unionism in Canada has given its fy to the Canadian Pacific Railroad company. Mechanics and kindred workmen today quit work and all shops, big and little, on the system, are idle. It is estimated that twelve and men went out, the largest ber being 2,200 in Montreal, and 1,500 here. Two thousand left work between Fort William and er, all at the dictates of the tive committee. Even old workmen in line for pensions went home, and it seems to be the most complete tieup in the history of railroad shops in the country.

All the workmen employed around train sheds at depots, went out and conductors and engineers caused some delay to the service by ing on trains being properly made up before they would take them out. Every wheel in the shops stopped. This afternoon the men gathered at their halls to appoint committees to carry on the strike. It was decided not to appoint plckets at present. It to known, ever, the company has several dred old country mechanics in cold storage, who will be brought 5 to the scene of action at once.

There seems to be a strong pression that the company has lowed matters to drift to see how far the men will go and that the arrival here of William Whyte, ond vice president, from Sbagway Saturday, will see a settlement" More Mm Will Strike.

The Montreal shops alone account for 2,200 idle men. Union leaders tonight claim the strike would have the effect of pling operations on the whole way system until a settlement has been reached between the company and its employes. When this tlement will come about is a matter of conjecture.

There have been mors of trouble for some months and the mechanics are evidently ganized and determined to fight, while the company is equally on what It considers its rights. Officials of the Canadian Pacific night refused to make any- ment. Before the trouble is settled the carpenters and joiners, who stitute a majority of those still at work, are quite likely to go out.
