a telegram from ST. Ignace today stating
that 500 railroad men from Canada pass

Bradsby said the telegram was from a
private source, but he believed it was
true.
There is nothing the government can
do about it, said he, "fOr the men passed
St Ignace last night and it would be i'm
possible to intercept them now, or even
10 tell whether they have reached the
city. The government has no officers at

BOISE, Id. July 12.-GOvernor Nc
ConnelI has sent the following dispatch
to Grover Cleveland:
Allow me to suggest the advisability
of congress passing compulsory arbi-
tration law to apply to all differences be
tween corporations Interested in trans
portation and their employees. 1t is IN
derstood that the present disastrous
strike was caused by the refusal of Mr.
Pullman to arI itra;e the question and by
disagreement between his company and
the Iaborers. In The consequence of his
refusal the business of the whole nation
is inpeded; passenger traffic and the
transportation of mails is practically sus
pended; even the stability of the govern
ment Is threatened
The best efforts of this nation should
be exerted, not to suppress the laboring
men of the United StOtes who are strug-
Cling to obtain what they think is JUS
tice, nor to damage the corporation
against which their efforts are directed,
but TO ascertain first what Is right and
then enforce It The emergency which
confronts you as chief executive is SO Sc
riOus in its possible consequences as to
entirely OvershadOw all other considera-
tons Therefore, congress would no
doubt at your advice promptly enact
such legislation as will enable you to
demonstrate to the world that this gov
erument can be depended upon to pro-
tect alike labor and capital The gravity
of the situation is my excuse for Offering
these suggestions. w. J. McCoNNELL,
