situation of the Rocky Mountain di-
vision of the road, and as to the like
lihood of the spread of the trouble
to other divisions, said: Il have not
been advised as to the nature of the
trouble on Superintendent Russells
division, and therefore cannot speak
authOritatively on the subject. The
difficulty whatever it is, is confined
to the Rocky mountain division, and
l do not apprehend that it will spread
to any other division nor that it is
very serious even on that division.
All through freight is being handled
over the division, which would not
be the case if the trouble were seri-
ous."
Butte, Mont, March 10.-A special
to the Miner from Missoula says that
the striking trainmen, while not
wholly successful, have succeeded in
so crippling the Rocky Mountain di-
vision of the Northern Pacific as to
make the carrying of freight on the
Northern Pacific an impossibility
But four trains have been handled
since yesterday, and these with nom
union men.
At meeting tonight a decided
stand was taken by the train men to
stand by the action they had
taken and remain out until the com
pany re-instated the crew discharged
for refusing to run around another
| crew. The Western Federation of
labor also held meeting and de-
cided' to send message to General
Superintendent Kimberly asking that
he come and personally investigate
the trouble. The strikers claim, they
have over 100 men out and the num-
Der will increase as soon as the crews
out on the road come in.
This strike was occasioned by a
train crew at Helena who had refused
to report for duty when called, claim
ing that they were not properly next.
The trainmaster at Helena promptly
discharged the men, who appealed to
Mr.. Russell. Mr.. Russell resolved tc
support the trainmaster and also re
fused to refer the matter to st. Paul
The discharged men live at Missouls
and the strike was declared at thai
point Only mail and passenger
trains are operating freight being
side tracked.

Until Discharged Train Crew has been Renstated-Kdred
Labor Organizations are Considering the Question
Of a Sympathetic Strike.

Missoula, March 10.-The Northern
Pacific strike continues at midnight
and there is little prospect that the
end is Immediately in sight. The SO
strikers who walked out last night
have been increased today until the
number now includes 100.
During the afternoon there were in
dications that the trouble was to end,
but the hopes proved unavailing of
good results. One hundred and fifty
railroad men met in Union hall this
afternoon. The situation in detail
was discussed ano q petition made
for the Firemen's union and the Or
der of Conductors to join in the walk
out. From hem came a reply that
their constitution would forbid such
action. Several prominent members
of those unions allege the real reason
for non-support to be the irregularity
of the manner in which the strike
was called, claiming it was done with
out authority and that no other
unions will join the strikers.

with a committee of six from the
