GRAND TRUNK STRIKE.
IL sun Drsss on with Little Change In
the situation.

Montreal, June e-There are two stand
points from which the strike Of the Grand
Trunk trackmen may be looked at. From
one. 80 Ia striking sucocss; from the
other, striking failure.
The former Is the way the executive
committee OF the Trackmen's Union,
from their hsaqduarters at the st. james
hotel, size things mp. and they display no
end OF letters and kilograms In support OF
their statements. They still. also, con-
Ttinue the challenge to Mr.. McGuigan the
Grand Trunks general superintendent,
to take the newspaper men over the line
and show where any competent trackmeu
are at work.
The latter view Is naturally enough,
the impression which the officials OF the
Grand Trunk convey in whatever brief
references to the subject they permit
themselves to make. The road, 1t is said.
Is just as thoroughly and efficiently in
spected as It ever was. and II the work is
not being done by the old trackmen, but
by new hands, why, that is SO much the
worse for the men whose jobs have been
forfeited.
II Is also declared by Grand Trunk
officials, when the matter Of possible
danger Is brought up, that the roadbed
and rails all along the system are In such
good condition at the present time that
even without the regular inspection
which they are receiving there would be
little danger of any weak spot developing.
The discussion in Parliament at Ottawa
Wednesday, when the Premier declared
No. Inf ~
Interfering to prevent the importation OF
alien labor from the United States, the
trackmen not having asked for any such
government action, was brought to Or
ganizer loves attention by Q reporter
this morning.
Mr.. lowe dsclarsd that as matter If
fact the traokmen were not worrying
much about aliens coming In to take
their places, as the citizens and farmers
along the line where the new hands were
set at work seemed to be attending to
that part of the problem quite effectually.
However, 1t was not quite accurate TO
state that no request in the matter had
been made by the trackmen, as the To-
ronto branch of the Union had asked the
prevent men being brought over from
Buffalo. No action had been taken.
A labor delegation had also waited on
the government at Ottawa q few days ago
in the same connection, although doing
SO independently Of any request on the
part of the trackmen's committee. This
delegation was composed Of James Logan.
