Fifth, Sixth and Wash ington Streets BUSINESS IS PARALYZED TpndcrQ..Go.od Offices In Any Way to Settle Telegraphers' Strike. ,-Acts at Urgent Request of Commercial Bodies. 8T. PAUL., Aug. 9. The first definite Btep looking- toward arbitration of the struggle which has been In progress for over a week between the Great Northern and Norther Pacific railways and the Or der of Railway Telegraphers was taken today, when Governor John A. Johnson addressed letters to Presidents J. J. Hill nnd Howard Elliott, of the railways, and President H. B. Perham. of the tele graphers, urging a settlement of the trouble and offering his services as medi ator. The exact terniB of the letters are not .known, as the Governor preferred Jhat they should be given out by the recipients If they saw fit. In a general way, how ever, the Governor outlined to the Asso ciated Press what was contained In the letters. He called the officials' attention to the fact that the present strike was working a hardship in various communities throughout the State, and appealed to them to take speedy steps to secure an adjustment of the existing troubles. To this end, he tendered the good offices of the chief executive, saying that he stood ready to appoint a commission to con cider the differences between the con tending parties, or in any other way to .Assist them to come to some agreement that -would permit the roads to move their traffic without the delays and Inconveni ences that are now said to exist. The Governor was prompted to take this action by numerous letters he has receiv ed from commercial organizations and cit izens of the State urging him to take nome measure to end the struggle. The Governor stated that some of the letters he had received declared that business in sections of the State was almost para lyzed by the conditions which now pre vail. . Both Mr. Hill and Mr. Elliott are now in the East, although the former is ex pected to reach St. Paul some time this week. President Perham, of the Order of Tel egraphers, has stated on several occa sions that he Is willing to submit his case to any fair-minded tribunal. There were no other developments in the situation today. Both sides are still claiming that conditions arc Improving from their standpoint with each pacBlng day. CALLS STRIKERS PLOTTERS. Hill Says None of Them Will Ever Be Employed Again. NEW YORK, Aug. 9. James J. Hill set at rest -today the. reports said to have been spread among the striking telegraphers of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific roads, that he, would Intervene In their behalf; In the contention with th,e operating officials of' the roads. Mr. Hill said, In regard to the case of thp strikers,, that the men had been dismissed because they would not obey orders. . "Men," continued Mr. Hill, "who "will plot to embroil a railroad and Its em ployes Just at the beginning of a sea son when they know a heavy move ment of traffic Is expected, as at pres ent, with the approach of crop move ments, do not deserve to be on the pay rolls of any road. They are positions of trust, and the plotters are not fit to hold them. I -will see to it that any of those who have been active in bringing about this strike will never again enter the employ of the road." DELAY OFFICIAL BUSINESS.
