Railway men who will discuss
the strike situation say the North
ern Pacific is in bad way for
switchmen, and the losses to the
company are SO great as to be un-
believable. The wrecking of freight
cars and cabooses goes on daily, on
account of lack of knowledge of the
strikebreakers of proper signals to
the engine crews. When cars are
smashed up they are removed and
others substituted. The engine
crews are SO used to smashing up
cars now that they accept the situ-
alton as matter of course.

gross increase charged in any city
