Late Telegraphic News.

ST. Paul, May 15.-All danger of
strike on the Great Northern railway
system has passed, and an amicable
agreement between the company and
it's trainmen has been reached, the
schedules having been signed. Each
side made concessions, although upon
the face Of the terms of compromise
as stated by A. B. GarretsOn, the as
sistant grand conductor of the Order
of Railway Conductors, who, with
Newman, of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen, has conducted the nego-
tiations. the men have somewhat the
better of it.
Points from the New Schedule.
They are granted an increase IN
wages which averages 10 per cent;
the yardmen get the Chicago scale,
which is cents an hour higher than
the st. Paul scale; new men are given
increased wages after one years serv-
ice, instead Of five as proposed by the
company. and upon the double-header
question, which was the cause OF the
deadlock in the negotiations, the men
modified their demands to slight de-
gree. East of MinOt according to the
agreement, the road may run One-half
OF / per cent. of the gross mileage as
double-headerS. On the mountain OIL
visions, west of Minot, 2.3 per cent. OF
the gross mileage is allowed to be
double-header. But in computing the
percenta geof double-headers helper en-
gines must be included.
Where the Mem Made "a Concession.
Ward, the general manager of the
road, in his offer to the men in reply
to their demands for a complete aboll-
ton of the system of double-heading,
proposed to confne it to per cent. of
the gross mileage, which is about the
present percentage upon this road. He,
however, reserved the right to double
head on any pdrtof the system. This Of
fer the men rejected, and complete
deadlock in the negotiations ensued
and a strike seemed inevitable. But
Ward finally receded from this propo-
sition and agreed to district the road
and cOnfine the bulk of the two-engine
trains to the mountain divisions. Then
the men receded from the demand for
the complete abolition of the system

Mr. Frank Meredith, Local Manager
Grand Opera House, Salem, Ore
My Dear Sir; Ever since have
had the management of the Grand
Opera House at Salem l have been
endeavoring to solve the problem as
to how we could obtain more of the
larger attractions for that house. OF
course, occasionally we are able to
have them appear there, provided that
the company happens to be en- route
to Portland from the south, and It Is
case of lay OF or take what is In
sight But when they happen to be
going in the opposite direction. and
book with us, they do so expecting 70
take the 1888 p. m. train the same
night, and thereby lose no time. You
know that we have always discour,
aged that kind OF proposition. and
in several cases II has been the cause
of good attractions cancelling their
dates In Salem. when they found out
that their departure would not be per
mitted. "The Chaperones," one OF the
largest attractions that ever visited
Portland was booked, as you know, at
Salem for October 18th, but cancelled
for no other reason than that of having
TO lose night by staying over The
same thing would have happened In
the case Of the In Old Kentucky"
company which appears there on next
Thursday, the 10th, had II not been
for what might be termed a compro.
mise. After discussing the situation
with their representative, decided,
rather than TO have such n good at
traction pass up the town. 20 try an
experiment of commencing earlier
thereby giving the company plenty of
time TO put on the whole performance
and then catch the train. The curtain
for this attraction will, therefore, be
rung up promptly at 6:45 and the
management guarantees complete
and satisfactory performance in every
particular.
AS ! said above, this is simply an
experiment, and II the Salem patrons
take kindly to II, we will, think, be
able TO give them other large attrac.
tions in the same way. Otherwise, we
will, | am afraid, have TO pass some
good ones up. Please advertise Il
freely that the curtain will be rung up
promptly at 6:45 p. m, and request
the patrons TO be in their seat prompt
ly at that time.
Trusting that the experiment viii
prove satisfactory TO our many pat.

Yours very truly.
