TUB MEMORIAL.
Philadelphia, July 12. The mem'
orial to be presented by the Knights of
Labor to Congress asking for the im
peachuient of Attorney-General Olney
is as follows :
" Your memorialists most respectfully
represent that they are residents of the
State of and of the United States,
unci that Richard Olney, head of the
Department of Justice of the United
Slates, has been guilty as such of high
crimes and misdemeanors, subjecting
him to impeachment and removal from
otlice in pursuance with the constitution
and the laws of the United States. The
said Kichard Olney, as such Attorney
'General, has counseled and advised and
has rendered the military power of the
general government within the State
of Illinois and other States of the United
States superior to the civil power of all
and each of said States ; has counseled
and advised and caused the Secretary of
War of the United States to introduce
into said State of Illinois and other
States aforesaid large bodies of armed
men, composing a part of the regular
army of the United States, in violation
of the constitution of the United States,
no application therefor having been
made by the Legislature of said States,
nor by the government thereof, and in
fact against the earnest protest of cer
tain of the Governors of such States,
and as the result of such counsel and
advice the soldiers aforesaid have fired
upon and killed divers citizens of said
State of Illinois without lawful or suffi
cient cause therefor: has counseled and
advised and caused divers suits to be
brought in said State of Illinois, and
divers other States of the United States,
and to enforce the same has, in violation
of the laws of the United, caused a pro
cess to be issued unknown to the courts
of the United States, and by the use of
" armed Deputy Marshals has caused the
arrest and imprisonment of citizens of
the United States without due course of
law and in violation of the constitution
and laws of the United States; has
wrested laws from their true intent and
purpose, and in violation of the spirit
thereof has used them through the courts
of the United States to injure and op
press the citizens of said Stateof Illinois,
and of the other States aforesaid, notably
the act of Congress approved in July,
1890, wholly intended to protect truth
and conscience against trusts and organ
ized wealth in other forms, and the act
of Congress approved February 4, 1887,
intended wholly and exclusively to pro
tect the citizens of the several States
against the wrongs, injustices and op
pressions of interstate common carriers;
has disregarded the sentiment of the
people of the United States expressed
through the Congress of the United
States, in the act approved October 1,
1888, entitled ' an act to create boards
of arbitration or commissions for settling
controversies and differences between
railway corporations and other carriers
engaged in interstate and territorial
transportation of property or passengers,
and their employes, and actively and
persistently encouraged and assisted the
so-called 'Pullman Palace Car Com
pany' in refusing to adjust its differ
ences with its employes and tens of
thousands of their brother workmen to
adjust such difference, by amicable con
ference or by the selection of disinter
ested arbitrators.
" Because the said Richard Olney, as
the legal adviser of the Chief Executive
of the United States, has advised, coun
seled and induced such Executive to
place a great city of the State of Illinois
under martial law against the solemn
protest of the Governor of said State,
and without consultation with the Con
gress of the United States, then in session,
which body, by the express enactment
of the constitution, alone has the power
to declare war; that no adequate or
sufficient excuse exists for the commis
sion of the high crimes and misdemean
or aforesaid, which, if left unpunished
and unrebnked, will prove a deadly blow
to the rights of the States and liberties
of the cities thereof. The pretense of
thee nnlawfnl usurpations of Federal
authority and flagrant invasions of the
reserved rights of the States, that the
due transmission and conveyance of the
mails of the United States were impeded
and interrupted, is wholly unfounded,
becane no contract exists between the
United States and any railroad corpora
tion teaching the transmission and con
veyance of the mails, that is not re
Tcicabieat the will of either party thereto,
bene no formal contract for carrying
the United States mail is made with
any railway corporation, and because
the laws of the land expressly provide

RAILROAD SCHEME,
It I. Said Mormon. Will Uulld From Salt
Lake to Till. C'oaat.
New York, July 13. A Washington
dispatch to a morning paper says that
the day the President's signature Is at'
fixed to the Utah admission bill will be
launched one of the greatest railroad en
terpriees that has been started for years,
A transcontinental scheme has been ma-
tured, and is only held back until Utah
can be dealt with as a State. Behind
the plan of development is the wealth
and influence of the Mormon Church.
With the quickness characteristic of
Mormons the surveys have been made,
the estimates compiled and the resources
of the country fully investigated. 1 lie
work is in such an advanced state that
two corps of engineers are here and
readv to be used for construction pur
poses. The road surveyed and to be built
extends (rora Bait Lake southerly ana
then westerly to a Pacific connection in
the Los Angeles country. If connection
cannot be made with the Atchison and
Topeka In Southern California, then this
Utah road will be built through to the
Coast, but the probabilities are that a
tramo arrangement can oe inane wuu
the Atchison and Topeka from The Nee
dles through to the coast. The project
ors of the new road have already sounded
President Reinhart of the Atchison and
Topeka, and are to have a formal meet
ing with him immediately after the state
hood bill is Binned.
By reference to the map a branch of
the Union Pacific will be seen running
southwesterly from Salt Lake toward the
Coast country, but stopping short in the
midst of the Sierras. The Mormons have
laid out a route which is a marvel to the
engineers who have seen profiles. They
parallel the ridges instead of crossing
them. They have tangents sixty and
seventy miles long, demonstrating that
what appears to be the longest route is
really tne shortest way to the uoast. in
Southern Utah are anthracite coal beds,
which exceed Pennsylvania 8 bv one-
half, but which have until now escaped
the Gentile railroad bulider. These coal
fields will be pierced by the new road.
Bishop Clawson of the Mormon Church
is the active representative of Zion in
this Droiect. He is here and in charge
of the lobby which has put the statehood
bill in to tne rresiaent'8 nan as bo smootn
lv. Associated with the Bishop is Mr,
Trumbo, one of the executors of the
Stanford estate. Co-operating with the
Mormons in the road and statehood
scheme is Colonel J. S. Clarkson, who
represents the capital to be invested in
the road, and who will probably give his
attention to the financiering of the road,
retiring Irom active politics.
.GEORGE'S AMENDMENT.
Coininl.ilon of Labor to be Compo.ed of
Eleven Member.,
Washington, July 14. George of
Mississippi to-day offered in the Senate
an amendment to his bill creating a
board of arbitration. It provides for
(he establishment of a commission of
labor to be composed of the Commis
sioner of Labor and ten additional mem
hers to be appointed by the President.
The oath of office prescribes that each
member will fairly and impartially dis
charge the duties of arbitration imposed
upon him by law, without respect to
persons, and do equal right to the poor
as well as the rich, this commission is
to be charged with the settlement of all
labor disputes between railway and other
iruneporuuiuu companies wuicu muy w
brought before them in accordance with
the law. They are also reqnired to arbi
trate such disputes as may be submitted
to them between the employers of labor
and their employes in other business
connected with the interstate commerce,
when the Legislature of the government
of the State in which snch disputes shall
originate shall consent thereto.
French Ironclad Bet on Fire.
Toulon, July 14. Just previous to the
launching of the new French ironclad
Carnot a dockyard official discovered
smoke issuing from the bold. The fire
was easily extinguished. A large bottle
of turpentine was emptied over the
woodwork in a manner well calculated
to cause a rapid spread of the flames. It
is reported a dockyard workman, sus
pected of being an anarchist, was ar
rested and confessed he and bis accom
plices planned to bnrn the Carnot.
Shipment, of Money Reflumed.
Washington, July 13. That the
Treasury Department regards the strike
as practically over was shown by the is
suance of an order by Treasurer Morgan
for the resumption of shipments of
money between the several subtreas
uries, which was suspended when the
labor troubles became acute.
A Father'. Terrible Crime.
Brooklyn, X. Y., July 16. James
Hogan, after an altercation with his sod
Daniel, went to his son's bedside early
this morning, while the latter was asleep,
and dealt him several blows with a piece
of stick, canting a compound fracture of
the skull. He then made his escape.
Young Hogan will die.

ARBITRATION AFTER PEACE.
Thl. Wa the Outeoiue of a Conference
Held Uetween Them at the White
lluu.e A Statement From Mr, Hajre.
of the Knight of Labor.
Washington, July 13. It is officially
stated at the White House that the Presi
dent has promised to appoint an arbltra-
tlon commission as soon as the disturb
ances in Chicago have subsided, so far
as the strikers are responsible for them,
and peace restored. This promise was
made to a committee representing the
various labor organizations which Presl
dent Cleveland received to-day. After
discussing the various features of the
situation for more than an hour, the
President promised that if the leaders
would return to Chicago and use their
influence towards restoring peace and
order, he would appoint the commission
as soon as the disturbances had ceased
to such an extent as to render a careful
thorough, thoughtful investigation pos
sible. The President laid great empha
sis on the fact that no steps could be
taken in this direction until lawlessness
had ceased, and made his promise con
tingent on the pledge of the labor lead
ers to see to it that, so far as organized
lalxr is concerned, the trouble at Chicago
and elsewhere will immediately disap
pear. There is no disposition on the
part oi tne aumimstraiion to weaken in
the stand it has taken, but the President
fully realizes the gravity of the situa
tion, and while he will not temporize
with the lawless element, he is deter
mined to do all in his Dower to reach a
permanent solution oi the labor ques
tions.
STATEMENT FROM HAYES.
Jnhn W. Haves. tlieCinneral fieeretnrv-
Treasurer ot tne Anights oi Labor, to
night gave out the following statement
covering the committee's interview with
President Cleveland ;
" We had an hour's talk with Presi
dent Cleveland this afternoon for the
purpose of calling his attention to the

cote of the Pullman employes to repre
sent their interest and act on their be
half. The President seemed pleased to
receive us and opened the subject by re
ferring to the law which the parties in
the action desired to see enforced. An
hour was passed discussing the various
provisions of the act, which authorizes
the President on his own motion to ap
point two arbitrators, together with the
United States Labor Commissioner, to
act as a commission ot arbitration and
investigate and decide what should be
done by either party to settle the con
troversy, ine commission nas an tne
power necessary to administer oaths,
subpu'na witnesses, etc.
" The President finally decided to ap
point the commission, and said he would
name the arbitrators either to-morrow
or the next day. We expect to secure
much more from this arbitration than
the final settlement of the present difti
culty in Chicago. While this is a victory
for labor organizations and everything
the American Railway Union has fought
lor, it gives omcial recognition to tne
iustice of their demands lor arbitration,
and will be much more, for in the move
ments of the future, when defects of the
present arbitration law have been made
pparent by actual experience, prompt
steps will be taken to amend the same."

DIBS MUCH ELATED.
Chicago, July 13. On being shown
the telegram announcing President
Cleveland's purpose to appoint an arbi

" We are very much gratified to learn
of President Cleveland's decision. It is
to be hoped that the board will be

its work will be prosecuted vigorously to

existing conflict will result. We are, of
course, for arbitration, and have been
from the beginning, and had this princi-
iie been recognized, this strike would
ave been averted."
Armjr Scandal In England.
Dublin, July 14. The Freeman's Jour
nal to-day published a startling account
of a scandal at Birr, Kings county, head
quarters of the Prince of Wales' Leins
ter regiment, the Royal Canadians. A
few nights ago some officers of the Lein
ster regiment, masked and disguised,
forcibly entered the rooms of the female
servants. They assaulted two of them
and fled. A sentry challenged them.
and upon their refusal to halt the sentry
thrust a bayonet into one ana snouted
for the guard. The guard turned out
promptly, and the officers were arrested.
The girls have sworn to complaints
against the prisoners.

UOLI'll MAIIK A FIOHT.
Iner
cured by II I m for Oregon'
Waterway
Washington, July 13. Senator Dolph
made hard fight for Oregon Improve
ments from the moment the river and
harbor bill was taken up In the Senate
Committee on Commerce. The en
gineers made estimatei for the full
amounts to complete the Improvement
now In progress on the lower Willamette
and Columbia, and for the mouth ot the
Columbia. The policy of the Demo
crats who are In control, and the admin
istration, on account of the condition of
the treasury, is to scale down all ap
propriations. Senator Dolph' main
fight was for the full amount of the es
timates at these points in order that the
government might be saved a great deal
of expense. The amount estimated for
the mouth of the Columbia was 18,138.
Senator Dolph exhibited photographs of
the trentle upon which is the tramway
and where material are transported to
complete the jetty.
He asserted that, having been in use
six years, it would be very likely not to
last until after the money appropriated
in another river and harbor bill was
available. If it should break down, it
would necessitate the building of another
at a great expense, and the cost of com
pletion would be at least doubled or
trebled. He asked the committee in the
name of economy to make the approprl
ation recommended by the engineers.
After discussing the matter with the
committee Senator Dolph became con
vinced that, so far as the committee was
concerned, there was no possibility for
any other improvements at the dalles
than a boat railway. There was no
sentiment in favor of a portage road ; in
fact, there was decided opposition to
such a scheme. It then became the
mrpose of Senator Dolph to get some
tind of an appropriation for the dalles
in the committee and in the Senate, and
then, If the House conferrees on the bill
oiler any project that can be agreed
upon, it wilt be time enough to consider
the matter. Senator Dolph's proposi
tion for a boat railway Is as follows:
" Improving the Columbia river, Ore-
egon and Washington, at Ihreo-Aiiie
Rapids and the construction and equip
ment of a boat railway from the foot of
The Dalles Rapids to the head of Celilo
Falls, said boat railway to be provided
at each terminus with hydraulic lifts
and other necessary appliances for the
purpose ot raising and lowering the boats
on suitable cars to and from its tracks,

and equipped for the passage of eight

that contracts may be entered into by

ditions now prescribed by law."
There was some talk about a canal.
but it was found that it would take at
least a vear to get Droner survevs and
estimates for a canal, while it would take
several more years to complete the work.
Senator Dolph thinks the boat railway
could be completed in two or three years
ii it was properly pushed.
TALK WITH DEBS.
The Union'. Prealdent More Confident of
Biiooe.. Than Ever,
Chicago, July 13. Mr. Debs was to
day more confident of the success of his
cause than at any time since the strike
began. He said in an interview :
" I feel that this day is fraught with
the utmost importance. As I view the
situation now, it presents a more favor
able outlook for us than ever before.
The excitement and turbulence inevi
tably incident to the lapse of a great
upheaval is past, ine striie ana tur
moil are elements that have passed in
the night. Une is now enabled to ob
tain a clear perspective of the immense
conflict now waging. The cool-headed
and steady purpose has succeeded
passion and diverse contention.
Now public sentiment can calmly and
truly judge of the right and wrong
this struggle. All these things, I say,
tend to strengthen our position. When
the mass of the people are aided in ren
dering an impartial verdict on the merits
of the case, 1 feel certain we will not be
degraded in public opinion. Indeed, we
are now deemed in the right by the ma
jority of the 04,000,000 inhabitants of
this country, and the adage has it,
When vou are sure you are right, then
go ahead,' so we shall fight it out until
our aims are accomplished."
" i lien any reports that you are pre
paring to give up the struggle are not
true, Mr. Debs?''
Most emphatically they are not.
Telegraphic rumors may say that I have
sent word to our men in this city or that
we are about to throw up the Bponge,
but they will be falsehoods without the
necessity of a denial. Our stand is this :
We have at all times shown our willing
ness to make a reasonable settlement of
the difficulties that confront the conn
try. We have even gone bevond what
should be demanded of us to arrange for
arbitration, each time to be rebuked,
but we are going to stay in the strike till
the last. We shall never yield."
Co.t to the Gorernment,
Washington, July 13. The cost to
the United States of putting down the
strike in the West is estimated by the
government officials at fully $1,000,000.
It may foot up more. The items include
telegraph bills. Iieputy Marshals' nav
and the transportation and maintenance
of troops. The estimate for Marshals'
pay in Chicago alone is from $150,000
to $200,000, and Congress in a few davs
ill be asked to appropriate this, as it
urgent.

Cuicaoo, July 13. Within the gloomv
wans oi uook county jail to-day all was
bustle and surpressed excitement as the
time drew near when Patrick Eugene
Promlergast, the condemned murderer
of Mayor Carter Harrison, would expiate
the crime with his life. Jailer Morris
and assistants made the final test of the
rope, trap and trigger at 10:35. Jailer
Morris at 10 :15 said : "As near as I can
Judge the march to the scaffold will begin
about 11 :30." Prendergast rested well
last night and seemed calm and collected.
He refused until late last evening to re
ceive spiritual consolation, but when
nightfall came he asked for Father Mul-
doon. Between 0 and 7 o'clock Premier.
gast partook ol ham and eggs, and about
tt o'clock sent word to Jailer Morris he
was again hungry. The jailer bad the
prisoner served with another hearty
meal, which beseemed to relish irrnatlv.
The assassin talked freely with his spirit
ual adviser, and several times remarked :
" You must stay with me to the end."
As the hour for the execution drew
nearer Prendereast showed aim. nf
slightly increasing nervousness, but on
the whole he was remarkably calm and
collected.
Father Barry was in constant attend
ance upon Prendergast all morning.
The little assassin was most deferential.
lie announced with a trifle of bravado:
" I'll die game and set a great and shin
ing example to my country." At 11 a.
m. Prendergast was removed to the ante
room of the jail office, where the last
kind offices were performed. Prender
gast especially requested Sheriff Gilbert
to allow him twenty minutes to make a
dying statement, but it was thought he
would at the last moment forego the de
termination. The inrv and nhvsicians at 11 :10 filed
in and inspected the scaffold and appur
tenances. Fiftv DeDutv Sheriffs were
ranged around the corridor. At 11 :42
SlieriffGilbert andJailer Morris appeared
at the right of the scaffold. The nris-
oner, pale and unsteady, walked behind.
lie stood without apparent nervousness,
though a trifle weak and unsteady, as
his anna were being pinioned. He looked
calmly out on the assembled crowd be
low him. While the Bhroud was placed
about bim, barring a little reBtlesB move
ment of the eyes, he made no motion.
Jailer Morris placed the rone about his
neck, the white cap over his head, and
atll:.81ii body shot downward. His
neau twisted to one side, his neck having
been apparently broken. A short, spas
modic movement of the legs was the
only Bign of life apparent. Surrounded
by tne jury and physicians, the corpse
swung to and fro, and at 11:57, nine
minutes after the trigger was sprung, he
was pronounced dead. The assassin made
not an audible sound from the time he
left his cell, apparently being lost in
contemplation of his awful fate. He was
gently dissuaded by SlieriffGilbert from
a determination to make a speech. At
11:58 Jailer Morris unloosened the an
chored end of the rope, and the shrouded
corpse was slowly lowered and laid in
the coffin standing underneath the plat
form. The face was not badly distorted,
though the mouth was open and the
tongue protruding. The color of the
features was a bluish tint, which, with
his unkeDt reddish hair strangling down
over the forehead, made a sight long to
oe remain oerea.
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Land Grant Forfeited and Right of
Way Granted.
Washington, July 12. By virtue of
the adoption of a special order the House
was enabled to reach a vote on the Mo
Rae land grant forfeiture bill this after
noon, and it was passed. The bill
amends the act of September 20, 1800,
which in substance declares the forfeit
ure to the United States of land hereto
fore granted to State and corporations to
aid in the construction of railroads to
the extent only of lands opposite to and
contiguous with the portions of bucIi
railways as were not completed and op
erated at that time. The bill passed ex
tends the forfeiture to the portions of
tne several railways to aid in the con
struction of which the grants were made,
which were uncompleted when the time
expired within which the roads were re
quired to be completed by law. It in
volves portions of the grants of twenty

Commodore Klrkland to Command the
- European Station.
Washington, July 13. Secretary Her
bert to-day made two important details.
Commodore Carpenter, who has been on
waiting orders in Boston for some time,
was assigned to the command of the Asi
atic station to succeed Admiral Skerritt,
just retired. By virtue of his command
lie will have the rank of Rear Admiral.
He is instructed to take oasssage from
San Francisco on the Gaelic August 7.
The Secretary also made known his in
tention to give the command of the Eu
ropean station to Commodore William
A. Kirkland at his own request as soon
as Admiral Erben retires, probably be
fore September. At the time Admiral
Walker was sent to Hawaii to command
the Pacific station, suddenly relieving
Commodore Kirkland before the latter
could reach hia flagship, it was rumored
that he was in disfavor at the depart
ment, but to-day's action of the Secre
tary in giving the Commodore the com
mand of the favorite station, and one
which will soon be reinforced by some of
the finest ships in the navr. i strong
evidence of the high estimate the Secre
tary entertains of his abilities. Commo
dore Kirkland will hold the rank of Ad
miral, and his assignment will leave the
South Atlantic station without an Ad
miral. Japaa Chartering Steamers.

Mr. Dixon on the Strike.
BOTH SPEAK THEIR MINDS,
The Archbl.hop Blaine Labor, and the
New Yorker Advocate, the Govern
ment Ownership of Hallway.-A Great
Inju.tlce Perpetrated.
Chicago, July 15. Archbishop Ire
land of St. Paul, when asked to-day what
he had to say upon the railway strike,
spoke as follows:
"I do not desire to speak of the Chi
cago strikers, because in so doing I shalL
blame labor, while because of my deep
sympathy with it I should wish to have
never said but words of praise for it
But in a moment of social crisis, such as
tne one through which we are passing,
it is our duty to speak loud and to
make the avowal of the truths and
principles which will save society and
iustice.
"The latai mistake which nas been
made in connection with this strike is
that property has been destroyed, the
liberty of business interfered with, hu
man lives endangered, society menaced
and the institutions and freedom of the
country put in most serious jeopardy,
The moment such thinks happen all pos
sible questions as to the rights and griev
ances of labor must be dropped out of
sight ana an enorts oi law-abiding citi
zens and of public officials made to serve
1 : . . ! . , ,
in iuuinuiining puuiic oruer anu guaru
ing at all costs the public welfare. Labor
must learn that, howeversacred its rights
be, there is something above them and
absolutely supreme social order and the
laws oi publio justice. There is no civil
crime so hideous, so pregnant ot evil re
sults as resistance to law and the consti
tution of the country. This resistance
is revolution : it begets chaos: it is an-
archv: it diarnntathn whole anolal fhH
" Labor, too, must learn the lesson that
tne liberty of the citizen is to be re-
pected. One man has a right to cease
I1VM1I nuilh, uUb 11. HUB IIU rJKIlb W UT1VB
another man from work. He who re
spects not the liberty of others shows
himself unworthy of his own liberty and
incapable of citizenship in a free coun
try. Riots and mob rule, such as have
occurred in Chicago, do immense harm
to the cause of labor, and set back its
advance for whole decadeB of vears. La
bor thereby loses the earnest Bvmoathv
of thousands of friends, and gives cour
age and triumph to its enemies. Worse
yet, the principle of popular government
suners.
" It is no wonder that, reading of the
occurrences in America, Europe an
nounces that the Republio is a failure,
and that a strong monarchy only can
hold society together.
" I am far from saving that labor has
not had its grievances in America, nor
that redress must not be sought. Iwonld
not respect the laborer who seeks not to
defend his rights and to Improve his
condition. But all this must be done
within the lines of social order and law,
The remedy for these ills is a healthy
puonc opinion, ana lair public legislation

tions, whether bv single or united force.
are laudable. For my own part I believe
the large number of men who ioin strikes
are more to be pitied than to be blamed,
They are led on by irresponsible and tyr
annous chiefs. Labor unions have great
Btatuies, put there is one marked evil in
them, in that they put the liberties of
tens of thousands in the keeping of one
man or a few, who become their abso
lute masters, their despotic Czars.
"The solution to the differences be
tween capital and labor is necessarily
complicated, and no one precise formula
has been or can be found. A generous
sense of injustice toward all. a deeD love
of one's fellows and attentive listenings
to the teachings of Christ will lead on
all sides to a better understanding and
to happier mutual relations. Certain it
is that, so far as it 1b possible, the laborer
should not lack support for himself and
family. He should not be overburdened
either in weight or time of labor; he
should be treated as a rational and moral
being, with all the respect due his human
dignity. His remuneration, if dimin
ished in periods of depression, should
increase in periods of prosperity."
rev mb. dixon's sermon.
New York, July 15. Rev. Thomas
Dixon, Jr., who finds a text for each
Sunday's sermon in the events of the
previous week, preached in Association
Hall to-day of the strike. He said in
part : i
" This great uprising of the laboring
classes, which has cost the country $1,
000,000 and is likely to cost it $5,000,000,
had its origin in a great injustice perpe
trated by somebody. It is impossible to
imagine the laboring classes, after en
during the miseries consequent on the
depression of the past year, leaving their
workshops unless there was injustice
somewhere. Three lessons, however,
have been learned by the strike :
" The railroad managers were utterly
incapable to handle the railroads the
moment the strike was preclpited ; that
mob violence and disorder will under no
circumstances be tolerated by the Amer
ican people, and that the national gov
ernment alone has the power to break
snch a strike and raise the railroads'
blockade,
" From these follows the logical con
clusion that the national government
should own the railroads outright. The
railroads were built strictly for accom
modation, and neither labor leaders nor
railroad managers should have the power
nor be permitted to interfere with the
public rights. If the national govern
ment owned the railroads, it would be
high treason to do such a thing."

JUDGE TAFT'S DECISION.
To Strike I Legal, But There I No War
rant of Law for a Boycott.
Cincinnati, July 14. Judge Taft of
the United States Circuit Court delivered
his decision to-day in the case of F. W.
Phelan, charged with contempt of this
court by impeding and obstructing the
receiver of the Cincinnati Southern, ap
pointed by this court, in the manage
ment and operation of hia road and di
recting and Inciting the employes to
leave his employ and by interfering with
the business of other roads with which
the Southern road does business. The
courtroom was crowded, and large num
bers were in the corridors. Many Dep
uty Marshals were in and about the
courtroom, but their presence was not
needed, as the utmost decorum waa ob
served. The Judge reviewed at length
the testimony, which he declared showed
unmistakably that Phelan came here as
the agent and coworker of Debs to insti
tute and direct a boycott in order to com
pel the Pullman Car Company to treat
with its employes, who it appears are
not eligible to membership in the Amer
ican Railway Union.
Phelan's denial of personal agency had
no weight with the court, owing to the
evasive and flippant nature ot his testi
mony, and in the face of the telegrams
passing between him and Debs, as well
as his public utterances. He knew the
Cincinnati Southern was in the hands of
a receiver, and yet hia first efforts were
directed against it. The court found
that he was the active agent here of an
unlawful conspiracy with Debs and
others to paralyze the business of the
United States, or. in other words, to
starve the nation in order to force em
ployers into terms. Applying the law
to the facts the court held that to under
take to force a breach of contracts was
an unlawful conspiracy. Moreover, the
whole plan was a boycott, which has
been declared by all States, except Min
nesota, to be unlawful. The court nlainlr
recognized the right of laborers to unite
and even to coerce their employers for
the purpose of obtaining a better price
for their labor. They were warranted
in striking; that is. leaving their em
ployers in a body to better their own
interests, but there was no warrant of
law for a boycott.
The Judge, having found Phelan guilty
as charged, said in reference to the sen
tence that it was the duty of the court
to enforce obedience to its orders. To do
otherwise would court an anarchy. The
penalty for contempt after warning
should be sufficient to enforce compli
ance with the orders of the court. The
sentence was confinement for six months
in the Warren county jail at Lebanon,
0., and the Marshal was directed to im
mediately execute the order of the court.
