What the Great Northern Train Men
Want.
TO the Editor Of The Journal.
In your editorial of last evening with
reference to the difficulty between the
Great Northern trainmen and the COM
pany, you claim the men want this kind
of a standard train and say: "a standard
train means that all roads must haul the
same number Of cars with the same num-
Der Of locomotives, no matter what the
grades or condition Of track or the power
OF the locomotives.
Now, how you arrived at this conclusion
is more than I can reason out, for surely
nothing the Great Northern trainmen
have said would warrant it. The mems
contention is this, as I understand it,:
Suppose a 20x26 engine on the Northern
Pacific pulls 1900 tons and on account Of
better grades, the same sized engine on the
Great Northern pulls 1000 tons. The men
do not contend, as you imply, that the
Great Northern engine shall reduce her
load to 1900 tons, but that the Great
Northern shall not put on another engine
and 1,50o or 1000 more tons and callit one
train, and ask the same number of men to
handle this train, while the Northern Pa
cific and other roads, with sleeper grades
Ind lighter trains, have abolished the
double header. Each system stands alone
as to number OF cars or tons pulled The
rate of pay now in effect was based on ono
engine trains and no one will deny that
to double the train violates the agree
ment upon which that rate was based.
The fact is, the Great Northern now
pulls half mile OF. cars with one engine
and now wants to put on another engine
and pull a, mile Of cars, making a tele-
phone system necessary between the men.
This long, heavy train does add to the
duties. dangers and responsible tiles OF the
! men by reason OF train breaking In two
pulling out draft irons, Saving by al
passing points and in various other ways
that must be seen to be understood.
| Whether this leads to the employment
of more men or not is another question
Most people expect to employ more hell

but will not cross her wishes in the

of production.
Although large crop had been
raised, much Of it was destroyed by
the early fall rains, and every bushel
sold represented a direct loss to the
producer. There was no live stock
in the country Farmers were buying
pork products shipped from the east,
and paying high prices for them. But
ter and eggs were shipped in carload
lots from the states of the middle
west. Times were hard and getting
harder. The country was on credit
basis, and pay day had to come and
found many, in fact, vast majority,
unable to meet their obligations.
Many were driven to the wall, and
farmers who cultivated thousands Of
acres of land were made bankrupt.
Many of them were forced to get
few COWS, pigs and chickens in or
der to have something to trade at the
stores for groceries. The panic was
the main factor in forcing the Palouse
country from a credit to a cash basis,
and from a single crop TO diversified
farming region.

that panic have learned their lesson
