The local eflect of the trainmen’s strike was to delay more or less seri- ously the departure of trains due to clear from the G.T.R. station. The news or the declaration of the strike was received in town late last night and it spread like wildfire am- Ot-g the railway men. This morning the silence about the G.T.R. station was as “deep as deat ” compared with the bustle and confusion that usually prevails. None of the early morning trains pulled 1 out, as they could not be man- ned by a crew of qualified officials, a conductor and two brakamen. The Haliburton train arrived at the staâ€" tion in charge of Mr. E. J. Kingsley while No. 21 from Port Hope in charge of Trainmaster J. D. McMillan came into the station shortly after 9.15 o’clock. .. -L _-_ PAGE v vovvâ€"v These were the only trains that pas- sed through during the day and pas- sengers who assembled at the staâ€" tion for the purpose of boarding the outbound trains accepted the condi- tion of things philosophically, and many of them took advantage of the “I”; v C.P.R. to reach their destination . CAR SHOPS CLOSED. The numbers of local conductors 1 and brakemen who were eflected by the strike was considerably augment- ed by the closing down of the local G.T.R. shops by the officials of the road. The employees, together with the strikers, gathered in groups ab- out the streets tmday discussing the situation. They were a good natured body of men, and while they regretted exceedingly the circumstances which forced them to quit work they were a unit in declaring that their de- mand was a just one. A Post reporter interviewed a cou- ple of men, but they refused to give any statement for publication as did also the local G.T.R. omcial's. HARMONY PREVAILS The men are standing pat and con- siderable harmony prevails among them. There are all sorts or rumors prevailing regarding the importation n: eh-ike breakers. but these are foun- prevailing regarding of strike breakers. '0 dationless. WHEN WILL IT END ? When will it end ? is the query that is heard on all sides. Local citizens are already beginning to grumble about the non-arrival of their mail matter and there Was considerable disappointment expressed when the .Toronto papers failed to arrive. A bundle of Toronto World’s came in by C.P.R., but they were gobbled up as if by magic. The 10.48 G.T.R. train in charge of fl‘rainmaster McMillan. so states a de- spatch will arrive at 4.30 this after- noon.
