GOOD FOR STRIKING WABASH TRAINMEN
Judge Adams of St. Louis Grants Their Application and the
Injunction is Dissolved.
St. Louis, April 1. Judge Adams,
of the United States circuit court,
this morning granted tho application
of the Wabash railway trainmen for
a dissolution of the tomporary re
straining older issued by him recent
ly, preventing them from calling a
strike.
Ho reviews both sides and takes
up clause by clause of the allegations
and denials, and says, in as much as
the trainmen deny any Intentions of
interfering either with Interstate
commerce or the United States malls,
their only purposo being to better
their condition, they havo undoubted
right to peacefully withdraw from tho
railroad employment until such time
as wages which shall be satisfactory
are conceded. He says the railway's
contention that tho men are satisfied
with their wages is not supported.
The miest on as to whether tno or-
fleers of tho railway trainmen or the
men themselves first suggested an in
crease of wages and a change of rules
was declared Immaterial.
Right of Employes.
Summarizing the rights, duties and
nrlvileires of the employes. Adams
says. "An employe hasthe unquestion
able right to place a price and im
pose conditions upon his labor at the
outset of his employment or unless
restrained by contract obligations,
upon the continuance of his labor at
any time therefoie.
"If these terms and conditions are
not compiled with by the employer
he has a clear right either not to en
gage In or, having engaged In his
service, to ceaiso work. They may
Reek and obtain counsel and advice
concerning their rights, duties and .
obligations In relation to their em-j
ployer. Persons interested In their
welfare may advise, aid and assist
them In securing such terms nnd con
ditions of service as best subservo
their Interests.
The Right to Strike.
"What they may do lawfully nnd
singly thi.y may organize nnd com
blno to accomplish. But this right
of combination and tho resulting
light to strike is a weapon for the
defense and protection of tho em
ployes and not a weapon of attack
A clear line of demarcation Is recog
dIzpiI by all authorities I e, that u law
ful, permissible strike must not bo
attended by violence to or destruc
tion of property or by other coerclvo
measures intended to prevent tho em
ployer from securing other employes
or otherwlso carrying on his business
according to his own Judgment.
Tho decision Is regarded as being
one of tho mpst Important and com
prehensivu isdued on the labor ques
tion.
May Avert Strike.
St. Louis, April 1. Assistant Grand
Master Lee. of tho Brotherhood of
Trainmen, says ho believes tho Ad
ams decision will result In an amica
ble settlement obviating tho Wabash
