MINNEAPoI1s,A April 80. The situation
remains unchanged. Both sides had
Innings yesterday, and it can hardly be
said that either side made any percept-
tble gains. The strikers were attend
i ing meetings most all day, and they
kept away from the railroad property
almost without exception. In this re.
spect it has been remarkable strike,
and there seems to be no reason to fear
any overt acts on the part of the strik-
ers.
The railroad company made some
Roadway yesterday in securing the aid
of the engineers and firemen at st.
Cloud, who voted to go back to work,
but this was offset to certain extent
by the reports which came in from all
along other points on the Great North
m system, which Indicated that the
engineers and fremen were standing
by the A. R. U.
Citizens of Minneapolis representing
che five business organizations of the
city, the board of trade, the chamber
Of commerce, the Jobbers' and Manu-
facturers' association, the Business
union and the Commercial club, took
action Saturday night. The action con-
sisted in the passage of resolutions
urging the Great Northern railroad and
its striking employees to submit all
their differences to board of arbitra-
ton, and, further, in appointing COM
mittee to confer with a like committee
to be appointed from St. Paul to hasten
the settlement of the trouble, and it
was taken by men who in every sense
of the word represented Minneapolis.
These resolutions were considered by
the strikers, who held meetings all day
yesterday, but no action was taken.
The feeling of the men is against ar
bitration.
| Saturday afternoon Grand Master
Sovereign ordered all of the X. of L.
men out to assist the A. R. U. in their
struggle. Mr.. Sovereign arrived in St.
Paul Sunday Morning.
Two companies of U. S. regulars left

son. The commanding officer said he
did not know where he was going, OF
what he is supposed to do, except that
his destination is the judicial district OF
North Dakota, where he will hold his
battilion at Grand Forks, N. D., fo1
further orders.
MINNEApoL1s, April 2s.-At 2:3O yes.
terday afternoon thesexecutive commit
tee of the A. r. U. gave out the follow.
ing telegram:
sStrike has been ordered at every
/ point on the system and is now in full
force. Call out every man on the SER
vice. Those who are not with us are

/ In compliance with the order to quit,
the tie-up all along the line, including
the Twin Cities, was complete within
two hours after the order was given
and extended even to dining car men
and telegraph operators, and the yards
were deserted as if by magic.
Mr.. Debs, after making the forego
ing announcement, said that the whole
controversy hinged on the matter OF
wages; that the committee felt that
they had no right to arbitrate and that
they would get the worst of arbitration
if they accepted President Hills propo
sition.
'"Ihere was nothing left for the com
mittee to do" said Debs, but to order
the men out. They felt that t!,eil
wages had been wrongfully take1
away from them and their restoration
was only their right
MINNEAPOLIS, April 27.-Presiden
Hill and the A. r. U. committee coult
not agree. The strikers yesterday af
ternoon sent their ultimation to thu

proposition. Mr.. Hill said: 1.-THE

enough and we propose to operate tn.
line in spite of all obstacles. We thlnl
we have enough men in our employ Il

difference what position the committee
of the A. r. U. take, we are going Il
operate the road tonight or tomorrow
or just as soon as proper arrangement!
can be made. The state has promised
us ample protection and the brother
hood men declare they propose to stant
by us.' The Great Northern road yes
