MAY PORTEND A GREAT STRIKE.
Majority of the Telegraphers on the Cana
dian Pacific Quit Work.

Montreal, Sept 29.-It is learned here
that the majority of Canadian Pacific
railway officers on the main line be-
tween ST. John, N. B., and Vancouver,
B. c., have stopped work. On the On
tario division the strike does not ap-
pear to have been general and things
are better there than elsewhere.
From Montreal to Quebec and east to
ST. John and north to Chalk River the
majority of the operators are out
The officials say they will be able to
get hundreds of operators from the
United States in a few days. Mean
while they do not expect passenger
travel to suffer, though freight may be
delayed The operators employed on
commercial business are not affected
by the strike, and the company is ac-
cepting messages as usual.
The great question of the hour in con-
nection with this matter is whether or
not the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, which is an organization of
brakemen and a large section of the
conductors, will take a hand in the
fight. Officials of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers evidently have expecta-
tions that this will occur later on, but
the officials of the company, on the
other hand, are confident that it will

the plan.

Lately considerable misunderstanding
has arisen between the representatives
of some of the newspapers and the po-
lice officials at several fires, subjecting
the men TO unpleasant experiences
where both the reporter and the police
man were eager in the discharge of
their duties. The newspaper men rec
ognizing the fact that the trouble did
not lay with the officer, because
he had no way of distinguishing
reporter from anyone who under
took to impose upon him for the sake
of satisfying a morbid curiosity to get
within the fire lines, have taken steps
to have the fire commission supply
badges to the several newspapers.
Marshall G. Clarke, of the Union, repre-
senting the reporters, was given
hearing last evening by the fire COM
mission.
Mr.. Clarke explained the situation to
the board Mayor Hendrick presided
atlthe meeting last evening, and favor
ed the scheme, 1t was also spoken of
favorably by Chief Engineer Kennedy,
who said that he appreciated the diff
Guilty the newspaper men had III getting
the news at fires.
A member of the board asked how
many badges would be required, to
which Mr.. Clark replied that two to
each paper would probably be suffi-
Client Mr. Morgan did not think the
badges necessary and thought that the
men could get the desired information
outside the lines, The matter was re-
ferred to the committee on efficiency.
After the meeting it was stated that
the request Of the reporters would be
granted The badges will belong to
the fire department.
The following promotions were made:

this he found did not meet with the ap
probation of the police commissioners.

ing was done in the way of making
