LABOR TROUBLE SUDDENLY ENDS.
Trainmen Accept Great Northern
Wage Schedule.

ST. Paul, Feb. 4.-There will be no
strike on the Great Northern. The
traiEmen, it became known late yester-
day afternoon, accepted the wage
schedule offered by the company. The
elimination Of the disagreement Is
said to be unparalleled in the history
Of grievance adjustments. Both Gen
eral Superintendent Ward and mem
bers Of the grievance committee were
surprised at the result. During the
past two weeks the brakemen and
freight conductors (the only ones In
yolved) have been balloting on the
proposition to accep. or reject the
wage schedule offered by the road.
These ballots have been received by
the committee, sealed, but accompa-
MED by letters purporting to give the
total of the vote cast. On the strength
OF the letters the committee claimed
the decision was almost unanimous for
rejection and a probable strike. The
sealed ballots were held until the ar
rival Of w. @. Lee, vice grand master
Of the National Order or Railroad
trainmen, and e. e. Clark, grand mas
ter Of the Order Of Railway Conduc-
tors. These officials arrived yesterday
morning and Immediately proceeded to
canvass the ballots. There were less
than a dozen more than majority
against the acceptance Of the schedule,
whereas the constitution Of the order
declares majority Of two-thirds Is
nece ssary. Then the letters accom-
panying the ballot packages were pro-
duced and compared. In some IN
stances they tailed, but there were
many that differed. There was no go
ing behind the returns. There was the
vote of the trainmen and the conduc-
tors and 1t showed plainly that they
did not insist upon an increase In pay.

TERMINALS AT EVERETT.
Northern Pacific Turns Seattle Down
Very Hard.

New York. Feb. f. -. The Northern
Pacific has purchased from the Stand
ard OIL company its interests In the
western section Of the Everett Il
Monte Crlsto railroad and its termin-
ais in Everett, Wash. The deal was
completed here. 1t is more important
than appears on the surface, because
the Northern Pacific Will build up
Everett as its Puget sound headquar-
ters. II will come into direct compe-
tition at that point with the Great
Northern. The Everett ~ Monte Girls
to western section) runs from Snoho-
mish to Everett. between eleven and
twelve miles. The terminals are ex-
tensive and adequate. The particular
reason why the Northern Pacific has
purchased the read is to secure more
tern inals for its growing Pacific coast
business. Tacoma proved too small
and Seattle was too exacting. The
latter city recently turned down the
Northern Pacific's proposition to build
a large depot. The Northern Pacific
will handle the Standard OILS business
over the line just purchased.

Minneapolis. Feb. 4. - Edward Ed
ynunds' life was battered out at the
foundry of the Peteler Car works,
Thirtieth avenue southeast. No ono
knows exactly how the accident nap
pened The first intimation received
by other workmen was an agonized
yell from the upper floor of the build
ing, followed by a horrid humping.
The men FASTENED to the place and
found Edmunds' body twirling about
rapidly moving shaft. The engine was
stopped. but the man was already
dead An oil can lying near by seemed
to indicate that he had been oiling the
bearings of the shaft, when his cloth
ing caught. Coroner Nelson, who ex-
amined the remains, found that the
body was frightfully bruised. The
clothing was nearly all torn Off and
the lower extremities had been
whipped into jelly by contact with the
nearby timbers.
