Never Know Their Balance.
Inc usual first deposit required of a
woman is 800. Most Of the big Neu
YORK banks in accepting mems accounts
supuiate that certain balance shall be
carried at all times. The banks which do
business with women do not make this con-
dltion. They could not enforce it, because
they could never make a woman unae-

Women's checks are frequently for very

Organizer Hogan, on the Northern Pa

terday morning. Committees have been
picked up on the way, aud. being a
special train, it may arrive here about
noon today. The committees from the
neighboring points will also return
during the day, and the conference
with the Great Northern officials will
begin tomorrow. Arrangements for the
time will be perfected Monday morning
to suit the convenience of Mr.. Hill.
Speaking Of the messages said to have
been received by Mr.. Hill from some of
the employees, stating that they pre-
ferred to be represented by the old
brotherhoods, Mr.. Debs said that for
every man who desired this he would
bring fifty who desired to be represented
by the American Railway union.
1--WE shall simply ask for it the same
consideration accorded the brother
hoods. We wish to arrange a schedule
for all classes of employees. Our union
represents larger percentage Of en-
ployes Of all branches than any one of
the old OSCILLATIONS represents of its
own class. All we seek is to raise the
wages of all men. It We secure new
contracts for all OF the employees. 1t will
be on an increase Of wages, and no man
will object to that The brotherhoods

"criminally' reduce the wages of is
employees to point where they cannot
properly support themselves and
families, they have the right to exercise
self-defenSe. A man summarily dis
charged without just cause has no re-
dress. He is simply placed within the
pale of starvation and idleness.
l do not find any fault with the com.
pany for securing restraining order
when violence is in contemplation or
progress, and do not object to an order
that in general will prevent acts OF vIo-
lence, but Judge Sanborn's order is to @
sweeping in its terms. Men are not
criminals just because they go OH a
strike. 1t is not right to prohibit man
from setting foot in the yards where he
has been employed for years. Striking
railway employees always base their
hopes for success on the interruption of
traffic, and to bring about such con-
dition, secured by acts not necessarily
violent in their nature, In my opinion,
is justifiable, and the Gfeat Northern
men are in that position. If l were ell
gagged in this strike would 20 to the
utmost limits of my resources to secure
success.
Suppose the men could change their
relative positions without changing
their natural dispositions, the workmen
would become the autocrat, and vice
versa. But do not advise the men to
interfere with ira fife in opposition to
the order Of the court, which desire to
be obeyed to the letter. would punish
any men resorting to personal violence.
1t only Injuries the cause Of the union,
and the union will not seek to shield
them if punished for 1t. The union will
defend no man who places himself out
side the pale of the law.
There never was railway strike in
America that carried with it so over
whelming public sentiment on behalf
of the employees, and this moral press
ure should have considerable weight
with the officials of the road when the
conference takes place.

WHY 1T CONTINUES,
Debs Says the Strike VIII Not
Close Until the Men Succeed.

DeDS says the strike Will NOT
Close Until the Men Succeed.
President Debs, of the American
Railway union, was asked yesterday
evening why the men did not return to
work as long as the company had con-
scented TO meet the committee of its
employees in conference. He said that
in view of all the causes leading up to
the strike such thing was at present
impracticable. The men could vote to
return to work, but such move would
be equal to confession of mistake or
an admission OF weakness.
The company, through General Man.
ager Case. had given out an ultimatum
relating to reduction Of wages. When
the employees, as represented by the
brotherhoods. sent their committees to
meet Mr.. Case they were informed that
the decision was fiual. The matter was
laid before the brothernoods, and the
chiefs of the several organizations re-
fused to sanction strike.
At that stage the American Railway
union stepped in, and The men organized
themselves under its rules and voted
to strike. 1t would be poor policy to
declare the strike off, pending a settle
ment of the difficulties, and it is ex-
tremely doubtful that the men would
vote now to return. Should they do 80
and fail In their negotiations. they would
60 out again and make matters more
complicated.

Say the Men Are Not Guilty and

Speaking on the arrests of strikers
Mr.. Debs said: my opinion is that the
men arrested at st. cloud are not guilty
and will bs acquitted on a hearing
They have done nothing for which they
could be punished even II nominalIy
they might be considered as interfering
with the traffic Of the road. The prop
erty of the company Is safe and none Of
it has been destroy ed. Arrests are often
made to intimidate others and as rule
nothing ever comes of the cases after 9
strike is once settled. The Washington
authorities refuse to commit themselves
on the question Of cutting off passsn>
ger coach from mail car. Late rulings
differ from the decisions of 1872, and the
postmaster general and attorney gen.
eral have long tried to get a decision Oh
the matter which might definitely settle
the much mooted question. None exists
at present that might be considered
final. 1t is very important question
in crises like the present, when An eff
fort is on foot to bring the striking men
under the ban Of the United States laws
and amenable to its courts.

as no evidence Is at hand to convict onS
Of the men arrested"

IN STATU QUO.
Debs Thinks Judge Sanborn Goes
Too Far in His Order.

Debs Thinks Judge Sanborn Goes
Too Far in His Order.
Everything was quiet yesterday at
the headquarters of the officers of the
American Railway union. The near
approach of the conference with the
Great Northern officials leaves the
strike situation practically in statu
quo.
Mr.. Debs received several visiting
committees from outside points, but
otherwise decided to rest during yester-
day afternoon. Questioned on the out
look for the strikers and the present
situation, he said:
The men should by all means refrain
from any act of violence or interference
with the company's property. Strikes
have no recognized rules. No two men
will have the same ideas of the ethics of
railway strike. Take the case of a
railway corporation that takes undue
advantage of its employees by reducing
their wages; then the men are practi-
cally ''locked out" unless they submit
to it, and that course will invite other
like steps until the meiiii are In an actual
state of degradation. Then they have
right to resort to a strike. if they re-
main within the bounds of the law.
Yes, all strikes are force in their nature
moral force, If you please. Railroad
corporations are quasi semi-publlc insti-
buttons. in which the general public has
direct interests. People feel sort of

j. j. HILL CHEERFUL.
Indications That Strike Is Near.
ing the End.


Yesterday afternoon. when the GLOBE
reporter visited Great Northern head
quarters, he found all air of activity
prevalent in the halls. Employees were
gathered III little knots, here and there,
quietly talking together. Occasionally
the men would approach President Hill,
and hold brief conversation. then
diSperSe. 1t was generally believed
that the sentiment Of all was that strike
matters were shaping themselves, and
it is probable that the end is not far off.
These are busy days for Mr.. Hill and
his corps of officials. General Superin-
tendent Bryan was running about in an
active way, and when accosted by the
reporter said he was too busy to say
anything. President Hill nodded pleas
antly, and when accOsted the now stere-
otyped question, us there any strike
news?" replied, much in the Yankee
fashion.b by asking the reporter if he knew
of anything new. He acknowledged that
he had no lack of details to claim his at
tention of late, but considerably gra MT
ed the reporter few moments of his
valuable time.
"Well, what can do for you?" said
Mr.. Hill.
ut has been rumored today that the
company was trying to run in so-called
scabs in the persons OF deputy United
States marshals. Is there any truth iu
such report?'
''None whatever. The company is
Tot giving employment to any new men
at present. Such report is NONSENSE
cal.'
HAS the company any special in
formation to impart?"
"We are getting news of some kind
all the time, of course, but not in
such shape that we can give it tangible
shape at present. l may have some
thing definite to say this evening, but
nothing now"

WAGE SCHEDULE.
President Samuel Hill Gives the
Facts of the Matter

The other day the GLOBE, in an inter-
view with Vice President Howard, pub
lIshed certain statements made by that
gentleman giving the present wage
schedule of Great Northern employees.
President Samuel Hill, of the Montana
Central, in referring to this statement
yesterday. furnished the GLOBE with
the companv'S official schedule. This"
said he, 'is now, and has been for
long time, the regular unchanged sched-
ule in effect in Minnesota and North
Dakota" A copy is herewith given:

lieve that they work any less number of

words, it is not any harder to work

from the general business of the coun-
try rather than from any special feeling
against the road. The people in the
country tributary to the lines of road

more thoroughly when the true reports
ara sent in. l know the feeling will not
be against the road nor against the peo-
pie who have put in their time trying to
build up the country, and who have

that the American people, when they

Train Sent Out BY Great North.

1t was learned from one of the Great
Northern men that the company in
ted ned to send out train at o'clock
yesterday afternoon, but it was delayed.
1t was to have been hauled out by en-

lin charge, at 3 p. m. 1t consisted of
two coaches, a baggage car and mail
car at the rear end. 1t went out finally
at 4 80 over the Fergus Falls division
for st. Cloud. There were number of
United States deputy marshals aboard.
The train crew and engineers gave out
cold that they should decline to haul
out the train in case there were any
scabs on board. The GLOBES inform
ant said that the trainmen had resolved
not to haul out any more deputies unless
they were sure that they were such, and
that they should insist upon their show
ing up their papers. In case these were
not in strict accordance to law they
they would not carry them.
This same man told the GLOBE re-
porter that it is reported that the COM
pany is working in scabs gradually,
under the guise of deputy marshals.

of the deputies were given twenty-five
minutes to get out of town by the
mayor, who said they were buns, and
had better clear out. We are all anxious
that the settlement may be in favor of
the men. as theirs is just cause.
Vice President Howard was seen at
about O'Clock, and, in speaking of the
mentioned train, said:

then to enable the men to get their

The fact that Robert A. Smith saw fit
to furnish bail yesterday for Foster, one
OF the five strikers arrested by United

st. Cloud, created some comment. In
quiry was made OH this point at Great
