"THEY REPRESENT NOBODY
Members Of the A. n. u. Committee
Scored by President HILL.

ST. PAUL. Nov. 2-When asked to-day
regarding the statement of the special A.
II. U. committee investigating grievances of
the Great Northern employees, President
Hill said: You may say If you like that
they are men who are not In the employ
of the company. They represent nobody.
They are men who have committed Of
against the government, for disobeying or
ders. for refusing to obey the orders of
their superiors, or for stealing We do not
want to have anything to do with them"
Further than this he would not speak.
1t is said that the officers of the Great
Northern road have been thoroughly posted
on the movements of the men who have
sought to secure the reinstatement Of dis
charged employees and who have protested
against cuts in wages The line claims to
have no fears OF a strike or serious trouble
In another interview, Mr.. Hill stated that
there was not the relnotest probability of a
strike. The road has been waited on by
large committees of its employees within the
last few days and assurances have been re-
ceived that the men at present employed
by the road are in no way represented by
the committees claiming to represent them.
$50 far as the discharged employees are con-
cerned," said MIR. Hill, they are outlaws
in the majority, and men that will never
be employed by this company under any
circumstances. The Great Northern road is
now in a position to deal with these people.

ready for them, and there will be no strike,

Circuit Court OF the case involving the
SIS, 900 paid to ex-Judge James E. Lincoln,
as q result Of the DIR. Fraker insurance
