LITTLE DANGER OF
UNIVERSAL STRIKE
j. J. Hill Says That Switchmen's
Strike Failed in Three
Days.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 1s.-In dis
cussing general railroad conditions of
the country yesterday James j. Hill
of the Great Northern contended that
with the advance in cost of all ma
terials required for construction and
maintenance of railroads, the large rail
road systems of the country arc having
trouble to make ends meet.
engineers and trainmen, said Mr..
Hill, when asked concerning the aglta-
ton in the cast for general strike
among railways employees, fare among
the best paid laborcrs 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 pos
sibility of a general strike among these
men is altogether remote and, IN fact,
not considered seriously by tho men
themselves.
fTbe 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 organiZa-
ton which ordered the walk out hoped
to be successful and in that way attract
to its membership all switchmen en-
nloyed on the other railroad systems
and who are affiliated with the Order OF
Railway Trainmen, but it required only
three DAYS TO place this strike where II
failed to prove troublesome TO the rall-
roads. AS result the strike exists IN
name only -
