SAID BY LOCAL A. R. u. MAN

TOul lHQulTleS Ifletut dIlOHS luS MOn-
tara Central employees in Butte yester-
day by a Standard reporter 1t may be
safely stated that there is no likelihood
of any trouble on the Montana Central,
even in case of a tieup ON the main line
of the Great Northern, which latter
event is not regarded as very probable
by local railroad men. There are two
reasons for the lack of sympathy on
the part of the Montana Central men,
and they are both very potent ones.
In the first place, THE Montana Central
employees are, as a rule, satisfied with
the existing condition of things. They
feel THAT they have NO grievance. and
they also feel that in the event of an
other strike they would not have the
sympa thy of the public ito any such ex-
tent is THAT which was accorded them
at the time of their last trouble. In the
second place, there is "a decided COOL
ness between the employees of the Mon
tana Central and those on the main
line. and neither side is inclined, at
present at least. to help the other out
in case of trouble.
The reasons for this GOODNESS were
explained as follows by a prominent
member of the A. r. u: AT the time
of the last strike THE Montana Central
men wanted ito go Ut alone. We believ-
ed that by tying up the Montana Cen
trail and the Neihart branch we could
make the strike as effective as though
| Tic WiOlE SYSTEM WAS Ileu anu we
were afraid of the men on the main
| line. They are a cheap lot, and we
| were afraid that they would go back
| on us and leave us in the lurch. They
| wanted to come in, but we would not
wait for them and. although they final
| ly did get in with us, they have been
sore at us ever since, and we have had
| little use for them. They now say that
| they are going to try to win a strike
without our assistance. and we have no
| objection to their trying 1t. They can
| not depend on us for assistance how
ever, no matter what condition they
| get into, for we have no grievance, and
| they are not warm friends of ours by
| any means"
Copies of the new schedule which the
| main line men want put into effect
| were received in Butte, but they at
tracted little attention. and were con-
signed to the waste basket without a
| great deal of ceremony.
Chief Detective A. F. Noble of the
Great Northern secret service has been in
the city for several days in connection
with the forgeries of two Great Northern
| time checks six or eight months ago. The
| forgeries were the cleverest that have
ever been perpetrated in Butte and IL was
not until they were compared with the
stubs by the auditor in st. Paul, after
having passed through banks in Butte,
Helena and ST. Paul and through the
| Great Northern treasurer's hands, that
the forgeries were discovered. One of the
| checks was raised from $40 to $140 and the
| other one, which was for about $50, was
/ cashed by Butte business men and were
| accepted by the local banks without
question.
Nearly two weeks elapsed before 1t was
discovered that the checks had been tam
| pered with and the forgers had no diff

| who cashed the forged checks. the officers

parties. The Great Northern detectives

and IL is intimated that they have recent

them, with strong hopes of success.
