THE GREAT NORTHERN STRIKE.
II Spreads TO the Northern Central--EX-
element at 81. Cloud.


ST. PAUL, MINI. April 7.-With the
exception of the ST. Paul-St. Cloud
branch. the Great Northern system is
effectively tied up. The strike has now
spread over the Northern Central. Prcsi-
dent Hill. of the Great Northern; Presi-
dent Samuel Hill. for the Canadian Cen
trial. and Counsel Grover. for the former
road. were in conference several hours
to-day. but declined to give any informa-
ton. on the ground that any publicity
might cause their plans TO miScarry.
The situation is becoming hourly more
complicated. The conductors firemen, and
engineers. all Brotherhood men, express
their Willingness to 30 TO work at once.
but In the same breath insist that they
will not work with non-uniOn men. This
leaves the company In a quandary, which
is no easier 10 solve than If IT had to
engage an entirely new force.
A further complication has arisen. The
American Railway Union, which is being
fought by the Brotherhood and the Great
Northern Company, has tight on among
its own members. President Howard, OF
the American Union, said this afternoon
that the strike On the Minnesota lines
was premature. and that Hogan, the OF
ganizer. had acted hastily.
The conductors and trainmen's brother-
hood, have formally declared against the
strike. In a letter addressed to General
Manager CAGE, Chairman Brainerd, OF the
conductors. ana Chairman Clark, OF the
tranman, say
.'The yot. of the men in ACCORDANCE
with the laws Of our organization ana lh4
clear aEreemont between the legal repre-
sentative OF the men and the Seherai
MANAGER had not been completed, When
everything was interrupted by The pres
ent trouble, In which our organizations
have no part. We repeat that II VIII re-
ceiye no recognition or support whatever
from us or the organizations we repre-
sent"
Local mails are about at a standstil.
The through-mai service is being handled
mostly by the Northern Pacific The
United States Post-Office Department has
on the ground the Assistant General SUI
perintendent OF the Railway-Mail Service.
Charles L. Nelson, VINO is keeping track
OF matters closely.
There WAS great excitement at st. Cloud
this afternoon upon the arrival Of the
$50 train from the West. The strikers
cut the baggase-cars and coaches from
the engine and mail-car Seven hundred
people were ut the station to watch the
proceedings. Superintendent Rice and tho
Chief OF Police forced the men TO re-
couple them. and the train succeeded in
getting out Of the station. With the ex-
ception OF funeral-train. this was the
only train from st. Cloud during the
day. The neutrality-suspicious. at ST. Cloud
struck at 230. and II is improbable that
any further attempts will be made 10
move trains from that point until the
trouble rs adjusted.
