WHOLE LINE TIED UP.

Great Northern Employes at St. Paul and Minneapolis Stop Work. The strike is on at last in St. Paul and Minneapolis. The American Railway Union called out all its men in the employ of the Great Northern Road in the two cities. Telegrams were sent to all unions oh the line to stand by their guns. All efforts to settle the strike failed, and President Debs of the A. R. U. issued orders for a strike on all the Minnesota divisions of the Great Northern. This completes the strike from St. Paul to the coast. President Hill, of the Great Northern, again proposed his plan of arbitration at the last conference between the men's committee and the road, but it was refused. The strike inaugurated in Minneapolis and at St. Paul includes all train employes, yard hands, shop men. anl all other classes ot railway employes, and ties up the system from St. Paul and Minneapolis to the Pacific coast.
