famous order of Judge Jenkins in the Northern Pacific case. The men fought the injunction in court and the result was the decision.

A Lengthy Document.

The United States courtroom was thronged with railroad men who listened intently to the reading of the opinion, which was very lengthy, comprising over 4,000 words. After stating the facts of the road coming into the hands of the receivers, Judge Caldwell says: "The relation of these men to the company and their rate of wages were determined in the main by certain written rules, regulations and schedules, some of which had been in force for more than a quarter of a century, and all of which had been in force substantially as they stand to-day for a period of eight years and mora These rules, regulations and schedules were the result of free and voluntary conferences neld from time to time between the managers of the railroad and the officers and representatives of the several labor organizations of the men in the different subdivisions or branches of the service.

A Word for Labor Organizations. "These labor organizations, like the rules, regulations and schedules, hud become established institutions on tho system many years before the appointment of the receiver. Two of tho ablest railway managers e\or in the service of this system aud probably as able as any this country has ever produced, S. It H, Clark and Edward Dickinson, now general manager of the road, testify that tdese labor organizations on this system had improved the morals and efficiency of tho men aud had rendered valuable aid to the company in perfecting and putting into forc^ the rules and regulations governing tho operation of the Union Pacific railway, which, confessedly, have made it one of the best managed and conducted roads in the country. "Among tho rules and regulations referred to and in operation when the receivers were appointed was one to the effect that no change should be made In the rules and regulations and the rate of wages without first giving to the labor organizations, whose members would be affected by such change, thirty days' notice or other reasonable notice."

Tried to Force a deduction.

Judge Caldwell then recites how the receivers went into court last January to force a reduction on the schedule of wpges, aud states all the legal steps taken clown to aud including the hearing just ended.

Judge Caldwell then goes on to say that when a court of equity takes upon itself the couduct and operation of a great line of railroad the men engaged in conducting the business and operating the road become the employes of the court, and are subject to its orders in all matters relating to the discharge of their duties and entitled to its protection, and adds: "An essential and indispensable requisite to the safe aud successful operation of the roud is the employment of sober, intelligent, experienced and capable men for that purpose. When a road comes under the management of a court in which the employes are conceded to possess all these qualittcations—and that concession is mado In the fullest manner here—tho court will not, on light or trivial grounds, dispense with their services or reduce their wanes. And when the schedule of wages in force at the time the court assumes the management of the road is the result of a mutual agreement between the compauy and the employes which has been in force for years, the court will presume the schedule is reasonable and just, and anyone disputing that presumption will be required to overthrow it by satisfactory proof.

Receivers Acted Through Ignorance. "This, the court contends, has not been done by tho receivers, although they bad all recommended that a cut &e made. It is the court's belief that the receivers made the request ignorantly, as only one of them Is a practical railroad man, and their opinions upon the subject of wages sched ules is confessedly of little value. The court shares in their anxiety to have an economical administration of this trust to the end that those that own the property and have liens upon it may get out of it what is fairty their due.

Men-Must He raid Fair Wages.

"But to accomplish this deairablo result the wages of the men must not be reduced below a reasonable and just compensation for their services. They must be paid fair wages, though no dividends are paid on the stock and no interest paid on the bonds. "It is a part of the public history of tho country, of which tho court will take judicial no* tlce, that for the first 136,000,000 of stock Issued this company received less than 2 cents ou the dollar, and the profit of construction represented by outstanding bonds was (42.929,828.34.

Slap at Stock Waterer*.

"There would seem to be no equity in reducing the wages of employes below what is reasonable and just In order to pay dividends on stock and interest on bonds of this character. The recommendation of tho receivers to adopt their schedules cannot be accepted by tho court for another reason. The schedule was adopted without affording to the men or their representatives any opportunity to be heard. This was In violation of the agreement existing between the company and the men, by the terms of which no change of the schedules was to be made without notice to the men and granting them a hearlug. This was a fundamental error.

Kecelvers First Broke the Contract. "The receivers were the first to break the contract between the court and Its em* ployes, but if the converse had been the oase the court oould not have dlreoted or enjoined tho men to continue in its service. Specific performance of a contract to render personal service cannot be enforced by injunction, by pains and penalties or by any other means. The period of compulsory personal service, save as a punishment tor crime, has passod in this oountry. In this country it is not unlawful for employes to associate, consult and confer together with a view to maintain or increase their wages, by lawful and peaceful means, any more than it was unlawful for the receivers to counsel and confer together

CRAWFOKDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, APRIL

the

purpose of reducing thetr wages. A corporation Is organized capital organized labor is organized capital: what is lawful for one to do Is lawful for the other to do. "In the opluion of the court the allowances made by the schedules now in force are Just and equiUble. The employes, under the present system, share the burdens of diminished business. When property 1s In the custody of receivers the law de» dares It to be a contempt of the pourt appointing them for any person to

Interfere with the property or with the men in thetr employ. No injunction order can make such unlawful interference any more of a contempt than the law makes it without such order.

IiiJunctlnuN Are Injurious.

"Such orders have an Injurious tendency, because they Intend to ereate the impression among men that it is not an offeuse to Interfere with property In possession of receivers or with the men In thetr employ unless they have been especially eni, Joined from so doing. This is a dangerous delusion. To the e/tcnt that a special injunction can go In this class of cases the law Itself imposes an injunction. For this reason no inJunctional order will bo entered in this oase."

After the decision had been rendered the engineers who had been attending the conference adopted a series of resolutions thanking Judge Caldwell for his fairness.

TROOPS RECALLED.

War In South Carolina Is OflU-lally Declared tc Ended. COLUMBIA, S. C., April 0.—The war in

this state, BO far as the uprising- in Darlington Is concerned, is over, as is proven by the action of the governor in recalling tho troops from the troubled counties and in the issuance of a proclamation declaring martial law in the counties of Darlington and Florence at an end.

There is yet to come much trouble, it is feared, in the matter of the mutiny of the militia forces of tliu state, or rather the refusal to obey Uov. Tillman's orders. -Only eighteen companies out of the entire force in the state responded to tho call. The governor says in some cases courts of inquiry will be necessary, but in most instances he will need no inquiry into the disobedience of orders. The governor has set the ball in motion to reorganize the statq militia service, lie gave orders to Assistant Adjt. Gen. Watts and Col. Mixson to proceed to Charleston and proceed to collect all the rifles and other state property which is in the hands of the companies of the Fourth brigade, the crack military corps of the state. The brigade refused to respond to the call of the governor. This disarming of the entire militia force of the state, which did not respond to Tillman's orders, will doubtless continue until all are without arms and equipments.

DARLINGTON, S. C, Aprils.—The coroner's jury has rendered a verdict to hold McLendon for the killing of Normont, Cair for the killing of Redmond, and that Redmond killed Pepper. The military court will first submit its report to (iov. Tillman, but it is understood to concur aS to the facts as they have been published.

The bill appropriating 11,000,000 for the destruction of the Russian thistle was discussed until 2 p. m., wlieu consideration of the tariff bill was resumed.

Tlie house passed the senate bill to give effect to the award of the Paris tribunal, prescribing regulations for the protection of fur seals in Hehriug sea. The urgency deficiency bill, which carries something over $1,0U0,GU0, was passed with one important amendment providing for the continuation of the work of the census bureau until March 4, IBfiS," and providing for the publication in a condensed volume of 250 pages of an abstract of all the data procured bv the census.

THEY WEAKEN.

Tha Striking- Coko Workers Quieting Down.

Are

CHECKED BY THE ARREST OF LEADERS

Several Hands Continue Their Work of Depredation and Intimidation. But It .'"I* Thought the Backbone of tho

Strike Is Broken.

OUTLINE OF THE SITUATION.: UNIONTOWN, Pa., April 0.—The situntion in the coke region Thursday was that of the. battlefield after the battle, both sides standing aloof from danger, but at night there was an oraer issued for a general rallying of the men from one quarter of the rcgiou to the other, and the response will decide the continuauce or abandonment of the strike.

The arrest and imprisonment of a hundred of the riot leaders, among whom are President L. K. Davis aud Secretary Dauiel Darby of the Mine Workers' association, have spread discouragement in the ranks of the rioters, and it was at first thought would cause them to lay down their arms aud return to their homos. This thought, however, was abandoned Thursday morning when two mobs of nearly 1,800 men eacli started for further raids among the plants still in operation.

During the night the whole country around was in a state of suspeuse, it having been given out that between 12 o'clock and morniug the rioters would march on the Moyer works of W. J. llainey, where 150 deputies awaited their coming, and where the company was prepared to tight a decisive battle.

Arrest of tho Leader.

Shortly after 11 o'clock, while standing outside the camp ground. President L. R. Davis, who had been leading the mob to action, was taken into custody by Sheriff McCann and Deputy Oay, of Westmoreland county, and driven in a buggy to Connellsville, where he was retained in tho lockup over night. The news of his arrest caused a delay of operations, and the mob spent the night bleeping on the ground under cover of the forest. Not a move was made until nearly noon Thursday, when Alexander Markey was made the leader of the strike.

Cowed

by tlie

.Sheriff.

At 11 o'clock the men started on a tour of the Mount Pleasant branch, where every plant is in operation. They supported the American Hag, and the inarch was characterized by all manner of riotous deinonatraLions and threats of violence. Tho Huns were furious aud insisted on the destruction of property at the Bessemer works. Near West Overton the mob halted and the lead ers haraugued the in with words of encouragement When about to make au attack Sheriff McCann and IUQ armed deputies put iu their appearance and the mob lied in confusion. They reassembled, however, and continued their march. In the pub ie square at Mount Pleasant a meeting was held but no violence attempted. Sheriff McCann and his deputies were there and stood guard at the roads leading out of the town. Leader

Markey dismissed the rioters there and ordered them to reassemble at Scottdale at night for raids ou the plants on the Sewickley branch of the Pennsylvania railroad.

In the southern end of the region the mob has been committing depredations and the seat of war here is at the Mount Braddoclt works of W. J. Kainey. near Dunbar. Eighteen hundred infuriated men are t*ncatnped on the hill there and foraging squads are scouriug the country, robbing homes and stealing every thing they can' get their haudsou. The people have been subjected to inhuman indignities and are living iu a state of peril. The rioters have been encamped for several days,

I'm**

to Get Keorult*.

Thursday morning they started out at daylight and made a raid ou the Mount Braddoek works where the men were entering the mines. The plant was completely overrun and the yard was black with howliug 11 tins. The workmen were carried from the yards aud given the alternative of being strung up to trees or joining the strikers. The men were unwilling to yield, but when the ropes were got ready they gave in aud became a part of the mob. The tools and hose were destroyed. The men then marched to the 11 ill Farm mines of the Dunbar Furnace company, where the men were working under the protection of deputies. They diil not stop lor threats, but swept down on the plant like a cyclone. The deputies were bewildered and the workmen were forced into line with the strikers against their will. Not a shot was fired. It illustrates the helplessness of civil authorities to cope with such a gang of ignorant foreigners.

Found Eight Itmiion.

A sensation was caused here Thursday by the announcement that the bodies of eight Huns were found about 10 o'clock in a wood near Dawson. This was the sensation of the day. Where the bodies came from or by whom they were killed is not known, but there were bullet holes through each body, indicat ing that they had been the victims of a battle. They were lying in different parts of the wood, where they are supposed to have fled after the fight at Hradford Wednesday night, in which one Hungarian was killed and many others wounded. The bodies have been identified as those of strikers who were engaged iu the ill-fated assault on the Davidson works, where Engineer l'addock was killed. Their bodies aro still lying at Dawson, where inquests will beheld by the coroner at once.

Reports received at a late hour show that the strikers are disbanding at every point and the men appear comelely subdued. The authorities, 'jo%^ ever, will take 110 chances and armed guards are everywhere, while citizens in every town in the region aro walking around with guns and rifles in anticipation of trouble at any moment.

ABSOLUTE!* PURE

Coxey'a Army Oaluinif New Recruits in Pennsylvania.

COMMONWEAL IS NOW bOO STRONG,

Wtth Hanks Depleted |»y l«»rrtion* ami ArreMt*, But with Cotorn Flying, the Army Leaves Allegheny—Welcomed to Homestead.

I'ROOKKSS OI' ITS MAliCII.

HOMESTEAD, Pa,, April rt. Coxey'a army encamped here Thursday night It now numbers nearly 000 men. Most of the new recruits joined the commonweal on reaching this point. Desertions and arrests at Allegheny depleted the force to but few more than 200 men. Altogether Allegheny arrested sixty-eight of Coxey's men. All but six of these went to the workhouse for terms varying from thirty days to three months.

Kscorted by a Small Army.

Hours before the army was ready to break camp at Allegheny the streets wero filled with people. Among them, keeping carefully out of sight of the police, were over 100 of Coxey's men waiting a chance to rejoin. It was long after 10 before the army was ready to move.

At last the order to march was given. The army was led by the amalgamated lodges of the south side who wore their bndges. Just outside the park C. A. Burroughs had 500 men, forming the Pittsburgh and Allegheny encort, drawn up on South avenue. The Keystone drum corps headed this delega tion.

The main body of tho army of the commonweal numbered 207 men. Tho commissary and baggage department* brought up the rear. The route traversed by the army was down South avenue, Allegheny, to Union bridge, to Duquesne way, to Sixth, to Market, to Fifth avenue, to Smithlield, across to Carson and thence to Homestead.

Cheered h}* the Populace.

The entire line of march was lined with people, 100,000 being 011 the streets. From start to finish the crowd was enthusiastic and cheer after cheer greeted the column. The commissary wagons soon dropped far behind, for nearly every bakery shop and feed store the army passed contributed to the commonweal. liefore the Smithfield street bridge was passed every wagon was filled to overflowing and another was chartered.

K.-ITIIUA nt ICvi-ry Town.

Coining after the troublous times at Allegheny all this was cheering to the army. The farther they got from the suburbs of Pittsburgh and Allegheny tho more cheerful the men became. Almost every turn of the road to Homestead found another little group of Coxey men who had dodged the Allegheny police. Every group got a cheer. It was not long before the commonweal had regained all its old men. Sixty were missing, but they were of the kind that could be spared. The march to Homestead was the greatest solace to the cowed army that it could have. As it moved along the bank of the Allegheny river every steamer, canal boat, train and factory that was passed saluted the commonweal.

As the Coxeyites ueared Homestead they were met by a troop of sympathizers 1)00 strong, hc. oed by a brass band. Just before Homestead was reached it began to rain, and the march was finished in a regular downpour. The artny camped for the night on the river bank.

The commonweal had no sooner found habitation than sympathizers began to arrive with commissary supplies. Great quantities were received. Two young men, named William Evans and Lawrence Ueffner, had voluntarily been about soliciting supplies. They presented themselves at S o'clock with five bushels of potatoes, one barrel of crackers, one bushel of coffee, thirtyone loaves of bread, twenty-five pies, some needles and thread. Others brought tobacco, milk and many other things.

Commonweal I IKS GOO Member*.

Ali afternoon the recruiting officer, Frank Hull, was busy enrolling the new men l*p to (1 o'clock he had taken in 204 men. At 8 o'clock Marshal "Louis Smith" said that the commonweal had 000 members at the very least. There is every indication that he is within the limit. During two hours iu the afternoon a careful private account was kept, and in that time the enrollment by trades was as follows:

Laborers, 40: storekeeper, 1 farmers, 3 eigarmaker. 1 student, 1 machinists, 0 potter, 1 farriers, 7 stone mason, 1: clerk, 1 teamsters, a molders, puddlers, 8 carpenters, S shoemakers, 4 plasterer, 1 musicians, 2 cooper, 1 polisher, plumbers, 2 glassworker, 1 firemen, 4: tool dresser, 1 ehairmaker. 1 chain maker, I tanner, I canner, 1 painter, 1.

Ordered to Leave.

ST. LOUIS, April 6.—At a meeting of the representatives of the railroads leading east it was decided to refuse to transport Frye's band of Coxe.vites eastward. In accordance with this decision the representative of "Gen." Frye was informed that his men would either have to pay fare or walk. Upon learning this decision the chief of police of East St. Louis, where the army is now in_ ctuiy), directed Fryq

just in from the locality of the Indian trouble reports the fighting still in progress. The soldiers have been engaged and at It o'clock Wednesday night fourteen soldiers and settlers hud been killed or wounded and twentyeight Indians were known to be killed.

The Indians are practically surrounded on the Wasluta river, but tho bushwhacking continues. Kach party is shooting at every opportunity. The sheriffs of and 11 counties have organized posses and gone to the assistance of settlers. All the soldiers from Fort Reno are now in the field except t.hreo troops of cavalry. The courier is from the sheriff of county, who sends for ammunition and assistance. His brother here has hastily organized a party and left at noon for the battle-ground. The continued fighting has greatly alarmed the people and the most inr tense exeitoinent prevails. Parties arn hastily organizing and going to the fight, and much alarm is expressed at the number of soldiers who have liecu killed.

CHICAGO, April 0. A telegram was received at army headquarters Thnrslay afternoon from Ciipt. Woodson, the Indian agent in charge of the Cheyennes iu Oklahoma, regarding the trouble there between the cowboys md Indians. Capt. Woodson said that the accounts of the trouble which have been telegraphed over the country from Oklahoma have been irreatly exaggerated. The whole trouble arose, he said, from a dispute which ended iu the shooting of Chief Hill and the killing by the latter ol a white man called Hreeding. The telegram which was dated Thursday at Fort Reno said the Indians are quiol and no serious disturbance is feared.
