The Wln Siipeg city council tonight, despite vi gorous opposition from the labor mem bers, voted nine to five to reorganize the municipal fire department along lines that will forbid the firemen to join further union forces in a sympathe tic strike. Although the "Winnipeg general strike has been condemned by leading officials of every branch of govern mental authority, the union forces made no move toward industrial peace today. Announcement that general walkouts took place today at Edmonton and Cal rary and that unions at Saskatoon and iiegina consider similar action tonight seemingly strengthened the morale of the local labor contingent. On the face of the ultimatum issued last week by Gideon Robertson, federal minister of labor, a large majority of "Winnipeg postal clerks today were automatically ousted from the federal service. Robertson gave the workers until noon to return to work or to Ftand discharged. On-a few went back. A similiar order by the pro vincial government to provincial tele phone operators received the same re sponse. Car Operators to Be Guarded. The city council met tonight to con eider a commuication rn,ade public last night by Mayor Gray requesting that no city employe who joined the sympa thetic etrike should be taken back un less he signs a written agreement to not leave his post in the future. The question of operating street cars tomor row also was before the council. Mayor Gray said today that the city would furnish "adequate police protection if ear service, suspended since the strike began on May 15, is resumed." The Winnipeg citizens' committee which recently indorsed the principle of collective bargaining between em ployers and union men but which re fused to agree to the plan submitted by labor leaders as a basis of strike settlement, today received the formal support of the government. JolUn Is Set Forth. Minister Robertson Issued this state ment: "Conditions for the right of collec tive bargaining which are stated to be the cause of the "Winnipeg strike seem to be generally misunderstood. The employers, parties to the original dis pute: the president of the Canadian Manufacturers' association and the cit izens' committee as constituted since the strike occurred, all agree to the principle of collective bargaining, as it is interpreted, namely, the right of ny individual to belong to a labor union if he so desired and the right of employes to bargain with their em ployers concerning matters affecting any individual plant or industry. '"The central strike committe-, how ever, interprets the right of collective bargaining to mean that the central body shall have the power to approve or reject any agreement that may be sat isfactory to the employer or classes of the employers and their employes wJiich, if granted, would have the re sult of enabling any central commit tee entirely outside the industry or craft affected to dictate the acceptance or rejection of any agreement. Mall Distribution Begun. "It therefore means, that instead of giving to the workmen in any indi vidual plant or industry the right of collective bargaining with their em ployers, it deprives them of the right and places them entirely in the hands of a central body, which principle the citizens committee of V innipeg pro vincial and federal governments agree cannot be accepted.' Distribution of vast quantities of mail stored in the "Winnipeg postoffice began in earnest today under the di rection of federal officials. The postoffice, guarded by soldiers. !was the i..a.gnet for hoctil , curious and interested pedestrians. Men v 1th union buttons on their "oats made caustic re marks, but ,no disturbance of a serious nature took place. There has been a feeling that so far as local issues of the Winnipeg strike are concerned, tiie test of strength and control might not tt--:e place until the ptreet cars were ut into service. Mayor Gray said today that he hoped to have cars running tomorrow and that "he was going to keep them running.' Mayor Gray read wi'h interest a dis tiatch that city policemen and firemen and postal workers would not join the tvmpathetic strike -t Or lgary. The Winnipeg walkout involved all public futilities workers. REGINA, Sask., May 26. A jgeneral Btrike went into effect today in Gal jrary and Edmonton, the two largest cities next to Winnipeg in the prairie provinces. Every trade unionist in the two cities walked out at 1 o'clock In sympathy with the Winnipeg strikers, i CALGARY, Alberta, May 26. Union , men of Calgary and Edmonton at 11 A. M., today began .walking out on general strike called ir sympathy with the Winnipeg walkout. "VANCOUVER, B. C, May 26. As the Edmonton and Calgary strikes involve telegraph operators of the Canadian Press, Limited, at those points, no sie- t.-.ila of today's walkouts are expected here soon. The Calgary and Edmonton news papers, it was believed here, will be forced to suspend, as the strike will cut them off f from their news of the outside world. The probable strike of ti e pressmen also will cripple them. The only strike news the Canadian Press operators will carry on the over land wire -will ge government bulle tins Issued at Ottawa.
