THE NORTHERN CUTTING WAGES The Receivers Invoke the Aid of the Courts to Prevent a Walkout. Associated press. Milwaukee, Dec. 2C The receivers of the Northern Pacific are preparing to: a strike of all the employes. They .ap plied some time ago to Judge Perkins of the United States court, for an or der restraining them from declaring an Instantaneous strike and doing any damage to the property and Interfering with the operation of the road. The receivers had ordered a general reduc tion of wages from five to eight per cent, to which the employes objected. Negotiations between representatives of the employes and the receivers have been In progress three weeks. Today the negotiations were broken off, and e strike .being Imminent, the receivers have decided to make use of the In junction issued by Judge Perkins, which they hope will enable them to operate the- road immediately with new men. The legal documents now in the handi of the receivers contain neaily 10,000 words. The lnjunctional order will be served tonight and torn -ii..v tn all leaders of the Northern Pacific rail road employes by United States mar- shals of the districts through which the Northern Pacific passes. PREPARED TO QtTIT WORK.. Milwaukee, Dec. 25. The prospect Ie that 3,500 men employed by the Nor thern Pacific will quit work January 1 when the reduced schedule of wages goes Into effect. When the receivers found it Impossible to arrive at an agreement with the employes, they tel egraphed tonight to all agents and at torneys along the line of road to have injunctions served. The Injunction i: said to be -the Urst order of the kind issued in the United States. A some what similar Injunction was issued dur ing the Big Four labor troubles, but not until the strike was In progress. It appears from the Northern Pacific in junction that the receivers ordered a reduction in all salaries exceeding $1200 This was cheerfully accepted. A week later the receivers ordered a further reduction of five per cent on all wages nf tr.H In 17K anil nn 7r. ' $100 per month. It is this reduction which the employes refuse to accept. The petitioners say the employes can not carry on a strike without pecuniary assistance of the different, national or ganizations to which they belong. They therefore pray that these organizations, through their chief officers, such as P. M. Arthur, E. C. Clark, E. P. Sargent D. G. Ramsey, S. E. Wilkinson, and ethers, be enjoined from ordering and sanctioning the strike. The court grants this. SOUTHERN PACIFIC'S EARNINGS. San Francisco, Dec. 28. Judging from the statement of the earnings of the Southern Pacific railroad, the wave of depression that swept over the country appears to have done lees injury to the Pacific coast than to any other sectior of the United States. The gross earn ings of the road up to the end of October amounted to $10,137,000. This J $2C1,000 less than for Uie tame time laitt year. Although there will be a de crease In the net earnings of the road this year. It will be less than that ex perienced by railroada in other section. of the country. . CRISP NOT WORRIED.

The Oregonlar will tomorrow print an open, letter from Richard H. Thornton, of the State Uni versity Law School, to Governor Pen noyer. Mr. Thornton Bays: "The ex traordinary circumstance of fourChrlat mas letters to the president of the United States must be my excuse for writing to you. You therein state that more than two-thirds of the people of Oregon are without employment, and wore than one-third are without suffi cient means of support. Consider for a moment what this means. At least 240,000 people, according to your letter have no employment; and at least 120,- 000 have no sufficient means of support. In so writing you have stamped your self as a disseminator of Inaccuracy and llbellor of the commonwealth which haa made you its chief magistrate. You also are a father, and you doubtless feel grateful to the Supreme Being for thh and that. Allow me to suggest that you enlarge . your scope nf vision and see what a bad example In point of verac ity you are setting your offspring." V. A BATTLE PROMISED. .

JUDGE FULLERTON'S DECISION Irregularities in tlio pjpeceu'ings Alleged by those Moil; Iuterestcd. Associated Press. Corvallls, Or., Dec. 25. Special trains this morning brought about 400 of the Oregon Pacific's creditors to town to witness the court proceedings relative to the confirmation of the sale of the road. They divided on the question of the appointment of a successor to Re ceiver Hadley. The matter comes up In court this afternoon. The failure of the proof of publication of the no' l-e cf sale in the New York papers to arrive here until yesterday renders the con firmation of the sale Impossible for live days, should 'the court be so Inclined. The attorneys for the purchasers stat ed In court that the refusal to confirm the sale would end the matter so far as the people they represented were con cerned. . . ' Judge Fullerton this afternoon set aside the sale of the property made on the 15th Inst. Objections to the confir mation were made by various creditors en the grounds of Inadequacy of the price, and Irregularity deprocedure. In rendering -his decision, which meets with general approval, Judge Fullerton said that those most Interested In the confirmation . or rejection of the sale were labor and supply creditors, and that they seemed toQpp.oset.tha confir mation. Also, that there appeared , tt have been some irregularities In the proceedings. In the morning will be heard the argument for the removal of Receiver Hadley and the appointment of hla successor, a petition forwhich has been circulated among the em ployes. The latter propose that until such time as a sale of the property may be effected, to operate the road, guaran teeing not to entail additional expense upon the receivership. t MUST GIVE AN .
