STRIKE III
Striken Fear Plae is Mads
to Delay a Settlemeat
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Aug. 18.—The fight be
tween the railroad companies and
striking union employes Is on in dead1
earnest today. Thousands have obeyed
the strike order other thousands have
continued to work. The companies
are operating their principal trains
under modified schedules. The gov
ernment and the board of trade are
continuing their eforts toward peace,
but the old deadlock between the
managers and the unions appears to
have reasserted Itself today. The
managers had. a prolonged meeting
with the members of the board of
trade, but as far as could be learned
the railroad .companies declined to
budge from their stand of making no
further concessions beyond submitting
dispute to royal commission suggested
by the government. The chief cities
of England are armed camps. The
stations, workshops, signal posts, tun
nels and bridges are guarded by sol
diers. Clerks fiave been pressed into
service to aid non-strikers in moving
trains. Despite the efforts of the com
panies, freight is demoralized and a
shortage of food supplies threatens
famine at some points. The govern
ment views the industrial war as so
grave that parliament did not adjourn
as had been expected today, but will
continue, prepared to adopt any
emergency legislation the moment it
is necessary.
Thousands of people living outside
were unable to ?et home. A large
number of bluejackets from the war
ships at Portsmouth were ordered to
stand by with a view to the possibil
ity of having to replace garrison
troops which have been ordered into
the strike area.
LONDON, Aug. 18—Officials of the
union and railroad managers were in
session at Unity hall considering the
government's suggestion for the ap
pointment of a royal commission
which should investigate and report
what amendments, if any, should be
made to the conciliation agreement
now existing between owners and em
ployers.
When the suggestion of a royal
commission was made by Premier As
quith yesterday it was accepted by
the managers but rejected by the men
who seemed to feel that such arrange
ments would mean a long delay in
the adjustment of their grievances.
The chancellor explained that the
men had misunderstood the premier's
proposal. It was he said to give them
fair play and "not to lure out of their
hands the great weapon of striking.
The plan was to appoint a committee
of three, one from the strikers, and
one from the railroads and a third
man well known for his impartiality.
PRESIDENT TAFT TO
VETO FREE LIST
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18—President
Taft's third important veto message
of the special session disapproving
the fanners free list bill will bejsent
to the house this afternoon. The bill
reached the White House shortly after
ten o'clock today and the president
immediately set to work on a mes
sage, material for which he has been
collecting for weeks. The message,
it is said, will be short.

CAN'T BE FOUND
NECHE, N. D., Aug| 17.—William
Marshall, a wealthy farmer who lived
east of Neche, is missing from home.
Marshall has been suffering from can
cer and last week made his will and
is said to have remarked': I do not
see what they want to keep an old
man like me alive for."
When he did not return home Mon
day evening the neighbors were noti
fied and Tuesday searching parties
scoured the woods, but no trace of
him was found. Marshall was very
weak and it is feared he laid down
in some secluded spot and died.

CONSTRUCTION WORK
DEGINS AT EDGELY
EDGELY, Aug. 18.—H. H. Herning,
construction engineer in charge of the
ironing of the Midland Continental
railroad grades has established his
headquarters at^Edgetey. Steel and
ties are on the ground and a large
gang of men are work laying con
struction tracks from the Milwaukee
and Northern Pacific lines where ma
terial cars may be sided. There is
every promise that trains will be run
ning between Edgeley and Jamestown
before snow flies and that a direct
route will be opened to Winnipeg
within a year. The general opinion
is that the new line is to form a part
of the Milwaukee system.
A year ago a grade was built from
Edgeley to Jamestown and extended
northeast through Courtenay and
Cooperstown, along a survey through
Aneta, Park River and Pembina to
Winnipeg.
After grading, no further moves to
ward finishing the line were made
until a few days ago when construc
tion crews came to Edgeley and com
menced work upon switches from the
Milwaukee and Northern Pacific lines
which are to be used for the purpose
of side tracking can of materials.
From Jamestown reports come that
the same things have been done at
that place and that work has been
reopened upon the unfinished grade
to the northeast of that town.

VASHTI, N. D., Aug. 18—The rail

seven miles west of this place. The
community is much gratified with the
passing trains even if they are work
