STRIKE OFF BY SATURDAY
Is the Prediction Of Vice Pres. Fitz
hugh Of Grand Trunk.

Montreal. July 20-"The backbone
of the strike will be broker by Satur-
day"
This was the assertion of Vice Presi-
dent Fitzhugh of the Grand Trunk in
answering regarding to the strike OF
it's conductors and trainmen.
To-day" he continued. we resumed
part Of our suburban service out of
Montreal. We are just setting in mo-
ton a number of freight trains. Re
cruits are coming in to take the strik-
ers' places faster than we can take
care of them.
"Reports from our divisional points
all over the system are just as salts
factory as they are in Montreal. NO
disturbances of consequence are re-
ported anywhere and all of our pas
senger trains are moving without in
terruption. BY Saturday or earlier we
will have full complement of men
and our service will be resumed in its
full capacity"
On the surface of things the answer
denotes activity. The trainmen are
endeayoring to persuade strikebreakers
from going to work, rather than pre-
vent them frow running trains. This
NAV be accounted for by the fact that
Vice President Murdoch of the Broth
erhood of Trainmen and his associates
devoted several hours in negotiations
with President Shaughnessy of the
Canadian Pacific Railway regarding
final adjustment of the status OF the
men employed on the road. 1t was
/ reported that the settlement OF dis
puted points was near at hand.

thoroughly cleared up. it is expected
that the union officials will turn thell

"PAY 500 FINE, GO TO JAIL
OR KILL DOG" SAYS COURT
II Doesn't Take Fred lotz Long TO
Decide on Execution Of Cur.

II DOESN'T axe Freo Lotx Long "
Decide on Execution Of Cur.
Fred Lotz, No. PSI Campbeil-ave.
was given his choice OF three things
by Judge Phelan. Tuesday. He was
sentenced to pay a fine OF 500 for
keeping vicious dog, or spend 80
days in Detroit House OF Correction.
In default of either of these penalties,
he was told he would have to execute
the animal, a poor, slight beast OF the
poodle variety. II didn't take Fred
long to reach q decision.
patrolman led the dog by u chain
from the court room to the dog
pound, followed by concourse OF wo-
men, who had complained that their
children had been victims OF canine
yiciousness.
Mrs. Mary Eavon was the complain.
ing witness. She declared her child
had been badly bitten. She followed
the executioner to the dog pound to
see Justice meted out. Accompanying
her we're Mrs. Alice Hamilton, No. 2S5
Campbell-ave. and Mrs. Louisa Mas
kill, OF No. 474 Anthon-st. Both these
women complained that their children
had been attacked.
The execution Of Lotz's dog comes
as the dramatic climax to long
drawn-out and bitter legal contest.
Lott declared that he could prove his
dog was not viciously inclined, but
evidently he failed to do so. Lotz
went to the pound to see his pet
executed
