from an organizing tour on the coast,

In talking about the strike. Mr..
Harmon says that among the 5000
mechanics who walked out Friday
afternoon. there were over 5000
boilermakers. pipemen and black
smiths, thus causing a large major
ity OF the shops to practically close
down, and. should the strike con-
tinue very long. it will no doubt tie
up the entire Canadian Pacific sys-

Special agents for the railway conn
pany, says Mr.. Harmon, are busy es-
tablishing agencies at St. Paul and
Chicago. and are engaging non-union
men at SO cents an hour in order to
break the strike. whereas, the union
men have been receiving only AZ to
