 VIII Be Supreme Chnn- F8ss aesIor

Boston. Aug. 5.--Ten thousand mem : bers Of the subordinate lodges of the KniShts of Pythias paraded through Bostonss streets today and notwlth- tors never left their places until the brilliant pageant was dismissed
 Never in recent years in Boston has there been parade marked by such diversity of features. so much color. originality in the ideas presented In the various floats or marching features. The entire scene changed with the passing of each lodge and organization in line and the spectators were kept delighted and expectant from the be- ginning to the end of the big process sion. There were knights In armor upon horses. prancing to the gay airs of the band; courtiers in handsome doublets and robes;. royalty in purple and gold; the gloomy dungeon and home of Damon and Pythias. 6 feudaI castle with minarets and towers guard ed by a knight in mail. symbolizing the protection feature of Pythianism; King solomon and the Three Wise Men, and so on.
 George D. wragg of Boston was chief marshal. No business was trans acted by the Pythians today. Tomor- row the new Supreme Lodge officers will be chosen. There are eight ofi- cers to be elected, and most interest centers in the selection of Vice-Chan- cellor. For this ofEice the most prom ising candidate Is a Massachusetts man ID. Sidney Woodworth of Fitchburg.
 There seems to be no doubt that Henry F. Brown of Texas will be elected Supreme Chancellor. MiIwau- kee appeared to be leading for the place of the next convention.
 Tonight the Supreme Lodge rendered reception to the members of the or. der in the city.

BIG LABOR DISPUTE
EIGHT THOUSAND MECHANICS
 STRIKE IN CANADA.
This 10 This the Greatest strike Here tofOre Recorded in Railway Ctr- cIes and Involves Great Fl.
 nanciaL Interests.


 Winnipeg. Man.. Aus. b.--Unton shop men employed by the Canadian Pacific Railway today struck in all shops on the system from the Atlantic to the Pacific. and all shops tonight are idle.
 It Is estimated that 12.000 men went out. the largest number being 2.20o in Montreal Fifteen hundred quit at Winnipeg. Two thousand men left work between Fort, William and Van couver. all at the dictates of the exec utlve committee of the various unions affected. Even old workmen in line for pensions went home, and it 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. Every wheel in the shops stopped and every fro died out when the whistle blew several short blasts; caretakerS and shop fore men alone being left to put the places in shape for the period of idleness bound to follow.
 This afternoon the men gathered at their halls to appoint committees to carry on the strike. It was deter mined crowd. A few younger men
 
 ity, but the majority looked as if they fully realized the gravity of the step taken. The railroad company has sew eral hundred old country mechanics ir reserve, who will be brought to the scene of action at once.
 Among those assembled. the talk wal about the early termination of the strike. Some are optimistic enough te believe that ali will be over this week the men believing there will be ca pitulation of the company. There seems, however, to be a strong impres. sion that the company has allowed af. fairs to drift to see how far the men will go
 The Canadian Pacihc Railway ofh- cers' view Is that the finding of con. ciliatory board appointed at the re- quest of the men should be binding or the part of the men. The Canadian Pacific not only did not seek arbitra. ton but believing the board to be hos tile to the company, with drew theii representative and the government ap. pointed another arbitrator to represent their company. Despite this fact thC boards finding was accepted by thC Canadian Pacific Railroad under pro test and the company's officers are sur, prised at the refusal of the men to ac. quiesce.
 Approximate figures show that tho average weeklyspay roll of the mechan. ical department of the Canadian Pacific is close to s250,000. Thus if the strike lasts a month. it will take a million dollars out of the pockets of the g.. GOO men. The average daily pay fol each man Is something like s4. Ru- mors are current in some circles thai members of the operating department would also go out in sympathy. but 4hga te 3bou9ht to he hardly noRsible
 It is understood in some quarters tha' trainmen will walk out in sympathy or Saturday. Questioned upon this act the trainmen representatives said today that the matter of striking had never been given consideration.

GEORGIA FILES PROTEsT.

Interstate CommeFce Communications Re-
 ceivea Complaint From Shippers
 Washington, Aug. 5.--The IAterstate Connaerce Commission to-day received complaint from shippers of Georgia against railways of the Southwestern territory. protesting against an' in~ crease in freight rates, the enforce ment of which Judge Speer has tern- porarily enjotned pending a deterrnina- tion by the commission of the reason- ableness of the proposed raise Noe tice was served to-day on the defend- ant railroad companies of the nling of the complaint and they will be given twenty days in which to answer.
 As brought to the commission, the complaint is entitled the A. F. Mcr- gan Grain Company and others. against the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Com pany and others, and declares that by a concerted movement the carriers re- gently sought to increase their rates through the intervention of the South eastern Freight Association. which ts described as an organization in re- straint of trade.
 The advance proposed. which was to become effective August 1, is declared to be in suppression of competition and the result of & conspiracy.
 The proposed advances. 1t Is said. will fall not only upon the merchants, but upon the public, and many or the com- modities involved being staple articles win produce hardship. It iS estimated that the proposed advance In the state of Georgia alone represents an addt- tional tax in freight charges Of from | $500. 900 to si.00000o annually. It is | alleged that the advance is an arbitrary | and unlawful exaction and is not q | cT tbn service. It is submitted that the common carriers have no more right to advance rates in times of diversity to | con1pensate for loss of tonnage tnan ! thev have to increase rates during prosperous times in order to share Tn | the prosperity of the shipper
 Notice of the complaint was served unon the defendant railorads and they will be given twenty days in which to ! make reply.

FISH CULTURE CHEAP
WASHINGTON BUREAU IS MODEST
IN DEMANDS.
While Expenses Are Reduced Yearly
Commission Increases Steadily
the Output of Fish.

One man in Washington who is salts
tied with the treatment of his DEPART
ment by Congress is George NJ. Bowers.
United States fish commissioner. saws
the New York Tribune He was mod
crate IN his demands, and as a conse-
quence received distinguished consid-
GRAFTON at the hands of the appropria-
ton committee, which also bore in mind
that Mr.. Bowers had for the last four
years been gradually diminishing the ex-
penses OF the fish commission, while in
creaslng the output of the work and tha
efficiency of his bureau.
we VIII plan over three billion fish
IN the United States this year. said
Mi. Bowers, without any increase in
our force, but because we have, by CON
slant experiment, found better and cas-
Ter methods of distribution. Last year
we distributed two billion and a half.
While until tour years ago our distrlbu-
ton rarely reached more than five hun
dred thousand. When we first began
work with the Matching and distribution

it will cost more than $16S to hatch and
distribute that number of fish.
Il have just returned from trip
among the fish hatcheries of New Eng
land, and find that they are doing ex-
cellent work. Especially in the lobster
beds is this noticeable, and l predict that
within a few years the lobster will no
longer be the costly delicacy it is now,
but will be so moderate in price that
every one who likes it can make it a
daily meal. Several hundred millions
have been planted on the New England
coast at our various stations there, and
when these are ready for market an un-
precedented reduction in prices may be
expected. From Maine to Boston the
price of Holsters now is between 9 and
10 cents apiece, while a few years ago
they were 40 cents wholesale, and at
certain seasons often went much higher
than that. Of course, we do not make
lobster planting our chief work, but
this merely serves as an example of
some Of the benefits that are derived
from the fish commission.
The first consideration in the bureaus
distribution of fishes is to make ample
return to the waters from which the
eggs or fish have been collected The
remainder of the product is consigned to
suitable public or private waters, ON an
application which is Endorsed by sena-
tor or representative. The fish are car
ried to their destination in railroad cars
especially equipped for that purpose or
by messengers VINO accompany the ship
ments in baggage cars. In the last fiscal
year the bureau received 6346 applica-
tons for fish, most of which were grant
ed.

the work has been the increasing coop
