The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1911-11-18

said was done for the purpose Of hav-
ing those men whose work kept them
in the shops over there near their work
so that they would be within easy
reach in case Of any emergency.
The idea is to have the men live
near their work. except those men
whose work requires them to reside in
Fargo. We felt that in this way we
could meet all the requirements Of
the service
II have been asked to extend the
time of running these shop trains, but
as came UP to Fargo today on am
other errand and was only notified Of
this meeting and your request few
moments ago, would like to beg your
indulgence by being allowed little
time to take the matter under con-
sideration before making any decision.
We gave our employees notice year
ago about the discrimination of these
shop trains and so gave them ample
opportunity TO place themselves in
Dilworth.
Assures Cooperation.
But assure you that this matter
will be given every consideration,
though shah make no decision today
and would like to lay the matter be-
fore. the other officials OF the road. T
| am quite anxious to see this new line
to Dilworth go through and realize
that the street railway can make much
better connections beween Fargo,
Moorhead and Dilworth than the rail-
road.
And want to assure you that we
will turn over to our new competitors
all the business that they may get.
This will be far from disagreeable
| feature to us and we shall be found
ready to cooperate with the street
railway line az any time, and in any
event. Had we been given any prev
ious notice about this case, could have
been better prepared to give you
something definite upon ii at this time
AS 1t is / should like the privilege
Of comforting with the other officials
of the road before making any decisive
answer
Formal Request Made.
President Hardy then stated that he
would like to hear a motion made az
that time to make formal request to
the Northern Pacific railroad In the
hearing of Mr.. Slade SO that he could
be better prepared to tell the other
officials OF the road about 1t at the time
