SWlTCHMEN'S STRIKE
AT SEATTLE CAUSES
LESS INCONVENIENCE

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 3.-The
switchmen's strike caused much less
Inconvenience today to the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail-
roads than formerly.
A. The freight blockade is being broken
and operating officials say normal
conditions will be restored in four or
five days even if the strike is not de-
clared off.
The Northern Pacific employed tif-
teen new men today and has now 4
force of fifty, of whom many are un-
dergoing instructions. No more stu
dents are being engaged.
The Northern Pacific received and
cared for three stock trains and two
trains of perishable goods from the
east, beside sending and receiving To-
cal freight.
The Great Northern dispatched two
trains to st. Paul. Perishable freight
in limited amount is being received,
and dead freight is still accepted sub
ject to delay
The action of the trainmen's brother
hood in ordering its members who are
switchmen to return to work in the
passenger terminal yards was not un-
expected 1t was taken on the advice
of the national officers. Members of
all the unions not involved in the
strike have given the railroads every
assistance asked for in the movement
Of trains.

Dor awaiting his orders.
The Peru left Corinto November IL
and the gunboat was then in the har-
Dor with steam up every day and fresh
fuel supplies being placed aboard as
fast as the coal was used. The liner
passengers were told that the vessel
was held in readiness at the command
of Zelaya and was subject only to his
personal orders.
News of the execution of Groce ana
Cannon did not reach the Peru's pas
sengers until they arrived at Mex
ican port. During the stay in Corin-
to they heard little of the progress OF
the revolution, although the city was
full of ragged soldiery, conscripts OF
the Nicaraguan army.
The passengers We're not allowed
ashore except with passports obtained
by the American consul.
It was reported that the Nicaraguan
government was attempting to enlist
