ORDERLY YET
 C. P. STRIKE
Arrival of Strike Breakers
 is Awaited
A Possibility of a Tie Up of the Entire System by Sunday.

Winnipeg, Aug. 6.-Tonight all the Canadian Pacific railway shops are in darkness owing to the electricians op- erating the light plant declining to work with non-uniOn laborors. Today three coach loads of strike breakers reached here from St. Paul and Chi Icago and these added to the Japanese used in the round houses and the Ital- ians and Galicians at work in other parts of the yards add somewhat to the activity around the buildings.
 Porters on the cars are now com pelled to clean out the cars and every laborer that can be utilized by the company is being pressed into service. Seven hundred mechanics are expect- ed from the Pacific coast states while the eastern shops will draw their sup ply from the New England states
 Sixty union pickets have been placed on duty at the local shops, the com pany not being averse to passive pick citing which is not illegal. At some of the shops in the far western cities. armed police are on guard, but this is not considered necessary here. All day at the shops everything was quiet as it could be. Between fifty and sixty pickets were placed at various railroad terminals in the vicinity of the shops to meet all mechanics coming
 into the city to dissuade them from gO- ing to work, if had any such an in tentioh.
 J. II. McVey, local chairman of the strikers. authorized the Associated Press to state that he had
 information from thoroughly reliable sQfrce that var load of strikebreakers had left Chica- go yesterday morning. He was unable
 to state the number of men coming, nor could he say exactly the hour of their arrival, although a strict lookout for them is being maintained by the pickets guarding the Zoo line, of the Great Northern terminal.
 McVey has been assured of the sup port of the federation of labor, and already a strike allowance is made by the head officials of the moUlders. Single men will receive 8 per week. and married men $7 during the strike. other branches are rapidly falling into line and before long every striker will be provided for. There is report that the trainmen will go out on Sat urday. This is denied by McVey, but is affirmed by all the strikers who will talk and who assert that the whole system will be tied up by Sunday. Trainmen do not consist of engineers firensen and conductors. but of switch men, hrakcmen, baggagemon and some conductors 1t is pointed out that there is a federation of conductors, engin eers. fireman and telegraphers. all of whom work together in harmony. They form the most conservative OrsaniZa- ton and for a number of years has had an ironbound agreement with the company In the most violent labor disputes these organizations stood by their agreements, feeling that a mutual confidence exists between railroads and their operating employees.
 Tickets have reported that three carloads of men from the states, about 800 in all are now at the round house, having been taken secretly in locked cars. Regret was expressed by the men tonight that Vice President White had gone to the west coast and Van couver Island and would not be here for two weeks, leaving the strike in the hands of Assistant General Man ager, c. J. Bury. of the western lines.
 Word reached here tonight that the Canadian Pacific coal store house to- day was burned at North Head, ont. At noon today at Kenroa, ont, a di- visional point east of here, locomo- tive was run ipto a turntable pit. It is claimed that the act was done by one of the striking shopmen. The head hostIer had brought the locomo- tive out of the shop and it was turned over to an engineer who placed it on siding in readiness to take it out on an east bound train. While the en- gineer was absent a few minutes in the shop getting something he had for gotten. some one snealled up to the engine and opened the throttle. The siding leading up to the turntable was open and the engine ran into the pit. A wrecking crew and crane were ord cred out at once. It picked up the dis abled engine and placed it back on the track. The company is maintaing tro in car1-irp
