O'Clock This afternoon General Manager

Northern, calle d at Chief Artour's private
room. Mr.. Harris is manager of the road
on which the strike was ordered to occur
st O'CLOCK this evening. The road ex-
tends from Savanna, H., to Minneapolis.
Chief Arthur came from the grievance
committee meeting to meet Mr.. Harris.
Mr.. Harris 1t quested Mr.. Arthu1's assist.
snce in Aver,ing the threatened strike.
To this Mr.. Arthur replied that
he had not been consulted by
the men about the striking and therefore
II they struck it was their own fight. He
could not interfere either for or against
either side. This made it necessary for
Mr.. Harris to discuss the differences with
his own men. The grievance committee
OF the road was called in from the &c neral
meeting and talk was had. An hours
discussion resulted in an order to the
men not TO strike and the matter is h Id

BACKBONE BROKEN
CHICAGO, ILL, March ST. don't hes
itate to say" said Paul Morton, speaking
for the company, "thst the backbone Of
the strike is broken. The tail Of the ami
NAL still lives, but that doesn't generally
die until after sunset. It Is not the tail
of whale, however, and It's lashing i
not gong to hurt anybody. We are run-
ming q sufficient number OF passenger
trains to accommodate al the bushes s AND
our freight traffic has about assumed
it's normal condition. we have taken all
the engineers ana d emen We csn handle
and have ms ructed our eastern agents
not 10 send any more men ualess they
happen to he thoroughly competent en-
gineers. TIE effect CT the engineers
going out on the Chicago, Burlington and
n Jrlhern road is not going to interfere
with our business. I have jGsr
hsd talk with Mr.. Hsrris,
general manager Of that road, and
he tells me he will probably take the men
i that we cannot use ourselves, meaning
the engineers and fremen who come 10
Us from the east. We have received NO
overtures from the strikers. No confer
ences have been held, and as far IS know
matters are in precisely the same shape
they were on Saturday. There is nothing
in the rumor that some of the men who
have come to Us are members OF the
brotherhood and have simply taken the
positions with view OF abandoning TIT N
later, snd thus embarrassing the road.
Some of our conductors feel that they
have been done an IL justice by the pub
nshed statement THAI they were laid OF
because of sympathy with the strikers,
The truth is our conductors and train
men have been loyal from the beginning
and In simple justice to them Idesire to
say that none have been discharged"
