Brown Men Brought in by
TrainlOads
ALL LINES ARE EFFECTED
TRAINMEN THREATEN TO WALK
OUT IN SYMPATHY WITH THE
MAcHlNIsTs lF SETTLEMENT
is NOT MADE AT EARLY DATE
ON CANADIAN PACIFIC.

Winnipeg. Man. Aug. 6.--The Ca
madam Pacific is now replacing some
Of the strikers in the western shops
by Japanese. Several coaches filled
with JaDs came from Mountain, Swift
Current, and Medicine Hat, while Ga
licians do duty at Moosejaw. The
Japanese are being gathered at Pa
cif1c coast points and more are ex-
pected to arrive today They will be
placed In round houses as wipers and
will do small repairs under instruc-
tions from the foreman.
The crux OF the strike situation lies
In the atrstude of the engineers, fre-
men and conductors and the indica-
tiol's ass that the inter-union jeal-
ousies which have spoiled previous
strikes for the men have now disap-
peared and that four days hence the
whole Canadian Pacific service will be
tied up by these operatives, who will
refuse TO take out the mails on the
ground that the trains have not been
properly inspected.

stroy 1t, thus giving Kavanaugh the
Impression that he was the sole heir.

between the constitutional progress
sives. who hold eleven wards Of the
city and the reactionaries. who hold
one large ward. The people however,
have informed the central governments
that they are not opposed to the Shah.
Those who are jealous for a con-
tinuation Of the old regime ragard the

jurIlan. did on zone occasion, express
seditionary Views, but later acknow-
ledged the supremacy OF the shah and
adjourned indefinitely in token Of sub
mission.
