commit any more overt acts. begg ed
and entreated them for heavens sake to
respect the law. The Injunction of the
the court must be obeyed until its valid

suasion. they could tell the men not to
be "scabS," to
ACT LIKE MEN,
they could tell them that it would be
condition of the settlement that men
who worked for The company during
the strike must be discharged. All this
they could say but they must kee %
cool. He said that the strikers in cut

addressed the crowd, which was made
up mostly of citizens. He said the mar

a little pleasure trip, picnic, and the
company had given them a special
train to ride in. The courts would treat
the men fairly. and they would get

element during the afternoon, but
nothing occurred of serious nature.
County Attorney Sullivan returned

called to confer with Gov. Nelson and
Attorney General Cnilds. He brought
instructions to Sheriff Hammered to
protect the company's property. This
afternoon he addressed a meeting of the
strikers, at which he said that the chief
executive of the state had authorized
him TO say to them that they must not
interfere with mail trains, molest the

or in any way hinder the company from
doing business if it could get men to
run its trains. The governor had di-
rected him to inform the sheriff that he
must preserve the peace and property
rights of the company. The sheriff was
instructed to swear III deputies
to protect the company in op-
Grating its road in the county.
In case they should resist, and
the deputies could not give the COM
pany that protection which the law
guaranteed it, the governor would call
out the militia. and the entire force of
the state would be sent here to move
out trains If it were necessary. Two
passenger trains were run through the
city this afternoon, but tonight the
company is making up into trains the
passenger coaches side-tracked here
and sending them to st. Paul. The
company is beginning to run short of
equipment at st. Paul, SO many trains
are being held out on the road. About

looking for are supposed to be in hid
