Trouble at Brainerd to Lead
to General Demands on
the Company.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Brainerd, Mimi, May 10.-The recent
trouble in this city between the Northern
Pacific company and the machinists may
prove the beginning of a prolonged fight
between the road and this class of work
men over the entire system. 1t is reported
big meeting will be held in St. Paul and
that all shops on the system from st. Paul
to the coast will be represented. Along
with this rumor is report that the ma
chinists have decided to make demands
OF the company along lines that will sure
ly result in much trouble.
All unions are said to be figuring on a
nlne-hour schedule to replace the present
one Of ten hours. This will be one of
the st. Paul meeting. Then they will ask
for a raise of 5 cents an hour.
The handy men, it is understood, will
be the subject Of greatest Importance. It
was over~this class of men that the re-
cent trouble arose and it was thought
when General Manager Cooper met the
delegation from the local union and Vice
President Wilson, of the National Ma
chinsts' association, that the whole diff
ficulty had been settled, at least so far
as the "handy men" were concerned. Now
it is understood that delegations from diff
ferent shops will ask that all men Of this
class be removed from machines.
This is rather sweeping demand in the
face Of the recent agreement that a test
would be made as between the ability of
regular machinists and handy men, to
turn out work. This test is supposed TO
be going on now. One of the agreements
made a the recent meetingswith General
Mana ger Cooper was that the men would
inuthe future submit differences of this
kind for arbitration before going out.
