ENED-FREIGHT TRAFFIC
AT sTANDsTILL

st. Paul. Mimi. Dec. 2.--The rail-
roads affected by the switchmen's
strike were working hard today to
restore normal traffic conditions be.
tween the Great Lakes and the Pa.
cific coast. The local warehouses were
opened today and the roads accepted
limited freight shipments. There was,
however, no noticeable improvement
in conditions in the Twin Cities this
morning. In Minneapolis all the big
flour mills were shut down, throwing
five thousand men out of employment.
At the head Of the lakes. at Duluth
and Superior, unless conditions i'm.
prove Immediately. all the range cit
les will be in danger of food and
coal famine The jobbing houses OF
Duluth have already begun laying off
men.
In Montana, conditions are even
worse. The big Boston and, Montana
smelter at Great Falls is practically
closed, and as this smelter takes the
ores of the Amalgamated properties
at Butte, those mines will also be af-
fected, throwing thousands out of EN-
pioyment.
Pickets of the striking switchmen
reported today that about one hun
dred strike-breakers had been brought
into st. Paul and distributed about
the various Twin City yards. The rail-
roads would not admit that any strike
breakers had been brought in.
All freight shipments were practic-
ally tied up although an attempt is
being made to move through trains
on the Northern Pacific. These tranis
were made up by assistant trainmas-
ters and superintendents. The Great
Northern steamer Minnesota arrived
at Tacoma, Wash, last night with
$4,000 tons of freight, much Of it des-
tined for quick transportation, but it
cannot be taken care of.

MARINES

Washington, Dec 2.-The first step
of the United States toward backing
up the declaration of Secretary OF
State Knox regarding the Nicaraguan
situation, was taken today when the
secretary of the navy sent urgent or
ders to the commanders of the cruiser
Albany, and the, gunboat Yorktown,
now at Magdalena bay. Lower Califor-
mia, to proceeded forthwith to Corinto
the Pacific coast port Of Nicaragua
The troop ship rrairie, with about
seven hundred marines aboard for
Panama and possibly for service In
Nicaragua, received orders to sail
from Philadelphia this afternoon.
The ultimatum given last night by
the United States to the zelaya gov
ernment, in a note which was accom-.
panied by the passports of delivery
for Felipe Rodriguez, charge d. affairs |
Of the Nicaraguan legation here, has
caused great rejoicing among the sym
pathizers of the Nicaraguan insurrec-
tionists. The strength of the note and
its personal tone are subjects of com
ment in diplomatic circles 1t is gen
orally recognized that the United
States has decided the time has come
to put an end to further attacks on
American life and interests in Cen
tral America. The fact that President
Zelaya is apparently to be held per-
sonally responsible for the shooting
of Groce and Cannon, adds a sting to
the ultimatum. Concealed in the
vigorous note to Zelaya, another is
sent as warning to Central Ameri-
can republics that they must behave
and that the United States intends
to see that the family of western re-
publics live harmoniously. The Knox
document is one Of the mos. scathing
issued from the state department in
many years.
s The newspapermen who visited the
Nicaraguan legation last night were
not permitted to doubt that Secretary
Knoxs ultimatum had fallen upon the
complacency of Senior Rodriguez with
profound effect. Senior Rodriguez, in
person, met the visitors at the door
and his protestations of amazement
at the action of the state department
were delivered in mingled English and
Spanish.
