PRESIDENT HILL PLEASED

He Feels Confident of the Future Peace
able Settlement of Disputes.
President Hill said: 1.-THE findinp of
the committee, inasmuoh as it is the
finding of disinterested men, who have
at least in a matter of this kind the
knowledge they must have before they
can attain to their present position, is to
me of greater value than the amount in
volved in the question in dispute. The
conference is about to close. At the be.
ginning the matter was conducted in
an arbitrary way, and we were COM
PEELED to take what action we could to
protect ourselves. Yet every day.
though there was law, felt that at
the present time during the present dis
turbed condition throughout the coun-
try, it was advisable to secure q SETTLE
ment that was peaceable and correct.
On behalf Of the company desire to
extend my sincere thanks, my heartfelt
thanks to the committee of business
men who have come here to assist in
settling the matter at issue. lido not
remember meeting where mattera in
volved were discussed in detail and dis
posed of as these were here at this table.
where such progress was made in so
short time.
Confident in the Future,
feel confident in the future in the
prospect of approaching all questions
peaceably and settling all questions
fairly and justly. It is better that they
should be settled with all the interests
involved pro and con fairly presented,
On behalf of the company, want to
thank you all sincerely, and hope work
done here may lead to. more peaceful
methods of adjusting such differences
hereafter, mot only here but wherever
they may exist. To the men here I
will say that I hope that before they 40
out on strike again they will see if there
is not some fair way of arbitration.
You will find me fair arbitrator for
all of you"

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.
Very Brief and Pointed Statement of the
ArbitratOrs.

VoEy 10EAcl buu 1O1uU0u SCfC0"0nG OF the
Arbitrators.
The settlement was reached late Tues
day night after long conference be-
tween President Hill and the confer
ence committee representing his en-
ployes regarding all grievances which
caused the breach. The joint commit
tee of business men of the two cities
was present, and acted as board of ar.
bitration. The findings of the board of
arbitration was very brief and to the
point, as follows:
"Whereas, At joint meeting held
this day between the management of
the Great Northern railway, its en-
ployes and this committee of arbitra-
ton, at least ninety (90) per cent of the
differences in wages in controversy were
amicably settled between the company
and its employees.
CHOW, after hearing the statements
submitted by the parties in interest, we
find as result of our deliberations that
rs per cent of the reduction in wages
made since Aug. /, 1898, of all other
classes of men whose claims were sub
mitted to us, should be restored"
One copy of this document was fur
nished to President Hill, on behalf of
the company, and one to President
Debs on behalf of the employees. G. A.
Pillsbury, chairman of the joint COM
mittee or board Of arbitration, read the
document slowly, and enunciated every
syllable, so that none present might
have any erroneous impression regard
ing any detail of the boards findings.
Both President Hill and President Debs
expressed entire satisfaction with the
boards decision, and expressed their
feelings of gratitude to the board for its
kindly interest and fair dealings.
A Supplementary Report.
A supplementary report was issued bv
the committee for the purpose of cor
recting certain erroneous impressions
which have been left on the public
mind regarding the complaints of the
employees in the matter of wages, by
reports in the columns of the daily press
and circulated on the streets.
The supplementary report follows:
70 the Public: Many erroneous re-
ports have been in circulation as to the
wages paid by the Great Northern Rail
way company, and it is due to the pub
lie that it be informed of the facts re-
garding such reports. The committee
of arbitration find that the wages for
common labor paid by the Great North
ern railway since November, 1898, were
as follows: West of Minot, Slips per
day; east Of Minot, 81 per day, and that
the manag cement of the railway COM
pany had already prepared notice
restoring the wages Of such en-
ployes to $3.50 per day west of
Minot, and $1.25 per day east of
Minot, such restoration to take effect
May l, 1894; and that the management
Of the railway company had already
notified the engineers, firemen and other
trainmen that the reduction in their
wages would not be enforced, in view
of the fact that no further reduction
would be made in the case Of other en-
ployes.
The report was sigaed by Charles A.
Pillsbury, c. w. Hackett, Richard
Gordon, George R. Finch, J. T. Wv
man, Charles P. Noyes, w. S. Benton.
