ST.. PAUL, Nov. 11.-There appears no
longer to be any doubt that the strike
OH the Great Northern is a thing, not
that ia over, but that will not ma
terialize. There is no evidence wanting
to show the truth of this statement, and
the most natural explanation is that
oven if the members of the A. r. U.
have at any time thought it possible to
secure a vote to strike from a majority
of their lodges, the prompt decisive &C.

ment forestalled such a possibility by
making the first move. In the general
offices of the Great Northern road ad-
vices have been received for some time
back of the every action taken byievery
lodge along the entire system.

that refused to work or failed to report
for duty will ever work for this road
again. The notice that vas posted or
