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.

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. -
