Estimated That 1890 Men Have
Quit Their Work.
ON THIRTEEN ROADS.
Strikers Delay Traffic on All
Grain Hauling Systems.
None of the Railroads Affected
in Topeka.

ST. Paul, Dec. Both sides in the
controversy between the railroads OF
the northwest and the Switchmen's
union of North America. which re-
suited in a walk out of the switchmer
between here and the Pacific coast
last night, claimed to have the situa-
tion well in hand this morning. Pas
senger traffic was maintained in the
twin cities last night and this morn
ing, though with considerable delay
but very little freight was handled
anywhere between the Great Lakes
and the Pacific coast.
The switchmen are firm in their
crease of 6 cents an hour in wages
with double time for overtime, Sun
days and holidays, together with, 9TH
er concessions, while the railroads
claim that things will adjust them
selves to their normal conditions
within few days despite the walk
out.
While some new men have been
employed at passenger stations, so
far as could be learned early this
morning no attempt had been made
to bring in strike breakers, the rail-
roads claiming there are enough old
men left, together with others that
can be pressed into service, to do the
work.
Freight Trains at Standstin.
No freight was handled out of st.
Paul last night or this morning and
only one train left Minneapolis, that
soon after the strike was declared.
Railroad officials, train dispatchers
and members of the train crews did
the switching in the Twin city yards.
The freight handlers at the Mime
sofa Transfer, the freight gateway of
the northwest, following instructions.
did not report for work this morning.
All freight trains at Duluth and
Superior were at a standstil1 this
morning. It is said that should the
strike last, fully 10000 men will be
thrown out of work at the head of
the lakes.
The strike order was generally fol-
lowed between here and the Pacific
coast and where traffic was not en-
tirely tied up it was seriously delayed
In most places freight trains were
sidetracked as at Missoula, Great
Fargo. Mandan, Jamestown and
Havre, and agents refused to accept
freight for shipment.
At some points in Montana. as al
Billings and Helena, all the switch
men did not strike, some of them be-
way Trainmen. Reports from Wal
lace, Butte, Forsythe and Paradise
are that the men refused to strike and
that freight is being handled.
1t was reported here this morn
ing that the members Of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen would also
strike today, but this could not be
confirmed.
Quiet at Duluth.
Duluth, Mimi, Dec. 1.-Only two
switch engines are working today al
the head of the lakes and the tie uI
of traffic resulting from the strike OF
the switchmen is practically complete
If the situation is not quickly
remedied 10000 men will be out Of
work here within 4S hours.

Symptoms Today.

Is reported today as improved over
what it was yesterday. The pulse 10
stronger and the beat is now 27 and
28 instead of &c as reported Tuesday.
There are other encouraging symp-
* ms.
improvement shown is regarded as
encouraging by his relatives and physi-
clans. The continued use of powerful
stimu1ants seem to have resulted in
rlightly increased heart action. At 2
O'Clock his condition was regarded as
slightly improved.
