MUST HELP THE BURLINGTON , Incompetent Men nt tlio pClirottlo t Cnnso Two Barloitn Accidents ; The Itock Island's Attitude F Statements of KiiRlnc'crs. L Enjoined Union Paclflo Engineers , j. Yesterday In the United States court the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy railroad coin- f pnnyi through ito attorney , 0. J. Greene , so il cured an injunction against the Union Paciflo " railway company , Its officers and agents , nnd particularly its engineers , restraining them > ' Trbin njftlsltljg to pcrfornt their "duties uhder t the Inlcr-stato commercO law ; also against the engineers of the Union Paclflo railway to restrain thorn from striking or from organiz c ing or .combining to direct n strike. The bill octout that the Union Paclflo railway com- f- puny uiidJte employes have refused and still ro- Iii-Jo1 to hnnl , handle cr deliver tranic original- * Ingon or dostlnod to any point on the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy system or passing over ' . t 1 any part of it in the transportation , of which It has any Interest. This action on the part ' of iho men is the result of a combination en tered' into --by them nnd other members of \ the Brotherhood of Locomotive Enl - l pincers for the purj ese of crip- ' pHng and destroying the business of the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy , and ? < I Ihorc.by forcing It to discharge from its cra- | ploy" the engineers now In its service nnd t compelling it to replace them with members v pf the brotherhood. Such notion is n viola 's ' tion Of the lutor-stato commerce Jaw , und Iho 1 Union Paclflo railway company nnd its cm- " * ] > loycs in refusing to handle the trafllc of the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy , lay thorn- f selves open to punishment under that act. ? The engineers being fully awamof the un lawfulness of their purx ] > so in refusing to interchange business with the Chicago , Bur lington & Quincy. and knowing that they can bo proceeded ngalnst for refusing , the same services to the Chicago , Burlington & Qutnny tlmt they clvo to the tnifllc of other lines , and anticipating any action that might betaken taken against them for such unlawful refusal by the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy or nny business man , of other inter- Us ted person , have combined , con spired and nprosd upon as individuals .and ns members of the Brotherhood of Loco'mo- tivo Engineers to strike the moment the old of the courts should bo invoked to compel them to desist from their unlawful refusal , or the moment their employes , the Union Pnciflic railway company , should nuthora- lively and positively command them to ro- ccivo and command them to hnudlo tha Chicago cage , Burlington & Quincy traflle. The bill then goes on to ask that tiio en gineers be enjoined and restrained from thus Btriking in order to carry out the unlawful purpose in refusing to handle Burlington freight , viz : to force the discharge of the en gineers now in the employ of the Chi cago. Burlington & Quincy , and their replace ment with an equal nujalxjr of members of the brotherhood. Thist says the petitioner , is probably the first instance of the power of the court being invoked to restrain men from striking. It may seem very much like com pelling a man to work when ho docs not want to , but that is not the real cffpct or purposo. The order of the couit simply says that men who , ns members of a vast order , have re solved and agreed upon among themselves as Buch members and as individuals to take the cxtromcst measures in their power in order to destroy and damage the propei ty of an em ployer for the solo rcason'that such employer lias in his service men who are not members of such order , and thereby force their discharge and replacement with members of such order , they will bo enjoined from carrying out such unlawful purposo. And if , for the moro effectual accomplishment of their pur pose by the destruction of their employer's property they declare what amounts to a boycott upon Its business , nnd to carry out Buch purpose threaten to strike , they will bo enjoined from this just oa they would from nny other unlawful means for accomplishing their purposo. The orator does not nt all involve the idea that an individual will or can Jjo made to work by a court When , ho does not wish to , but simply that a number of men cannot combine and conspire together to cease from work at onetime time when having no complaint or grievance against their employers , they do so only' to destroy the property of another and thereby damage the whole business Interests of the country. This is the theory advanced by Mr. Greene. The injunction \yas graptcd by Judge Puudy , and next Monday was * fixed as the time to enlarge , restrict , modify or dissolve such injunction. Court I'roccodfiijjs Postponed. CHICAGO , March 0. All court proceedings by tlm Bnrllneton railroad against Chief Ar thur and the Wnbash railroad ivoro brought to a sudden halt by Juilgo Orcs'mm this after noon. Ho announced tha whole matter would be postponed until Monday. The reasons for the doliiv is ostensibly to give the attorneys for the Wabash time to answer , but the Burlington - lington did not particularly bpposo postpone ment. To an A&soclnted press reporter Judge Oreshnm explained that Hobert T. Lincoln , counsel for the Wabnsh company , had said that ho had been in consultation nil morning with Receiver McNultn , endeavoring to wndq through the jmiss of documents filed by the Burlington , nnd prepnro n suitable answer. 'They had found it impossible to do so in u fihorttime , they said. JudgoGreshamthorc- fore , in the absence of any serious opposition to the delay by the Burlington , had decided to lot the whole matter wait until Monday. According to St. John. Cincuao , March 0. In the correspondence lpt > vccn General Manager Stone of the Bur lington and General Manager St , John of the Hoolc- Island railroadn given in those dfs- patches } ast night , there was ono letter that was missing. Stone's first letter was under dftto of Miiroh 0 , To this the Hook Island pooplo. replied the same day us follows : "H. 11.

[ Special Tele gram to the BEE.- ] The wreck on the Atchl- son St Nebraska lirimclf between two passen ger trains Is a fair Index of the competency of tha Burlington road , and in whoso hands t lie lives of those who travel is placed. B , & M. travel has greatly fallen off , and a gentle man , a resident of Orleans , who reached this city after many tribulations , relates an ex perience that goes to show that the present service in eastern NcbnisHa is magnificent , compared with what the fcooplo get in the west. Ho statesthat the f&w uniformed hired Plnkcrtou men from Chicago parade around the depots at junction points , nnd the parties who risk themselves to the care of the nqw engineers jiavo an experience in making the * trip over Iho road that would compare well with railroading fifty years ago. The later news from the cast adds to the confidence of the engineers and flremcn at this iwInU The accidents on the road and .tho mutilation of tha rolling stock contribute evidence to the statement made by the broth erhood Unit such results would bo found forthcoming. A day ago in the yards in this city two passenger trains collided , and while the facts were suppressed as much ns pos sible jt was in evidence'that the green man hauling passengers was Incompetent. The brotherhood keeps a watchful eye on tlio rolling stock of the company. They report the following additional engines damaged In the last few days : No. 13 , hind end collision. Nos. 28 and 82 , sldo collision with considerable damage. No. US , back ends of tank staved in , six crown' sheets weakened. No. 33 , branch , frozen and burstcd. Nos. 75 nnd 03 , head end collision , They nlso report fifteen sets of grates put in engines on account of being burned out. ffho brotherhood has also dot voted a great deal of tune to ascertaining the antecedents of the now men runnlng cugines , and in this a number Of the Reading men who returned , hbmir contributed valuable informa tion. The mon assert that of the imported engineers , at least one-half of them are men who have been discharged for drunkenness or inconipetency. "JS'otlce i tlio Public. " LINCOLN , Neb.-March ' 0.

"Tho attitude of the brotherhood at this juncture , " said Chief Arthur this afternoon , -when , sometime sub sequent to Judge Grcsham's postponement of the action , ho was asked to deflno ills posi tion. "It ia practically i'dontical with this statement , which has appeared most oppor- 'tunoly. " Air. Arthur held in his hand , as ho evoke , an editorial clipped from a morning paper which has heretofore opposed the stand taken by thQ auglncors. This nrtlclo strongly favored a resort to arbitration to avert the threatened great injury to business. "Now , " snid Mr. Arthur , "tho point is that the brotherhood is nnd has been ready to submit the whole matter to three dlsintor- ogtcd persons for settlement. " "But Mr. Morton , speakinir for the com pany , clalpis there ia nothing to arbitrate , " said the loportor. "That/is a question of fact , " said Mr. Arthur , dryly , "of which wo must allow the people to bo tlio Judge , If Mr. Moi ton's claim Is correct , how is It that tlo | Burlington com pany , with many hundredu of miles of coun try dependent upon it , is not doing' SO per cent of the business it was when the strlico began ? Tlio position Is manifestly absurb. Not only Jn our own interest , but the interest of the public , who , BO far , have been the p'rincipal sufferers , wo say . there is ample ground form-bitration. I want it to go on record befOre the public that wo are now , as wo have boon , willing and ready to arbi trate. ' ' ] All Quiet in Omnliii. Yesterday and last night were featureless in the great Burlington strike , and the threatened walkout of ; engineers and flromon of other roads centering in Omaha failed to occur. Brotherhood inou .moved about with but little show of gonqprn , and when spoken to replied that there was nothing to reveal. YVhatoyer notion may bo taken in the noxt- twenty-four hours will bo known only to themselves , nnd will not bo given to the pub ; ' Ho until the Jaovltablo is reached , The resorts - sorts of the striken ) and their sympatlzers weraJoa.qrtcd by tiom ) last night , and consequently quently no now developments were forth- , coining. A Del ? reporter chatted wjth two different Union Pacific engineers relative to the effect the injunction applied lor by the Burlington in the United States court would have on their acts. Both replies wore that it would carry but little weight , as they boltovcd that no court ou earth nouul compel thorn to re main on their engines if they wcro not so dlsixiscd. Interviewed us to the correctness of the rumors that there would bo a general walkout on the Union Pacific Saturday night the gentlemen refused to speak. The passenger trains , on the Burlington wore nil several hours late yesterday , and explanations for their tardiness were not foithcomlng from the local authorities , who have all at ouco shown an apathy for re porters. The train from the west -luo hero at Q:45 : p. IT did not show up until 8:10 : last night , and in confluence tha train for the east that departs at 7 o'clock did not get out until nearly 0 o'clock. No , U , from the cast , was rejwrted several hours behind time at 7 p. m. , when it was duo. It was after 10 o'clock when It steamed in. Several freights wore in and out yesterday , and a tuilii load of stock woa forwarded to South Omulm during the d y. Stain ! liy Your Colors. LINCOLN , Nob. , March 0. [ Spooial Telegram - gram to the UEBJi-Tho speech of Mr. L. O. Hill before tha union mooting of the Brother hood of Engineers and Firemen , represent ing tha temper of the traveling publlo on the strike now in progress on the "Q'1 system , was listened to by a large audlonoo last night. Mr. Hill was introduced to the boys by Vice , Grand Master J. J , Hnnnnhan , as n veteran In brotherhood matters of .years nfjo , rcpro- scntlngnown commercial line as ntravclin # salesman. Mr. Hill spoke as follows i Gentlemen nnd Englncmon It is with pleasure that I accept your Invitation to speak to you to-day , and it is with pride that I greet you as brothers in n triple enso first ns brother men , second ns fraternal brothers of years gone by , and tnfrd ns brothers of a common danger , namely , "Tho wrecks of tha roads. " Into your hands the 200'OOQ commer cial travelers of North America have placed the rliks of life and Hmo , nnd 1 spcnk feel ingly and knowingly ivhpn i gay those self saino commercial travelers rjso with their hats oft to thank you ns brotherhood engi neers for the faithful fulfillment of your pledge. "Industry , ftobripty and J benevo lence" has been to you n good watchword worthy your calling of danger nnd worthy the approval of all honest men , and T bollovo Ivolco the sentiment of every traveling man when I say ; God speed you in winning an honest cause. , , My oxpcrldnco In your legislative halls hns laught nip that you Ifavo cvet ? bdpn a con- , scrvdVlvo body , willing to bear many inilignl- U6s before you would Scekicdrt sin'jextremo measure's , and froth personal knowledge I feel that you have glonntyl yourselves by your moderation for no imtny years against thb unjust dlfcrimlnnllon jignlnst you as to the Question of grade aud pay tlmt you have received front tlijs corporation - tion known as the "Q , " and when forbearance hns been your watchword for sp Ipng. now that you have spoken , Jet your speech bring you victory. I feerthnt tho-un- willing , mercenary newspapers of , tie | day have misrepresented .you. Perhaps some have done so from the rcasdji of threat or bribe. For such I feel an unutlbrablo con tempt , for In misrepresenting jdu they ptriko a blow at the freedom tlicyplalni to repre sent so fearlessly. They frequently crack jokes at the expense Of .some "trust'1 ' that makes a corner on our staples' anUdcfond the principles of co-operation ; but as soon as the skilled engineers and firemen of the brotherhood turn to protect their Individual homes nnd welfare , they chuugo aud say those men , tlloso engineers and flremcn , must not tamper with tlio in terests of the people. They piust , beg to betaken taken back as abject slaves. They must do this and not allow themselves to" protect their own Interests because the piiollo demands they .should bear up under smarting griev ances in the interests of commerce und trade. ' 'Commerce and trade. " nud the pub- lip , If memory serves mo right , dr evep the people , have never put up a dollar to war rant such a show ' of , prptherly love from the cnglneois ; aud if I am allowed to' , Judge , I would say that these cnglnemoanro jn much better shape to get along"without tho" people than the people are to get uloiig jvithout them. And I will go still further and say , when the people will ns willingly 'put forth a few days loss of facilities to travel as they will of thp loss of unjust' discriminations of corporations Jiko the one with which you nro now treating , I will unhesitatingly etay that thqso self-s'auio Rnglnomen will ho glad to do nate one-half their income to" the people who love liberty nnd fair play so' well , and back1'- by some actions other than by "newspaper talk. " I have , for instance , noticed newspaper head * ings this"past week , saying ' , 'tho 13. & M. Is running regular trains.on time and. nio re ceiving freight for aH'poluts' " If experience is any rule to go by such'reports are lies , "manufactured out of whole cloth. " Again they say t oir passenger ongirips are manned with competent engineers , and only'two days flgo I'sawiu a distance of less thau ono hun dred miles on a local branch of this self same road , four dismantled and broften down en gines , and kept my scat on n trahvin constant fear of a collision. Owing"to a total disregard of" meeting points or side tracks by the "scab" who 'was trying to carry two gauges ofvater -in the stack , the passenger coaches of n train wo met Idokea ns if they had sot besido.a tar manufacturing establishment. In this connection I would p'aytmy.rcspects to several papers. Most notajjlo in tlia ) locality is the Omaha BBE , which has acted fairly and squarely with you , hndl bellevo it wjll never have cause to regret its honesty and fair dealing. Spmtfvyljer has said that "in mystic characters our features bear the motto of our souls. " Is it bo true "the mystic" or whatever - , over kind of characters , ar6 stamped p'n the features of some of these "imported scabs" I have seen , 1 assure you thy xvould discount the Five Points or tho' Bowery in their palmiest days , and if the people could see their photographs , ln line alternating De- tween the brotherhood boys who have struck for honest pay , for lionest service , I believe that the public would need no stronger proof of the justice of your demands. "United j'ou stand , divided you full , " and I defy nny country to' pro duce a parallel of your unity moderation and faith in each other. Surely the heads of your > respective organizations jnust be proud of you. As a traveling man I greet you and I believe I % 'oco ! the sentiment of every ono of these when I say , "God speed you , " with their moral support nnd if need bo with financial aid. In conclusion all I hayq to Bay to you is , sustain yourselves in the future ns in the past , and bo BU ro you are right. OhcV the advice of your executive ofilcers and < lo not let the hlcrlings of an underpaid * cor poration defeat you in yoav just de mands , oven if every noivsplner in the land says.thls road ismarinjid w.Jth skilled engineers. You know better , , for honest , moral , sober men nro recognized as Biother- hood men and Brotherhood men only. United they stand us a bulwark against drunkenness , intemperance and injustice , and unequalled by miy other-fraternal organ isation in loyalty to their country.homos und occupation. Nothing can tUrn the tide against you if you remain steadfast and true , ami when victory perches on your banners , and j'ou resume your old accdstonied places , none will welcome you back moro sincerely than the traveling men.
