The -whole trouble can be summed up In
,a few words;. There is a strike on and U
is olng- to continue for several days at
least. ? The fight is being; made against the
O. 21, 4 N, and the principal lines. Btrikv

One of the officers of the Engineers
TTnton today stated: :.".: , fivv;
"The O. K. 4 N. Company Is not losing
any thins; Jy ; toe Ue-up. In ' fact , It Is
making money by it, but It seems almost
impossible for -us to' Impress this fact
.upon the 'minds .of the other navigation
companies. It Is easy to explain why the
O. It. A N. Is making money by the strike.
Practically all the O. R. A N. boats, as
well as those of the ohher lines, are ldl
The freight they carried Is now going
over the O. R. N. railroad and the
Southern Pacific, which is also of the
Harrimau( lines. Therefore, the O. B. &

prior to the strike in adxfdUoQ to that
which was done by the other affected
boats oa the riftr. The Ow B. N. would
like to see the strike continued in order
to retain all the business. We have tried
to -explain this to the other transporta

"In view of the Increased cost of ma
