Conditions. Montreal, Que., July 19. The end of the first 24 hours of the strike of conductors, trainmen and yardmen on the Grand Trunk system finds both sides professing satisfaction with the outcome. 'V'-V ' The company succeeded in keeping its through passenger trains moving. Such delays as have occurred "were not unusual and a good many of the locals have made their trips without incident, manned by crews taken from the working forces in other depart ments. No attempt was made to move freight out of Montreal. ., ;; ' . . Vice President Fitzhugh; of the Grand Trunk, said tonight that when the mails and passenger trains are moving without friction the freight business will be taken up. , ' "This is not going to be a strike of a day or two," said Mr. Fitzhugh. "The company went into, it knowing what it was facing and determined to see it through to the end. It can not afford to lose.", v ' . ; ) Vice President Miirdook, . the. train men's organiser, says ; that they .never expected to tie up. the passenger ser vice and he points to the non-operation of freight trains and suburban trains as proof that the men. .have cause for satisfaction over the results of the first day of the strike. . -; , So far the : only attempt made at iSecting a settlement -hasJbeenj th$ oUer of the minister h 1 r-toilo aiiythngnossibU-.to tri . at peace JKwmzM : i,-h,iche suggests should be binding upon both parties.

Ottawa. ... .v ; There has hot been the slightest attempt at disorder in Montreal. The freight yards are quiet and only traT elers are allowed to enter Buena Ven ture depot., . , . The repair shops were closed today and as a result three . has been, con siderable grumbling among the men it being maintained that the company should not penalize the shop men be cause the trainmen went .put. . - Vice President Murdock announced tonight that 350 men had been added to the strikers by. tie calling out of the men employee on the Wabash, which has running rights over the Grand Trunk from Windsor to Niag ara. ; ... ; f The; calling out of these men has caused some discussion In Montreal because of the fact that two othe railways, the Intercolonial and. the Delaware and Hudson enter, this city over the Grand - Trunk, tracks, vtW trains being manned by employes - of these companies. The Intercolonial is the property of the Canadian , govern ment and has running rights on a ren tal basis over the Grand Trunk tracks between Montreal and St. Rosalie. -It js practically in the same position as the Wabash and it is argued that if the Wabash men have 'been ordered out the Intercolonial men runnlngin to Montreal should be also taken, off. This would of course bring the gov ernment into the fight and it is point ed out that the Brotherhood may not be anxious to do this. The only freight entering the city Way over the Grand Trunk tracks with the exception of a short stock train from Brockville wre these manned by Intercolonial men. . , .

When . the ""insurgents offered an amendment, reducing the tariff on pe troleum, Cannon left his chair and raged over the floor of the House like a wild man.

"Men; who. .will wantonly and maliciously assail our public servants no matter what their political faith may be,' and who; are faithful, to public duty are traitors to the State, no matter - how lofty .their hyprocritical professions may seem to sound.1 So said former Vice President Fairbanks, in the coursef an. address before the Advertising Clubs of Amer ica today.
