ishable Freight.
Winnipeg. Man, oct. lit Is said q
general strike among all the employees
OF the Canadian Pacific railroad from
the Atlantic TO the Pacific may take
place as a result of the walkout of the
operators. AS IL Is, scarcely a single
freight train is moving from Lake Su-
perior TO the Pacific coast. Passenger
service is seriously interrupted, and
telegraphic business is totally demoral-
ized at all minor stations. Not an oper-
ator. excepting dispatchers. is at his
post of duty at the stations. The pres
ent strike has been in organization Tor
more than two months. During this
time there has been a steady agitation
for higher scale of wages. No bet
ter time could have been selected for
a strike, as the road is as busy as 1t
can possibly be moving wheat. which
shippers are anxious everywhere 10
push TO Fort William before the close
of navigation. The roads to the south
are so busy that they are employing
operators who might at more slack
times be out Of employment.
Several Accidents Reported.
One road running into st. Paul has
employed over seventy extra operators
in the last fortnight. The men say that
every operator on the line outside OF
the dispatchers is out. At Montreal
several accidents have been reported
as the result OF the strike. At Nor
wood two freight trains collided. and
another serious wreck was narrowly
averted. In Toronto business is at
standstill In the eastern portions OF
the Ontario division there is a blockade
of trains which will cause heavy loss
in the case of perishable freight. From
sault Ste Marie and Marquette, Mich,
come reports to the effect that the
strike has paralyzed business on all
Canadian Pacific lines Officials Of the
road at Vancouver b. c., were greatly
surprised by the walkout. They ex-
pect. however. to be able to make ar
rangements for the regular running of
trains in a few days.

lead-all inside a minute or two" was
the way Captain Johnson described it.
The captain jumped into the yawl boat.
which drifted rapidly toward the heavy
breakers. The yawl was half full OF
water and was being knocked about In
a desperate manner. In the meantime.
the tug Simpson, towing the lifeboat
and crew. was making toward the
wreck against a heavy sea. Captain
Boutin OF the life-saving crew dis
covered the yawl rapidly drifting to-
ward the breakers and at the risk of
losing himself, crew and boat. quickly
cut the line which attached his boat
TO the tug and began at once a life
and death chase for the drifting yawl
and her human freight After a lively
run the boat overlook the frail
craft and rescued the single occupant.
which was then found To be Captain
Johnson. The pursuit of the yawl was
made with the lifeboat under sail. and
the members of the crew describe the
race as something decidedly exciting,
dangerous and uncertain as to results.
