from ev ery point alon the two systems from loyal unionists stating that everything here to a man bad gone out and that a complete tie up was effected on the other hand an equal number of telegrams were being sent to heads of unions at various points instructing them to set picket lines there is nothing to say now except that we have a full fledged strike on and that so tar as our reports go every man Is out on both lines said mr perham today 1 I ordered this strike after we tried all other ways ot settling our grievances against the railroad and after they bad locked outpour men because they would not sign impossible agreements another thing that made me call this strike was the statement of the general manager of the great northern that 80 per cent of the men remained loyal to the road that and he tact that about nonunion non union men were on their way from kansas city to fill the vacancies 0 the northern pacific caused me to show them that they were wrong in their estimate as to the number of loyal men well all our men are out and our advises advices are that the le up as complete the roads are not running any freight tralis they may be running passenger trains on time and I 1 hope they will do so as I 1 do not want to interrupt the travelers when asked on what basis he would be willing to call off the strike the strike leader would only say wo are in a peaceful and amicably ami cabla mood and will be reasonable if JL hill will talk business and meet my proposition fairly we will accept we have now men out on the great northern road andi 1100 on the north erni
