St. Paul, Dec. 6.-Information
tonight is that there are more.
switchman in Chicago available,
for the Northwest than are re-
quired to 6ll the places Of all the,
switchmen who are out on the
Northwestern roads. Instructions
were given to all Of the large cen--
ters where these men were being
employed to discontinue at once,
and it was found prior to the is.
suance of such orders, that $50 ad-
ditional switchmen were already
on their way to Chicago, which
will leave q large surplus beyond
any requirements. Quite . num-
Der of men at several points on
our line returned to work today,
and indications are, from advice
of our superintendent, where men
are out, that they will likely be
back to work before men we are
sending out today for western
points can reach their destination.
Governor Eberhart will appoint
state board Vi arbitration nDdeF
an old act, of which w. H. GOet-
Finger of St, Paul probably will
be one of three members, second
to be recommended by employers
and the third to be appointed after
q consultation with these two. The
governor is taking no part in the
struggle, but his tender of friend
~ Offices is open.
Vice President Whitney of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trsinmen
denounces the strike as having
been called illegally, without con-
stitutional vote.
Railroad officials assert that
sixty switch engines are working
in all principal yards and SO per
cent of freight is moving; this the
strikers deny on reports from
their pickets.
The public affairs committee
members of the Commercial club
roundly scored the mayor of ST.
Paul for acting as strikers coun-
sci while holding what should be
an office on neutral ground, for
the whole people.
Two hundred additional strike
breakers arrived, all said to be real
switchmen, who will be distributed
to clear the yards.
Superintendent NJ. j. DoOley of
the Minnesota Transfer reports
absolute respect for company
property and law-abiding, quiet,

the orderliness of the strikers is .
matter of comment.

Lee Opposes Postponement.

Chairman Lee, of the railroad com
mission, has received letters from men
interested in the proposed cotton rate
reduction scheme, from the point of view
of the carrier, in which it is suggested
that, as there are a number of traffic
men still on their vacations, and will be
until after the date for the next meet
ing of the commission, and as they are
very anxious to be on hand when the
matter comes up, action be postponed
until the following meeting. Chairman
Lee intmates that he would like to be
accommodating to every one, but as the
matter has been postponed twice before,
and the railroad men have had ample
time to inform themselves on the sub
ject, he is not willing to defer it any
longer.
