BYXOP8IS OF HIS DECISION.
Milwaukee, April 7.—If labor organizations achieved
a
victory in
Omaha Thursday a* the hands of Judge Caldwell they were given
a
black eye by Judge Jenkins Friday when he decided the motion to amend his strike order and sustained his original order in every particular except that he struck out the clause which reads: "And from ordering, recommending, approving and advising others to quit the service of the receivers of the Northern Pacific January 1, 1894, or any other time.1' In all its essential features the original order is sustained. He takes an exactly contrary view to that of Judge Caldwell. The Judge's review of the case is complete and exhaustive and carefully covers everypolnt raised in the argument It is a sweeping victory for the receivers. The ludge was nearly two hours In delivering the decision.
Labor Organization* Denounced.
The decision is made noticeable by the pronounced stand taken by the judge on what is generally known as the "labor question." The vehemence of the language used, coupled with the general denunciation of labor organizations and their methods, will cause the order to be discussed in every section of the country. The decision contains fully 10,000 words, a large portion, however, being made up of opinions quoted from various decisions of other judges. After reviewing the case the judge says in his decision
Combined Capital and Combined Labor. "Id the dlicusslon of the Important and interesting questions presented by this motion it is not within the provinoe of the court to assume part in the contest between capital and labor which, It la asserted, is here involved. It may be that the aggregated power of combined capital Is fraught with dunger to the republic. It may be that the aggregated power of combined labor Is perilous to the peaoe of society and to the rights of property. It doubtless is true that lo the oontest the rights of both have been invaded, and that each has wrongs to be redressed. If danger to the stat exists from the combination of either capital or labor, requiring additional restraint or modification of existing laws, It Is within the peculiar province of the legislature to determine the necessary remedy, and to declare the general policy of the stato touching the relations between capital and labor. W that the Judicial power of the government 1bith
not concerned. But it Is the duty of
the courts to restrain those warring factions so far as their action may Infringe the declared law of the land, that society may not be disrupted or its peace invaded and that Individual aufi cotporate rights may not be infringed.
Injunction the Proper Remedy.
"If the combination and conspiracy alleged and the acts threatened to be done in pursuance thereof are unlawful, it cannot, I think, be successfully denied that restraint by Injunction is the appropriate remedy. It may be true thul a right of action at law would arise upon consummation of the threatened injury, but manifestly such remeuy would be inadequate. The threatened interference with the operations of the railway, if carried into effect, would result in paralysis of Its business, stoppin* the commerce ebbing and flowing through seven states of the union, working Incalculable Injury to the property and causing great public privation. Pecuniary compensation would be wholly inadequate. The Injury would be irreparable. Compensation oould be obtained only through a multiplicity of suits against 18,000 men scattered along the line of this railway for a distance of 4,400 miles. It is the peculiar function of equity in such casts, where the Injury would result not alone in severe private but in great public wrong, to restrain the oommlsslon of the threatened acts and not to send a party to seek uncertain and inadequate remedy at law. "That jurisdiction rests upon settled and unassailable ground. It is no longer open to controversy that a oourt of equity may restrain threatened trespass Involving the immediate or ultimate destruction of property, working irreparable injury, and for which there would be no adequate Compensation at law. It will in extreme cases, where the peril is Imminent and the danger great, Issue mandatory Injunctions requiring a particular servioe to be performed, or a particular direotlon to be given, or a particular order to bo revoked, in prevention of a threatened trespass upon property or upon public right*. "I need not enlarge upon the subject The jurisdiction is beyond question is plenary and comprehensive.
Punishment for Contempt Not Kuouifh.
The judge then cited several authorities and continued: "It would be anoniMous Indeed if the court, holding this property in possession in trust, could not proteot it from Injury and could not restrain interference whloh would render abortive all efforts to perform the publio duties ebarged upon this railway. "It was suggested by counsel that as improper Interference with this property during its possession by the court is a contempt, punishment therefor would furnish ample remedy, and that therefore an injunction would not lie, This is clearly an erroneous view. Punishment for contempt is not compensation for an injury. The pecuniary penalty for oontumaoy does not go to the owner of the property injured. Suoh contempt is deemed a publio wrong and the fine inures to the government The injunction goes in prevention of wrong to property and injury to the public welfare the fine, in punishment of contumacy. The writ reaches the Inchoate conspiracy to injure and prevents the contemplated wrong. The proceedings In contempt is ex post facto, punisbiug for a wrong effeoted."
"So Right to Quit When He Pleases.
The judge then reviews the conditions that gave rise to the Issuance of the writ. Continuing he says: ''There would seem to exist in some minds a lamentable misrepresentation of the terms 'liberty' and 'right.' It would seem by some to be supposed that in this land one has the constitutional right to do as one may please, and that any restraint upon the will Is an Infringement upon freedom of action. Rights are not. absolute, but are relative. Eights grow out of duty and are limited by duty. One has not the right arbitrarily to quit service without regard to the necessities of that service. His right of abandonment Is limited by the assumption of that service, and the oondltlons and exigencies attaching there to. "Ordinarily the abandonment of service by an individual is accompanied with so little of inconvenlenoe, and with such slight resulting loss, that it Is a matter of but little moment when or how ho may quit the service. But for all that the principle remains, recognized by every Just mind, that the quitting must be timely and decent, In view of existing conditions. If what I have stated be oorrect as to individual action the principle applies with greater foroe to tba case of a combination of a large number of employes to abandon service suddenly and without reasonable notice, with the result of crippling the operation of the railway and injuring the publio. The effeot In this particular Instance would have proven disas

trous. The labor organizations aro said to represent three-fourths of all the employes upon the railways within the United States—an army of many hundred thousands of men. The skilled labor aeoessary to the safe operation of a railway could not be readily supplied along 4,00(3 miles of railway.
Could Not Pill Their Place*. "Tho difficulty of obtaining substitutes in the place o! those who should leave the servico would be Intensified by the fact asserted and oonceded at the argument that no member of these large organizations would dare to accept servico in the place of those who should leave, because such acceptance would be followed by expulsion from their order and by social ostracism by their fellows. If this conspiracy had proven effective by failure on the part of ihc court to issue its preventive wrtt, this vast prop, erty would have been paralyzed in Its operation, the wheels of an active oommeroe would have ceased to revolve, many portions of seven states would have been shut off in the midst of winter from the necessary supply of clothing, food and fuel, the mails of the United States would have been stopped, and the general business of seven states and the commerce of the whole country passing over this railway would have been suspended for an indefinite time. All these hardships and inconveniences it is said must be submitted to that certain of these men, discontented with the conditions of their service, may combine and conspire with the object and intent of crippling tho property, to suddenly cease the performance of their duties, tt Is said that to restrain them from so doing is abridgmenx of liberty aud infringement of constitutional right I do not so apprehend the law. I freely concede the right of the individual to abandon service at a proper time and In a deoent manner. I concede the right of all the employes of this road, acting in concert, to abandon their servioe at a proper time and in a decent manner, but 1 do not concede their right to abandon such nervioe sud denly without reasonable notice.
Strikers llltterly Condemned. "The second branch of the action has reference to the writ of injunction issued upon the supplemental petition of tho receivers restraining any combination or conspiracy from having for its purposo the inagu ration of a strike upou the lines of the railway operated by the receivers and from ordering, advising or approving by communication or Instruction or otherwise the employes of tho receivers to join In a strike. This part of the motion preseuts the issue whuther a strike Is lawful. The answer must largely depend upon tho proper definition of the term."
The judge then cited the various definitions of the work strike aud dwelt upon strikes in general. He said he knew of no peaceful strike, and that no strike was ever heard of that was or could be successful unaccompanied by intimidation or violeuce. lie continued: "A strike without violence would ecjtxil the representation of the tragedy of Hamlet, with the part of Hamlet omitted. The moment that violenco becomes an essential part of a scheme, or a necessary means of effecting the purpose of a combination, that moment the combination otherwise legal becomes Illegal All combinations lo interfere with perfect freedom in tb^ proper management and control or one's lawful business, to dictate the terms upon which such business shall be conducted, by means of threat* or by intenference with property or traffic, or with the lawful employment of others, are within the condemnation or the law."
Makes
a
Slight Modification.
Judge Jenkins then, referring to the clause in the supplemental injunction, which enjoins any one from ordering, recommending, approving or advising others to quit the service of the Northern Pacific railway, and which has been characterized as wholly unwarranted, said the clause was inserted out of abuudant caution, that the meaning of the court might be clear, that there would be no unwarrantable interference with the property, no intimidation, no violence, no strike. Since this language of the writ in this respect had been misconstrued and the restraint in tended was in his judgment comprehended within tho other provisions of the writ, the motion in that respect would be granted and the clause stricken from the writ. Jn all other respects the motion would be denied.
TO TREAT ALL ALIKE.
Judge Dundy Says Union Pud lie Men Will Have Justice.
Omaha, Neb., April 7.—The American Railway union has made application in the United States district court to have the salaries of the members oi the order on the Union Pacific road, which were cut last August, restored to the old rate. Judge Dundy was visibly excited wheu addressing the attorneys from the bench. Ho said: "If it is stated that such a cut has been mada in the wages of these men connected with this organization—or outside of it—on this railway, when others who are drawing higher pay hava been so highly favored, I will see that those who are drawing less pay will bo treated tlie same way and 1 will advisi that the old pay be restored. Still, it is but fair to the other side that they should have no* tice. You have to rely a great deal on the testimony of railway men in these cases, and they should havo uotico, and I suggest the propriety whon Mr. Dickinson returns of making the order. "Now, I have got myself into difficulty, as you can readily see, by following tho example Judge Jenkins made in the Northern Pacific case, when he allowed a schedule reducing the pay and fixing In the order thai the parlies were bound to comply with it whon no notice, not a minute, was given. I do not propose to got myself in that shape again ana be denounced In open court where I have to preside at times. 1 followed his order, though mine was less stringent than his when he did not give the men a minute's notice, and now I am denounced all over the country for doing the very tliiug he did, when I was following a precedent beset My term of oourt commenoos at Norfolk on Monday, but if necessary I will postpone that in order to have a speedy bearing In this ease."
In conclusion Judge Dundy said: "If you want to make application to have the old pay restored, I want you ond evory other one of tho employes on the road to understand that if they have been wronged by tlie reduction that they will not have to join any union to get a hearing, because, an I have said before, 1 will hear one person that has a grievance or I will bear 100, or 1,000 or 4,000—as they claim to have in this union—and I will make no distinction between the parties."
A Drunken Man's Crime.
Chicago,
April 7.—Arthur Laperle
shot and instantly killed Mrs. Einma Levi and then put a bullet into his own brain. He will probably die. The tragedy occurred at 9 o'clock Friday night at 474 Warren avenue, the home of Mrs. Levi's father, John It Allen. The only cause that has been given for Laperle's «ct is that his attentions to Mrs. Levi, who had been divorced from her first husband, were not welcome to her family, chiefly bccause he was addicted to the use of stimulants. He was under the influence of liquor when the deed was committed.

T.-~
On last
Wednesday about 000 unemployed men applied to Mayor Kllert, of •San Francisco, for assistance in getting aeross tho bay at Oakland, where they expected to secure transportation on freight trains to the east. The mayor contributed f'ift and the regiment was sent over to Oakland. Upon arriving at Oakland the army found that the Southern l'.ieilic railroad would not allow them lo ride on its train, so they camped In tho Mills Tabernacle and waited. The people of Oakland fed them and f200 was raised to pay their fare to Sacramento. Arrangements were made to have them start at 6 o'clock Friday night. When, however, the army found that it was to be transported in box cars, the men rebelled aud refused to leave unless passenger coaches were provided, so the army marched back to the tabernacle. The authorities tried to secure passenger coaches, but the railway officials refused to furnish them for the §200 and all negotiations were declared off.
Prepared to Drive Them Out.
It was decided to got rid of the army immediately ut any cost, avoiding bloodshed if possible. Mayor Pardee called a meeting of the council and a plan of campaign was decided upon. Chief Police Schaefer was ordered to drive the army out of tho town by force, but as he could only muster twenty-five men at that time he reported that his force was not large enough. The mayor then telegraphed to the governor at Sacramento to have the militia called out. while the chief consulted with SheriiY McKillican, who agreed to swear in all necessary deputies in order to keep the peace. In the meantime Maj. Frank O'Brien, commanding the First battalion of the Fifth regiment, was Mimmoued to the city hall and notified to prepare for action. Maj. O'Brien at once repaired to the armor}' and his officers were summoned to duty. He notified the police that he would be ready to report for duty with two companies the moment he received word from the governor or adjutant general. Under the direction of Maj. O'Brien a Gatling gun was also placed in front of the, cito hall aud loaded for action. The gun was placed in charge of militia men, with instructions to take no action until word was received from the major in command.
Tlie Tocsin Sounded.
At 2 o'clock a general alarm was sounded on the fire bells and the, citizeus hastened to the city hall. There about 1,200 were sworn in as deputy sheriffs ami were armed. The fire department also responded and were armed. Then the eitj*'s forces marched to the tabernacle, where the army was peacefully slumbering. The men were awakened and ordered to move out They refused and things looked ominous. Consultations were held on both sides.
Arrested the Loader.
Finally the police arrested Leader Keli\,and se\eralof his men and penned the rest of them up in a corner of the tabernacle. They still refused to move unless their leader was returned to, them, and the police held another consultation. At last they decided to release him, and Kelly was carried back on the shonlders of his men amid enthusiastic cheers, lie made a speech to his followers counseling moderation and asked them to comply with the demands of the people of Oakland
Left the Town.
In the meantime arrangements had been made with the Southern Pacific for eight box cars. Acting under orders the industrials agreed to submit peacefully, and at 3:20 a in. formed a line and, escorted by 200 farmed police and citizens, marched to Sixteenth street station, where they entered the box cars and shortly after 4 o'clock the train pulled out for Sacramento.

The men were all in good spirits and seemed wholly unmindful of the dreary prospect of an overland march to the national capital. Gen. Frye said he was not in the least disconragad by the action of the railways in refusing to carry him and his men.

Co.'b review says: "Improvement In business has continued since the president's veto, which has been sustained in the house, but the best news or the week is the great decrease in the number and importance of the failures.. The number was SMWO in January, l,i!02 in February and 1,00.') in March. The commercial liabilities were f3l,H2U,8tvr in January, 917,080.4111 In February and H4.7M fua in March Nearly half the commercial liabilities were of firms failing during thellrsi month much more than half of the inulii., liabilities, 54 per cent as the full stau-mcnt shows 42 per cent, of the manufacturing liabilities, and 40 per cent, of the other commercial liabilities Moreover, nearly two-thirds of the banking liabilities were of failures in the first month und over half of the railroad liabilities. Though the number or commercial failures, 4,'2yr it) the United States, was never equaled In any quarter until the third of last year, the average of liabilities is only £14,890, which Is lower than has appeared In tho records of thirty-eight yeurs at any lime closely succeeding any serious reverse The degree of commercial soundness and health thereby indicated gives ground for hope that the liquidations consequent upon the disaster of 1803 have been in large measure accomplished. "Wheat has been lifted about 4 cents by reports of serious iujury to the plant, but the accounts are more than usually conflicting and there Is much uncertainty about the extent of the Injury. Corn has declined l'i cents While pork has risen 60 cents, with lard a shade belter. Tho failures for the last week have been 240 in the United States, against 105 last year, aud ^0 In Canada, against Ii8 last year.
ISradHtreet Not So Hopeful.
Bradstreet's says: "Special telegrams from important distributing centers report general trade quite irregular, previous gains having been followed by shrinkages iu many instances. There is a slight gain in business at Pittsburgh in staple merchandise, as well as among manufacturers of bessemer, pig aud billets. "The delay of expected revival In trade at Cincinnati, Detroit and Louisville has had a depressing influence, and is aided by unseasonable weather: but business is reported at Indianapolis, and the expectation is for a good spring trade. Chicago jobbers In ootton dress fabrics, silks, hardware, clothing and lumber report Increased sales, but at St. Louis unfavorable weather has checked the demand for dry goods and millinery and kindred lines, although expectation is for an improvement in the demand because country siocUs are not large Kansas City reports considerable activity in general lines, as does Omaha, where improved weather and good roads have stimulated business. Planting throughout Nebraska is being pushed, but the crops need rata At both cities last mentioned livestock interests have improved.
Many Strikes On.
"The industrial feature of the week is found in tblrty-one strikes throughout the country, involving 40. ou.) employes, principally among building trades at New York and Chicago, textile Industries a*. Patersou and New York, and coal mines and coke operatives In western Pennsylvania aud farther west Noticeably large increases in the number of small strikes weekly have taken tho place of resumption of industrial establishments.
Hank Clearings.
"While bank clearings for March, (8,765,000,00^, are 10 per cent, larger than iu February they average only 5189,000,000 dully, contrasted with €188,000,000 Jn February. Except for February last and September and August of 1808 last month's clearlugs total Is tho smallest in any month for six years it is 81 per cent less than in March, ib03 Three mouth's clearings aggregate 411,020,000,000,88 per cent less than last year. Out of seventy-seven cities totals for March and for three months at only five of the smaller cities show gains compared with last year. Bank clearings this week aggregate frOjO,000,0X1, 28 per cent more than last week, but the total is 20 per cent less than In the llko week last year."

l'a., April
7.—The
groat coke strike is ended and the strikers have suffered a disastrous defeat. The leader* of the Slavs and Hungarians in this section are claiming that the strike was the result of a conspiracy of the Irish atiu (terinan element* of the region to get the Hungarians expelled from the coke region. The Slavs and Hungarians were brought to this country under contract twelve yours ago by „he owners of the coke works to break a strike, and since that time the wages of the miners and eokers have speedily declined. One very marked feature of tlie strike is that all the leaders of the organization are Irish, while the Irish employes of the region, numbering about 1,600, refuse to take any part in tho strike. The GerraanB also hold aloof. The Hungarians now allege that they have been led Into this strike, and incited to riot and bloodshed In order to work up a prejudice against them and cause the people to rise up and annihilate them or expel them.
