swlTcHMEN STRIKE
Receives Encouragement by Pro
misses Of Aid From American
Federation. Coal Famine
in Twin Cities.

Up to this writing the striking
switchmen have made no arbitration
overtures to the railroads and the
railroads have made no advances and
will not consent to arbitration. This
is the situation in spite of reports to
the effect that the strike may be arbi-
trated soon, according to the railroad
officials. The railroad traffic is tied
up to certain extend. The switch
men deny the story that 30 st. Paul
strikers contemplate returning to work
this week.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor is in
the Twin Cities and has assured the
striking switchmen of the Northwest
that the Federation will stand by chem
morally and financially while news
from Duluth indicates that the strike
is as effective as it was before the
roads had been able to carry out any
program for breaking it. Shipments
which left St. Paul ten days ago have
not yot arrived in Duluth when the
usual time is few hours. This re-.
lates to perishable freight. Other
freight is delayed in like proportion.
The situation in the Twin Cities is
not very encouraging. The coal sup
ply for the retail trade is practically
exhausted, that is to say, coal will
not be sold to private individuals and
whatever amount is on hand will be
sold to factories and the big concerns
only. A private communication to
the Review from Minneapolis denies
emphatically the statements by, the
railroads that they are overcoming
strike conditions and gives the num-
Der of accidents caused by the rail-
roads using inexperienced men as be-
ing Is killed and seriously injured.
The price on meats has gone up 5
