BUSINESS MEN DISCUSS TRAINMEN'S TROUBLE
BUSINESS MAN'S POINT OF VIEW.
"I want to say that the railroad men
are mistaken, as to the business men
being entirely on the side of the em
ployers and the corporations. . 7, don't
think that is the way the average
business man takes up a proposition.
He realizes fully that thare are two
sides to such a question, and that the
employer, whether an individual, firm
or corporation is possibly in the wrong.
I know that I speak the sentiment of
a majority of business men, and I wish
that our friends among the so-called
laboring men, for we are all laborers,
would understand it. I am myself a
• laborer just as much as any 1 man in
this room, and he may be doing his
duty just as I am. Now this question
of labor without any doubt, has two
sides. The business man is concernsdin
it so far as his pecuniary interests are
involved, because his business will be
interfered with by the stoppage of
traffic. Every business man in the
Twin Cities, clear to the Atlantic coast,
will be effected by it. We suffer to
gether.— A. Kirk in a speech before
th \nference committee.
BUSINESS MEN

Danger Point Is Passed and Threatened Strike
Is Averted for the Day Jobbers Discuss the
Situation With the Leaders of the Trainmen
Amicable Arrangement Will Probably Be
Effected Today.
There is likely to be a settlement of
the Great Northern's labor controversy
today.
The conference among the St. Paul
and Minneapolis jobbers, the train
men's committee and General Manager
F. E. Ward will be continued this
morning, and there is a probability
that an agreement will be reached,
settling the trouble in an amicable
manner.
One thing is certain, today's meet
ing will decide finally what action
the men and the company are going to
pursue.
For ' six long hours yesterday the
Twin City jobbers did their utmost in
an attempt to bring about an adjust
ment of the difficulty, without having
the men resort to drastic measures. At
times it looked as if their efforts were
In vain, but patience and diplomacy
triumphed, and the session closed at
6:15 o'clock last evening, with hopes
far brighter for a peaceful settlement
than they had been at any time since
the negotiations were suspended Tues
fiay afternoon.
On what ground the proposed set
tlement is to be effected, none of the
parlies interested would say last even
ing. They preferred to await today's
action before making any statement.
General Manager Ward, A. B. Garret
son, W. T. Newmann and J. W. Cooper
all declined to be interviewed* They
were giving no information regarding
the progress of the negotiations.
Two Sessions Held.
Yesterday's conference was held in
two sessions. It opened at 10 o'clock
