For some weeks past Norfolk and
Western has been one OF the STRONGEST

attributed its action to buying by the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Certainly

find Il clue in the forthcoming annual

II Is not necessary to wait, however. to
find why interest in the stock has in
creased.
During the past ten years Norfolk

Dublin, Sept. 2O.-There was no
improvement today in the situation
resulting from the strike declared or
iginally on the Great Southern and
Western railway and which Is ex-
tending over the Great Northern and
the Midland Great Western, thus af-
fecting the three principal lines of
railroad communication in Ireland. An
effort to I'LL the places of the men who
quit is being made. Forty Scottish
strikebreakers arrived this morning
and met hostile reception from the
strikers, who attempted to stampede
them A big police escort routed
the attacking party.
The executive committee of the
J Amalgamated Society of Railway Ser
| wants tonight adopted a resolution,
setting forth that unless the railway
companies reinstate all the men and
cease penalizing for refusal to handle
black leg traffic" the society will
call national strike
The strike continues to spread and
practically all traffic to England has
ceased. No violence is reported but
troops are guarding the Great South

out Dominion
VOTE WILL COME TOMORROW
Montreal the Scene Of the Finish Of
Very Bitter Canadian Political
War

Montreal, Sept. 2O-The popularity
termed reciprocity campaign" which
has been the most bitterly contested
in the history of the Canadian regions
has made Dominion politics as never
before matter of world knowledge
and interest, was brought practically
to a close last nightawhen enormous
outdoor meetings in French districts
here were addressed by two leading
and strikingly contrasting figures in
the contest, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and
Henri Bourassa. Both the premier,
who has been reciprocitys most pro
minent exponent, and the national
leader, whose unique opposition and
propaganda probably have done more
than anything else to increase the
number of question marks set against
names Of constituencies by political
forecasters, were greeted with the
enthusiasm typical of the politically
susceptible French element of Mon
treal.
That reciprocity is the supreme Is
sue not only of this campaign, but of
Canada's development, and that to-
morrow's balloting affords an unpre-
cedented opportunity for accelerating
the Dominion's development of its
wonderful resources, while assuring
simultaneous benefits to the United
States as the other party to the agree
ment, was the reiteration of Sir Will
frid in his appeal for continuance of
his governments regime.
That reciprocity is undesirable but
not the most vital factor involved in
his opposition, was insisted upon by
Mr.. Bourassa. Eventual annexation
of Canada by the United States, II
not by force certainly as result OF
preliminary commercial assimilation
following reciprocity, the folly and
worse Of the government legislation
for the nucleus of Canadian navy
and the necessity Of perpetuating var
ious rights and advantages enjoyed
by the Participating population Of
the Dominion. especially in Quebec
province, were alse important factors
he asserted.
Sir Wilfrid's first speech was deliv
cred from a stand on Atwater avenue

tant West-end constituencies. Thous
ands of persons solidly packed tn
conyerging thoroughfares From thi
meeting he was escorted by torch
