A. Henning, at a meeting of railroad men at the assembly room in the Minneapolis Court House last evening, from which I quote the following: ‘The conference also was given information t the Bur- lington Road was willing to subscribe to the agreement, provid the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific came along. I called Mr. Donnelly, president of the Northern Pacific, over long-distance phone, but he told me that under no circumstances would the Northern Paficic be willing to accept. I gave this in- formation to B. M. Jewell, head of the Railway Employes’ Department of the American Federation of Labor. Shortly afterwards we received information from the East that there was a possibility of both the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern signing up before the fifteen-day limit provided in the agree- ment expired.” In the negotiations I have had with Mr. Henning since this strike began, I have not known of an instance in which he has told an untruth, and, therefore, I assume that he did receive the information, which in the pas- sage above quoted he says was received “from the East.” Who gave it he does not say, nor do I know, or even suspect. Certainly, no one having authority to speak for the Northern Pacific gave it; and my purpose in addressing this com- munication to you is to say to you directly that whoever gave it, the informa- tion is incorrect. There is not the remotest possibility that the Northern Pacific will accept the proposed basis of settlement within fifteen days, or at any time. I say this regretfully, because the management would be glad to see restored to their former positions all of our former employes, excepting a few who have dis- regarded all rules of conducting fairly a struggle such as that in which we are engaged. It was this desire which moved us to keep your places open until long after other lines had begun to employ new men; and it was the same desire which occasioned our participation in the settlement negotiations in New York, three weeks ago. All of our efforts failed because your leaders declined in July, and again in August, to accept a settlement at least as favoable to you as the settlement which they accepted in Chicago last Wednesday; and it is to me a matter of deep regret that what we were able and willing to do in July, and again n August, we cannot do now without sacrificing men whose fidelity to us has given them the right to expect that we will not betray them.
