STRIKERS COUNT AMERICAN Unions Will Allow No. Machin ists Sent to Canadian Pacific. TRAINMEN MAY JOIN FIGHT No Prospect of Settlement of Strike, Company Refusing to Move for Peace Grain Kxchanges Advise Settlement. WINNIPEG. Aug-. . The two opposing forces In the big Canadian Pacific- Rail road mechanics' strike have cut all pos sible hope of reconciliation. None of the mechanics In the shops Is on duty. Only a number of wipers was at work last niirht and today the railroad officials are hiring; foreigners picked up around the yards. "All Canadian lines and all Canadian Pacific connections In the United States will be affected if the Canadian Pacific Railroad attempts to force any of Its em ployes to repair locomotives or cars sent across the border in connection with train service or regular business." said J. C. McVey. chairman of the general execu tive, committee, today. "But we have the support of the Inter national union, also of the Federation of Labor, for which we arranged at meet ings held In St. Paul and Chicago. A. R. Somerville and Bell Hardy. represent ing" the Canadian union on the Canadian Pacific, attended these meetings last week." he continued. Trainmen May Soon Join. It Is said In some quarters that. If a settlement Is not forthcoming very soon, all trainmen will walk out In sympathy with the men. Indications are that the jealouHes which have spoiled previous strikes for the men have now disap peared, and that four days hence the whole Canadian Pacific Railway service will be tied up by these operatives refus ing to take out malls on the ground that the trains have not been properly In spected. Company Seeks No Peace. To the surprise of the cltixens and alarm of the company word was received today from Second Vice-President Whyte to, open no negotiations with the men un til his arrival here Saturday. The first statement of the company was given out today by Mr. Whyte. now at Vancouver. Ha said: "It is not our place to take any action In the matter. When the conciliation board made Its ruling. I telegraphed Ot tawa that their findings were not from our point of view a satisfactory settle ment to the company In the spirit of the Lemleux ratification ct. but we would agree to them. We did not participate In the present situation and are saying nothing about It." Grain Men Want Settlement. Boards of trade and grain exchanges throughout the West are advising a epeedy settlement, urging that In a few ays wheat will be waiting to be shipped to the seaboard. There are a few Italians working on car trucks in the motive power department, besides a few aged employes who still have six months to serve In order to draw a pension. They were told that If they deserted their work benches, they might lose their positions and their pen sions. These old men preferred to stick by the company, so the strikers did not trouble them. TRAFFIC XOT IXTERRVPTED Canadian Pacific Does Business as Though Strike Was Not. The strike of 12.000 union mechanics on the Canadian Pacific Railway sys tem has not affected the operation of the company's trains, according to re ports received yesterday by F. R. John son, general agent for the Canadian Pa cific in Portland. The sale of tickets and the routing of passengers over this road will be continued at Its local of fice as long as the movement of its trains is not interrupted. "Thus far all of our trains have been operated on schedule time," said Mr. Johnson last night. "The strike trouble Involves only the men In the median r.i Aenartment. and doea not affect our operating department In the least." WHAT STRIKERS DEMANDED Issues on Which Canadian Pacific Split With Machinists. TORONTO, Ont.. Aug. . A conserv ative estimate today places the number of men on strike in the Canadian Pa cific Railway shops throughout Canada at over 6000. The demands of the striking me chanics are: Reduction of hours from 10 to 9. To do away with the demerit mark system used in connection with- time clocks in the works. That machinists be paid on the 17th - . . nn.V. Ft nAW instead oi mo That the company cease alleged en deavors to disrupt the mechanics' un- The men say they are satisfied with the present rate of wages, but hope for. better in the future. While on strike the pay would be for those on strike $7 per week. The officials refuse to say whether steps will be taken to fill the places of the men or whether overtures will be made. Rumored Employment of Japs. WINNIPEG. Man., Aug. . The Ca nadian Pacific Railroad Is now replac ing some of the strikers In Western shops by Japanese. Several coachloads were brought In last night from the mountain section to Swift Current and Medicine Hat. while Gallcians do duty at Moose Jaw. Japanese are being gathered on the Pacific Coast, and more are expected today. They will be placed in roundhouses as wipers and will do small repair work under instructions.

Mass.. was today re-elected president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Thomas 8. Hughes was elected secretary-treasurer and George TJ Briggs. of Chicago, auditor. No Japanese Machinists. VANCOUVER. B. C. Aug. . Cana dian Pacific officials decline to make any statement regarding the strike of machinists and car repairers, but the rumor that Japanese are being used as strike-breakers here Is quite with out foundation. None of the Japanese here are expert machinists. A number of white men are at work in the shops, attending to necessary work on loco motives. The strikers are orderly, and are keeping away from the shops. All trains are arriving and departing on time. N'o Fusion for Teamsters. DETROIT. Aug. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters has rejected the overtures of the United Teamters of America to amalgamate the two or ganizations. It had been reported that a resolution would be submitted Indors ing Boan on the antl-lnjunctlon Issue, but the time for adopting the resolution expired at 8 o'clock last night, and no such resolution . had appeared.

BALDWIN" PITS IX NEW SHAFT Made Tests Under Reduced Speed Pending Its Arrival. WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. Although Cap tain Baldwin has already made two suc cessful flights in the new dirigible bal loon, built for the Army, they were both made under difficulties. The propeller shaft built for the machine was found defective at the last moment and a tem porary Bhaft had been used at the Fort Myer flights. A new shaft arrived today and will be put in position. In the flights made on Tuesday and Wednesday the mo tor was run at reduced speed because of the temporary shafting that was used. As soon as the new shaft has been ad Justed.

' EMPEROR i EXPRESSES GRIEF Zeppelin Replies Devoting Himself to Building Airships. FRIED IdRICHSHAVENi "Aug.. 6. The King of Wurtemburg called on Count Zep pelin at his hotel here today and conveyed to the aeronaut the personal regret of Emperor William over the destruction yesterday of the count's airship at Ech terlndengen. The Emperor telegraphed: "I have heard with the "deepest regret of the destruction of your balloon by a storm and I wish you to know of my cordial sympathy In your misfortune. All the more since I and all Germany thought we had every reason to believe we could con gratulate you on the. great realization of your splendid epochmaking achievement. Nevertheless what you have accomplished must be recognized as of the highest or der and thie must be a comfort to you in this catastrophe." Count Zeppelin later replied to Em peror William as follows: 'Tour Majesty's telegram has turned my grief to Joy. I will gladly devote myself to your wishes and those of the German people and continue the con struction of airships." Monument on Scene or Disaster. DEMARE3T. Aug. 6. The government of Hesse has decided to erect a commem orative stone at the scene of the disaster to Count Zeppelin's airship. WANTS TO KEEP PROVINCES Agitation in Bosnia and Herzgovlna Worries Austria. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 6. Austria Hungary has instituted inquiries among the signatories of the Berlin treaty in an effort to clear up Its position in the occupied provinces of Bosnia and Herzgovlna that have been under the administration of Austria Hungary under the terms of the Berlin treaty since 1878. The situation there has been complicated by the declara tion of the Turkish constitution and the widespread movement of reform among the Mussulmans. These two provinces are still nomi nally part of the Ottoman Empire, and the Turkish population Is demanding representation in the new parliament. The Slavs are agitating for an autono mous government. The treaty of Ber lin and subsequent agreements with Russia gave Austria-Hungary a man date for the indefinite occupation of the provinces, but did not give her a right to institute a specific form of government. Austria-Hungary professes to be em barrassed by the problem which is an outcome of the developments of today, but it Is believed that she is secretly pleased at the opportunity of bringing the provinces Into closer connection with the Empire. New Turkish Cabinet Formed. CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug. . Kiamll Pasha today formed a new cabinet. Jem alledln Effendl. the Sheik ul Islam and the Minister of Foreign Affairs retain their portfolios.

HARRIIN LOOKS ON BRIGHT SIDE Prosperity Is Returning and New Crops Will Relieve Money Stringency. FARMERS RESCUE NATION Insists That Railroads Are Not Mak ing Fair Profits and That Rates Must Be Increased. Gives Gossipy Interview. c x- t-v a r Tilers inv a ' A more ra tional- feeling prevails throughout the country In the matter of financial condi tions." said Edward H. Harriman. the railway magnate, today, while discussing the question of prosperity and other sub jects of interest to the people at large. "I feel that there Is much improvement in the situation. With the crops growing and those already gathered, the produc tion In the aggregate will be of greater magnitude and value mis year, mm the basis of prosperity. When the far- ..... .oil thole rrnnfl thev will be in the markets to buy and thus help the mer chant and manufacturer. "The increased cost of material ana labor Is responsible for a great falling off in railroad business. Labor Is the basis of the Increase. I do ndt suppose there is a railroad of any Importance at present paying a fair return on the money invested, owing to the Increased cost of maintenance. There must be a decrease In cost or an increase of rates to conduct the transportation business properly. No Increase Just Now. "Railroads assume as much risk, if not more, than other enterprises, and ought to have a fair margin of profit. I am in favor of a compensation that will be in keeping with the better fa cilities afforded by the railroads. I do not think It advisable to make the in creased rate at this time, but think the people and the railroads, together with the Government, are arriving at a point wher conditions are better un derstood, and that the outcome will be satisfactory to all. "It is necessary for the railroad cor porations to have credit with which to raise funds to put their roads on a proper basis and have them reach the highest state of efficiency. As I wrote to Pres ident Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. I favor a regulated publicity, but think that the railroads must have protection. Competition enforced by legislation is destructive and not beneficial. Explains Gould Deal. "In the matter of assisting the Gould Interests. I will say that we took the action we did in connection with the Erie Railroad to bridge over an emergency, and It certainly proved beneficial to the situation. "Regarding the ruling of the Inter state Commerce Commission that rail roads and trans-Pacific steamship lines must publish their rates. I feel that the situation is a serious one. The steamship companies have never asked the Government for subsidy or assist ance in any manner." The latter statement was made by Mr. Harriman In reply to a query as to whether he did not feel that the new regulations regarding the publica tion of rates would favor the steam ship lines operating via the Suez canal to the injury of the trans-Paciflc com panies. Asked If he thought the young man of today has a better opportunity for advancement than 40 years ago, Mr. Harriman replied that chances were much brighter, owing to improved fa cilities In almost every direction. Tells How He Succeeded. Replying to a query as to the basis of hla own success he said he accounted for it by a persistency and determination to do the thing undertaken the best way that it could be done. Mr. Harriman declined to discuss pol itics, the injunction platforms of the two big parties, or the decision of Judge Grosscup. He says he will be on the Pacific Coast for about a month and leaves tomorrow evening for Pelican Bay Lodge on Klamath Lake, Or. While on the Coast Mr. Harriman will devote some attention to projected im provements. Regarding the proposed tun nel through the Sierras Mr. Harriman said the project had reached the prac tical stage, but the actual undertaking of the work was a matter of the future, the question of finance being the most important in connection with It. Steep Grades Overcome. He spoke of improved facilities for handling trains over the steep grades and remarked that today he counted 4fi fruit cars in one freight train as he neared Sacramento. Mr. Harriman Is a guest at the Fairmount Hotel and tonight dined with a number of prominent rail road officials. Mr. Harriman arrived here this even ing on a special train, accompanied by his two sons and several officials. In the party were Julius Kruttschnltt, director of transportation of the Harriman lines; J. C. Stubbs, traffic director of the Har riman lines, and President Randolph, of the Southern Pacific in Mexico, also a director of the Harriman lines In that republic. Mrs. Harriman and other ladles of the party went to Del Monte direct. Record Made in Mexico. Director Kruttschnltt has recently re turned from Mexico, where a Harriman Rystem of 1600 miles In under construc tion. Of this 600 miles are already com pleted and a rich mining and agricultural country will soon be -opened up, extend ing from Guaymaa to Guadalajara. A record In railroad construction has been made on the new system. 350 miles of road having been built within one year. TAFT SPEAKS FOR JUSTICE (Continued From First Page.)

V. n nurnnu nT late courts IUUUIU uts iv r'- Anally disposing in a Just and prompt way of contentions between litigants. The ap pellate Jurisdiction of the court of last re sort should be limited to those cases which are typical and which give to it in Its Judgment an opportunity to cover the whole field of the law. I believe that a great reform might be eftected, certainly In the Federal courts, and I think, too, In the state courts, by a mandatory reduction of tha court costs and fees. The salaries of the court officers should be fixed and should be paid out of the treasury of the county, state or Na tional government, as tha case may be, and fees should be reduced to as low a figure as possible. Arbitrate Damage Suits. I think another step in the direction of the dispatch of litigation would be the re quirement of higher qualifications for those Judges who sit on caises Involving a small pecuniary amount. Another method by which Irritation at the inequality of our Justice may be reduced Is by the introduc tion of a svstem for the settling of damage suits brought by employes against public service corporations through official arbi tration and without resort to Jury trials. Such a system Is working in England, as I am Informed, and was successfully Inau gurated in Massachusetts. No one can have sat on a Federal bench, as I did for eight or nine years, and not realise how defective the administration of Justice in those cases must have seemed to the defeated plaintiff, whether he was the legless or armless em ploye himself or his personal repreaenta tlve. As to the jury system, Mr. Taft eaid: "We cannot, of course, dispense with the Jury system. It Is that which makes the people a part of the administration of Jus tice, but every means by which In civil cases litigants may be Induced voluntarily to avoid the expense, delay and burden of Jury trials ought to be encouraged, because In this way the general administration of Justice can be greatly facilitated and tha expense Incident to delay In litigation can be greatly reduced -w- rr- , 1 n.
