ftCB PRESIDENT BO WARD, of
the Amuricaii Railway Men's
union, arrived in this citv today
and told tho Associated lJress
representative that tha strike on the
t treat Northern would not. be extended
to this end of the line for a day or two.
Lsst night's train went only as far as
Crookatoo, and the road from Grand
Koi ke west is reported tied up com
pletely. The triangular nature o( the
contest is exciting much boumenl
among both railway officials and
strikers.
It is considered somewhat in tin na
ture of a tight for existence on tUO jnrt
of the brotherhoods: for if defeated
and comp-dled to join the American
Railway union, the present members
of that nnion, having a large majority,
would control its affairs, and engi
neers, Bremen, conductors and train
men or the brotherhood would have to
submit to the greater voting power of
tile lower paid employes.
A local leader in Hie union said to
day that when the first cut was mad,-
last ran their organisation was too
weak to fight, but now tney bate ')
per cent, of the men in their memher
snip, and will fight the cut.
President Hill and Qeneral Manager
Case were todey in coaference with
the local chiefs of the Brotherhoods ol
Eugineers and Firemen. Mr. Case
stated that as far as (iraud Forks ev
erything is running us usual, but be
yond that point he was entirely with
out informstiou. When askel regard
ing th staiement of the Amric4n
Ruilvvay union leader at Brattle, that a
hearing had be-m refused by the com
pany, the officials turned the questions
over lo tho brotherhood leaders, who
said they could not speak for any one
but themselves, lint that they had al
ways been promptly received.
Chicaoo, April " Hi A local paper
says tnis morning that it is now settle I
that within the next week or ten days
strikes will he declared on several
northwestern roads running out of Chi
cago. Arrangements are about com
pleted for the inauguration of list
gle with Paeifla coast lines, which is
expected to result in tbe settlement for
some time to coins of the di Hereout
existing.
The contest will DS the more inter
esting in that it will involve all the ex
isting brotherhoods after the manner
of n three-cornered nght, in which the
older organizations wiil seek to aunilii
l.ite the American It.ilway union.
Bkattlb, April 10. Despite the state
ments of the officials that the strike on
the Gret Northern docs not extend
further east than Miuot, N D., tin
leaders here say that the claims of
James llogan that the whole system is
lied np are correct. Rntnors are afloat
that the Northern Pauiflo is to be tied
up on Tuesday mid that before next
week every road west of the Missouri
river, with the possible eXOepliou of
the Union Pacific, will meet th same
fat-.
The mail car of the Booth West
minster and Van Coiiver train was
brought out this morning to leave at
!l 11, but the officials refused to let it
go without tho paasengw cars, and it
was left on the trarK.
The strikers then Jook out the Cana
