THE AMERICAN STRIKES.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10. A message states that while the presidents of the Brotherhoods of locomotive engineers, firemen and enginemen have advised members to leave work if their lives are endangered by guards or defective equipment, the president of the Trainmen’s Brotherhood has telegraphed to members asking them not to strike but to refer complaints to the executive committee, which will investigate and decide. OTTAWA, Aug. 10. Fifty American railway engines in a crippled condition are proceeding to Montreal for repairs. It is believed that Canadian workmen will refuse to work on them. NEW YORK, Aug. 10. At Cleveland the Brotherhood leaders were notified that trains operated by members were fired on by coal strike sympathisers all along the line from the Kentucky coalfields to Chicago. At Indiania, Pennsylvania, twenty five members of the Central Pennsylvania Coal Operators’ Association declined to attend the Cleveland Conference.
