decided About It.
Bv The .Assocbiate Press.

SEATTLE, Wash, April 23.--The chief
interest here in the Great Northern strike
now centers in the question whether the
Northern Pacific will strike. Those on
the Pacific division of the North
ern Pacific have decided not
to strike and great efforts are
being made to induce those on
other divisions to rescind the de-
cisions said to have been already
arrived at TO strike this evening
at O'Clock. kilograms have been sent to
President Debs asking him TO use his In
fiuence to prevent the strike, as the
more conservative are of the opinion that
vuch a move would be generally con-
iemned by the public and would cause the
Great Northern TO lose the sympathy Of
the public.
