BIG STRIKE
IS AVERTED
Great Northern Compro
mises With Its
Trainmen
AND TROUBLE ENDS
Lompany Yields on
Most Points in the
Controversy.
St. rani, May 13. All danger of a
strike on the (Jreat Northern railway
system has passed, and an amicable
agreement between the company and
its trainmen has been reached, the
schedules having been signed. Each
side made concessions, although upon
the face of the terms of compromise
as stated by A. B. Garretson, the as
sistant grand conductor of the Order
of Itailway Conductors, who, with
Newman, of the Brotherhood of Kail
way Trainmen, has conducted the nego
tiations, the men have somewhat the
better of it.
Point, from the Mew Schedule.
They are granted an increase in
wages which averages 13 ier cent.;
the yardmen get the Chicago scale,
which is 3 cents an hour higher than
the St. Paul scale; new men are given
increased wages after one year's serv
ice, instead of five as proposed by the
company, and uinrn the double-header
question, which was the cause of the
deadlock in the negotiations, the men
modified their demands to a slight de
gree. East of Minot, according to the
agreement, the road may run one-half
of 1 per cent, of the gross' mileage as
double-headers. On the mountain di
visions, west of Minot, 2.3 per cent, of
the gross mileage is allowed to be
double-header. But in computing the
percentage of double-headers helier en
gines must be included.
If here the Men Made a Conception.
Ward, the general manager of the
road, in his offer to the men In reply
to their demands for a complete aboli
tion of the system of double-heading,
proposed to confine it to 3 per cent, of
the gross mileage, which Is about the
present percentage upon this road. He,
liowever, reserved the right to double
head on any partof the system. This of
fer the men rejected, and a complete
deadlock in the negotiations ensued,
and a strike seemed inevitable. But
Ward finally receded from this propo
sition and agreed to district the road
and confine the bulk of the two-engine
trains to the mountain divisions. Then
the men receded from the demand for
the complete abolition of the system.
VIOLENCE PLENTY "AT OMAHA
Men Pulled Off Wagon and Beaten Con -tenU
of Wagon. Spilled.
Omaha, May 15. 1. I. Maddok,
a driver for a delivery company, was
found under the Tenth street viaduct
in an uncous'cious condition. "When
restored he said that he had been
knocked from his wagon. Over his eye
was a deep gash and his face was
badly bruised. The entire police force
was called on for extra duty, and
additional deputies were put in charge
of the chief of police. A small riot
occurred at Seventeenth and Chicago
streets late in the afternoon, when a
driver was pulled from his wagon,
thrown to the ground and badly beat
en: The crowd had dispersed when the
police arrived.
Another driver, protected ly a depu
ty, was ta"ken from his wagon, and
the deputy did not attempt to protect
liim. In several instances drivers were
stopped, their teams unhitched, and the
contents of wagons strewn on the
streets, and in one case nearly de
stroyed. It is reported also that several
drivers abandoned their wagons with
out cause, leaving the teams hitched
to telegraph poles or standing in the
streets.
Chief of PoMce Donahue "has ordered
that persons arrested for rioting shall
not be released on bond until after
their hearing. Chief Donahue says a
meetingof teamsters was held Wednes
day night at which it was decided to
adopt "forcible measures," if neces
sary. This, President Crews, of the
teamsters' union, denies absolutely,
and says union men have been warned
that they will not receive protection
.when arrested for violence. The situa
tion" seenis to be more strained than
at any time since.
Later in the day four strikers who
were pointed out tq the police as hav
ing been concerned in disturbances
were arrested. They were locked up.
Sheriff Power yesterday appointed
twenty additional deputies and turned
them over to the chief of police. .

PARRY OPPOSED TO
EVEN ARBITRATION
Seenis to Think It Always a Cora
promise "With Strik
ers. Buffalo, May 13. Among the
speakers at the meeting of piano man
ufacturers here was D. M. Parry, pres
ident of the National Manufacture's
association. He condemned concilia
tion as now can led out as unjust, be
cause it simply meant taking the de
mands of the union and scaling them
down one-half. "Any one who objects
to such arbitration, we are told, is
against the golden rule," said Parry.
!LliiL .remarkable the number of men
who are advertising themselves as
humble followers of the golden rule.
It seems to have become qiite an ex
cellent phrase with which to boost
one's self into public affairs.
"If conciliatory arbitration must
come, as the noted senator says, then
I should like to know if it will be per
mitted for the employers to make de
mands and have them arbitrated. It is
a poor rule that don't work both ways.
The conciliatory arbitration and so
called humanitarian policy Is radical
ly wrong in principle, and must inevit
ably result in great Injustice as be
tween classes of workmen and also in
serious injury to the Industries of the
country."

AFTER MISCREANT
Man Who Prepared the Inferna
Machine for the Umbria
Was at Chicago.
MADE HIS MACHINE AT THAT CITY
Seen by Many Persons, Who Describe
tbe Man the Police Are
Searching For.
Chicago, May 15. The infernal ma
chine found on the pier of the steam
ship Umbria, just before the ship
sailed from New York, was made in
Chicago. The police now have no doubt
that the deadly contrivance was con
structed at l'S7 Washington boulevard
by a man who was known as G. ltus
sell. That "Russell" was in reality
Rosseau seems to be certain, and Itos
seau is the supposed name of the man
wlio made the machine and had it put
on the Cunard dock. Inspector (leorge
McClusky, chief of detectives of New
York, and Detective Sergeants Carey
and Fuuston, of that city, came to
Chicago to investigate the doings of
Russell, or Rosseau.
Trunk Was Bought at Chicago.
McClusky left again for New York
shortly after his arrival, his associates
remaining. They were in conference
with Lieutenant Rohan for an hour.
Inspector McClusky said there was no
doubt that Russell was the man want
ed. Detectives Carey and Fuuston do
not believe the plot was Latched in
this city, even though the mac hine was
made here. The trunk which Is be
lieved to have carried the infernal ma
chine to New York Mas purchased by
Russell April of the American Stor
age and Van company. 1M West Madi
son street. S. E. l'.arr was the sales
man who disposed of the trunk and
ordered it sent to US" Washington
boulevard.
Known to Have Worked on Mechanlam.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ehlen occupy
the lower rf.it at the house on Wash
ington boulevard, and they rented a
room to Russell on April V.K lie re
mained at the place until April "5
engaged in working on some piece of
mechanism, which he said was a patent
gambling affair he had invented. Aft
er his departure Mrs. Ehlen found
bits of the device in tlie room. Among
them were pints of a clock, the ends
of several wooden slats, and a car
tridge shell. These articles were m a
box marked '"One blast," or words to
that effect. Mrs. Ehlen does not re
member the exact inscription. She used
the box and the bits of wood for kin
dling.
HE II AI A GOOD DEAL OF HELP
All Thoie Who Worked for Him Describe
the 8uspected Han.
A number of machinists and carpen
ters made portions of the device for
Russell, and if the thing really was
the Infernal machine it is probable
that Russell had so many different per
sons work at it in order to excite no
curiosity. Mrs. Ehlen and the men
who worked on the pieces of machinery
give descriptions of Russell that tally
with the New York police description
of Rosseau. J. W. Elsenberg, 5i Mor
gan street, assisted in making four
small iron plates for Russell. J. W
Seymour, a carpenter across the street
from 2S7 Washington boulevard.
planed down a number of slats about
twenty inches long and an inch wide
for the man.
John Clarke, a machinist at 52 Mor
gan street, manufactured an iron cone
with an Inch base for Russell, with a
disc to it. Russell said it was for a
g.imblingdevice. Later he ordered three
additional Iron pieces, but never called
for the last order. Mrs. Ehlen says
her roomer usually worked all day on
the thing, and went out in the evening,
returning about 10 o'clock, and often
worked until after midnight. He re
ceived no mail and had no callers. Mrs.
Ehlen says he looked something like
a farmer, yet she noticed some pecu
liarity about him that made her think
he was what she calls a "genius of
some sort."
When he first went to the house he
had only a small sachel. The landlady
thinks he must have brought his infer
nal machine box to the house in the
night. When the trunk came Russell
threw away the tray and Mrs. Ehlem
burned it up. Although very uncom
municative Russell told Mrs. Ehlen
one day that the gambling device was
"a hummer." The only places in Chi
cago where the man gave his name
were at the store where he bought the
trunk, and at the Parmelee express
office, when he ordered the trunk
taken to the depot.
