DISREGARD OF OLNEY. No Attention Given the Attorney General’s Union Labor Letter,*' READING RAILROAD CASE. Judge Dalia* Bay* Brotherhood Employe* Have No Cause For Complaint Against the Bale of the Receiver* Requiring Retirement or Withdrawal From the Union —Quotation* From His Ruling. Philadelphia, Nov. 28.—Judge Dallas lias filed an opinion in the United States circuit court dismissing the petitions of Levi Hicks and other members of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, who desired to compel the receivers of the Philadelphia and Reading company to retain them in their employ and at the same timeallow them to remain members of the organization. In his opinion JudgeDallasmakes.no reference whatever to Attorney General Olney’s recent letter on the subject, in which the latter took the ground that the receivers were manifestly wrong in interfering with the employes as members of the union and in which the attorney general gave it as his opinion that the men had a perfect right to/ organize. Attorney General Olney also held that an organization of this kind was not only beneficial to the employes but to the railroad company as well. Judge Dallas reviews at length the petition of employes and the service given the company by some of the petitioners. He concludes therefrom that neither the association nor its chief officer had any legal standing to be heard in complaint of any action taken or proposed by the receivers, or to invoke or advise the disallowance of any measure adopted or contemplated by them in the performance of the duties assigned to them. They had made no contract with or through this association and none had been so made by the company. The Real Question.

Judge Dallas then takes up the brotherhood and says: The real question, however, is not whether the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen is or is not inimical to the general welfare, but whether these receivers should be ordered to retain its Inembers in their service despite the company’s pre-existing rule to the contrary and against their own unanimous judgment. If suqh an order ought to be made, it must be tiecause the action to be restrained injuriously affect the interests the receivers have in charge, or would be contrary to law, or unjust to those immediately concerned. If there is any ,qther consideration upon which the direction asked for could be based, counsel have not suggested it nor do I perceive it, “That the contemplated action is not unlawful is too plain for <orgument. That it contravenes public policy is asserted. But how can this be established? I know of no means of ascertaining the policy of the public in relation to personal rights but by consulting the pub-/, lie laws. This particular association is not a corporation; but if it was it would not follow, as seems to be supposed, that it would rightfully insist upon the retention of its members in the service of another corporation against its will.” Relies on the Receivers, Judge Dallas concludes as follows: “The rule complained of fey the petiSJ, tionerS was promulgated as long ago the year 1887, and the receivers emphatically assert their belief, which is not controverted, that no employe has since entered the service in ignorance of its existence, or joined the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen without being aware that by so doing he violated it. “It is possible there may be a few men—there cannot be many—to whom the strict enforcement of the rule would occasion some hardship. But no such case has been made known, and the answer of the receivers displays no vindictive feeling or disposition to harshness. I have no hesitation in relying upon them to deal fairly and discriminatingly with any ease which may reasonably call consideration.” Case will,furnish you the freshest and best drugs. . /
