Spokane, WASH, Aug. brain serv-
Ice on the Northern Pacific is badly
crippled. ,All trains are far behind
schedule time, and despite statements
OF the officials it seems that the strike
and tie-up are extending.
So far no accidents are reported on
either road on the idaho or Cascade
division. but travel is falling off, and
freight shippers are Complaining.
The Great Northern rules require that
head brakemen shall be telegraph op-
orators, hence that line is having less
difficulty. = -. r..
General Chairman Tanqueray, of the
70, R. T., arrived in. Spokane tonight to
take charge of the strike from here.
At the office Of the Great Northern
there ere no telegraphers working, with
the exception Of the chief dispatcher
and an assistant. Officials Of the COM
pany stated that there were twelve op-
orators. on this division working, which
was sufficient to enable them to operate
all trains.
The Northern Pacific officials claim
that the company has four operators
working east of Spokane as far as Trout
Creek. On the Washington division
there are six offices open, including the
Spokane office, between here and Pasco,
and, five between Pasco and Ellensburg.

end, according to information received
here. Where operators refused to ac-

removed. Trains last night were run,

appears to fear no difficulty. along that
line, but it will be impossible to load
or unload freight at any of the small
towns along the line because at these
stations the only man who has been rep,
resenting the company is either locked
out or has struck. In nearly all the
towns in the Breckenridge division one
man is employed as AGENT and operator,
and where the operators are out it
leaves no one to represent the company.

exist on the Northern Pacific line in

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 3.-One Of the
worst phases Of the present troubles be-
tween the telegraphers and the railroads
is the handicap to macnfnery shipments
to the harvest fields. On account OF. the
fear OF rust the farmers and small deal
ers have been more careful than ordi-
narl!y in their purchases, and have de-
!ayed matters to an unusual degree. The
haying is practically completed and
early wheat, barley and rye is being
cut. The wheat harvest will be gen
eral next week. Localfdealers say that
orders for harvesting machinery for the
branch lines Of road and some of the
western sections will be greatly re-
tarded as the freight trains have been
laid out for the passenger service
Local railway agents have received
orders to accept shipments subject to
delay, only, and to- take mo perishable
shipments. All goods sent to small Sta
lions, where the operators have. quit,
The strike promises to handicap the
stockmen. On the ranges in the west
ern part Of the statel and in Montana
cattle are practically ready for ship
ment, but the ranchmen will not dare
make the attempt while trains are laid
out. Last year thefranchmen were han.
dicapped by the strike Of the packing
house employees and this trouble now is
kind OF last straw for them.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Aug. s.-At a

the stations, however, the agent is also
the operator, and these stations are
locked up, and ticket sales and freight
handling are suspended.

Duluth, Aug. 3.-The strike of the

an, Great Northern roads has. not yet
ations considerably. Passenger trains
have been pretty generally on time and
freight trains were not much delayed.
Trains have been sent out without the
clearances that are always given, and
have orders to run without them, the in
run on: strictly schedule time. T.
The most serious proposition the
Great Northern faces is, in all proba-
bility, in connection with the ore traffic
on the line running. to the Mesaba
range. The ore must be kept moving at
q certain rate OF, the vessels at the
docks will be tied up and put to Sc
rious expense. Then, too, the mining
interests want their full quota Of ore
sent down the lakes for the eastern fur
naces, and as the season closes Dec. l
and the ore movement is being crowded
to the limit, any delay means that much
less S, tor the season. Hence every energy
moving. That traffic amounts to about
so cents a ton. The line to The Mesaba
range is double-tracked nearly all of
the way. and this solves a large part of
that difficulty.
