NO STRIKE ON
GREAT NORTHERN
Both Sides to the Controversy
Made Concessions.
AN AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED
employees ARE SATISFIED
WITH THE OUTCOME.

st. Paul, MINI, Nay 14.-Au danger
Of a strike on the Great Northern rail-
way system has passed, and an am
lcable agreement between the company
and its trainmen has been settled, the
schedules being signed shortly after
O'Clock this afternoon. Both sides made
concessions, although on the face Of the
terms Of compromise, as stated by A.
3. Garretson, the assistant grand con-
ductor of the Order Of Railway COnduc-
tors, who, with Mr. Newman of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, has
conducted the negotiations, the men have
somewhat the better of it. They are
granted an increase of wages which
averages Is per cent; the yardmen get
the Chicago scale, which is 3 cents an
hour higher than the St Paul scale;
new men are given Increased wages after
one years service instead Of five as pro-
posed by the company, and upon the
double-h header question, which was the
cause of the deadlock in the negotia-
tons, the men modified their demands
to slight degree. East Of Minot, ac-
cordIng to the agreement, the road may
run one-haf Of 1 per cent of the gross
mileage as doubled headers. On the
mountain divisions, west of Minot, %
per cent Of the gross mileage is allowed
TO be double-headers. But in eomput-
ing the percentage of double-headers
Mr.. Ward. the general manager Of the
road, in his offer to the men in reply to
their demands for a complete abolition
of the system of doubIe-heading, pro-
posed to confine it to 3 per cent Of the
gross mileage, which is about the pres
ent percentage upon this road. He,
however, reserved the right to double
head on any part of the system. This
offer the men rejected and a complete
deadlock in the negotiations ensued,
and a strike seemed inevitable. The
business men of the Twin Cities, how
ever, undertook to bring the parties to-
gether again, and succeeded so well
that, as fOreshadOwed in last nights
dispatches, an agreement was spracti-
cally arranged at once and today's con-
ferences had only to do with consider
ing the details.
Mr.. Ward retired from his offer Of 8
per cent double-headers and agreed to
redistTict the road and COnfine the bulk
of the twO-engine trains to the noun
tain divisions. With this understand
ing the men receded from the demands
for a complete abolition of the system,
and the details of their wage schedule
and other matters at issue were then
settled in a manner satisfactory to
each side.
Mr. Garretson, on behalf of the men,
expressed himself as extremely well
pleased with the result of the negOtia-
tiOns.
General Manager Ward refused to
make any public statement, further
than to say that everything had been
settled in a manner satisfactory to the
company. President James J. HUI, who
has been making a tour Of the Mesaba
range, arrived home shortly after the
signing of the agreement with the men
and said he was very glad that an ar
rangement had been reached and that
a strike had been sEerted.

GREAT BRITAIN
WILL NOT LAC
Will Build Warships as Long as
Other Nations Do Likewise.
United STATES AS A FACTOR
QUESTION TO BE CONSIDERED IN
THE FUTURE.

London. Nay 1.-THE question Of the
reduction Of naval ornaments came up
agein today IN the house Of commons
during a discussion of the estimates
HE speakers suggested that the gov
eminent take the first step in proPOs-
ing q reduction to other powers, Sir
Charles Dixie, advanced radical said
ne thought this might be possible. In
view Of the improved relations between
Great Britain and France. those two
nations might talk the matter over and
subsequently approach Russia Even
II Germany did not agree TO a reduc-
uon, the three powers might erect
something 1t was not necessary for
Great Britain TO build against the
emitted States. 1t would be as great a
mistake TO count on the United states
as an enemy as to count on her as an
active ally, for the United States has
always been the great defender of the
rights Of neutraIs.
Mr.. Arnold Forster, the admiralty
secretary, after having pointed out that
II was the duty Of the admiralty to deal
with facts as they We're and not as
they might be, said that all the great
powers were increasing their maritime
Preparations, mainly Russia. Accord
Ing to the available figures. France and
RUSSIA together were now DulluIn8
three more battleships than Great Brit
ain. AS the actual force in ships
which could be arTayed against Great
Britain ought to be the guiding prtn-
ciple, he denied that the admiralty s
proposals were in excess Of the re-
Cuirements Of the country.
The secretary added that he would
not on that occasion express any view
with regard to the position as affected
by the United States; that was a grave
consideration which in future would
have to be considered.
