It is estimated that between 4.0CO ind 0,000 will be tifTeetcd by the order to walk out. It has required four meet- ngs of the business agents of the unions to decide the question of ordering out all the men , jut It is said to have be ii made plain to till that the only other recourse was for the or ganizations to acknowledge defeat and quit ; he field as gracefully as possible. Not one of the delegates would allow this and the order to strike was the result. Addrrns of Ilin Union , The bulltling trades council which passed ; ho order calling out the men , addressed a eng communication to the council of ad- nlnistmtion declaring that the laboring tien had been friendly to the fair and then the address continues : Afli'r tniicli discussion you lltmllv ngtccd : I'lrst Thiil eight hours should constitute a diiy'labor. .

MACON , Ga. , April U. The decision of Judge Spcer in the case of the petition of the Brotherhood of Locomotive lingineors , to require the receiver of the Central Railroad of Georgia to cuter into a contract with that organization for , the service of its members on that road , Is regarded by the Brotherhood as a signal victory for that organizi'.tiou. After announcing his decision that the re ceiver will be instructed to enter into the contract petitioned for by the engineers , Judge Speer discussed at length the interest ing questions involved. Ho said : "It will not bo wise for these engaged In the maintenance of public order to ignore the immensity of the changes in the rela tion of the employers and employed class oc casioned by the phenomenal development of commerce and the prevalence of labor or ganizations. Wo nro in this case directly concerned with a corporation and a labor organization nud both engaged in railway transportation. In this department of in dustry it is reported by the Interstate Com merce commission that there is invested in the United States f0.82,473,01IS ! ) , or nearly eight times the entire national debt of the country. Last year the railroads transported 530,000,000 pas- etigors or more than eight times the entire population of the United States. Th a oper atives employed by the railroads number 71,000 , and It is no trilling testimony to the faithfu n2ss and elllciency of this mighty army of railroad employes that ot the vast population transported under their care only ' 2't ) : , or less than ono two-thousandth of 1 per cent , lost their lives. I moreover , dis cover that no employes of a railroad more than the locomotive engineers tire charged with the preservation of life and property. When wo arc advised that more than 80 per cent of the locomotive engineers of the United States belong to the brotherhood it Is dirtlcult to believe that their membership lessens efficiency to employers or fidel ity to their supreme duty to the nublic. But whether these facts , and other facts equally well known and equally sicnillcant , will justify govern mental control of contracts essential to the uninterrupted transportation of tn country in which the public is so vitally concerned it is clear that where the property of a railway or other corpo.-.ition is being administered by a receiver under the superintending power of a court of equity it is competent for the court to adjust ditllculties between the re ceiver and his employes which , in the ab sence of such adjustment , would tend to injure - jure the property and to defeat the purpose of the receivership. Indeed , the power of the court to direct a contract between its officers does not appear to bo questioned. The most important difference- between the parties is as to the otfeet upon the duty to the court and property of the rule of the brotherhood , which is understood by the court to bo as follows : Twelfth That hereafter that when an Issue has been sustained by the Brand chief and car ried Into olIVcl by the Brotherhood ot l.oco- motlvu Kiilneer.s ( , it shall be recoKiii/.cd as a violation of the obligation If a muiubur of the Itrothurhood of LocomotiveKnKlnccrs who may bo employed on a railroad run In connec tion with , or adjacent losald roadcontinues to handle the property belonging to said railroader or system In any way that may bum-Ill said company with which the ItrothciTiood of I.oco- inotfvo KiiKlnoors are at Issue until the grlov- ancc.s , or Issiius of dlireriinccs of any nature or kind , havulH'on amicably sot tied. "Tills rule is understood to have been adopted by itho brotherhood in Denver three years ago. in his testimony Mr. A. B. Voungson , the assistant chief engineer , de cided that the effect of tnis rule as applied to the properties in the hands of the receiver and the engineers in his employ would be as follows : " If in the pursuance of the business of a common carrier , with which the receiver is charged , It should become necessary to con voy over the lines of the Central railroad a car belonging to a rallro.ul company on which there- was a strike of the engineers , it would bo the duty of the brotherhood men in the employ of the receiver to ruluse to haul the train containing such car , and If'the officers of the road Insisted that the car should pro ceed , loyalty to the brotherhood required that the engineer should at once resign his b tat Ion and abandon his duty. ' " "Ho might , ho stated , if ho thought proper to carry the train to the terminal point. Now , there cannot be a doubt that this rule of the i brotherhood Is In direct and posi tive violation of the laws of the land and no court , state or federal , could hesitate for a moment so to declare. It Is plainly a rule , or an agreement In restraint of trade or com merce , as described In the Sherman anti trust law. A combination of persons , with out regard to their occupation , which would liuvo the uffcct to defeat the provisions ol the Interstate commerce law , invit ing discrimination m the transportation ol Irulghl or passengers would be liable to the severe penalties of the statutes. Now It is true tlr.it in tuv vJncelvablo. strike upon the transportationj lines of this country , whether iniiliinlhie or branch roads , then' would bo Interference with Interstate or foreign commcrJc. it will be practically lniKsstblo | hcrcnfter , for a body of men to combine to hlmli'l'nitid delay the work of the transportation- company without becoming obnoxious to IhrgprovlslouR of these laws ; and a combination or agreement of railway onielals or other representatives of capital , with the same Kffijet , will bo equally under the b.if of ' the penal statutes , Organized ' 'laliOr. ' when Injustice has been lluife , or threatened to its membership , ulill llml Its useful and valu able mission lnpf.fsontliig to the courts of the country a , , strong and resolute protest and a petition Tor redress against unlawful trusts and other combinations which would do unlawful wrong to it. Its membership has no doubt that their counsel will be heard , nor that speedy or exact Justice will be administered wherever the courts have Jurisdiction , ( t will follow , therefore , that In all such controversies it will bo compe tent , as we have done In this case , for the courts to reserve the present rights of the operatives to sp.ire them hardship and at the s.imo time to spare the public the unmerited - merited hardship which it has suffered from such conflicts In the past. " "Tho Central railroad has less than two curs per mile. It Is therefore Insensible that It should use the cars of other Hues , but If It wore .otherwise It wottlu bo imtwssible , under'tho present system , to deny tliu cars nud freight of other Hues transit over the lines of the Central without violation of the law. The receiver cannot violate the law and the engineers cannot compel him to dose so without themselves becoming obnoxious to the criminal statutes , and the court does not doubt from their bearing and testimony in this case that they need only to be ad vised of these facts when they will imme diately recede from the unlawful and most dangerous attitude in which this rule has placed them. It Is Indeed a rule which more than nil others has given strength and com fort to the enemies of organized labor. * * * When any engineer may at any time exorcso Ills right us nn individual to leave the service of the receiver ho may not do so in such manner as to injure the prop erty or impede Its proper management by the receiver. In cuse of any issue with the management In which the brotherhood or its members are concerned , and the members in the employ of the receiver Fhall desire to leave his service in a body or otherwise in such manner as may in any way Impede the operations of tliu road , they will be required to do so upon such terms and conditions as the court may think proper for the protec tion of the property and the maintenance of lusticu and fair play to all concerned.1' UIOTOUS Ill-l.l.

The stoimships Monte Belle and Komco put out from the Hull docks last night and anchored in the roads so as to bo able to take aboard their crews nt a safe distance from the rioters. Two companies of dragoons , armed with lances , formed on both sides of. the crows about two hours later and escorted them to the ten ders. The police , who had been called out in full force , triqd. to keep the mob back , but the strikers broke1 through the lines repeat edly and begun 'stoning the soldiers. The police swung their clubs right and left , cracking heads and battering faces. When the rioters crowded up in front of the crews so as to stop their progress , the dragoons beat them back with the butts of their lances. Several police and dragoons were injured with stones thrown by the rioters and a dozen strikers were carried from the scene of conflict by thcl t'omradcs. At the docks the crews were placed on the tenders and proceeded to the stuamers. Both sailed this morning. > A gunboat arrived today at Hull and anchored in the roads. Another is expected to arrive tonight or tomorrow. It is hoped that the presence of the gunboats will awe the strikers sufllcieutly to prevent further violence. At all oyisuts the marines will oe eflicient reinforcements for the military already at Hull in case of emergency. A largo but orderly meeting of the strikers was held this afternoon. Ben Tillett and Joseph Havclock Wilson , labor member of Parliament for MIddlesborough , made the principal addresses. Both exhorted the men to hold fast to their present position , and Mr. Wilson proclaimed the intention to produce a general strike. The strikers at Grimsby , fifteen miles south of Hull , re solved at a meeting tills afternoon to handle no freight for Hull ships which go to Grimsby to be loaded. The resolution was almost unopposed. AFI-'AIKS OF TIIK SANTA. I'K. Some of the Mull DlisulUllL'd Over the Order to u Out. TOPKKA , Kan. , April 0. There wcro no developments in the strike of locomotive shopmen of the Santa Fo Uailroad con.pjiny today and the seriousness of it cannot oven be approximated before tomorrow. The strikers are loth to give out the particu lars of their grievances , and these of them who know the exact terms of the proposi tions submitted by the grievance committee to the railroad company admit that there is little if any difference so far as wages are concerned. The real point at issue is whether the company shall enter into u written contract with the three unions controlling the me chanics in the locomotive shops or continue to deal with the men as individuals as it has been doing. JNo distiuctioti lias been made between union and nonunion men , and while the union does not at this time demand the employment of union men exclusively , the company officials feel that their demands are going in that direction. So far no excitement has been manifested. The shops and yards \vcro deserted today. A large number of applications for positions were received from men desirous of filling the strikers' places. None of these have been acted upon. Ono of the strikers who was interviewed today said that in his opinion the strike was premature and that dissatisfaction over its having been ordered was already beginning to show itself among the men. The speaker said ho Intended to return to worK Monday or Tuesday and ho thought others w uld do tnosamo. Inquiries among the men failed to reveal this sentiment. May Itiisult 111 .Strike.

While every one \\as deeply interested in the match and lots of money was being bet , it was announced that three sheriffs were in the house mid asked every ono to keep quiet and not cause mi > disturbance. This request only ainu.sed the crowd and they kept up their betting and loud talk. Presently Dep uty She : Iff Daly climbed up In a seat at the side of the pit and demanded that the light stop right there. If the roof had fallen in or a bomb ex ploded the crowd could not have cleared out quicker. Some went through the windows , but the majority of the mob crowded out the big double doors leading into the garden. All this time the dogs were attending strictly to their own business and hanging onto each other's necks with all the strength they possessed. Most of the gang hurried hack and the fight went on. Some of the ruffians in the crowd suggested that Daly be thrown out of the window , while others wanted to chuck htm in the watering trough. But the deputy stood his ground and In a few mo ments the ilogs were parted and the light de clared a draw. There is a prize fight between two colored hotel bell bo.ys booked for tonight , but it is hardly probable that it will come off , as the authorities intend breaking up the carousing and lighting at the Tictz resort. : ii : , ci.tm DOING- ; .

When George Slos- son intimated to some personal friends a few days ago that he would retire from active participation m billiards , as regards compe- petition in matches or tournaments , it was not thought that the great expert was sin cere. Maurice Daly called on Slosson at the hitter's room on Broadway and had an ex tended conference with him in relation to u match with Frank Ives to bo played in this city in the near future. Slossnn , however , would not listen to the proposi tion , and told Daly that Ives had been making a match with him for a long time and ho did not thinkthe latter had any intention of playing. Consequently it would bo useless to issue it challenge for a match. In speaking of his retirement Slossou said : ' Aiy main reason for retiring is in order for mo to give my full attention to my billiard room. My business interests have increased so much that I cannot spare the time necessary to make matches. So after being for a number of years before the public 1 wish to say to my many friends that 1 have entered the arena for the last time and here after I shall bo known as a 'roomkeoper , ' not u candidate for championship honors.
