The Case Reviewed at Length and the Legal Relations of the Brother- hood to the Company Fully Explained. The Injunction Case. A court room full of legal luminaries, rail- foad officials and members of the brother- hood of engineers and firemen assembled yes- terday afternoon to listen to the decision of Judge Dundy in the injunction asked for against the Union Pacific et al. Before read- ing the document the judge first said: “1 find that one newspaper has charged the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy with bribing mo, and with my taking that bribe. It has also been said that the Union Pacific has a mortgage on me. Now I will say to eve Dbody connected with newspapers that what- over they may say will have no influence at allonme. What I do is from the standpoint of my official duties. I do not ask any ofice, and I don’t want even the office T now hold.” A8 to the matter now in hand T will s that I have been pressed for a dec 1 have made one without as muck research a8 under different circumstances 1 would have done.” He then proceeded to read his decision, which is ini substance as follows This suit is brought for the purpose of compelling the Union Pacific railroad com- pany, its officers, managers, agents and em- ployes to discharge the duties enjoined on 1 by law, duties which, it is claimed, alike to the public and the plaintiff 1t is stated in the bill that the plaintift is a common carrier, and is now engaged in int state commeree, and is subject 1) the law of the United States that was recently passed to regulate this sort of traftic; that ithe Union Pacific railroad company was organized under a law of the United States, and is also @ common carrier and engaged in interstate commerce; that the defendant road has de- clined and still refuses to transport and carry over its lines at least & portion of plaintifi’s , cars, without just, reasonable or lawful causo or excuse therefor, thereby discrimi nating against the plaintiff in the operation of its roud and the transaction of its busi ness, in violation of law. That the two ronds Lawve facilities for interchanging of freight and cars, and that the plaintiff is not afforded the same opportunitics for moving its cars and transporting its freights as the defendaut road affords to other lines of railroad similarly situated. The bill further shows that the other defendants are servants or employes of the defendant engaged in operating the road, some or ail of them being locomotive engineers; that they have declined and still refuse to take and receive and trausport dver the defendant road at least @ portion of plain- 1if’s cars without valid reason or lawful ex- cuse, thercby discriminating against the plaintiff and its business, and solely because the cars so refused belong to the planufl in this suit. It is further ulleged that the , have combined, con federated and conspired together for the pur pose of preventing the interchange of traftic etween the sald roads and e 1y vent the plaintiff's cars from being trans ported and hauled over any: part of the Union Plcific systoms of roads, thereby violating the provisions of the inter-state commerce law, ete. Some of these statemeuts are de- nied by the answer to the bill, but I base wy judgment mainly on propositions of law about Which there is less dispute. Railroad com- panies s common carriers are subject to the same privileges and liabilities as individuals. Now whaiover doubts there may bé with reference to the condition and efficacy of the common law, so far as it relates to and bears upou ihe question under cousideration, vertaiuly there can be none. with reference to the condition and eficacy of the statute law of the United States, that must be applicd in this particular case. It was at one time claimed that the Union Pactfic had been discriminating against_the ranches of the road, and had refused to afford them proper facilities for transporting freight and persons from cast to west. This claim was so persistently made that it led to the passage of the most important law that has emanated from congress on tho p: lar subject embraced in it. It was seems to me, to meet questions almos tical with the ones here under consideration, and in my judgement it does meet and pro- vide for thom most effcctually. 1t is as follows: “Any officer oragent of the companics authorized ' to construct the afore- said roads, or of uny company engaged - in operating either of sald roads, who shall re- fuse to operate and use the road or telegraph under his contract, or which he is engaged in operating for all purposes of communication, travel and transportation, so far as the public and the government are concerned, as one continuous line, or shall refuse in such operation_and use, to afford and secure to cach of said roads equal advantages and facil- iies as to rates, time, or trausportation, without any discrimination of any kind in favor of, or adverse to, the road or business of any or either of said companies shall bo deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $1,000, and may be imprisoned 1ot less than six months. To refuse to do things required by the law above quoted constitutes an offenso agaiust » United States, for which a person so re- y be indicted in the federal court. ults from a_failure or refusal of the Union Pacific . railroad com- pany, oreither of the other roads namcd, to comply with the said kaw, the injured party has a remedy in dambges for the wronigs dono or injuries suffered. It will be observed that if the officers or agents engaged in operating the roads refuse to do sertain things required of them by the law commit an off se against the Unit s for which they may be severely pun- d, but if the roads named, or any one of them, negleet or refuse to do what is required of them, then an injurcd or aggricved party Las his remedy i court by the recovery of dumages for the wrongs done. This, it seems to me, ought to satisfy the tastes and whims of the most fastidious ob- jector, und to satisfy and convinge ¢ one that the Union Pacific railroad company is bound to receive freight and cars from” the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney road when and to transport the same over its et mands of the public merce seem 1o re al * nature, but Lin their application to' the Ulilon Pacific railroad, and the several branches thercof, But this is not the stal all the law that affects arties to this controversy. ‘The inter. ommerce law is decmed to be appli cable to this controversy, and binds to its fullest cxtent both roads, the oficers, ageuts, employes and servants thereof. 3 of that law requires every ubject to the provis rding to their respective powers, sonable, proper and pqual fa for the interchange of trafiic between pectivo lines, and prohibits discrimi nations in_rates and charges between such lines, But this provision, it is submitted, imposes no new or additional obligutions on cithor of these two roads, The eighth section of the remedy for an injured iy be saught ai subject 10 it t do, cause to be or thing" ful, by the terms thereof law is a8 folluws: “That any ¢ provisions of aw provides a which remedy b Section 10 of the umon this act, or er subject to the whencyer such common carrier isa corporation, any direc tor or officer thereof, or amy receiver, trustee, lesse, agent, or person acting for or employed by such corporation, who, alone or with any other corporation, com pany, persou or party, shall wilfully do or cause to be done, or shall willingly suf- fer or pérmit to be done, any ack prohibited or declared to be unlawful, or who shall aid or abet therein, or shall willfully omit orfail to do any act, matter or thing in this act’ required to be done, or shall cause, or willingly. suffer or perwit any act, mat- ter, or thing so directed or required by this acttobo done not to beso done. or shall aid, or abet any such omission or failure, or 'shall be guilty of any infraction of this_act, or shall aid or abet therein, shall be decmed guilty of a misdemeanor) and shall, upon conviction thereof in any district court of the United States, within the jurisdiction of which such ofténse was committed, be subject to a fine of not to ex- ceed $5,000 for cach offense.’” This scems to include all persons in the employ of the railroad companics named, and all other companies and persons who might join with them, or aid and abet, in the commission of any ‘matter or thing’ prohibited by law. Neither of the said roads nor their officers, mauagers, agents, employes or servants can lawfully euter into any agreement, combina- tion, confederacy, or conspiracy, between themselves or othérs, for the purpose of vio- lating a single provision of the intor-state commerce law. As the law requires the Union Pacific road to take and receive from the plaintiff freight and cars when offered for transportation, and that, too, without dis- crimination, it becomes the duty of the com- pany, its officers and the employes en- gaged in operating the road and running the trains, to so_receive and transport the cars of plaintiff the same that is done for other roads. If they refuse to do this they incur the penalty denounced by thetenth sec- tion of the law before referred to. Can they then enter into any sort of an arrangement to defeat the operation of the law and thus 1t the plaintiff from having its cars re- ceived and transported by the Union Pacific road without being guilty of a conspiracy to defeat and nullify the operation of the law? If a cons| d to preyent the Union I i ca most _cleariy an offense 1 1 The “offel nsists in refus |1IL' to take the cars and intercha aftic with other roads subject to the provisions of the law, As it is an offense against the United States to do this, it is also an offense against the same for two or more persons to enter into a conspiracy to do the same thing. Now, the interstat tifics the issuing of injunctions, *'man or otherwise,” for the purpose of enfol the provisions of the law. The power and authiority for such procedure is beyond dis pute; and for such purposes the circuit court shall be deemed alwa Now, if two or morc parties enter combination and conspiracy to violate the inter-state commerce law, and at least one of them commit an overt act in_ furtherance of the common design, all the parties joining in the conspiracy would be liable to suffer, What think you the penalty would be? It is supposed that the conspirators would incur the same penalty and receive the same pun te the 10th > law? By Lo conspira nd mor striugent in its provisions than the other one. The law in question is so plain that it cannot well be misunderstood, 1t is as follows: “If £WO OF IOre Persons conspi her to com- mit any offense against the United States, or to defraud tagdnited States in any mann fihose, and one or more of such y act to effect the object of the conspiracy, all the partics to such conspiracy shall be liable to a penalty of not more than 10,000 or to 1nprisonment for not more than two years, or both fine and_imprisonment in the discretion of the court.” O ly such acts as would naturally and necessarily tend to prevent a due interchange of business between the two roads - would make the offense complete and parties would be liable accordi The penalty for e tering into & couspiracy to violate the la and by so doing, committing an offense inst the United States, is more severe 1 th puu!\ imposed a direct viola id_iuter-state commerce law into a e of t i louger than it suits conyenience to do s0. 1 hold, then, that it is the duty of t!

That none of the defendants, or in fact any persons whether in the'employ of the Union Pacific road or not, have any right to oowbine, con- federate or conspire, and do-any act pursuant thereto, for the purpose of hindering and de- laying the moving of cars and freight of the plaintiff, by the Union Pacific road or any other road, ‘and thereby interrupting tho commerce = of the country that way greatly injuring proverty and business of the plaintiff, And when that is proposed or sought to be done or attempted by any unauthorized com bination of persons they ought to be re- strained from entering into the conspi and from doing any act or thing in furthe: ance of the common design, or to etfect the object of the conspiracy; and also from in any manner interfering with the busiucss or employes of the party or corporation whoso property interests would otherwise be injur- iously affected. ‘There is no law, human or divine, so far as I kuow, to compél these defendauts, or any one of them, to remain in the service of the defendant Toad against their, or his, will. Certainly, however much I might regret a determination on their part to leave the road, I shall not undertake to pre- vent it by injunction or otherwise. They doubtless undorstood perfectly well that they arc at liberty to withdraw from the service of the company, so far as this suit is con- corned. But, at the same time, it must be understood that in so doing, b is with the lifications and limitations before stated. Phat sort of liberty must not be abused nor companied with wrongful and injurious acts to the property rights of others. If otherwise, it is liable, if not certain, to prove in the end, that the “velvet glove of liberty encascs thio merciloss & and of the law." Tapply the law as I find it.

Onana, March 17.—To the Editor of the Bee: In Tuesday's issue of your paper ap- pears an article estimating the cost of manu facturing brick here, according to a manu facturer's view, which is much exaggerated. Iu behalf of other trades unions of the city and the publicin general, the brick moulders, many of whom have had as much or more experienge as the manufacturer referred to, desire to give a truthful statement through the columns of your valuable paper. We do admit that there is a difference of time required to burn brick in different localities, the impediments arising from dif ference in clay, ete., but are not 80 great as has been cited in the le referred to. For instance, he asserts that r be b urned in Kansas City or 5t. Louis in from three to four days. Heg to differ, neighbor, as it takes from six to eight days in Kausas City and from eight to ten in St. Louis. He claims that requires from eleven to thirteen days ‘herg, but dogs not remind us that five or six of ‘those days awe consumed in clearing off thp water smoke, which is a trifling expense compared to actual burning, as it roquires but' one msu uud very little fuel. The only conclusion we can come to in regard to the genérosily of the gas managers of Denver city furnishing coke froe of cost is that they must' have a nobler conception of what constitutés a legal and more honor ablo organization, and are perhaps endeavor. du to down tho “brick trust” of Omaha ys the price of coal to manufacturor: fasaaie high as #4.50 per ton, while w can prove very conclusively that it is luid down in their yards for §3.15 per If in other cities it can be procured cheaper brick makers here should realize it as only a trifie compared 10 numerous advantages thoy enjoy over manufucturers in those other numed places, viz.: the ready market, high price at which brick is #old, cheap labor and the enor: mous profit derived by the munufacturer Taking his own words for it “they receive from §0.50 to $11.00 per 1,000, making an av per 1,000, of brick required to coustitute a moulder and sotter's day's work is one- sixth in excess of that required at any other point n thus coyntry The following tabie is a liberal estimate of the cost of producing 1,000 brick, as based upon the scale of wages for moulders and MEN'’S FURNISHING, GOODS.

Charles Francis Adams, president of the Union Pacific, yesterday issued the following order from his office at Boston: To Heads of Departments and All Con- cerned: _ Until otherwise ordered, Mr. Thomas L. Kimball will assume the duties of general manager of this company, with the title of acting general manager, having head- quarters at Omaha, Neb.

The acting general manager will report direct to the president of the company. This order will take effect from this date, The order w not a surprise atthe com- pany headquarters, where it had been ex- pected and hoped for ever since the death of Mr. Potter. Mr. Kimball’s fituess for the has been demonstrated. He has ractically the general manager of the road since Mr. Potter illuess. Among Omah: tizens who have been informed of the promotion, the feeling is gencral that this ci interests will be in safe bands. In 1 railvoud ¢ the general impression is that Mr. Kimball's appointment will be made permanent, Thomas. L. Kimball is a native of Maine, ffty-cight years old, receiyed an academic education, taught school in New England untit he was twenty-one, followed it up by engaging in the commercial and expross bus iness for four ycars, moved westward in 1856, locating in northern Ohi , and finally settled in Cincinnati in 1850, h some newspaper writing and repor wrote some stirring circulars for the Pe sylvania railroad company.

Scott was elected president of the Union Pacific railway company and Mr, Kimball was appointed to the position of general passenger and ticket agent of the Union Pacific.

During this long period Mr, Kimball has remained with the Union Pacific throughout all changes of admmistration, For ten yeurs he filled the oftice to which he was first appointed, gen era) passenger and ticket agent, He was then promoted to be assistant general mana ger, which oftice he filled for four years.

THE PHANTOM TRAIN. Leadville Herald: My spoke concerning our mission to Beros 1 spot. - **About s ago,"” said, *'an old man by the name of Cearnals was the pro- prietor of a jack train, with which he used to bring provisions and other com- modities into that mining eamp you se beneath you there. This was befo the railvoads entered t iesses of these mountains, and .»\.»nllm.vv wis brought by mule teams or by jack trains into the camp, The treasures which were found in the hills were carried out the same way, Oune time the old man Cearnals did not arrive in the camp on time. ’T'was in the winter —and the eoldest one, 100, ever exy ienced in these hills. A searching party was sent out to find him and his companion train, as the people who had goods con- signed 1o him feared thatsome accident had befallen him. Near where we are vow is where his train was found frozen to death. And now each night may be scen the jack train just us they were, but in the form of spectre ing. along their way to the camp. Get out and we will go down the trail apiece and see them.” We got out of the buggy, and * fastening the horse to a stunted - pine we descended the other side of the range on the road to Alma.. After: a most perilous and torturous walk of half an hour, on account of the slippery condition of the ground, which was cov- ered with snow, my companion led me to a point mnear the old Lead- ville trail, which could be distinetly seen above us, against the side of the mountain. Look- ing at his watch, he remarked that it was almost time for ‘‘them” to appear. After kicking the snow from a couple of bowlders we sat down in silence awaited developments. My companion would not ay a word, but simply puffed away at a fzar, his looks being cast in the' direc- tion of the trail. We waited at least half an hour, but_ it seemed a week to me, a cold wind having arisen, and I was almost frozen and was wishing my- self at home. Suddenly my companion clutched me nervously by the arm and pointed to the tra The sight that T made each individual . hair on my head stand on end, for there on the trail, coming around a sharp angle caused by @ bowlder, was a jack train of twenty- three animals. They all emitted a faint phosphorescent glow, which made them appear all the more vivid against the side of the hill, They different articl sctral driver was urging on with his short gond, seemed to be londed with flour, gver once in a while, as the train slowly mei along, this last k would lean his load against a projecting rock, as if resting himself. This would cause the driver to punch it with his short stick, The weird specters slowly passed from view around the hill, and, more dead than alive from fright, we made our way to where we had left the horse and buggy. My companion informed me while on our way back to the city that this strange sight could be scen through any dark night, " ENGLISH HOMESPUNS AND IRISH TWEEDS ! 11 English Parliament with Trish, but that ds still struggling Home Rule, not preveut us from offer. ing to our customers splendid line of gentlomen's) springs suits—the very lat est styles, three-button| cutaways and sacks—from| the above-nawmed, justly, pular - fabrics.
