PERlsHABLE FREIGHT
Is Only Stuff Moved at Toronto-Pas
senger Trains on Time.

Toronto, Ont. July 2l.-With the excep-
ton of train of 26 cars of perishable
goods which left Toronto this morning
for Montreal, no attempt was made in
Ontario today to move freight. Grand
Trunk passenger service out of Toronto
was practically normal with some delay
in dispatching trains. The early morn

derailed with slight injuries to the fire.
man, engineer and baggageman, was
caused by the displacement of switch.
and Terminal Supt Farrell is of the opin-
ion that the switch was tempered with.
1t is reported here tonight that Unit
ed States customs officers are meeting
at Port Huron to discuss what is to
be done with the bonded freight
shipped from the United States, now
lying at different points along the lines
of the Grand Trunk in Canada and the
United States. Bonded freight is de-
clared to be as important as mail. 1t
is said the United States government
may require, under treaty. the Cana
dian government to compel the Grand
Trunk to take care of the freight.

STARTING THE FREIGHT.
Grand Trunk Moves a Train from
White River Junction, VI.

White River Junction, VT, July 21--
The first freight moved from White
River Junction over the Central Yer
mont tracks since the strike on the
Grand Trunk was declared, left for
st. Adams this morning in charge of
crew of strike breakers. The train
was made up of eight cars loaded
with perishable freight.
Evidently no one except the railroad
officials and the deputy sheriffs and
train crew knew Of the intention, for
when the train, closely guarded by
deputy sneriffs, pulled out of the yard
there We're no strikers or strike SYM
pathiZers on hand
One act of violence was reported to-
day. A strike breaking brakeman on
/. passenger train passing through here
today was struck between the should
ers and nearly knocked from his car
by brick thrown from the road side.
The trouble is anticipated here was
evident today from the fact that 2O
more deputy sheriffs were sworn in
during the day. When the strike
breakers went to breakfast this morn
ing every fourth man was a deputy
sheriff. Lodings have been refused the
strike breakers by the residents of
the town and they are being housed in
railroad cars. A few of the imported
men have left town and no new ones
have yet taken their places. All pas
senger trains left on time today.

This Strikebreaker Evidently Not Much
of Lady's Man.

Brattleboro, VT, July 21.-Charged

Jane Clarity, who was one Of a group
of five girls standing at the railroad
station here when the afternoon train
from New London, CT, over the Grand

No Strike on the
Canadian Pacific.

Montreal, July 21.-An possibility
that the conductors and trainmen of
the Canadian Pacific Railway would
follow the example of their Grand
Trunk brothers was removed tonight
when definite agreement was reach
ed between the company and the men.
Messrs. Leonard and McTier repre-
scented the company and Vice President
Murdoch, and committee represent
ed the men.
The gist of the decision which is
largely technical and covers all points
of the dispute, is that the standard
rate of pay for the territory east OF
Chicago is recognized by the company.
The men have gained about 80 per
cent. of their demands. The new sched
ule will be retroactive to May l. The
formal agreement will be signed to-
morrow.

VIOLENCE AT BRATTLEBORO
Strikebreaker Roughly Used-Stage
Coach on Wells River Branch.

Brattleboro, VT, July 21.-Violence
shown towards a strikebreaker here
today frightened away 10 others who
had been imported to run the Central
Vermont trains
Yesterday a crowd of strikebreakers
were brought in to Brattleboro. The
strikers. however, by peaceful persua
sion induced the importations to leave
with the promise that they would not
return to assist in breaking the strike
Another load of strikebreakers, II in
all, came today and among them was
noticed one of the men who left town
yesterday promising not to return. AS
this particular man was walking
across the railroad station platform
with a detective, he was hailed with
abusive epithets from the crowd. In a
fit of anger the strikebreaker struck
one of the crowd in the face. That
was all that was needed to precipitate
trouble and in few seconds the
strikebreaker was at the bottom OF a
pile of fighting men.
The strikebreaker was roughly
handled. He was beaten, kicked and
dragged about the platform by the
himself from his tormentors and dash
ed across the Connecticut river bridge
into New Hampshire. where he sought
refuge in the woods on the side of the
mountain. The other strikebreakers
left on the south bound train, leaving
no one to operate the trains at this
point.
The authorities made preparations
during the day to furnish more police
protection to railroad property.
The Wells River branch of the Cen
trail Vermont remained tied up as tight
as ever today, not a train having NOV
ed on that 36-mile stretch of track
since the strike began. Persons living
at the upper end of the line have to
resort to an ancient stage coach for
transportation. In the towns on the
BrattleborO end of the branch road,
the mail is brought here by carriers.
Passenger trains are moving about
as usual. manned by strike breakers.

INCREASINGLY SERIOUS
is Freight Situation In Many Places
Along Line of Grand Trunk.

Montreal, July 2l.-"Freight" contin-
ued to be the slogan and the problem
in the Grand Trunk railway strike to-
day.
The 5000 striking conductors and
trainmen continued to be absent from
public view. Their leaders. speaking for
them, re-affirmed that all are quietly
awaiting an expected time when the
railroad will find resumption of its
freight business impossible
At company headquarters, however,
there was optimistic persistence in
high pressure work in freight crew
construction, freight yard clearance
and betterment of the local suburban
passenger service partially resumed
yesterday and it was stated that the
strikers had been eliminated wholly
from the situation. A birds eye view
from the Grand Trunks 400O-mile sys-
TEN from Portland, Me. to Detroit,
and in New England showed distinct
improvement in conditions, it was said,
with the freight problem, however, ad-
mittedly slow of solution.
From the viewpoint of many cities
and towns affected, the freight situa-
ton is increasingly serious. Ice COM
panies are unable to get ice. The Ca
madam Pacific is avoiding possible
trouble by refusing to run ice cars on
Crane Trunk sidings. Much perish
able freight in yards and on sidings
seems doomed to destruction. AT
Stratford, Ont, 200 men have beer
thrown out of work by the closing
down of packing and milling compa-
nies deprived of supplies. Owing to a
shortage of coal. the electric light
company there has put out street
lights.
The Wabash Railroad, affected as to
its section over the Grand Trunk
from Niagara Falls, Ont, to windsor,
Ont, is giving nearly complete passen-
ger service, but there is no freight
moving.
DESPITE the affirmation Of strike lead
ers that there attitude was to be one Of
quiet waiting, reports have been recelV'
ed at company headquarters which IN
dictate restlessness on the part or the
strike sypathizers. Statements that at

ed during the day and tonight. One
