 At strike headquarters telegrams were arriving fro every point along the two systems from loyal unionists, stating that every telegraph operator to a man had gone out, and that complete tie up was effected On the other hand an equal number of telegrams were being sent out to heads of unions at various points, in- structing them to set picket line. Pres ident Perham said: I've have now $50 men out on the Great Northern and HOO on the Northern Pacific"
 General Manager Slade of the Great Northern railway said today that trains had come in on time SD Tar today, ana that no great inconvenience had been felt.
