rations for 10 days. The b.t.
talon arrived on special Mill
waukee train from the fort, and it took
about half an hour to make the trans

necessary for the yardm ster to set the
switches, as the train crew refused to
do so. The officers of the battalion said
that their instructions were to assist the
United States marshal in the serving of
processes, and that they would not take
hand in the operation of trains. The
remaining companies of the Third regi-
ment are held in readiness to he sent to

ST. PAUL, April 26.-Mr. Hills sug-
gestion for further con ference was
acted upon and at 9:30 a. IN. the subcom-

general offices. They conferred secretly
with Mr. Hill about an hour. Nothing
definite was accomplished. Mr.. Hill
wanted the full conference committee
to examine and compare the old and
new rates of pay, and as the plan of ar
bitration proposed by the company had
been rejected by the union, possibly the
employees would formulate plan of
procedure that both sides would con.
Sider in favorable light.

ReDairing Fences,

There is a great deal of work that
can be done on farm to good ad-
vantage after farm work proper is
finished. There is no better time in
the year to put the fences in good
shape than when the ground is fro
zen. It is easy to get about the fields
with material, and the work has just
exercise enough about it to make it
pleasant. A fence that is gone over
every year seldom needs q great deal
Of repairing. Yearly attention keeps
it in good condition, but neglect it for
a few years, and it will require as
much labor to put it in good trim as
it takes to build a new fence. De

ST. PAUL, April ga number of

No one was present except the COM
mittees, Mr.. Pattee and President Hill.
Mr.. Hill told the men that as the train
men were still receiving the old rates,
having never completed the vote on his
proposition or reduction, he considered
it but fair that they should likewise re-
ceive the old rates. He did not wish to
be partial in his dealings with the vari-
GUS classes of his employees, and would
not therefore hold the enginemen bound
to their agreement providing reduc-
ton unless the trainmen were similarly
reduced

Men Reject President HIPS Pr pcs on.
Invited to Further Conferences.
ST. PAUL, April 26.-During the day
President Debs acting for the conference
committee, definitely de, lined the offer
of President Hill to arbitrate the
trouble.
Immediately after the the rejection of
the offer TO compromise President Hill
sent communication to the committee
asking whether they objected to arbi-
tration as method of settlement or
whether they objected to the plan pro-
posed, and continued:
Bearing in mind the great advantages
to all concerned that will follow Just
and peaceful settlement of any matter
of difference that may exist, I desire
again to ask you to consider the ques-
tion Of arbitration, and before making
up your minds to decline it that you
compare the present rates Of ray with
those in effect last year; and to the end
that you may have the correct figures
as to present rates, suggest that you
bring, your sub-comHittee to our Office
at II a. m. for the purpose of compar-
ing these rates. In the meantime, as
am not standing on any matter of form,
T. would be glad to hear from you as to
whether you decline to recommend ar
bitration on the grounds above stated,
or whether you have better plan for
forming a competent hoard of arbitra-
tors"
Vice President Howard, when seen
later, said the men intended to stand by
their demands for the August schedule
would decline Mr.. Hills proposition to
arbitrate. Further than this he would
not commit himself.

NO WHEELS TURNING
GREAT NORTHERN TIED UP FROM
ST. PAUL TO THE COAST.

The Order Given Out by Presldet Dobs
Immediately After the Close of Friday
MORNINGS Conference With Presidents
HnI-Eastern Minnesota Men Also Go
Out.
ST. PAUL, April 27.-At high noon the
Great Northern strike went into effect
at St. Paul and Minneapolis and at ali
points on the line from this city to the
coast. Within five minutes after the
committee had arrived at the decision
to call all the men out the order had
been sent out by President Debs, and
the fight is now in dead earnest. The
company claims that it has sufficient
men now in its service who will remain
at work, while the American Railway
union assert just the contrary.
The strike, if as successful in tying
ND the entire road as it has been in
blockading major portion, will be,
with possibly one exseptlons the great
est fight ever made by organized labor,
both as to territory covered and the
number of persons affected. The Great
Northern's total mileage is close to 4, 500
miles with shops and full equipment,
all of which the A. r. U. claims to be
able to tie up. Spurred on by President
Hills refusal to recognize the A. r. Q.
as a representative tody, the managers
Of the strike will make every effort to
have the blockade complete. 1t will be
a great fight and none the less great if
peaceful.
Everything Tied Up Tight.
Every thing III st. Paul is tied up
tighter than wax. There are 1900
men in the Twin Cities, and both are
solid. So for as the order has gone,
and it has been generally promulgated,
there has not been a single refusal to
obey. Minneapolis is absolutely solid.
In St. Paul shortly after 12 clock, and
on receipt Of the striking order, 450
men quit work. TIE general freight
yards are deserted, the only man re-
naming on duty being the watchman,
who was allowed to remain in. Much
confusion prevails in the yards III st.
Paul, as Great Northern engines and
cars are mixed up with those Of other
lines and not wheel is turning.
The strikers have appointed guards
for the railroad property, 10th day and
night, there icing eight men on each
crew. The strike extends to all classes,
from the engineers 10 dining car service.

THE WEDNESDAY CONFERENCE.
Eoth.ng Definite Accomplished in the
Way of Settlement.


ST. PAUL, April 25.-The long ex-
pected conference between the repre-
Bentatives o. the Great Northern, the
officers Of the American Railway union
and President Hill opened at II d. IN.
at the Great Northern Offices. Megsrs.
Debs and Howard, accompanied by
subcommittee of seven, called on Mr..
Hill and gave him the schedules which
they desire to have adopted. A consul
tation was held between President Hill
his officials and President Debs and
Vice President Howard, which lasted
until the noon hour, adjournment being
then taken to 2:l5 ia the afternoon.
It came out that ITr. Hill declined to
accede to the terms proposed and Mr.
Howard hesitated not to say that con-
ference in the afternoon with the COM
mittee would be Of 10 use. Mr.. Debs,
however, appeared more conservative
in his view and thought it proper that
the committee should call later and re-
sumo the discussion.
The conference in the afternoon was
attended by committee Of II employees
of the road on the one side and P~esi-
dent Hill and his assistants on the other.
Mr.. Hill questioned the statement of
Debs that tie committee present repre-
sented the employees fairly, saying that
81 of them gave their addresses as st.
Paul and Minneapolis, while not one OF
them was personally known to him.
Mr. Debs, in reply, showed that, as re-
CARDS the employment Of the men, the
different classes were fairly represented,
and added that the older organizations
would lay no obstruction in the way.

and to secure their sanction OF the pro-
ceedings of the committee. After a
lapse of half an hour Mr.. Hill submit
ted proposition to the committee in
which he suggested that the company
would settle the differences with each
class of employees separately, arbitra-
ton to be resorted to when an agree
ment could not be reached.
When Mr.. Hill had finished reading
his proposition Mr.. Debs arose and
declined to accept it; claiming that
this mode of procedure was intended to
disrupt the organizations and to create
bad feeling among them. Tho men, he
said, would not accept any such propo-
sition.
This ended the conference for the
day, the committee agreeing to discuss
the matter among themselves and let
Mr.. Hill know the result within "a hours.
Proposition of the Men.

partment of employees, the same being
based upon the rate of wages paid prior
to August, 1S93 as above stated.

to reduce expenses in any department,
the working hours shall be shortened
instead of reduction of the force, un-
less absolutely necessary to the con-
trary.

dice upon the part of the management
against any particular employe or de-
partment OF employees who have taken
part in the adjustment OF the affair cf

this agreement be in force from the
time the employees return to work.
