swlTcHMENs' STATEMENT

Conditions in Fargo, and as far
as we can learn Ill over the strike
territory, has been little changed
with the exception of bringing i'm
strike breakers. This move on the
part OF the railroads pleases us
and we will take no steps in re-
gard to 1T. We are confident that
the railroads will soon find that
they cannot fill the places Of
skilled men with green men and
we believe conditions will be put
into worse shape by their efforts.
Talk Of violence on our part is
absurd we went out OF the en-
ployment Of the companies, and If
they can get along without us we
will make well and good, but we
are confident they cannot, and we
look for settlement AT our
meeting last night we decided to
remain out. The union has plenty
in the treasury to keep the striking
switchmen during the winter

Principals of Fistic Encounter Shake
Hands in Police Court This
Morning.

Sigurd Anderson and Martin John
son were enemies last night, but they
had been drinking and this morning
they were friends, despite the fact that
Johnson presented a badly battered
face at a result of a fistic encounter.
The men mixed at the N. p. depot last
evening and were arrested by cfficer
Costello. This morning they applied to
the court for a discharge. desiring to

With the importation of the strike
breakers on the Northern Pacific and
the, employment of men to take the
place of those on the Great North
ern, local conditions have been a little
improved. Still the embargo has not
been removed from perishabie freight
and live stock and neither OF these
roads are taking this class of ship
ments. This, it is said, is due par
TALLY to the cold weather.
The strikers claim that conditions
as a whole are little improved al
though there is more switching being
done than at any time during the
strike. They are still holding out and
are confident that the Importation of
strike breakers will IL anything, has

if necessary.
Much Switching Being Done.
Last night at 10 o'clock switch en-
CINE and crew was put in the Fargo
yards and this one was relieved this
morning by another crew. 1T has been
working steadily doing what switch
ing is necessary. About noon today
AT engine and crew were put into the
Moorhead yard and two are working in
the Dilworth yards of the Northern
Pacific one making up east and an
other west bound freight.
Trains are still moving rather slow
ly. Two west and three eastbound
freight trains have been sent out on
the Northern Pacific during the past
twenty-four hours, Locally things are
kept moving but the trouble seems to
be in the larger yards and transfer
centers of the east and west
The strikers are putting their trust
largely in these large yards for win
ming a victory. The work in the larg-
er yards is very intricate and they say
it will take some time for even expert
enced railroad men in other places to
become acquainted with the large
transfer points to such q degree that
business can be resumed with any de-
gree of regularity.
Shipments Moving Slowly.
While the railroads state that they
are receiving all shipments with the
exception of perishable freight and
livestock, the local shippers state that
while they have made a number of
consignments since the embargo was
raised these seem to be going out very
slowly and that things are far from
satisfactory condition.
However there is no doubt but that
the local conditions are much improved
with the prospects of becoming more
so as the days pass should nothing
else come up to aggravate the condi-
ton.
Some Coal for Fargo.
Supt. ]. e. Craver OF the Northern
Pacific stated this morning that he had
several cars of coal for some of the
Fargo industries in the Dilworth yards
and that these would be placed for I'M.
loading in q short time, probably be-
fore evening.
| This will be practically the only con-
signments of fuel that have been re-
ceived in Fargo since Nov. 80.
Guards on All Engines.
All the local, Moorhead and Dilworth
switch engines which are manned by
switching crews composed of the new
men imported from ST. Paul yesterday
each have guard but there has been
nothing for this man to do.
Most of the thirty guards received
were put at watch over the Dilworth
car shops as there is little reason to
fear violence Of any kind from the To-
cal striking switchmen. This is done
largely to prevent outside parties from
committing depredations and then lay
ing the blame to the strikers.
Superintendent Craver stated that he
has perfect confidence in the switch
men who struck and does not in the
least fear that they will trouble COM
pany property or employees. The strik-
ers are remaining very quiet, no dem
onstrations taking place, nor even dur
ing their meetings which are held in
the hall above the Cream restaurant
on Front street. They hold meetings
at regular intervals and discuss the
situation in a quiet and gentlemanly
manner. For this they have won a LOT
of sympathy, which otherwise would
have not been given.
