elevated above the sand on piles. A
few minutes before 5 o'clock a bolt
struck the flagstaff and grounded in
the very thickest Of the crowd. Near

STRIKE AND ACQU|NA[
Telegraph Operators on Great
Northern and Northern
Pacific Locked Out
New UIm Dentist, Dr.. Koch,
promptly Acquitted on
Third Trial

ST. Paul, Aug. after two weeks
Of conferences with the grievance
committees of the operators employed
on their lines, the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific Railway companies
Tuesday took the initial step in bring
ing the points at Issue to close.
The conferences with the general
managers of both roads were terminal
I'D last Friday night, when both Gen
eral Manager H. ]. Horn of the North
ern Pacific and General Manager F.
E. Ward of the Great Northern sub
mitted to the representatives Of the
telegraph operators new wage sched-
ules In which liberal concessions were
made to the men. The operators,
through President H. B. Perham and
Vice President J. X. Newman, were
told that these schedules would be put
into effect on Aug. 1.
In order to give the men employed
on the lines every chance to choose
for themselves whether the new
schedules were satisfactory, division
superintendents were ordered to make
canvass of every man in their dis
tricts. Those who accept the COM
panies' propositions are retained in the
service. aad those who declare their
allegiance to their committees and re-
fuse to abide by the companies
schedules are asked to resign.
Tuesday probably one-half or more
Of the telegraphers on both roads were
thus approached by the officials, and.
according to the statements of the lat
ter, approximately 80 per cent are en-
tirely satisfied with the new rules and
rates. This, it is said, amounts to
virtual reputation by the men Of the
grievance committees of each road.
Neither road expects any difficulty
in the operation of its trains, as they
have many nonunion men ready to
take the places of the operators who
may. strike.
President H. B. Perham of the Or
der of Railway Telegraphers issued a
strike order to the operators of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
at II o'clock Tuesday night. The
strike order does not include the sta
ton agents at St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and nine
other Of the larger offices. All opera
tors. however, are included with the
exception of train dispatchers.
