the guilty parties.
From st. Cloud, where the trouble
was most aggravated in the case of
the former strike, advices state that
the switchmen have deserted their
posts, but that there is little likeli-
hood of any more serious disturbance.
The situation at Willmar is doubtful,
although as one of the Great Northern
employees said last evening, "Bogert
went to Willmar to call a strike there,
after which he was to do the same
thing further on. He is stifl at Will
mar" From other points messages
have been received, many of them
from the employees of the road, declar-
ing they intend to hold their positions
rather than Strike" themselves out
by joining the agitators.
Word was received at the general
offices yesterday from the Order of
Railroad Conductors protesting
against the representations of the A.
r. U. committee and further express
ing loyalty to the road. They state
that they are in no wise allied to the
A. r. u, and will ignore any order
from that body to go out in the event
of a tie-up.
AT meeting yesterday of sixty en-
gineers and firemen working on the
Montana Central road, fifty-four of
them adopted resolutions condemning
the action of the A. r. u, and setting
forth the fact that they will stand by
their employers in any event The
men say they have no grievance and
are represented by the mediation COM
mittee. A statement to that effect was
signed by the conductors, engineers,
firemen, brakemen, and forwarded to
Supt. McLauren and President Hill.
The officials in charge of the operat-
ing of the road received advices con-
stantly from points along the line of
the road yesterday and are prepared
to meet any trouble which might
arise.
WATCHING EVERY MOVEMENT.
The intention seems to be to keep
thoroughly posted as to the move
ment of the men who are melting the
employees to trouble and to fill the
places of disloyal employees with new
men. The slightest action looking to
the provoking of a strike will be i'm
mediately reported and the ringlead-
ers in any disturbance quickly ar
rested. There are a large number of
members of the A. R. u. who may
sympathize with the men, but who in
all probability would not obey an Or
der to strike for the reason that there
are known to be many men ready to
NIL their places. The engineers and
conductors as rule do not belong to
the order, and it is thought that they
will hardly strike out of sympathy
with the other employees.
General Manager Warren was seen
yesterday by a G o reporter. He
seemed In no way perturbed over the
situation.
while we have a few men out at
Spokane" he said, land two at st.
Cloud, with four engines killed for
threa hours al lKalispell, and two
Slight Interruptions caused by attempt
ed wire tampering and bridge burn
ing, business is going on as usual.
without any delay in any department.
There have been no disturbances at
any other points,
Mr.. Warren admitted having received
several communications from employees
at different places protes ting fealty to
the company and denying that they
had any grievances.
Col. W. P. Clough, vice president of
the road, stated yesterday that he an
ticipated no strike. He takes the view
that the employees of the company have
been complaining of no grievances and
that the company will not recognize
nf N1,t Of
ment, who are plainly attempting to
stir up strife and trouble.
President Hill was seen for a mo-
ment, and in reply to a question as to
the situation, replied briefly: "As far
as 1 know everything is running
smoothly
President Samuel Hill, of the Mon
tana Central, sums up the situate
on his road as follows: 'I do not
think there will be a strike on the
Montana Central. I have no advices
later than noon, but matters were
going on smoothly then. Business is
moving quietly on the Eastern Mime
sofa railway and I anticipate no trou-
bic on that line. In my opinion, the
majority Of people throughout the
country feel that they have had quite
enough panic, strike and other dis
turbances. This, I think, applies to all
classes. They are anxious now for a
revival of business
Although it is somewhat difficult to
learn the local sentiment, it is thought
that the members of the A. R. U. in
the Twin Cities will obey an order to
go out. A meeting was held last night
in TsQh inn1 hut H.
saying what they intend to do. al
though the feeling is that before twen-
ty-four hours something will happen.
1t was said that sixteen men joined
the order.
THINKS THEY'LL STRIKE.
What Is the strike situation to-
night, Mr.. Keliher?" asked a Clio b e
reporter of the general secretry of the
A. R. U. last evening.
"Why, it is just this" was the reply,
"we have heard from a number Of
points and are waiting to hear from
others. AS soon as all are heard from.
we will show our hand, and Mr.. James
Hill may possibly admit publicly what
he has known for some time, and that
is, that all is not as lovely and serene
as he and his general manager would
have the world think. And, by the
way, his general manager is quoted in
an evening paper as saying that am a.
professional agitator. Well, this pro-
fessional agitator has telegraphed to
every point along the read-I mean to
every lodge of the A. r. U.-that Mr..
Hill refused to receive or recognize thd
committee appointed to present the
Devils Lake schedule to him. Yes,
sir, this professional agitator' has
wired simply the facts in the case,
without any establishment or recon-
mendations, and he is now awaiting
Instructions"
''Mr. Hill is reported as having Sc
cured a lot of men in Chicago"
''Oh, knew he was doing that four
days ago. He sent five engineers out
West there to ascertain the name of
every man who had anything to do
with getting up that schedule we tried
to present to him. When he gets them
he will discharge them ALL"
''Are the men in Minneapolis and st.
Paul going to strike tonight?"
ut is too early yet to say. Tomor-
row I may be able to tell you some
thing definite"
