STRIKERS ARE
GETTING VIOLENT
WIXXIPKO. Man., Aug. II. The
first act of violence of the Canadlur
Pacific railroad strike occurred at
midnight when almost all the win
dows of the coaches of a passenge
train were broken by stones hurled
by unknown persons In the St. Boni
face yard, across Red river from
here. No one was Injured. Today
12 workmen who had begun work
yesterday walked out of the yard...
remarking to the strikers' pickols at
the gates "that they did not propose
to remain imprisoned like ronvicis."
With regard to an assertion tiat
the preseut struggle Is between the
railroad and union leaders rather
I than the men, J. H. McVety said:
I "Such a statement is absurd. There
'was not time enough between the iv
'suing of the arbitration commission
award and the beginning of the
strike for us to Influence tne men.
Nor was any such attempt made. A.I
that was submitted to the men wai
the award ot the commission with
the question whether the men would
accept or not. The vote for a strll.e
was an absolutely spontaneous
movement by the men themselv-B
and they are sticking to It with prac
tical unanimity."
Local strikers emphatically deny
that the engineers' union will sup
port them. The strikers Bay that In
enother week many of the trains will
Li unfit for the road.
AtA Brandon, Man., where 200
men are out, the strike situation wis
given new life last evening when the
company brought In from the Hait
1 men. A majority of them -ire ex

The railroad yards are patr.-iilt.-d at
