NO STRIKE.
The Great Northern Employees Ac-
cept the Company's Terms.

For some time fears have been en-
tertained that a general strike and con-
sequent "tie-up" of the Great North
ern road was more than probable. A
committee of employees has been hold
ing conferences with the officers of the
road and all sorts of rumors as to the
result have been circulated. 1t seems
now that the differences have been
satisfactorily adjusted, and no strike
will occur. The Pioneer Press of Sat
urday tells the story:
There will be no strike on the Great
Northern. The trainmen, it became
cepted the wage schedule offered by
the company.
The elimination of the agreement 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 brake
men and freight conductors the only
ones invOlved) have been balloting on
the proposition to accept or reject the
wage schedule offered by the road.
These ballots have been received by
the committee sealed, but accompanied
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 re-
lection and a probable strike.
The sealed ballots were held until
the arrival of w. G. Lee, vice grand
master of the National Order of Rail
road Trainmen, and E. e. Clark grand
master fthe Order of Railway Com
ducters. These officials arrived yes
terday morning and Immediately pro-
ceeded 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 declare a majority of two
thirds is necessary to reject. Then the
letters accompanying the ballot pack
ages procured were compared. In some
instances they Tailed, but there were
not many that differed. There was no
going behind the returns. There was
the vote of the trainmen and the con-
ductors, and it showed plainly that they
did not insist upon an increase in pay.
That is what they have been rep
resented as contending for several
months. When the committee realized
what had happened it's members went
to the Office of General Superintendent
Ward, where they notified that official
that the trainmen had voted to accept
the schedule offered by the road.
The officers of the national organi-
cation of the railroad men left on last
nights train for the East, remarking
that this was the queerest adjustment
of labor dispute they had ever seen.
''That half the men on the road should
virtually vote against proposition to
increase their salaries is beyond me-
said Mr.. Clark.

FISH DYING In STREAMS
DAM REPORTED TO HAVE BLOCKED
SHOAL AT BEMIDJI.

Executive Agent Beutner yesterday re-
ceived the following telegram from Mayor
F. T. Dudley, of Bemidji: Dam built
at foot of Lake Bemidji. Tons of fish
reported dead below the dam. No fish
sluice as required by law"
Mr.. Beutner Immediately notified the
game warden at Brainerd to go to Be
midi at once and have an opening made
that the fish may have free run up
stream. In the spring the breeding fish
find outlet from the large lakes to the
streams that feed the main body of wa
ter. After depositing their eggs they
return to the still water Mr.. Beutner
stated that he believed, if the report re-
ferred to in Mayor Dudiey's message was
true, that the fish, unable To get any
further than the mill dam, have become
wedged in so closely that they were un-
able to escape in either direction and died
Of suffocation.
The hundred more saw mills in Min
nesota now planning their forest product
are with little exception located on some
stream where fish are very plentiful.
Dams are built by the owners Of the mill
to secure power, and very often leave no
passage for the fish.

Across the Face in
Much-Mixed
ARRAY.

Excitement ran high in the neighbor
hood Of Twelfth and Robert streets for
half an hour early last evening by rea-
son of colony fight among the Italians
living in the vicinity. The seat of trouble
was at the home Of Frank Restivo GOT
Robert street, but as the other Italians
learned of the fight the streets were filled
with chattering men, women and chill
dren, while screams and cries sounded
from the house. There appeared to be
no police about, aid the warning Italians
had ample opportunity to finish up half
a dozen vendettas. The fight in the house
ranged uninterrupted while occasionally
a worsted belligerent rushed into the
street and called for help. Several wom-
Ell appeared to have been mixed up in
the row also, and their screams could be
heard for blocks. A large crowd was at
tracted by the excitement and gathered
outside Of Restivos house, but none dared
enter to quell the disturbance Finally a
girl with blood streaming down the side
of her face rushed out of the house, de-
claring she had been stabbed Then there
was general exodus of Italians who fed
in all directions.
By this time some one conceived the
idea of notifying the police, and tele-
phone message to the central station took
the patrol wagon, loaded with officers,
to the scene. Little could be learned of
the fracas when the police arrived. save
that it was Restivo's seventeen-year-old
daughter, Marie. who had been cut. The
wound developed to be only a trivial in
cision on the check Restivo claimed the
trouble was brought about by Sam Wor-
dena, a young Italian, who has been in
the city but few days. He says Wor-
dena forced his way into the house and
undertook to clean out the place, threat
cning to kill every one who opposed him.
Detective Meyer and Conductor Bum
gardner found WOrdena and arrested him
on the charge of assault and battery.
A number of Italians who congregated
when the police reached the scene show

Of Gen. Pope, who in turn referred it to
