BUTTE. April -3.-trom kilograms that
we're received at strikers headquarters to-
day, it is apparent that an attempt is be-
ing made TO disrupt the A. Il. u. by in.
ducing tho engineers aud flrcmen TO go
back 10 work at the old rate Of pay. From
other telegrams that were also received by
The strikers committee, they say it is
equally apparent that tho attempt will
prove dismal failure.
Two men named Nolan and updcgroye,
the chairmen of the engineers and fire.
mems committee that went to ST. Paul
about six weeks ago, sent out the follow.
owing message TO the b. OF L. Z. and b. of
L. +. lodges on the system this forenoon /:
THE pay schedule of engineers and fire.
men that was in effect prior to August.
1885, has been restored from April. Would
advise you 10 go back to work.
For reasons best known TO themselves,
the Great Northern engineers and fire.
men have had no love for Nolan and Up
degroyc ever since the meeting held in St.
Paul to discuss the wage question, ana
their message seems TO have had tho very
opposite effect from that which it was
hoped to have. Henry Thomas, to whom
rccted. sent Nolan and Updegrove the
following messages this evening: "En.
gineers aud firemen ignore your message.
We will 90 to work when the A. II. U. says
SO and not before"
The chairman Of the A. r. Y. at Kalis-
pei telegraphed as follows: Engineers
and Bremen received messages from No
Ian and Updegrove, ST. Paul, notifying
them Of restoration of pay and advising
them TO go back 10 work. Engineers re-
Piled: Our fortunes are with the A. Il.
u, and we cannot accept anything but
what the A. r. L. advises us to take The
firemen replied: You have your nerves.
Tell your troubles TO L. V. Debs. He Is
our man."
The following was received from Minot
n. D.: "Never fear for Minoi, we will be
with Butte at the finish. Have wired
Dehs that the engine men are solid"
ST. Cloud, MIMI. sent the following la.
comic message: "Wo are waiting for the
big show, solid TO man."
The following was received from Eas,
Spokane: ave are standing by the A. r.
U. principles solid, one for all and all fol
one. Engineers and firemcn here have
| ignored instructions of Nolan and Upde
grove. Debs has been notified and We
will no. be divided"
The strikers consider the message from
| Spokane as being the most important oI
all that we're received to-day and II caused
| them the greatest satisfaction. In the
STANDARDS associated press dispatche,
this morning was a copy OF Telegram
that Superintendent Farrell OF Spokane
was alleged to have sent to President Hill
| to the effect that all engineers, firemen
conductors and brakemen in Spokane
were ready 10 go to work when he called
on them. While the strikers committed
here have every confidence in the faith
| fulness of the men AT Spokane, the iten
referred TO made them a little uneasy un
Ill they received the telegram abov,
quoted from East Spokane, when al
doubts were removed and complete conf
dcnce restored.
Director Hogan and the men here hav,
been claiming ever since the strike com
menccd that the associated press wal
sending out false reports for Presiden
Hill and they say that the telegram from
| spokane is conclusive proof TO them. q
least, that such is the case. Other tele
grams that we're received at headquarter
here to-day from different points on tn,
system were equally as encouraging a
those quoted, and the men feel very vel
satisfied with the events of the past 2
hours.
Reports are commencing TO come in I,
the circular letter that was sent out about
10 days ago. a copy of which appeared ii
the STANDARD, to all A. II. U. lodges il
the country asking for their assistance
Every reply that has been received. an,
they are quite numerous, promises finau
cial aid in sums of $50 and upwards, witt
promises that more money will be raise'
il necessary. In some cities subscription
lists have been started and II is reportet
that the money is coming in fast. 1t
quite evident that the strikers will no
lack money TO carry on the Hght for som
time.
