MAKING BETTER TIME
TRAINS ON GREAT NORTHERN
AND NORTHERN PACIFIC
SHOW LESS DELAY.

st. Paul, Aug. THE restoration of
transcontinental train service to al
most the.normal standard and the &C
ceptance 81 perishable freight for all
points on both roads are positive
gains claimed by the Northern Pa
cifc and the Great Northern COM
panies in their struggle with the strik-
ing telegraphers. But the telegraph
ers retort that they have never sought
to interrupt the movement of paSsen-
ger traffic and that perishable freight
is accepted subject to delay a con-
dition that amounts in many cases to
a real embargo. For the strikers it is
also claimed that the trainmen have
refused to continue to run trains un-
der any of the new conditions, as
tagging and telephoning, that have
been introduced since the strike be.
gan.
Great Northern and Northern Pa
cifc officials declare that the stations
are being rapidly manned with oper-
ators and that freight and passenger
traffic is moving satisfactorily. They
say many strikers are returning to
work and that within a week prac-
tically normal conditions will prevail.
President H. B. Perham of the
telegraphers declares that the strike
is a success from his point of view.
The men, he says, are standing firm
and freight traffic is paralyzed.

AFFECTS $4,000 MEN
EXECUTIVE BOARD OF STRUC.
TURAL IRON WORKERS
FAVORS STRIKE.

Cleveland, Aug. 7.-"Five Of the
seven members of the executive board
Of the International Association Of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
have voted in favor of a strike against
the American Bridge company" said
Secretary J. J. Mcnamara.
The strike is contingent on the
action that may he taken by Presi
dent Frank Buchanan. He is in Chi.
cago, but we expect that he will ar.
rive in Cleveland shortly. 1 have not
the least idea that he will go against
the vote of the executive board; that
being so a strike, in my opinion, is in.
evitable."
If the structural iron workers are
called out on account of the griev.
nee that exist at New Haven, Conn.
it is said 10000 men will be involved,
mostly in the Eastern states. In the
event of a general strike forty-three
counties in Eastern Ohio will be af
fected.
