A STRIKE AVERTED.
An Agreement is Reached Which is Sat.
isfactory to Both Sides.

ST. PAUL, May l4.-All danger of
strike on the Great Northern rail-
way system has passed, and an ami
cable agreement between the company
and its trainmen has been reached,
the schedule being signed shortly
after 5 O'Clock this afternoon.
Each side made concessions, al
though upon the face of the terms Of
the compromise, as stated by ~. B.
Garretson, assistant grand conductor
of the Order of Railway Conductors,
who, with Mr.. Newman Of the Brother
hood of Railway trainmen has cu..-
Quoted the neg citations, the men haze
somewhat the better of it. They ate
granted an increase in wages whic.-
averages Is per cent, the increase to
date from March lst, last. Yardmen
get the Chicago scale which is three
cents per hour higher than the St.
Paul scale. New men are given in
creased wages after one years ser.
vice, 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 dem ands to a
slight degree. East Of Minot, accord
ing to the agreement, the road may
run one half of l per cent of the gross
mileage as dOuble-headers. On noun
tain divisions west of Minot, 2.3 per
cent of the gross mileage is to be dou-
ble-headed. But in computing the
percentage of double-headers, helper
engines must be included.
Mr.. W ard receded from his offer OF
per cent dou ble-headers and agreed
bulk of the two engine trains to the
mountain divisions. With this under
standing the men receded from theil
dem ands for complete abolition of the
system, and details of their wage sched'
ule and other matters which were a,
issue were then settled in a manner
satisfactory to each party.
Mr.. Garretson on behalf of the men
expressed himself as extremely well
pleased with the negotiat and as
grateful to the business mems com
mittee for their successful endeavo1
to bring about peaceful settlement
He admitted that at one time the stu
alton was of such a critical character
that strike seemed unavoidable, bu1
upheld his contention that the mer
concessions should the company show
conciliatory spirit.
General Manager Ward refused tc
make any public statement, further
than to say that everything had beer

Some good measure may be introduce

gauntlet is made by educational insti.

institutions were provided for and
