WOULD COMPLETELY
TIE UP THE SYSTEM
Operating Employees Of Canadian
Pacific May Join Strike.

Winnipeg, Man, Aug. THE Cana
dian Pacific railroad is replacing some
of its strikers in Western shops by
Japanese. Several coachloads have
been brought in from the mountain
section to Swift Current and Medi-
cine Hat, while Galicians are on duty
at Moose Jaw. The Japanese are be
ing gathered at Pacific coast towns
and they will be placed in the round
houses as wipers and to do small re-
pairs under instructions from fore
men.
The crux of the strike situation
lies in the attitude of the engineers,
firemen and conductors and the indi-
cations are that interunion jealousies
which have spoiled previous strikes
and that four days hence the whole
Canadian Pacific railroad service will
be tied up by these operatives refus-
ing to take out mails on the ground
that trains have rot been properly
inspected.
The demands of the striking me-
chanics are: Reduction of hours from
ten to nine; to do away with the
merit mark system used in connection
with time clocks in the works; that
machinists be paid on the 18th in
stead of the goth, as now; that the
company cease alleged endeavors to
disrupt the mechanical unions. The
men say they are satisfied with the
present rate of wages, but hope for
better in the future.

URGED AS VICE CHAIRMAN
Smith of New Jersey May Manage
Democratic Campaign in East.

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. THE selec-
tion of former Senator James Smith,
Jr., of New Jersey as vice chairman
of the Democratic national committee
and head of the subcommittee which
will control the Democratic campaign
in the Eastern states is being strongly
urged by several national committee
men and while Chairman Mack has
made no definite decision 1t is be-
lieved here that Mr.. Smith will be
named for the place.
Mr.. Smiths appointment as cam
paign leader in the East is urged on
the ground that he has not been
strongly identified with any faction in
the party and commands a wide infiu-
ence in the Democratic counsels. Mr.
Mack said that Mr. Smith was strong
ly considered for head of the sub
committee.

WILL UPHOLD GOMPERS.
Labor Leaders to Confer on Political
Situation.

Chicago, Aug. 7.-Officials of all the
national and international unions
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor are to hold conference,
probably in Chicago, within the next
two weeks to issue an official state
ment on the political situation. The
meeting will be similar to the one
held in Washington last March when
the labor men addressed a memorial
to congress urging the enactment of
certain bills in the interest of the
workers.
The purpose of the meeting, 1t is
said, is to set at rest all doubt as to
whether Samuel Gompers represented
organized labor wher he officially en-
dorsed the Democratic platform. The
meeting is expected to uphold Mr..
Gompers and make an unequivocal
appeal to the union men of the coun-
try to support Bryan at the polls in
November.
John B. Lennon, treasurer of the
American Federation of Labor, has
arrived from his home in Blooming
ton. He wore a Bryan button as big
as a saucer on his coat and said that
President Gompers was now in telO-
graphic communication with the heads
of all the unions relative to the pro-
posed conference.
There is no doubt in my mind
about what labor will do" said Mr..
Lennon. ut will support Bryan more
unitedly than it did in either of his
former campaigns. If anything should
arise to prevent the conference OF
labor officials the executive council of
the American Federation of Labor
will issue a statement urging support
