WINNIPEG. Man, Aug. 6.-The
strike of union shopmen employed by
the Canadian Pacifc railway has ex'
tended TO shops on the system from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and all
are idle.
1t is estimated that 10000 men went
out. the largest from one shop being
1900 In Montreal Fifteen hundred
quit at Winnipeg. Two thousand men
left work between Fort William and
Vancouver, all at the dictates OF the
executive committees of the various
unions affected. Even old workmen
in line for pensions went home. and
II seems to be the most extensive
strike in the history OF railway shops
in Canada.
All the workmen employed around
the train sheds at depots went out. and
conductors and engineers caused some
delay to train service by insisting that
trains be properly made up before they
would take them out.

GERS view Is that the finding OF a

railway not only did not seek arbitra-

hostile to the company. withdrew
their representative, and the govern
mept appointed another arbitrator to
represent the company.
Despite these facts, the board
finding was accepted by the Canadian
Pacific railway under protest and the
company's officers are surprised at
the refusal OF the men to acquiesce.

Victim Walks After

New York-A few days ago the re-
markable feat of sewing up cut in
mans heart was successfully per-
formed by two surgeons, Drs. Blake
and Dwight, at Roosevelt hospital.
The patient, William Johnson,
negro about 80 years old, is still in the
hospital, i'll with pneumonia, but, so
far as his heart is concerned, he ls
all right 1t has healed completely.
Johnson was stabbed in the course
of a saloon row with long thin knife,
which severed the fourth rib two
inches to the left of the mid line, and
entered the heart. He left the scene
of the stabbing without telling any
one of it, and strolled about the streets
for three-quarters Of an hour. The
wound appeared to be a slight one,
and, as it was not bleeding, externally
at least, Johnson did not worry about
1t.
By and by, however, he began to
feel drowsy, and sat down on the curb
and put his head in his hands. Here
an acquaintance found him, drew from
him the fact that he had been stabbed,
and telephoned for an ambulance,
which carried him to Roosevelt hos
pital.
Dr. Dwight, the house surgeon,
diagnosed the case, and at once tele-
phoned DR.. Joseph A. Blake. Within
an hour and half after the stabbing
Johnson was on the operating table
DR.. Blake performed the operation
with DR.. Dwight assisting.
