THINK J. J. HILL
WILL INTERVENE
STRIKERS HAVE HOPES THAT
GREAT NORTHERN PRESl.
DENT WILL ACT.
MAGNATE is BACK FROM EAST
TOO BUSY AT GENERAL OFFICE
TO BE BOTHERED ABOUT
THE STRIKE.

ST Paul. Aug. 16.-The arrical home
of James j Hin. president Of the
Great Northern road, and of Louis
w. Hill, first vice president, were the
only new factors yesterday in the tel
egraphers' strike upon the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific
roads President Hill came back from
the East Sunday night; his son re-
turned yesterday morning from the
Pacific coast. Both had left ST. Paul
before the strike began, two weeks
ago.
II is tho"oht at strike headquarters
that President Hill, despite his pub
lished approval of the attitude taken
by his companies, may intervene to
end the disagreement between the
roads and the operators, who are still
on strike. No confirmation of that
hope was to be gained at the Great
Northern Office yesterday. Mr.. Hill
was too busy to be seen.
No Material Change.
Although there is no cessation of
the vague gossip that interested
parties are trying to compromise the
strike difficulties SO that all the old
men will agree to resume work, both
sides repeat that no material change
has taken place since Saturday Pres
ident Perham says that his men are
still holding out we'll; that the freight
traffic on both roads is reduced to a
mere fraction of it's former volume;
that passenger traffic is very light,
and that the companies are unable to
fill the places of the strikers.
But General Manager Horn of the
Northern Pacific and General Superin-
tendent Slade of the Great Northern
consider it no
Longer Worth While
to make formal statements Of the fact
that, as they declare, normal condi-
tions have been restored. 1t was said
informally, at the Northern Pacific Of
fee, that the slight change since last
week was all in the company's favor
And at the Great Northern headquar-
ters information was gained that, be-
ginning to-day, the company accepts
all freight shipments unconditionally.
Freight will be taken from now on,
an official said, exactly as it was be-
fore the strike
