LAST NIGHTS MEETING
OF the Strikers in Plummer Post

OA euo SCrlkerS In RUNNER fOSC
Hall, Minneapolis.
At meeting of the strikers held last
night in Plummer Post hall, Minneapo-
lis, communication was received from
the Northern Pacific conductors and ell
gineers, which stated that at meeting
held it was unanimously decided not 10
go to work until the strike was sat.
isfactoriIy settled. A coinmuni-
cation from the Brotherhood of
Trainmen conveyed the same intel
Hgenee. Rev. Father Kane, of the
Church of the immaculate Conception,
and E. b. Mayo, of this city, made short
addresses. The former asked the A. r.
U. to allow the taking Of train to Lake
Minnetonka, with A. r. U. men, for the
purpose of conveying picnic party.
. The following resolution adopted ex-
presses tile sentiment Of the meeting in
regard to the clegyman's request:
Whereas, 1t was the sense of the
strikers that at the request of Rev.
Father Kane we should permit union
crew to take out Sunday school picnic
tomorrow, July 4; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the Milwau-
kee system strikers, cannot COM
ply with the request because
it would put us In position of ridicule
and contempt in other parts of the
country by our striking brothers. We
further resolve that we do hereby ten
der our heartfelt sympathy and regrets
to Rev. Father Kane in this his sad pre-
dicament, but can only put the blame
upon the inStigator of the whele trout BILE.

NORTHERN PACIFIC.
The Road Continues to Be Oper-
ated in spots.

At the general offices of the Northern
Pacific yesterday information on train
service there given can be- summarized
very briefly thus: No. 8. from Fargo,
arriving at a. NJ, on time; No. 5, for
Fargo, left at 10 O'Clock, Just an hour be-
hind schedule time. This may prove
to be the rule for the pres
ent-at least until sufficient
number of switchmen can be found in
the yards to handle trains. On this
train were ten more deputies, who will
De distributed at points where necessity
may require. The fact is not generally
known that there never has been any
interference during the existing crisis
IN the running of passenger trains on
the Lake Superior division. which cov-
erS the territory between Ashland and
Staples. In consequence, all passenger
trains on that division are making regu-
lar runs. With more or less regularity
passenger trains are still running on
the Pacific division, between Portland
and Seattle. No freights are moving.
Generally speaking, it may be said that
this line is operating in spots, and no
such thing as complete tie-up has
been experienced. Neither is there any
probability of such thing.
No. Z, for Fargo, leaving at 4:15 D. m..
backed into the union depot sheds
promptly at o'clock. There was not
the slightest delay In making up this
train. Its trip from the yards to the
depot sheds was absolutely uneveptful.
After the passengers were seated and
all express matter and baggage had
been loaded, the train went out on the
strict schedule time without a hitch.
This train had its full Pullman equip
ment. 1t carried out ten deputies, who
will make the run to Fargo. These
were under the command of John
Maher. On the train coming in from
Fargo this morning at Z o'clock a re-
turning delegation of deputies will be
found. 1t is the evident intention of the
company to fully protect all moving
trains.
A significant fact is that yesterday
quite number of telegrams were sent
to the secretary of the Northern Pacific
branch of the A. R. U. at Fargo, con-
tanning the designations from that
organization of engineers and fremen
of the company. This is quite an i'm
men desire to remain faithful to the
company, and could not consistently re.
main with the A. r. q.
Owing to the depressed condition of
business, one-halr the clerical force of
the car accountants department were
temporarily laid off yesterday morning.

CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN.
New Men Being Secured and
Others Ready to Come.

New Men Being Secured and
Others Ready to Come.
The situation with the Chicago Great
Western is about this, as given by an
official: The line between st. Paul and
Chicago has been principally affected.
All the operators who went out are now
back. "rhey were skinned off by walk
ing delegates" said Car Service Agent
Brass. They see their mistake, and
have repented. Our passenger con-
ductors generally, with here or there
an exception, have stayed. We do not
care so much as to firemen or brake
men. We have already more than we
can use. We have train crews to the
number of thirty men right ready to go
out at any moment on runs. Our freight
service to South st. Paul is all we can
ask now. Every freight train to and
from there is working admirably. an d
we are switching in on the deliver y
tracks all the meat desired for the
butchers. The new men found that the
strikers had left the yards in bad shape.
They soon righted that, and now every
car is in its proper place. We are hay-
ing no more desertions.
"The engineers at Dubuque are ready
to work, if afforded protection. We
have had the services of deputies ten
dered us, which was declined.
"Our No. 4 from Minneapolis to st.
Paul made bad appearance this MORN
ing. 1t was hauled in by an old Mogul
engine, which the fireman fired up by
mistake. 1t left ST. Paul with two new
engine men, who are certainly a credit
to any company. The train crew were
all old employees. A brand new engine
hauled ont this train. We got this train
out at 9 a. m.-an hour late--for its run

nouneementS Of the situation last night
at the Market hall meeting brought out
round after round of applause that at
tracted citizens from the street to the
hall to inquire the news. The doors
were closed with double guard
Of watchmen, and no general
news was given out 10 the
public. The central committee at Labor
hall was in secret session until mid
night. There were about a score OF
them. and when any OF their faces were
seen they were wreaEhed in smiles. A
GLOBE reporter who had called early in
Ehe evening was told to return later and
receive statement of the situation.
Shortly before midnight the reporter
was taken into the hall. and the follow

COMMITTEES:
Everything looks more favorable for
the strikers. and We are bound to win.

engineers are all coming out at once. The

except by Seabs, and few of them at

the Omaha road, has been abandon ed
by the company. The Wisconsin Gen.
trail is running no through trains, and
the road is completely tied up."
The following additional statement
was authorized by the committee: LAS

some parties have been going around
The city collecting money eStensibly in
aid of the A. r. o., we would warn all
people not to give them anything, as
they are impostOrs. The A. Il. U. is not

This notice is signed by j. w. Worrell.
Of the committee.
The com mite stated that the word
received hourly makes the situation
look brighter. They received word that
the meat train which left Austin. Minn.
at e pm. last evening is manned by Of
flcials of the road. Not trainman
could be secured who would take the
train out.
MARKET HALL MEETING LAST NIGHT
The meeting at Market hall was a
very large one and very enthusiastic.
The men who came out were in excel
lent humor, and the meeting was very
enthusiastic. Organizer Doyle gave to
a GLOBE reporter the following state
ment. The entire force Of the
Northern Pacific, the Omaha and the
Chicago Great Western roads are out
and will stay out. The engineers on
= those roads have decided to stay out
until the strike is settled. Everything
is at standstiIl, and the A. r. U. posi-
tion.iS growing brighter and stronger
every moment. There are 25O,0OO men

Moving, Hut some Are Crippled.
AT the office of the general superin-
tendent of the Omaha it was learned
that its No. from Chicago reached st.
Paul at 9 a. m.-fully an hour late. At
Sioux City the train due to arrive here
at 1885 a. m. was stalled. and so proved
an unknown quantity. The train due
here from Duluth at a. m.-No. 63-
was annulled. as it lacked crew. The
bridge burned out at South Range has
been rebuilt. The cause of its being
burned has not vet been rported to the
company, but was probably accidental.
The train from Mankato arrived on
time, at 1920 q. m. The No. 8 train,
due at st. Paul at 11:55 a. M,
did not appear, as it failed to
clear the yards at Chicago. There was
no train in from Siou City at 6:10 p.
m, as it was held at that point. In
formation came that the train due here
last night from Chicago at 10:10-No. l
would not arrive at that hour, as it
was reported an hour late in getting
oct of Chicago. 1t left Chicago at 9:SO
a. IN. No. 4 for Chicago and No. for
Sioux City each went out on time, s a.
m. and $40 a. IN. respectively. An
hours delay was experienced in getting
out No. 62 for Duluth. 1t got out at
11:55 a. IN. NO "a for Duluth, leaving
at II p. m. last night, was annulled,
though the corresponding train leaving
Duluth for st. Paul, at the same hour
last night, was not.
Monday night, so it is officially re-
ported to the general superintendent,
5000 rioters prevented the train from
Sioux City, leaving that city, holding it
up before it could pass the union depot.
Here was bad mess. The train was de-
rallied, switches misplaced, and sleeperS
cut from the train. A carload of ma
chinery was dumped on the tracks to aid
in obstructing them. The train crew
gallantly staid by its train, but was
unable to cope with so much opposition.
Word came that the Iowa state militia
had been called on for protection. An
attempt was made to move out No. 4
from Sioux City yesterday morning for
st. Paul. but the effort proved futile.
Monday night, alter 10 O'clock, the
Omaha made Its requiSition on the gov
ernor of Iowa for troops.
This company is not moving freights
generally. but two local freights did
move IL Nebraska yesterday. Some new
men were engaged.
A visit 10 the union depot last night
showed that everything was quiet. The
only matter of interest was notice
posted on the bulletin board to the ef-
feet that. the Omaha's No. l train from
Chicago, due here at 10:10. was four
hours late.

said he could not give the exact number
of the engineers who went out last
night, but they amount to several hum
dred in addition to those already named.
A mass meeting was announced for
Market hall, beginning at O'Clock this
afternoon. The meeting will be open
to everybody, and good speakers will
address the meeting OH topics OF gen
eral interest 10 labering men. There
will be no secret meetings of the a. Il, u.
today, but the day will be observed as
holiday. The men will pass the day in
patriotic observance of the occasion.
Mr.. Doyle said that he had received no
notice from Mr.. Debs to the effect that
business should be relaxed, but that the
men would observe the day quietly.
Mr. Doyle was emphatic in declaring
hat no violence would be offered by
union men,. He said they are very pro-
nounced against any such course. He
added: I'VE can and will win this
strike without violence. The men will
stand firm and are bound TO win by
peaceable means. Asked as to what
advices he had from Nj. Debs, he stated
that the last words was to stand firm,
that. the conditions are getting tighter
all the time.
NOTES OF THE EVENING.
There was meeting of severa
| branches of the A. r. U. held last
| night at Labor hall that was largely al.
tended. They seemed to be in good
spirits over the situation, and eongratu-
lated their sister organizations that are
more directly affected by the strike.
| There was a rulnor at the United
States marshaPs office yesterday after
noon TO the effect that several of the
roads contemplated abandoning trains
to-day owing to it being the Fourth of
July.
A statement was made in A. r. U. cir
cles last evening to the effect that the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
had a set-tO with the engineers which
| resulted in bringing them to terms. 1t
is said that committee OF tiremen went
to the engineers and said: II he time
will come when you will be i'll trouble,
and then there will be a chance for the
promotion of lots of firemen." 1t is
stated that the engineers found that the
time had come when they would either
have 10 work with scabs or quit work,
and they concluded to go out.
Inquiry at the Office of the superin-
tendent OF the railway mail service
elected the information that there was
more difficulty last evening in getting
out mails than formerly. The Northern
Pacific had abandoned the attempt to
send mail to jamestown, n. D., and
stopped its train at Fargo. Train No.
over the Omaha road, known as the
Sioux City train. had been abandoned,
as also had the Duluth tlain on the same
road. The Dakota train on the Mil
waukee road was tied up between Fargo
and Ortonville. The department real
lied that matters were getting tighter,
and some apprehension was felt as to

Sufficient Meat to supply st. Paul
for Three Weeks.

The situation at South st. Paul is un-
changed. No live stock has come into
the yards since Friday, except few
head driven in by farmers. The local
dealers, however. do not think there
is any immediate danger of meat
famine. There is enough meat in
sight to supply the city of st. Paul
for three weeks at least. The cattle and

not been drawn upon as yet, and may
not this week. Nelson Morris. of Chi
