In the afternoon j. c. Nolan, of
Breckenridge, who is the chairman of
the grievance committee Of the Great
Northern roads Brotherhood men, and
an engineer on that line. gave a de-
tailed statement of his actions in con-
nection with the recent strike on that
road. 1t will be remembered that he is
the man whom the A. u. called
traitor to the cause of organized labor
because he advised the brotherhood en-
gineers to remain with the com
pany. aud he also denounced
the action of men who left
their engines. Very few of the engi-
neers are members of the A. r. u, and
the Brotherhood divisions on the Great
Northern refused to strike with them.
Mr.. Nolan is fighter from race of
fighters, and, as a leader of the b. of l..
E. on the Great Northern. stood fast on
the position he had taken. His action
was very severely criticized by the A.
r U. officials, but the assembled dele
gates yesterday unanimously, approved
and Endorsed all his actions in connec-
ton with the strike.
}. G. Nolan, whose likeness is here
with presented, is not large man
physically, but possesses in rare de-
gree those qualities of leadership which
make man come to the front in a
crisis. That his services will ever be
forgotten by the Great Northern Off

most endeavorS to prevent hasty action
10y its employees during the trouble.
He is true friend of organized labor,
but like all the Brotherhood men, very
conservative and careful.
Ills report was lengthy one, but the
substance Of it is as stated. He went
fully over the whole ground, and was
frequently Interrupted by applause.
After the close of the session many dele
gates gathered around him to offer con-
gratulations. He is a close friend of
Chief Arthur. and near to the hearts of
all the officials. This effectually dis
poses of the fear entertained by mauy
that the B. of l.. L. will recklessly unite
its forces with the A. r. U. The Brother
hood does not oppose that organization,
bnt proposes to keep on in its own way
and yield to no other dictatlon than its
| officials give.

and ball will be held at the armory hall
