Trunk Line in Canada Road Coin

Import Strike Breakers.
Toronto, Ont., July 19. Thousands
of men went out today In one of the
biggest railroad strikes in the history
of Canada. No trains are running
over 4500 miles of the main line of
the Grand Trunk. The men struck
simultaneously and the road Is com
pletely tied up. Yardmen and shop
men quit. They have a defense fund
of more than a million dollars per
month so are ready, they say, to
fight to the finish. Approximately
4,000 yardmen, conductors and train
men went out and 5,000 shopmen.
A few malls trains were allowed to
leave, the trainmen saying they will
not interfere with mall trains but will
not allow any others to be moved. No
violence is reported. The company
snys they nre Intending to import
strike breakers.
The Central Vermont which is con
trolled by the Grand Trunk, made
an effort to prevent Its men going
out by appealing to Washington un
der the terms of the Erdman act.
Vice President Murdock of the train
men yesterday afternoon received a
telegram signed by Martin A. Knapi
chairman of the interstate commerce
commission, and Chnrles P. Nelll,
commissioner of labor, expressing
their willingness to use their offices.
To this Mr. Murdock replied:
"The situation Is such, considering
the attitude of the companies as to
Have small hope for settlement as
a result of mediation. Men leave the
service this evening."
The order closing the shops all al
ong the line of the Grand Trunk will
affect 6000 men, of whom about 700
nre in Montreal. It is understood that
a considerable number will be offer
ed a chanrp to take the places of
striking conductors and trainmen. The
only passenger train scheduled to
leave Bonavcnture depot after the
strike order went into effect, the To
ronto express and locnl, pulled out
without any delay duo to the strike.
The express was manned by a crew
of French Canadians, old employes of
the company, not members of the
brotherhood.
The strike was called shortly before
ten o'clock last night after a confer
ence with officials at Montreal. Mem
bers of the employes committee left
the hall hearing sealed envelopes
which they were told to open that
night unless telegraph orders not to
were received. There were no orders
so the envelopes were opened and
orders to strike were found therein.
The strike aTfccts the Crand Trunk
and Central Vermont railroads.
Company Will Go Slow.
Detroit. July 19. At the Grand
Trunk offices here today, it is ndmlt
ted that the line will be tied up for
three days at least on account of the
strike. If the company tries to handle
freight through their yards other,
than a general strike of switchmen
might result. For this reason offici
als will go slow.
Lino ! Tied Up.
Toronto. Ont., July 19. Reports
from Detroit. Chicago and Canadian
points Indicate that the great walk
out of employees this morning has
tied tip the Grand Trunk. Over 10,
000 men. yardmen, conductors, etc..

scale Identical with that enforced by
the Baltimore & Ohio. The company
refused this although offering nn ad
vance of IS per cent. Pome trains

ently Impressed to put out a challenge

Texas to Han Fight Pictures.
Austin. Tex.. July 19. Governor
Camphell today submitted to fhe state
legislature, which convene, In spe-1
cini session, a recommendation for n
law prohibiting moving picture exhibi
tions of the Johnson-Jeffries fight.
Tt Is probable that the measure will
seek to debar the exhibition of all
kinds of pugilistic encounters.
The governor says the display of
the fight pictures would excite race
feeling and probably result In dis
turbances. The special session begins its work
only four days before the democratic
primnrles, which will be held next
Saturday throughout the state, ns the
culmination of a spirited and bitter
campaign.
The specific purpose of the special
session as named In the call Is to re
peal the fire insurance rating board
law. It Is charged by nntt-prohlbl-tlon
lenders that ti1P governor's real
object Is to forestall the possible elec
tion of O. B. Colquitt, the candidate
of the antl-prohibitlon faction for
governor by raising and bringing
about the enactment of restrictive leg
islation that will practically put the
saloons out of business in Texas.

ANOTHER
IN BEMERT ISLAND CASE
Another chapter has been written
In the famous Dave Beavert or little
Swltzler island case. The latest
chapter has Just been written by
Judge R. S. Bean of the United States
court in which he holds that the
Earnharts are in contempt of court
for having disobeyed the Injunction
issued by the United States court.
The defendents are thereforeorder

BUMPER CROP
Of
Political Situation in County
Grows More Interesting
Day By Day.
T. V. TAYLOR MAY RUN
FOR STATE TREASURER

eral S. l Wilson of Athena Would
Step lino Cole's Shoes W. L.
Thompson May Be Candidate for
Joint Senator or Representative
.Tames Joints Not After Judgeship.
As the time for the filing of nom
inating petitions draws closer so the
conditions of things political begin
to become more Interesting. It Is
now quite apparent that the crop of
candidates, like that of wheat, Is to
be a big one, for hardly a day pass
es that does not bring some new can
didate into the field, if any credence
Is to be placed in the reports of dame
rumor.
As usual, Pendleton will have one
or more candidates for state offices
a1! well as for county offices. It Is
said that T. C. Taylor, the pioneer
hardware merchant and former presi
dent of the senate, will be a candidate
for the republican nomination for the
of:ee of state treasurer. Taylor Is
known as a "regular" republican
and therefore it is presumed that he
will not make the race unless assured
flint ho can have the tiomtnat'on.
Col. James 11. Raley, who at one
time aspired to he attorney general
of Oregon, is again being urged by his
democratic friends In different parts
of eastern Oregon to make the rice.
The colonel, however, is said to not
look upon the proposition with favor
Would IV Joint Senator.
Among the latest aspirants for po
litical honors is Attorney S. F. Wilson
who is the Athena member of the firm
of p. t. is .n & Y."iis..n He desires to
we tr the sliee.s (-.-t off by Joint Sen
ator W. G. Col,-. p"1 for that purpose
has been over in Union county in an
effort to construct some fences. He
is a young republican who came to
Oregon from the Carolina.1? three and
one-half years airo.
Among Wilson's opponents will
probably lie Representative C A.
Barrett of the sa'ne. town. He is a
Statement No. 1 lepublieun and has
t Ice bein eleit.-.i on that platform,
huvh.g U ,i t'...- ... B.-.U;:vo ticket at
the !r.t on( t:en. In addition to be
ing a Statement No. 1 man. Barrett
is also against the assembly idea and
will therefore pr.-bably be regarded as
the insurgent or progressive candi
date. W. L. Thompson, president of the
American Naiioi.al bank and also
president of the Pendleton Commer
cial association, is also said to be a
receptive candidate for the republican
nomination for this office or that of
joint representative.
Joe N. Scott of Athena, who made
an unsuccessful race against Joint
Representative Ma.honey of Heppncr,
last year, will probably bear the dem
ocratic standard in this fight a second
time.
CauilidntcH for Representative,
in addition to L. L. Mann, the pres
ent encumbent, and Col. H. G. New
port of Hermiston. Mayor N. A. Davis
of Milton, will probably be a cand -date
for the repub! can nomination
for representative. Davis is cashier
of the First National bank of Milton
and is regarded as one of the prom
inent 1 1 sidents of the east end of the
county.
The only democratic possibility
mentioned for representative thus far
Is A. S. Pearson, the well known Free
water real estate merchant. Pearson
has been both recorder and mayor of
the town of Freewater and apparently
enjoys the confidence of the citizens
of that end of the county.
It Is said that the democrats will
also have a candidate for the position
definitely settled In the United States
j court. Failing to obey this order tlie
will be arrested and fined or placed
in jail or hoth.

Two Candidates for Judgeship.
Though James Johns has declared
that he will nor be a -candidate for
the democratic nomination for county
judge, two other democrat'? possibili
ty? are said to ha-e sprung up. These
are T. J. Tweedy of this el'y and D.
C. Brownell of Umatilla. Tweedy
made the race for county Judge at one
time and was only defeated by a small
margin. Brownell Is one cf the pio
neer residents of the west end of the
county and is prominent and well
known beyond the confines of his own
section.
Pome of the leading democrats In
this city are also rustling fnr candi
date? for some of the other offices.
It is understood that no attempt will
he made to secure the office of re
corder or treasurer and It Is possible
that W. D. Chamberlain will be in
duced to run for state representative
instead of clerk. The democrats also
expect to re-elect State Senator Smith
and Sheriff Taylor without opposition.
Other Democratle Aspirants.
Mayor Louis Seho of Echo. Is said
to have been placed In training to
make the race against John W. Kim
brell for the position of county sur
veyor, while James Price of Weston
may be Induced to make the run for
county commissioner to take the place
to be made vacant by the expiration
of Commissioner Lee's term of office.
Mack Cockburn of Milton will prob
ably be the republican candidate. It
is conceded that Lee's successor should
come from the east end of the coun
ty. From present Indications Ralph
Folsom will be reelected coroner,
without democratic or republican op
position, though City Physician Mc
Faul's name has been mentioned as a
possible opponent for the republican
nomination.

BurlTngame, Kan.. July 19. Jo
seph G. Cannon will not abandon the
race for the speakership of the next
house of representatives. This he
made plain near the conclusion of his
speech at Emporia, yesterday after
noon. He said he would abide by the
will of the republican caucus if the
republicans control the next congress,
but that no "muckraking magazines"
could make him say he would not be a
candidate. In other words, he said he
would not unke nn effort to win the
speakership, yet the emphasis with
which he spoke, made it plain that
if the republican caucus should nom
inate him he would be willing to serve.
Speaker Cannon's remarks on the
speakership were made just before he i
left the platform at Emporia to catch j
a train for Burllngame.
