Carloads of perishable freight are stand
ing on sidings far and near, and unless
1t is possible 70 begin to turn the wheels
soon the property loss will be large. Food
supply and crop transportation are vitality
involved, it is stated.
A generally expressed opinion at many
important points on the Grand Trunk is
that the strikers will be able to continue
the freight train holdup two or three days
longer at least.
Conductors and yandmen in the employ
of the Wabash on the tracks that roaa
leases from the Grand Trunk, between Nj.
agara Falls, Ont, and Windsor, Ont. on
posite Detroit, have gone out ana an a
result the Wabash is having considerable
trouble in moving its passenger trains over
that division. No attempt is being made
to touch the freight.
No Serious Disorder.
Freedom from serious disorder continues
to characterize conditions.
Only at two points has trouble been re-
ported. Strike sympathizers roughly handled
two railroad employees at Niagara Falls.
Ontario, and late last night at Sherbrooke
an acting conductor of Montreal bound
train was attacked by a crowd. Two
policemen and the station agent finally got
him to his train. which then proceeded.
Both the Grand Trunk and the Wabash
are recruiting men. Vice President Fitz-
hugh, who is in charge for the company.
said today he expected partial resumption
of freight operations before night, but that
any widespread movement could not be
expected for few days.
Vessels with Half CarEOes.
The congestion of west-bound freight on
the docks at Montreal harbor is increasing.
while shipping companies say that SIX
ocean going steamers which leave this port
Friday and Saturday for Europe will 20 out
with no more than half loads because of
the delays to freight from the west
The strikers admit the company's present
ability to keep a majority of it's passenger
trains moving, but say that If the pressure
Of the freight tie up on which they have
relied proves insufficient TO force some
satisfactory settlement within a day or two
strong effort will be made 20 get the
railroad telegraphers to quit.
Leaders on both sides say all thought OF
arbitration or compromise has been aban-
doned.
The postoffice officials report the mai
service practically uninterrupted.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, July 20.-Vice President
and General Manager Henry Miller of the
