GREAT STRIKE OF
ENG|NEMEN POSSIBLE
Ninety-eight Roads West Of
Chicago Affected.

Chicago, June 3-One of the largest
strikes in the history of the country
may take place soon following the re-
fusal of ninety Eight railroads west Of
Chicago to grant an increase of wages
asked by tiremen and engineers.
After conference lasting three
months between committees repre-
senting the railroads and the iremen
and engineers it was announced that
the railroads would not meet the re-
quests of the men because they meant
increases to the payrolls of nearly so
per cent.
Warren S. Stone, grand chief engi-
neer of the Brotherhood of LocOmo-
tive Engineers, will submit the ques-
ton of a strike to the men. 1t will
be thirty days before the referendum
vote can be taken.
The total mileage of the road in
volved is about 100000. More than
$4,000 firemen and engineers will be
affected.

the Empress Of ireland. 4-.~
Montreal, June 1.-THE sharp point
of an anchor projecting from the
twisted bow of the Norwegian collier
StOrstad may explain why that vessel
did such terrible execution when she
rammed the Empress of Ireland in
the lower St. Lawrence.
An examination of the Golfers
shattered plates revealed the anchor
jammed in a position where it could
have ripped the hull of the Empress
like great can opener. The anchor
point and portions of the battered
steel surrounding it bear stains OF
blood.
Pilot Nault, who navigated the
Storstad up the st. Lawrence from
Quebec, said that Captain Andersen
told him that Anderson, his first Off
Ger and Pilot Lechance, who brought
the Storstad from Father Point to
Quebec, were on the bridge at the
time of the collision. One of the OFF,
GERS of the Storstad said:
AT the time of the disaster I was
lying in my bunk. I was awakened
by a shock and at first thought the
ship had struck rock.

the side. The Storstad was going full
speed astern. The water around was
filled with struggling men and women
shouting for help. Boats were imme-
diately lowered and there was not a
man on the Storstad who did not do
his utmost to help rescue the peO-

IDENTIFICATION OF THE DEAD
Work Accomplished More Rapidly
Than Expected.

Work Accomplished More Rapidly
Than Expected.
Quebec, June 2.-Identitication of
the dead from the wreck of the Cana
dian Pacific steamer Empress of Ire
land is being accomplished more rapid
ly than was expected. Nearly 100 of
the 1873 bodies brought here by the
Lady Grey thus far have been claim
ed by friends and relatives. This is
in addition to the eighteen bodies
identified at Rimouski.
Among those identified are Sir Hen
ry Seton-Karr, the big game hunter;
Dr. E. A. Barlow, leading geologist
of Canada, and Mrs. w. Leonard Pal
mer, wife of London newspaper
man. Nearly score of members of
the Salvation Army have been claimed
from among the dead.
When the Lady Grey, escorted by
the British warship Essex, arrived in
Quebec bluejackets from the Essex
acted as pallbearers. The bodies
were placed on long tables draped in
black and white in the funeral shed
which had been prepared for their re-
ception. The pier shed was heavily
draped in black and over the windows
sheets were fastened to shut out the
view of the curious and the morbid.
On the wharf as the ship locked
was a throng of officials, newspaper
men, photographers and moving pic
ture men, while outside Borrowing
crowd awaited admittance to search
For their dead.
Survivors Seek Loved Ones.
A number of survivors of the dis.
aster were in the crowd, hoping to
find the bodies of loved ones they had
lost when the steamer went down.
Pathetic scenes were witnessed in
that section of the shed in which
twenty-five little caskets lay. These
contained the bodies of babies and lit.
tie children.
Several of the bodies of the recov-
cred dead were badly gashed, prob
ably killed in their berths by the force
of the Storstad's bow as it crashed
into the Empress of Ireland's side,
while nearly all were bruised and
battered from contact with debris.
