Local Club Active.
| The Minneapolis Commercial club is |
one of the bodies that has been awake |
to the needs of business interests in |
the critical moment of stagnation Of |
railway traffic, on the two transcon-
tinentals. Sunday committee of the |
club held a conference with General
Manager Horn Of the Northern Pacific
and General Superintendent Slade of |
the Great Northern. The committee did
not ask for arbitration but endeavored |
to impress upon the two officials the |
needs Of the business interests Of tho
city in the situation and stated its de- |
sire to be helpful in the matter. The |
results were apparently no more ia /
vorable than those Of other confer
ences.
Takes Exception to slade.
Mr.. Perham takes exception to the
statement Of General Manager slade
Of the Great Northern Offices are In
operation. =,
Mr.. Slade was cautious not to tell
how many telegraphers were at work,
said Mr.. Perham. "He has number
of Offices open which are in charge OF
mechanics and others who know moth
ing about telegraphy, and who have
station work. I deny that 80 per cent
of the Great Northern stations are even
open and in charge of other than regu-
| lar station men. In Minnesota alone,
up to last night, there were over 80
Great Northern stations close and not
accepting or delivering any freight.
The Great Northern Stations Closed.

President Perham gave out the fol
lowing typewriter statement today:
to Mr.. HILLS assertion that the telegrapher
= quit without notice does not seem to con
y sist with the fact that in the same breatl
he admits that we rbtified the genera
or manager after conferences that Taste
tt over a year, that we would go to the lirni
'e to get justice, and that we actually ap
III pea1ed to Mr.. Hill before calling the strik
and waited two days for him to answer
- While we waitetd the general manage
ordered lockout, and that had the effec
Of forcing our hands. If the lockout ha
10 not been started the strike would no
have ensued.
- The strike vote was sent out May 81
= 1905, and seventeen spies, ostensibl
., a working as telegraphers, promptly sent i
+ copy to the general manager the day
was received.
