He Says He Il Fighting the General Man
ayers Association.
HELENA, Mon, April 26.-On the ap-
plication of the Great Northern, Judge
Knowles, of the United States district
court, issued an order directed to James
Hogan, T. T. Richardson and others of
the strikers, to show cause why an in
junction should not be issued restrain
ing them, as mem bers of the American
Railway union, or otherwise, from in
any way interfering with the operation
of the road. The application will be
heard next Monday. Mr.. Hogan, when
asked what bearing this notice would
have on the strike, said:
This injunction is to restrain us from
doing what we have not done and are
not going to do. We have never as
serted that we would do what is here
charged. 1t will have no effect on this
strike, but may cause
Every Road in the Country
to be tied up. This injunction is en-
tirely immaterial. At present the men
are not fighting the Great Northern,
but the General Managers Association
of the United States, representing all
roads, and capitalized at $4,000, ,0oO,-
900. The association claims it is going
to enforce its conditions, and it the
men resist the cost OF suppressing them
will be paid by pro rata assessment
on sll roads. The only way to fight
fire is with fire. If it is fair for the
members of the General Managers as
sociation to assist each other, it is fair
and proper that the men on all roads
should assist each other. There are
now four Pacific transcontinental lines
clamoring for word to 60 out on Il
strike, and bear it we'll in mind that
these men will have something to say
about the conditions under which they
are to work.

view From Twelve States.
CHICAGO, April 2G.-Reports have
been received from the special corre-
spondents of the Farmers Review in ~
states on the condition Of winter wheat,
spring wheat and oats. In Illinois it is
now evident that great deal of dam.
age was done by the hard freeze in the
latter part of March, but this loss to the
crop is fast being neutralized by the
good growing weather of the present
month. In Indiana the permanent dam
age was not great. In Ohio the condi-
ton is not so good but yet no great dam
age has been sustained. The condition
is generally
From Fair to Good.
In Michigan little reference is made
to the cold weather as injuring wheat.
From Kentucky comes the positive re-
ports that the freeze did little harm.
In places where the plant had appar.
emily lcen killed by cold, the warm
weather has brought it out of its poor
condition, and fair crop is looked for.
The general condition in the state is
good. In some counties in Missouri the
late freeze and dry weather have con-
siderably reduced the condition Of the
crop, but recent conditions are more
favorable and are bringing up the aver
age. The general condition of the state
is fair.
In Kansas the damage done by the
freeze was not great, but great damage
has been done in several counties and
the average as whole is low. In Ne
braska the condition is not more than
fair and in some localities the crop is in
bad shape as a result of drought. In
Iowa the crop is in certain counties
badly damaged, but seems to be better
ing. In Wisconsin not much change
has been reported over last month.
