London, Dep. 4. Though . the storm
along the v English 'channel and North
sea coasts subsided somewhat tonight,
the absence of definite news from near
ly a score of ships that are missing
tended to Increase .1 the fear for ' the
safety of those unaccounted for.
At least ? 200 vessels. , ranging; - from
small sailing craft to steamships, have
been lost.- Tbe foundering of 'the steam
ers ; Thlstlemere, Elian " Vannin, . the
sloop Cormorant and the Dutch' vessels
Ora and Labora have, so far a a reported,
caused the heaviest loss ofllfe.
The : day's - early estimate . of 200
drowned in the English 'channel may ex
c-eed (he casualtlea here.
At least , 60 wer edrowned in the
North sea, according to reports from
German towns. , a ' i
If the missing ships have gone down,
the present estimates of the dead will
prove far too smalL - . . ---
In every coast town tonight the anx
ious families of the missing sailors are
gathered, hoping to hear some tidings
from the llfesaring crews that are en-
gaired in the work of rescue. J-

was Injected tonight into the. strike oil
the' switchmen- on the- northwest ralll
roads, which threatens to cause troubl."
in an entirely new quarter. . -
The flour and cereal mill , employes
and the flour loaders and freight hand
Iers are now showing a restless spirit.
and It la said they may refuse to handle
flour or other freight switched by non
union men.'. ' : -J .
The flour mill employes hire called a
general meeting' for tomorrow night, at
which -the situation will be canvassed
and a vote 'Will probably . be, taken on
the attitude of the unions. If these men
should refuse to handle freight moved
by non-union men. officers of the
Switchmen's 'union declare" the 'freight
handlers will follow them. -
'Should these unions declare a strike
4000 ' men would immediately be In
volved and several thousand others
would probably be thrown out of work .
on account of enforced closing of the
mills. Offlcialsof the Switchmen's un
ion tonight declared that such action
wiuld paralyse the Twin Cities railroads-
ealn, luaanvuch -as--they - would
have to fill not. 'only the places of the
switohmen, but of the freight handlers
as well. -,. . v .: ': ' . '
Ballway Managers Optimistic
In spite of this new development Gen
eral Managers Slade and Gruber -of the
Great Northern and r Northern Pacific
railroads, were optimistic tonight. ' They
characterized the reports concerning th
possible strike of the freight handlers
a "mere 'bogles put tip by the Switch
men's union officials."
The railroads profess to have broken
the backbone of the strike, and insist
that instead of -having difficulty in get
ting men to fill the strikers' places they
have more strikebreakers than they can
use. '.''"
"The time for talking arbitration Is
past," said General Manager Slade, "We -are
in this fight to a finish, and we have
got them , whipped already.'
Claim prelgnt Moves .Normally.
: , This sentiment was echoed by General
Manager .Gruber and Presidents Hill and
Pennington of the. two northwest railroads.
Commercial .houses here and In St.
Paul also reported that they believed
the railroads were getting the upper
hand. . Following , the announcement by
the t railroads thjat the . embargo on '
freight, had been lifted, the . business
houses here delivered a large amount of
merchandise, to the - railroads for ship
ment. The railway officials declare
this business Is now moving almost nor
mally, although It is apparent that the
congestion in the yards here Is not over
