GREAT NORTHERN TIE-UP
Some Talk bMt Very Little Prospect of
Compromise
American Operators Taking the Places
of the Strikers-Fears of Sympa-
thetic Strikes

MONTREAL, Oct. mo trains are
moving regularly OH the canadian Pa
cific today except between Toronto and
this city. There is talk of a compro-
mise being effected between the strik-
ers and the railroad. Rumors of sym
pathetic strikes in other branches of
the trainmen's organizations are rife.
The road is using every inducement to
hire operators in places of the strikers,
but experiences difficulty in getting
competent men.
TROUBLE FEARED
WINNIPEG, Man, Oct.1.-The Cana
dian Pacific railway strike shows very
little hange, but there are indications of
more serious happenings if a settle
ment is not reached within the next
twenty-four hours Superintendent
White is confident the company will
win. On the other hand the strikers
are just as confident.
The next important move in the Can
adian strike will probably be made to-
morrow in the form of a request from
the trainmen's organizations for an in
terview regarding the trouble The re-
suit of their mission will probably be di-
vulged soon.
EVERYBODY ANXIOUS
TORONTO, Oct. 1.-The question now
discussed regarding the telegraphers'
strike is, will the railway organizations
join the telegraphers in their fight
against the Canadian Pacific. Both the
company and strikers are awaiting the
action of the engineers, conductors and
trainmen as to the policy which they
will adopt. When the train came in
from North Bay, over five hours late,
the conductor told reporter that the
operators were all out all the way from
North Bay to Port Arthur, and that
during the time he was waiting in North
Bay, about twenty-nine hours, only one
freight train had been sent west and
two east. The trades and labor unions
in the city are in sympathy with the
strikers, and the fact that United States
operators are coming t2 this country
to fill the vacant positions, intensiies
the feeling. 1T is proposed to urge on the
local members Of parliament the neces-
ulations as will prohibit the importa-
tion of American labor.
POWELL'S MISSION.
PEORIA, ILL.,, Oct. 1.-Grand Chief
Powell Of the order of Railroad Teleg-
raphers, left here last night and is eX-
pected to reach Montreal tomorrow
morning to attend to the trouble on
40 Acc tot inf
Grand Chief Dolphin is expected to ar
ri4e at Winnepeg tomorrow to look
after affairs in that territory.
LEADvILLE MINERS.
LEADVILLE, Col, Oct. Livery
possibility CT ending the strike by ar
bitration or other amicable means has
disappeared, for the time being at least,
the Cloud City Miners union having
voted in regular meeting last night to
continue indefinitely to fight for the uni
form wages Of SO per day for all men
in all mines The operators will fill the
places of strikers with outsiders as rap
idly as possible, and the state militia
will probably be here long time.
AS result of the Miners union meet
ing last night the majority have decided
to remain quiescent until after cleo
ton. If Mckinley is elected, the pres
ent intention is to abandon the strike.
If Bryan is elected the hope is that the
price Of silver will advance and the man
ayers at once concede all demands of
the union. Notwithstanding this decis-
ion, there are many Of the conservative
miners who feel sore over the delay of
five weeks, while the unruly element
are more aggrieved over the decision
and eager to adopt radical measures at
once. The quetness of the past two
days, though deemed ominous by some,
is significant of more complete control
by the leaders of the strikers. At the
same time it is realized that spark may
at any moment lead to dangerous
explosion.
Active preparations continue for the
resumption of work on the Bison and
other large mines. The Bison will be
manned with Leadville miners.
