PASSENGER TRAINS ALONE MOVING --~o-- And Service is Badly Disorganized. =g=5 Montreal, July 10.--The big strike of the Grand Trunk conductors and train- men is on-with a vengeance, and at this juncture it is difficult to say where it will end or what the outcome will be. Both parties claim to be in the right, aud each is confident of winning, Three thousand eight hundred and fifty men are on strike, and in addition there are about 6,000 men thrown out of work by the closiug of tbe various Grand Trank shops along the line. The closing of the shops has raised considerable feeling _ among the mechanics and their friends. MAY USE SHOPMEN ON TRAINS, 'be Grand Trunk officials bave closed the shops for two purposes. One is that they wish to husband their resources, and for this reason cut off all unneces. gary expenses; a second reason is that they are trying to break the strike with their own men, Among the mechanice handbills are being distributed pointing out the big money that can be made as conductors, brakemen, yardmen, ete The officials hope to induce many of the mechanics to seek positions as conduc tors, etc.,and when a sufficient number: join they will reopen the shops. Large display advertisements have been insert. ed inall the city papers, asking for 500 mep to act as conductors, brakemen, yardmen, baggagemen, ete. Today tbe company cancelled all freight aud suburban trains, concentra ting their efforts on the through trains These they were able to get out witb very littl: delay THE MEN'S CLAIMB. The men claim to be highly satisfied with the result of the strike so far, not- withstanding the fact that the passen- ger service is in operation, They say that with the tying up of the freight service they have made their loss felt quite as much as they expected, and they anticipate that the company will soon find it impossible to continue the rg service without them. Mr. Murdock claims the union has 4 fund of $1,000,000 back of it, and that a strike fund of $350,000 o month could easily be raised. The pay of tbe strik. ors, he says, will $50 a month for conductors and $35 for other trainmen. Mr. Murdock, Vice-President of the Trainmen's Union, charges Mr. Hays with bad faith, and says the final ne. gotiations were broken off for this rea- Bon. STRATFORD HIT HARD. Stratford, July 19.-- Assuring the 1,500 employes of the G.T.R. shops, thrown out of work by last night's close- down order, that the strike would not extend over a few days, Master Mechan- ic Patterson urged them totemain in the vity. The employes wore address- ed by Mr. Patterson this morning. He promised free transportation back to the city toany who might leave for a = days on a visit. This morning company officials bunt 4 high and low for retired or ed conductors, but with little or no suo- cess, and not a train has left the city.
