Peoria. Ill, Oct. 5.-J. r. T. Austin
grand secretary and treasurer of the
Railway Telegraphers, today received
dispatches from Montreal showing that
the tie-up ON the Canadian Pacific is
complete and that nothing is moving
except a few passenger trains. Satur-
day night the dispatches at Smith S
Falls the only ones VINO had remained
at work and who had charge of 33S
miles of road, went out. The telegraph
ers, Mr. Austin's dispatches say, stand
firm and seem to have the sympathy of
the public all along the line of the Cana
dian Pacific, because at many places
objection is made TO any one else at
The strikers it is stated are cheerful
and sanguine of success all over the
system. Employees in the train service
have been restrained with great diff
guilty from taking part in the strike and
this is the reason the chiefs Of their
orders have gone to Montreal.
Committees of engineer firemen, con-
ductors and briakemen ON the west end
have notified the officials that they will
not risk their lives on orders given by
inexperienced men and handled by in
experien ced telegra piers. 1t is report
ed that the road is losing SIS, 900 per
day and that cattle are starving in
cars and that goods from China and
Japan are lying at Van Couver Island
awaiting shipment. Ships that have
been lying in port for more than a week
awaiting cattle have been ballasted pre-
paratory to sailing for England with
Out a cargo. The situation for the Cam
adam Pacific is pronounced very criti-
cal, owing to the fact that navigation
closes in about thirty days and the
great crops of the northwest remain I'M
moved.
Committees of the conductors, engin-
GERS, firemen and lbrakemen have cali
ed on the management and asked for
q speedy settlement of the trouble.
Notwithstanding that the Canadian
Pacific claims to be able to equip the
system with telegraphers, their efforts
to secure men in differen cities, at adj
Sanced salaries and free transportation,
have not met with any success. Ad-
vices have been received from New
York, Chicago and other cities that
commercial and other telegraphers
have refused to go to Canada and work
In tho Mace of the strikers The road
is advertising for telegraphers in the
United States, a copy of one advertise
mene having been sent TO headquarters
of the order. The advices this morning
were that the situation looked favorable |
Tor a settlement in a few days. 1t is |
not thought likely that the manage |
ment VIII throw any obstacle in the |
way, because the members of the other |
railroad brotherhoods are standing |
solidFy behind the telegraphers and are |
eager to go out in sympathy with them |
AT headquarters of the O. r. I. hun |
dreds of letters are received daily from |
members and non-nembers of the order |
expressing sympathy with the strikers |
and offering financial aid if necessary.
MuILVILLE GLASSWORKERS.
Millvilfe, n. J., Oct. 5.-The action Of |
the glass manufacturing firm of Whit |
all, Tatum & Co, in offering to start |
their flint glass furnaces at a wage re-
duction of 20 per cent off the list rate.
has created excitement in this locality |
such as has seldom been seen before. |
The threat of hiring non-union men if |
the old employees do not agree to the re-
duction, has added fuel to the flames. |
This has always been a union town and |
the work men employed in the great !
glass manufacturing plants do not |
know what to make of the present sit /
uation. The men met this afternoon |
and will give their answer tomorrow |
Bond V. Thomas, manager for Whitell, |
Tatum & Cot, says the firm is unable |
TO pay last years prices because of dull |
trade and non-Smion competition, and |
they therefore are compelled to ask the
men to accept reduction
About 200 men are employed at the
flint works, but an attempt to put nom
union men in their places will cause
trouble, 81 is feared. 1t is hoped that a
compromise may be agreed upon
Toronto, Oct 5.-The Canadian Pa
cific officials believe the telegraphers'
strike is nearly at an end The chief
Cifficulty an the way in filling the va
cant places is the hostility of outsiders
TO the men replacing the strikers. Be-
tween Montreal and Toronto seventy
five special constables are distributed
to protect the company's new empoyes.
Trains are moving on fairly good time |
today.
