Seek to End Wire Strike In Minnesota
Commercial clubs and merchants and farmers organizations along the Great Northern and Northern Pacific lines in Minnesota urge action to end the telegraphers strike.

The strike headquarters prize the expected arrival of President J J Hill. A wreck on the Northern Pacific at Brainerd tied up the line for hours, a switch engine collided head on, the engines wrecked, and several hurt lightly. The strikers blame the wreck on telegraphic communication failure.
