Strikers Return in Places as Northern Pacific Reports Break in Strike
Special Dispatch from St Paul, Aug 7. General Manager Horn says strike conditions on the Northern Pacific system have improved throughout the day. Strikers attempted to disrupt lines but divisions show net gains. Perham allegedly never calls off strikes yet many workers return or seek positions. Several sailors have reentered the St Paul and Minnesota divisions, with Dakota and western divisions rehiring. Freight and passenger traffic move, Yellowstone park traffic up, and Lewis and Clark exposition shipments continue. The strike was broken within 12 hours and the road recovers rapidly. Perham and aides claimed to shut the system, but could not blockade any branch or single train. The 6000-mile system remains free from wrecks and accidents.
