GREAT NORTHERN VOTE
1t VIII Be canvassed Sunday and Laid

It Will Be Canvassed Sunday and Laid
Before. Mr.. Ward.
The vote of the Great Northern train
men on the proposition of maintaining a
strike will be canvassed Sunday at the
Windsor hotel.
The result Of the vote probably will
not be announced until after it has been
laid before General Manager F. E. Ward
and after a second conference. It is said
that the road believes that the trafnmen s
proposition is but a step toward stand
ard unit train and nothing has yet been
done to indicate that the road will recede
from its position. Conferences between
President James J. Hill and General Man
ager Ward, and the st. Paul directors Of
the road, have only strengthened this
position.
The leaders Of the trainment say that
the matter circulated by the road has
not affected the sentiment among the
men, and has aided their side rather than
damaged it. They point to the fact that
thirty-six of the leading railway manag-
ers OF the country have granted their re-
quest as an indication that it. is not un-
just.
