BUSY AT THE WORKS. There Are Over 900 Men Now Em- ployed. The pay roll at the Canadian Lo- comotive Works is_at the present time the largest in the Works. There are over 300 men employed. Two different gangs are kept busy all the while. A large number of men are working day and night making shells, The first con- tract given. by the British authori- ties has been completed, and the men are working on a second order of shrapnel. Some of the men are also employed in making large ex- plosive shells. This order was re- cently, received by the company. Day and night gangs are working at the shells. : Since the many men were taken on the staff about two months ago they have been very husy rearranging the shops and also working on new loco- motives. The second engine has been completed for the Transconti- nental Railway, and was shipped this week. The company has an order to- make fifteen engines for the Gov- ernment. It- is expected that it will only be a short time until the lo- comotives ordered by the Russian Government will be on the way. On account of the locomotives being of an entirely different type to those used on the Canadian and American railroads, the draftsmen have been forced to make new plans, which has taken a lot of time. © MAJOR W.
