ToNIGHr's MASS MEETING.
Railroad Men TO Consider the
Great Northern Fight.

OTCdt NOFCnCCu y Akhts
A mass meeting Of railroad men will
be held tonight at F0resters' hall, 221
Second avenue south, to consider the
Great Northern strike, and it is ex-
pected that important action will be
taken.
1t was reported last night that the
Great Northern employees In Mlnneap-
oils are in favor Of strike, and that
the brotEerhOods are in sympathy with
the fight.
In speaking of the situation Samuel
Hill. president OF the Montana Central,
said:
1.-The trouble, which is practically
confined to Montana. is between the
old organizations and the A. r. o..
and is fight for supremacy between
them. Three and half hours before
the time set for the strike we received
a telegram signed by two men unknown
to us, and We ignored it, attrlbuting it
to the work of cranks. There is no
trouble east OF Grand Forks. and
we do not anticipate any. We
are transferring passengers to the
Northern Pacigc. and taking care of
every one in that way" Regarding the
s'oppage of the mail service, Mr.. Hill
said that at the time OF the "Q'' strike
In 1876. the attorney general had
rendered decision that the dispatching
of mail car did not comply with the re-
lurements of the law, and that the
government Insisted that nothing short
OF an entire train would answer.
There is another point" said he, "in
this present controversy, and that is
that there are several forts whose sup
plies are sent over our road. There are
Assiniboine. Shaw, Buford and Others,
and the government does not dis
tinguish between mails and freight
when its transportation is interfered
with. 1t simply wants its matter trans
ported, no matter whether it is freight
or mail.1
1t was also rumored last night that
the trouble is likely to extend to the
Northern Pacific road. but little Gre
dence is given this report.

he would demur to the balance as soon
