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

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

gathered on the Pacific Coast, and more
are expected today. They will be placed

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.

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

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

THE 3IORXIXG.
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

pleted and a rich mining and agricultural

part of Judges in rendering their opin
ions, ueiay. ne sam,
to the detriment of the poor and bene

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

be greatly reduced
