ANOTHER TWIN CITY ROAD Is IN
SOLvED.
The st. Paul Duluth Men Go Out,
Tring Up the Road-Narious Ro"ds
Succeed In Sending Out Freight
Trains. '

st. Paul, July Trouble has broken
out in a new spot. The strike has ex-
tended TO the st. Paul & Duluth, when
operates it's own Pullman cars and here
tofore has enjoyed immunity. Inc
switchmen in the Twin Cities and at
Duluth have walked out, together win
cther employees. The trouble arose over
q lot of Milwaukee cars, particularly two
cars of been, TO be delivered TO the 81
Paul & Duluth. When they were de-
tiyered at the transfer on hire street,
St. Paul men began to balk. General
| Manager Plough held a conference with
them and asked them to consider Wen
| what they were about TO do. Each man
| would have to obey a reasonable order'
he said. and the refusal of any man to
DO so would be considered a hnal WITH
drawal from the service of the company.
The men refused TO handle the cars ana
| walked out. In addition the freight house
men have all gone out, together WIN
| three fremen and one engineer. Genera!
Manager Plough stated that he expected
TO be in it with the others, as the men
w,re dropping out by degrees, but that
he would do the best he could under the
circumstances Il III HONS lldlho 90 "R'S
as possible. All trains have come aud
gone as usual, including the limited ana
| the suburban. The passenger service on
this line is important, owing to the mum
Der of st. Paul people summering at
| White Bear. and if it II impaired OH
there will be great grief.
The Wisconsin Central has twenty car
lcads of merchandise in this morning IL

| with the intention of making it a reSu-
lar thing. The Omaha last night sent a
| freight train out over it's western divls-
ioE and will follow it with others as
soon as the crush can be Strengthened
out and the yards put in shape. The Mil
waCkee sent a freight train from here
to La Crosse last night and brought in
| another. loaded with p~erishable freight,
over the Iowa & Minnesota this morning.
The number will increase daily. The
Great Western moved five freights out
| of Dubuque yesterday, three for ST. Paul
and two for the East, and the three
bound for here nave passed Oelwein and
will reach here in due time. The West
| side freight house is open for business
and is receiving freight. Perishable
freight will be received the same as
ever in a few days. The Minneapolis "
St. Louis has worked it's freights out
| of Albert Lea, and some &C them have
reached here. The Burlington had forty
nine cars in here this morning and seven
teen out yesterday. The only line at
present not handling freight is the North
ern Pacific.
Minneapolis, July THE strikers pre-
pared themselves for another day of rest
| and peace when they assembled at their
headquarters this morning. They knew
that the passenger trains would run about
| rs usual and that it was about impossible
to start any freight. All men that could
be reached were already out and they
were content TO let matters take their
| own course until further developments.
The press committee had not a single
| item to report and the strikers bore them
| selves as cheerfully and as indifferentiy
| as could be imagined. 1t was stated by
an Omaha man that Agent Hoar, of hat
road, had made an attempt to send out
last evening the freight train known as
the Merriam transfer which runs be-
tween Minneapolis and Merriam juno
ton, but was obliged to abandon his
plan as not enough nen could be secured.
West Superior, Wis, July Z. Eight
hundred coal beavers of Superior and
West Superior, in sympathy with the
Duluth men now on strike, went out this
morning, and every one of the nine docks
here is tied up. They can neither receive
nor ship coal now The steamers Verona,
Minch. Everett and Gilbert, with cargoes
of coal at the docks cannot discharge
them. The, men ask a raise from IL IL
cents per hour to 20 cents for dockmen
and from 40 to so cents for men in the
holds.
