REPORT OF THE coMMIrrEE.

Very Brief and Pointed Statement Of tho
The settlement was reached late Tues
day night after long conference be-
tween President Hill and the confer
ence committee representing his en-
ployes regarding all grievances which
caused the breach. The joint commit
tee of business men Of the two cities
was present, and acted az . board Of ar
bitration. The findings of the board Of
arbitration was very brief and to the
point, as follows:
Whereas, At q joint meeting held
this day between the management Of
the Great Northern railway, It's en-
ployes and this committee Of arbitr o.
tion. ut least ninety (9W per cent Of the
differences in wages in controversy were
amicably settled between the company
and its employees.
Now, after hearing the statements
submitted by the parties in interest, we
find az a result Of our deliberations that
rs per cent OF the reduction in wages
made since Aug. !, 1893, OF all other
classes Of men whose claims were sub
mitted TO us, should be restored"
One copy Of this document was fur
nished to President Hill, on behalf Of
the company, and one to President
Dets ON behalf of the employees. G. A.
Pillsbury, chairman OF the joint com-
mittee or board Of arbitration, read the
document slowly, and enunciated every
syllable, 90 that none present might
have any erroneous impression regard
ing any detail OF the boards findings.
Both President Hill and President Debs
expressed entire satisfaction with the
boards decision, and expressed their
feelings Of gratitude to the board for its
kindly interest and fair dealings.

the committee for the purpose Of cor
recting certain erroneous impressions

PfIlsbury's Remarks
G. A. Pillsbury, chairman Of the
joint committee. was the next speaker.
He was scarcely able to express his feel
ings over the settlement. He made no
claim to being a public speaker, but
proceeded to make an able speech just
the same. He baid: Il told the com
mittee today that IL was necessary that
thers should be harmony. which now
exists and Is going to exist on the great
est railroad in the Northwest. This
could mot have been secured III it were

Mr.. Rogers of the union was asked I'd
speak, but he thought that all had ex-
pressed themselves completely through
their representatives. and asked to be
excused.
Az the meeting was dispersing one Of
ths officials pointed to Mr.. Pillsbury and
said: THAT is the kind Of man we
would make United States senator's oa
if we were wise.''

Governor Nelson suggested arbitration
some days since but his action did not
meet with success. Several other at-

failed, the men claiming their demands
were just and did not admit Of arbitra-
tion. Finally, however, they agreed to
have the matter submitted 10
the citizens' committee and de-
clased their willingness 70 abide
by the decision. Various confer
ences were held by the committee
with President Hill and with the labor
leaders. Mr.. Hill was in favor Of arbi-
tration all along and agreed TO any sys-
tsm OF arbitration ON condition that the
men would resume work. The commit

While the matter Of adjustment was

the committee statement OF les side Of

issued by Hogan and Goodwin on April

has heretofore been published OF their

went ON to discuss the strife between
rival organizations; its own proposition
for arbitration; the fact that Twin City
men largely constituted the committee
which attempted to adjust the matter;
ito efforts to secure arbitration, etc.
As soon as the board made known its
decision the union officers sent mes-
sages over the wires to every point on

The days passed rapidly. and despite

TO distant garrison, where he vowed
he would begin his military career
anew.
With tender, loving hands Alice adj
ministered to her lovers every want,
and the roses decpcncd in her checks,
her eyes grew brighter and her musical
laugh took on n more joyous ring us
she noted his fast increasing strength.
When he was at last permitted to rise
from his cot and walk slowly about
