RO4DS NOT TIED UP.
photographers Strike 4fects MoUe-
ment of Freight, HO1ceuer.

St Paul Aug. 2-The general strike called by
President Perham of the Order Of Railroad Teler
rapbers last night on the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific systems the managers of the
roads say has not nterfered with the running of
passenger trains. General Manager Slade of the
Great Northern Railway. said to-day that all trains
had come in on time far and that no
great Inconvenience had been felt For year the
railroads have been installing telephone systems
for such an emergency.
The strike promises to be a long drawn out con
test. President Perham and his assistants in the
employees organization began the day with an at
tempt to close up all the loose ends OF the strike
"On what basis would you be willing to call off
the strike?' Perham was asked
oh we are still in a peaceful and amiable mood ."
said the leader. and will be reasonable If J. ].
Hin viii talk business and meet my proposition
fairly We viii settle. But soon his hired
men began TO prod us we made up minds TO
prod back, and the fight is for keeps
we have now $50 out on the Great Northern
road. and 100 on the Northern Pacific. These are
our figures. and you may take them for what they
are worth"
II. J. Horn. of the Northern Pacific, to-day made
the following statement:
President Perham's order was generally obeyed
and all the divisions of the system many
operators have left their keys This has not, how
ever. tied up traffic at any point on the Northern
Pacific. Passenger trains the entire line are
running this morning very close TO their schedules
terday, is time. and the limited due in St. Paul
TO the Pacific Coast 0rain No. 81 which left St
Paul at 10 o'clock last night was on time this morn
ing.
The strike has interfered to some degree with
the movement Of freight over the system, but not
in such proportions as 10 produce blockades or Sc
rious congestion.
Mr. Slade, Of the Great Northern Railway, made
q similar statement
Immediate evidence of the strike appears to-day
in the accumulation Of perishable freight at the
commission houses here. Perishable shipments of
all sorts for towns between St. Paul and the State
OF Washington were refused to-day, with a few
exceptions, by the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific roads and by the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific Express companies.
