14 LITRE DEW IN IE STRIKE SITUSTION [Continued IVom First Pa«e] hensive statement Riving its side of the situation from tlie beginning: up to the present developments of the contro versy. This statement is as follows: "At present there are 7,811 em ployes of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in Harrisburg and vicinity, including Enola. Of tnis number 3,139 are employed in the shops, on car repairs and inspection in the yards. A better idea of the magni tude of the Pennsylvania Railroad operations as they affect the welfare of the city can be gathered from consideration of the fact that the nay roll for the above employes amounts to approximately $7,500,000 per an num. "At Altoona, which is recognized as the center for motive power and shop work, the total number of employes is 16,000. and the total payroll about J 15,000,000 annually. "The strike was called last Thurs day morning, and that it has not been successful is indicated by the following figures, showing the rela tively small number of shopmen who have left the service in response to the strike call, viz: At Harrisburg, Maclay street, Lucknow, Marysville nnd Enola, 453. As previously stated 250 shopmen were brought from Altoona who have been at work steadily in addition to those who re mained in the service. Fifty exper ienced car repairmen and inspectors ■were brought from Buffalo last night, and another fifty will arrive to-mor row morning, who will remain per manently in the service at Enola. Should other men leave the service, which we do not anticipate, arrange ments have been made to bring men from other points on the Pennsyl vania railroad system in lots as needed, •who will remain permanently with the company. "The strike leaders have been more successful in persuading the for eigners who labor on the track, to leave the service, in fact, many of them were driven from their work by threats, the total leaving the serv ice being 365, between Marysville and Philadelphia. "The men who work on the track are easily replaced. Eighty-six new track laborers having been employed to-day and 150 more will be put to work to-morrow. "A further indication that the strike of the shopmen is a failure, is shown by the fact that notwithstanding the picketing and claims made by the strike leaders, that a large number of men would not report for duty this morning, the whole force, with the exception of five or six men, reported as usual at all points in the Harris burg and Knola district. "Inquiry from Williamsport brings out the information that n total of 377 men left the services at Williams port, Sunbury, Wilkes-Barre and other points in that region; 214 of which were track laborers, but that their places have all been filled. "The Brotherhood of Federated Railroad Employes which was started only last Fall is not a reresenta tiv: organization of labor in any sense, either as to number or regular ity of its formation. Thus far its ac tivities have been limited to collect ing dues and calling a strike. Its business is conducted mainly by one man, and its membership in good standing does not exceed 2,000 or possibly 2,500 at all points east of Pittsburgh and Erie, out of a total of 139,321 employes, so that its mem bership only represents about 1.5 per cent, of the total number of em ployes. The railroad officials have the as surance of the general officers of the enginemen, firemen, conductors and trainmen's organization that in ac cord with their by-lows and constitu tion, their members will continue to perform their accustomed duties, notwithstanding the claim being made that their members would join the strikers. To do so would be a clear violation of their by-laws and orr~n ization, and of the regulations in ef fect between themselves and the rail road company." Say 65 Per Cent Are Out Figures compiled at the headquar ters of the Brotherhood of Federated Railway employes, 1331 % "is'orth Sixth street to-day, brought the claim from Vice President H. E. Gsell, that fin per cent of the shopmen and main tenance of way men on the Philadel phia and Middle divisions are out. Figures were not given in detail. Vice President Gsell, according to his own words, "not caring to get in wrong on his estimates." He said he could show that the Pennsylvania railroad did not have more than 35 per cent of its shopmen, trackmen and car repairers at work on these two divisions. "With inexperienced men in charge of the work, repairs are not likely to be looked after very carefully. Train men have told me that they do not care to take chances with cars repair ed by men who do not know their business. If the trainmen refuse to work, there of course will be nothing for the engineers and firemen to >lo. "This is not a light for higher wages, Gsell went on, we only want old men who have spent the best part of their lives in working for the interest of the Pennsylvania railroad company recog nized. If the Pennsylvania railroad does not want old men why do they have their pension rule. Why not have a rule requiring men to retire from duties at 50 years. "If one class of workmen has a right to organize, all classes should be granted the same privileges." Gsell said. "I understand from Inter state Commerce officials that Gene/al Manager S. C. Long has conceded the right of men to organize. Why then phould he object to the trackmen and Bhopmen getting together?" We'll See "Who's Who" Outside of planning for the joint meeting in White's Hall, Verbeke street, at 7..'10 to-morrow night and for another parade to-night in which women will again participate, there was little doing at strike headquarters this morning. W. 11. Pierce, president of the Brotherhood of Federated Rail way Employes, remarked: "We are gaining ground. But twenty-four hours more and then we will see 'who's who'. We nro prac tically resting until to-morrow niglit, when men from all transportation brotherhoods will learn of conditions in a fair and square manner. We have assurance from members of these other brotherhoods that they will he on' hand at this meeting. We also know that officials of the various brotherhoods will bo there to say something to us." In last night's parade were twelve women and seventy-five men. They marched over the uptown streets, stopped at the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Federated Hallway Employes in Sixth street and sang "Star-Spangled Banner." They then marched to Seventh street, where they called to the men at work in the shops to come out. The parade was con tinued down Seventh street, out Wal nut to Fourth and down Fourth to Market street. From this point the strikers went to the Mulberry street bridge. The parade to-night will be similar to that of last night.

I 11 on Paxton street bridge by Patrolman Mulligan, the Police Department was appealed to. Colonel Hutchison said. "The men can parade, but they must not block the thoroughfares, which they do when they stop. As long as thev keep moving they cannot start any "trouble, but blocking the bridges, or streets, or crowding on the pavements at shops, roundhouses or corners and interfering with pedes trians will not be tolerated." Another parade will take place to night across the river. The strikers have engaged the Wornileysburg band and will march to West Falrview, where arrangements have been made for an open-air meeting. A further attempt was made this morning to get the men at work near Wornileysburg. It was reported that live men <iuit work to-day. Bitter feeling existed at strike head quarters to-day when two men from Kockville reported that they were liv ing in houses owned by the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company and had been told that they must vacate by evening. Three from Knola reported similar conditions. Reports from West Chester were made to the strikers to-day by rep resentatives who were at. the hearing of the men arrested in Downingtown on Saturday night. The men arrested, including G. Bruno Pezzimento, were represented by AVilliam I'. Loeser as counsel. After hearing the case the men, with the exception of Pezzi mento and three others, were each lined $5 and ordered to pay costs amounting to $3 each, and were dis charged. Pezzimento will be sent back to the penitentiary to serve out his un expired term. At. the Pennsylvania Railroad offices to-day there was very little concern about the strike. Statements were made that all departments are in first class working order and that no delays ar. occurring In getting out shop or repuir work. It was reported that word had been received that heads of two railroad brotherhood organizations had sent letters disclaiming any interest in the strike and refusing to recognize the request of the strikers to join with them. If there were any letters re ceived containing information of this kind, no one had seen any of the mis sives. Two heads of railroad organizations readied Ilurrisburg this afternoon, Valentine Fitzpatrlck, of the Brother hood of Railroad Trainmen, who came from New York, and Arthur J. Lov cll, vice-president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine men. Neither of these officials would say whether they came in answer to the request of the Federated employes or tu inquire into conditions for them selves. No statement was giveu out; nor any intimation made that a state ment would be forthcoming at this time. Vice-President Lovell had ar ranged to meet with members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen this afternoon. It is probable that he will attend the meet ing in White's Hall to-morrow night. MEN AT WORK AT AI/TOOXA Altoona, Pa., May 12. —The failure of the men employed in the Twelfth street shops to respond to the. agitation looking toward a strike among the Pennsy workmen in this city yesterday has blasted the hopes of the strike agitators for the time being at least. The strikers visited the Twelfth street gate in a body, but the shop men did not take kindly to the demon stration, however, and while many of them listened to the speeches made at Ninth avenue and Twelfth street they failed to respond to the. appeals of the agitators who asked them to leave their work and Join the strike. Little Napoleon of a Track Foreman Chases Strikers OH Bridge Down on the Pennsy tracks below the Paxton street bridge yesterday afternoon a score or more laborers were busy and a hundred or more of [the striking. flair-bearing strikers marched down in columns of twos down Second street and out upon the bridge to look them over. The foreman of the working gang wasn't much over five feet, but that didn't seem to bother him a bit. "Into the car tnere. all of you! Hop! Quick! Git in!" he commanded as he saw the marchers coming, and his corps of workers scrambled into the long box car that served as tem porary quarters. From the bridge the strikers called to the workmen below to join them; some of the foreigners in broken Eng lish were insistent. "Da— suck' dam—suck' " they yelled. Then the five-foot foreman strolled up on the viaduct. "Git off'n this bridge!" he command ed briefly. "Shut up!" muttered someone In the crowd. The five-foot foreman flushed a deeper tint. He glared and then swept the group with a wrathful inter rogative finger. "Who's the guy that said that?" he demanded. "Step out—none o' you got a bone in my body seared. Come on —who was the guy that said that?" For a moment he watted, impa tiently. hut none nnswerpd. Then: "GIT OFF'N THIS BRIDGE THEN!" The strikers moved oft the bridu. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH The foreman walked back to his job and ralmly called to the car full of track hands: I "You can come out!" Police Disperse Gang of Striking Foreigners on Mulberry St. Bridge This morning a gang of JOO foreig ners marched to the Mulberry street bridge from the vicinity of Herr and Seventh street, and for 20 minutes th« police say the strikers bullyragged workmen on the tracks of the Penn sylvania railroad. 1 "heir language and actions it is said were not conducive to peace and cap tain of police Joseph P. Thompson with patrolmen Husch and Murphy wmt to the bridge and dispersed the strikers. Subsequently the foreigners again gathered and started across the river where it was said a gang of new men. numbering 50 were working nt Wormleysburg. ! ENGLISHWOMEN'S 11 BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXIONS There is no nation in which the women live as sanely as do the Eng lish and there is no nation in which the skins are as fair and clear. Under perfect, natural conditions a well bal anced life wouldd guarantee a beauti ful and healthy skin. But the ordinary social and economic American life of to-day forces the system to furnish so much vital force for action tiiat nerves, eyes and complexions all suffer. In addition to this strain many women further abuse their skin by covering it with pore-clogging powder instead of doing the wise thing—that is, using a lotion which protects and smooths, without choking the pores. The reason complexions suffer so much in summer is because powder does not ofTer sufficient protection against the hot sun. A plain spurmax lotion not only safeguards the skin from the elements, but in itself Is a beautlfier of great worth. To prepare this lotion at home, dissolve 4 ounces spurmax from druggist's In & pint hot water (or witch hazel) and add' 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine. This applied to the skin becomes invisible and Im parts a velvety softness and dainty tint to a rough, faded skin, relieving that shiny, oily appearance, and its use will insure a clear, lovely com- Dlexion. - If READ THE WONDERFUL STORY OF "Lucille Love, the Girl of Mystery" 1 Now Appearing Exclusively in This Paper And See the Beautiful Photo Play as produced by the Universal Film Manufacturing Company and is now on exhibition at leading moving picture theaters in this city and vicinity > Try Telegraph Want Ads MAY 12,1914.
