HILL TALKS ABOUT TTHESTRIKE
Says 1t ls Result of Rivalry Between
Unions.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 20.--ln discuss
ing general railroad conditions OF the
country James J Hill contended that
with the advance in cost of all mate
rials required for construction and
maintenance Of railroads the large
railroad systems of the country are
having trouble to make ends meet.
Engineers and trainmen," said Mr..
Hill, are among the best paid labor
ers in the country and their wages
have been increased more during the
last few years than those of any other
class of workmen For that reason |
think that the possibility of a general
strike among these men is altogether
remote and, in fact, not considered Sc
riously by the men themselves.
The recent strike by the sWitchmen
employed on the Northern railroads
was the result more of rivalry between
two organizations of these employees
than from any other cause. The or
ganization which ordered the walkout
hoped to be successful ana in that way
attract to membership all switchmen
employed on the other railroad sys-
TENS who are affiliated with the Order
of Railway Trainmen. But it required
only three days to place this strike
where it failed to prove troublesome
to the railroads"

CARS GO DOWN EMBANKMEN1
No One Killed in Accident, but Many
Are injured.


Chicago, Dec 20.-Train No. SO on
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad was wrecked at Western
Springs, H., near Chicago, three sleep
ing cars rolling down an embankment.
No person was killed, but many
were injured. Few of the injured,
however, are seriously hurt.
Two women passengers were the
worst injured. One of them suffered
broken leg and the other a broken
arm. Other passengers who were
hurt received cuts from broken glass
and were bruised and shaken up.
The train, which came from the Pa
cific coast by way of st. Paul, was
running rapidly, being seven or eight
hours late. When near Western
Springs a broken rail sent the three
sleeping cars rolling down an embank-
ment ten or fifteen feet, pitching the
cars on their sides in the ditch.
The fact that no person on board
the train was killed seems remarkable
to all who were in the accident.
Although the weather was nearly
zero the passengers suffered little
from the cold, as relief was promptly
at hand and the passengers were able
| to dress before leaving the cars, not
withstanding that the coaches were In

ANTI-BLhCKLiSI LAW vALIu
ST. Paul Police Judge Fines Hill Rail

st. Paul. Dec 20.-Judge Finehout,
in the police court, upheld the validity
of the so called 'anti-blacklist law" in
the cases brought by Thomas Van
Lear in the name of the state against
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific railways.
The judge held both companies
guilty of violating the law and I'M
posed a fine of $50 against each
which was paid under protest for the
purpose of taking appeals to the su-
preme court.
The law prohibits any person from
requiring personal record for a
period longer than one year from any
applicant for employment. 1t was tes-
titled that the defendants asked such
a record for period of ten years.
