Efforts to End Strike- Fall.
Montreal, July 25. The attempts
of Mackenzie King, minister of labor,
to effect a settlement of the Grand
Trunk strike have fallen through, at
least for tin? present, the railroad
management taking the view that the
time for arbitration has passed and
all that the rmirnny requires In or
der to resume the full operation of
the road Is protection for Its new men
to which It Is legally entitled. The
message conveying this information to
Mr. King was sent yesterday and read:
"Tour tnessage of the 23rd received.
While ns you know from the many
conferences urging your action bcfoYe
the strike took place and fronf our of
fer repeatedly urged upon the Mm
mite, we were desirous of arbitra
tion, and so avoiding the existing trou
ble, time for such action has now
passed, and It is only necessary that
we should have the protection to
which we are entitled to enable us to
resume the full operation of the road.
"CHARLES M. HATES."

said, is causing talk of a compromise.
