Missoulian: 1t is quietly rumored
about in railroad circles that trouble il
brewing between the Northern Pacific
railway and its train men on the Rocky
Mountain division. But little can bt
learned regarding the matter, as nothing
bearing on the subject has been made
public. Yesterday Assistant Genera
Superintendent Dickinson visited Mis-
soula, and it is limited that his presence
here was to investigate the matter. Alst
the visit to this city Of Vice Grand Mas

Of the threatened breach is a mystery tt
those outside of railroad circles. In {
few days, it is intimated, that the matter
will come to focus and it may result il
a strike of serious nature.
