ST. PAUL, March 30.-There is
every reason to believe that James j.
Hill has directed the general man
ayers of the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and Burlington companies
to resist to the end the demands of
the train and enginemen of the three
systems for either double pay on
double header trains or else their to-
tai abandonment.
If this should prove to be the truth
labor struggle is in sight which has
never been equaled in the history of
American railroads. The merger roads
will be the first to actively fight the
demands of the trainmen. who have

SH|NCLE MILLS TALK
OF SHUTTING DOWN

With an increase IN capacity of
more than 60 per cent during the past
year and with prices dropped to the
verge of the dividing line between
profit and loss, the Washington
shingle manufacturers find them
selves facing the most serious con-
dition of defunct market that has
opposed the mill business in the his
tory of the industry In this state.
Previous activity OF demand and
prevailing good prices, together with
every facility of man and nature di-
rectly at hand, has stimulated the
manufacture of shingles during the
past year until new mills have sprung
up like mushrooms, almost in u night

ON TRACY'S RIFLE

| Crazy John" decided TO mar the des-
perado's deadly aim. He took up a
rock while the famous rifle was laid
aside and tapped the rear sight which
changed it enough to throw the angle
far from straight.
Thus. through the efforts of the
boy, the most noted outlaw in the
history of the country was captured
and not alone through the extraordi-
nary bravery and good craftsmanship
of the Washington posse.

TACOMA, March 30.-The confer

car men and the company resulted in
q request for the men to submit a
new proposition today, which it is
believed will result in a settlement

are willing to return to work. The
company declines to recognize the
union and claims to have applications
from car men in California, but pre-
fers to take the old men back.

about 90 per cent within the year.
