HIEN F4➢08 STRIE
Grand Trunk Trainmen Vote to
Stand by Their Demands,
IT IS NOW UP TO COMPANY
Less Than. Fifty of the Men Vote
Against a Walk -out, According to
Reports of the Strike Ballot Just
Completed — Meeting To -day
Will Decide—Delegates Feel
Justified In Their Attitude.
Montreal, July 18.—Apparently the
critical stage in the dispute between
the G.T.R. and its trainmen, yardmen
and conductors is now close at hand,
and is will depend upon the attitude
to be taken by the company whether
there is an extensive strike on both
the Grand Trunk and the Central Ver-
mont Railways. The returns of the'
second strike vote on the Grand
Trunk were counted yesterday, and it
was stated that of the 3,350 votes
cast less than fifty were against a
strike.
President Hays was notified on Sat-
urday that the forty-two delegates
from the various centres along that
system between Portland and Chicago
Ai had returned to the city, and
e
promptly sent them word that he
would be prepared to meet them for
another discussion at 11.30 on Mon-
day morning. It may be that this
meeting will decide the fate of the
issue, but it is more probable that
there will be further conferences be-
fore anything definite is decided. It
is, however, stated by the leaders for
the men that, in view of this second
decisive vote, they will lay the matter
firmly before Mr. Hays, that the com-
pany must grant them the standard
eastern wage or they will call a strike.
If it became evident that the com-
pany did not intend to meet this de-
mand, the strike would be called
without delay.
Vlydald 'Lynch Detective..
East Liverpool, Ohio, July 18.—
Adelbert Keddie. aged 21 years, was
shot by Detective Ira Ricket of the
Anti -Saloon League force Saturday
night. The shooting occurred in the
business section of the town, Keddie
was standings on the sidewalk when
Detective Ricket, it is alleged, at-
tempted to aitoot Alvin Dawson, 21
years old. Dawson escaped the fire
and Keddie was shot through the
left ankle. Ricket escaped, punned
by a crowd, but ran into the arms of
Policeman Fowler. He and Dawson
were taken to the city jail, followed
by a crowd of several thousand per-
sons. Threats were made to lynch the
detective. but he was finally landed
behind the bars. Extra police were
placed on duty at the jail to prevent
a repetition of the Newark tragedy of
eight days ago.

Winnipeg, July 18.—The intense
heat of the last few days has brought
a recurrence of anxiety for the crop
of the West. Leading authorities have
been interviewed on the subject, and
the following review of the situation.
is given:
On the lath of July telegrams from
all over the west indicated that while
the damage was very serious, there
was still a good probability that a
crop of about 90,000,000 bushels of
wheat would be reaped. This was
entirely contingent upon a good gen-
eral rainfall. On the 14th the west
experienced one of the worst days of
the season: The thermometer out on
the open country ran as high as 104
in the shade. The intense heat was
accompanied by a hot dry wind,
which lasted from early morning un-
til late at night, and was calculated
to reduce the crop from one or two
bushels per acre in every district suf-
fering from want of rain. The 15th
brought cooler weather, and a num-
ber of fairly heavy showers, distri-
buted pretty well over the country
between Winnipeg and Calgary. It
fell both north and south of the main
line of the C.P.R. While this im-
proved condition, to the , extent of
checking a rapid deterioration of the
crop, it was not sufficient to promote
growing or filling.
There are large areas in the west,
particularly in Northern Manitoba,
Central and Northern Saskatchewan
and Northern Alberta, that have had
abundant rain all season, and where
the crops are as fine as these dis-
tricts have ever produced, and from
these sections, even without much ad-
ditional rain, 'a good' crop will be
realized.. But taking the west gen-
erally, where there is an acreage of
8,500,000 sown to wheat this year,
without immediate rain generally .over
the whole .country lasting at least
thirty-six hours, 'there is little hope
of reaping more than seventy or sev-
enty-five million bushels, and every
