baggage and express was III! taken from
the cur and the engine and mail car were
ready to proceed eastward. Some time
stree the officials of the Great Northern
issued a new schedule to govern various
employees. The men would not accept Il,
and it was hung up awaiting the return
of President Hill from Europe. Since
his return he has ordered that the
schedule be enforced, and rather than ac-
ccdc TO the demaEde, which they consider
unjust, the men left work at noon to-
day. The strike extends from LariISora,
