A Rumor That the Engi-
neers Have Been Or
dered Out. g.

As stated in Thursdays paper the
strike has just begun, and everything
is being tied up tighter every hour.
Thursday the L. F. & D. train had
the usual number Of cars, but this
it arrived from Brainerd
with only the coaches and hardly
anyone in them.
No. s came in ON time, but No. 2,
the through train from the west,
failed to put in an appearance. The
last train from the east was q
freight that arrived Thursday after
noon.
The men here are still on a strike
except the engine men, and OF course
there is nothing for them to do. Not
a NAH is doing turn and last night
for the first time in the history OF
the roadno lights were placed ON
the switch stands. Everything was
in darkness and the depot and yards
had a deserted looking appearance.
Night baggageman Guin, who is
also special police for the city, per-
formed his du ties as Waterman, but
did not handle any baggage.
A dispatch received Friday
states that the entire line is tied up
and liable to remain 50 for a week:
The men seem to think it is a bluff,
and place no stock in it while others
are OF the opinion that things will
remain at standsti]l for a longer
time = .-;=y4%47es u IN NJ. ~ :s...
Conductor Baxter, of the L. F. &
u. train, oroered his brakemen to
couple onto some freight cars at this
station. This they refused to do,
claiming that as the switchmen were
out ON a strike it would be scabbing
to do so. Mr.. Baxter then went in
and made the coupling himself, and
the strikers did not attempt any vio-
lence. The men are quiet and Or
Derby, none OF them doing much talk
ing. 1t is the opinion with some
that it will be a long fight and they
are prepared for it. All of the men
at this place are comfortably fixed
and can live if the Northern Pacific
never gives them a days work.
None OF the men have been heard to
express an opinion about Conductor
Baxter taking cars out this morning
but they were we'll pleased with the
actions of the brakemen who refused
to do the switchmen's work.
The Little Falls & Dakota train
arrived on time from Norris bring
ing st. Cloud mail which had been
sent around by Sank Centre on the
Great Northern.
This train had only three freight
cars besides the regular coaches and
very few passengers.
The Interstate mill shut down
about 10 O'Clock, having filled up
every thing and being unable to make
any shipments on account Of the
strike. A telegram was received from
Brainerd and other points ordering
-four but they can't get it out. They
have $4,000 barrels contracted fol
July delivery and the present condi.
ton of things will put them back
some time.
G. /. McNair, OF the Hennepin Pa.
per company, says they can stand
two weeks strike, as most OF the
city papers they supply feared some
thing Of this kind and had q large
stock Of paper on hand. The mills
will run along as usual until tht
Fourth OF July when they vii
shut down for the rest OF tn
week. This they would do Wer'
there no trouble ON the roads.
The Pine Tree saw mills are run
ming but the planning mills are shu
down for.want Of cars Before tn
strike they were shipping twenty
Or thirty cars daily to western am
/ southwestern points.
The city papers are becoming
alarmed over the strike situation Alto
and have wired the Hennepin Pape
company for more paper. The com ON
]. pany Immediately sent out teams 70
st. Cloud with loads OF paper an
will keep II up until the strike is IS
& clared OF.
