ycon as the result Of the visit to st.

In their statement to the public the
committee begins with the signing Of
the agreement between President Hill
of the Great Northern and Eugene Debs
of the A. r. u. at the end Of the strike
of 1894. Every article Of the agree.
1nent, the men Say, has been grossly
violated by the company through its
officers, from president down. EN-
ployes have beer discharged without
cause, wages reduced, hours length
ened and all kinds Of abuse heaped
upon them. To offset this q delegate
convention was held at Devils Lake, N.
D.. Oct. S TO Il last. This conven-
tiOn investigated the condition Of
the employees and drew UP a schedule
covering wages and condition Of en-
rloyment as called for in the contrac:
with the company. A committee Was
also appointed to cali on President Hill
and present the schedule.
They Hint At q Strike.
The committee then goes ON to say
shat they came to St. Paul as instructed
by the convention, bat President Hill
absolutely refused to see them.
The correspondence between the com
Mittee and the Great Northern com
pany is given in full, the company
part of 1t being confined mainly to
refusal to see the committee on tn,
ground that some of them are not en-
ployee, but officers Of the A.. r. L
The statement then concludes as fol
lows:
