    MUTED BODY
IS REMIT TO QUIT
Local Members Fear They Have
Been Gold Bricked; Will
Treat as Individuals
Believing: that they have to a cer
tain extent been gold bricked, mem
bers of the Brotherhood of Federated
Railway Employes in Harrisburg at &
meeting yesterday decided to handle
their grievances themselves.
During yesterday word was received
at the local headquarters In North
Sixth street from Sunbury that W. H.
Pierce, president of the order, had
issued another ultimatum "that unless
the Federated Brotherhood wns rec
ognized by Wednesday 4 0,000 em
ployes of the Pennsylvania Railroad
would be called out on strike."
President Pierce made this state
ment at a meeting In Sunburv. Local
members expressed a willingness' at
their meeting to wait until Wednesday.
In the meantime, however, it is said,
Harrisburg men will treat with the
Pennsylvania Railroad as individuals.
Members of the Federated Brother
hood in Harrisburg said yesterday that
they did not care to take any chances
of losing their jobs entirely. A dis
patch from Sunbury to-day says:
"Following a meeting of the Broth
erhood of 'Federated Employes here
yesterday a movement was made by
several hundred members to leave the
brotherhood and treat with the com
pany as individuals. W. H. Pierce, the
president of the order, offered to have
a final settlement by Wednesday, but
the majority of the members here do
not care to take any further chances
of losing their positions.
"To some of the men who lost their
jobs through last Thursday's fizzle the
punishment has been severe. One man
is old and has but one leg. Another
has a wife and four children and
made more than SIOO per month.
Much bitter feeling exists toward the
head of the organization here."

It is conceded by the closest students of
he subject that rheumatism is caused in
nost cases by an acid condition of the blood

Wigfield Issues Proclamation Ask
ing For General Celebration
Next Sunday
Burgess Fred Wigfield has taken
time by the forelock in issuing his an
nual proclamation for a general ob
servance of Mothers' Day, next Sun
day, May 10.
For years past it has been the cus
tom to observe Mothers' Day here. In
all the churches there are special serv
ices in honor of the mothers and a
white carnation is worn by nearly
everyone. The burgess' proclamation
is as follows:
"Whereas throughout the world, and
especially in this nation and state, and
particularly in our own borough of
Steelton, motherhood should be hon
ored, and principle, duty, gratitude
and affection bind us closely to the
mothers who bore us for the world,
it behooves us to give expression to
that consideration and esteem due to
the mothers by an outward and visible
sign; /
"Therefore I. Fred Wigfield, burgess
of the borough of Steelton, do desig
nate the white carnation as that sign,
and May 10th as Mothers' Day, and
request that everyone, man, woman
and child,, shall wear this sign on that
day as a symbol of love to his own
mother and an offering of respect to
every other mother.
"Given under my hand and seal this
