RAILROAD RUMBLES TRAINMEN DENY STRIKE RUMOR Current Number of Official Journal Explains Wage Demands Referring to the demands of the transportation brotherhoods for short er hours and Increased wages. The Railroad Trainmen, official organ for the B. of R. T. denies that a strike ballot is being taken. The Journal In the current Issue prints the follow ing: "It must be understood that this Is not a strike ballot. It Is an expres sion, which, If voted for, authorizes the Chief Executives and the commit tees to present the demands included in the ballot to the railway companies and to represent the men on all ques tions that may arise in connection with the presentation. "This proposition does not include passenger service. Road and yard service of all classes are included in the proposed eight-hour basic day and time and one-half for overtime. This means that the road mileage rate will be increased from 10 to 12% miles an hour. In all road service, 100 miles or less, eight hours or less, will consti tute a day, and overtime will com mence after eight hours on runs of this character. On runs of over 100 miles, overtime will begin when the time on duty exceeds the miles run divided by 12% miles per hour. Favors Slow Train Men "If this proposition Becomes effec tive, it will mean more to the man on the drag than to the man on the pre ferred run. The drag and other slow trains that do not make the miles within their time limit will profit. The man whose miles are made at a great er speed than the time limit will not profit. This means that the man on ! the slowest, most exacting, time-kill ing job will receive the greatest ad vantage. The man on fast freight seldom will have his miles exceeded by the time limit. The proposition as it applies to the yards means eight hours within eight hours, at the pres ent dally rate. "What will be done by the railways to beat the plan after it becomes operative cannot even be guessed at this time. If our men are consistent in asking for the shorter workday, it will be time enough to figure out how to apply it after we get It. Sonic Reductions "There may be instances where both road and yard crews will experience, some slight reduction in earnings due to loss of overtime, particularly in yards that now work men above the 10-hour day. It may even be assumed that in certain districts, where there are jobs that regularly work above 10 hours, a rearrangement may be made to save the payment of overtime, which would mean the loss of revenue to the man who is now working more than the normal 10-hour day. But will he, with the possible loss of revenue to begin with, be satisfied to continue to place eight hours with 10 hours' pay against the present practice of 10 hours for the sake of the extra time? The latter proposition means a voluntary wage reduction per hour in order to work overtime." Safety First Records Show Less Accidents Last Year The greatest improvement in safety of railroad operation ever recorded for a single year is shown in the an nual accident bulletin of the inter- State commerce commission, which has just been Issued. This betterment is credited to the safety first move ment, to improvement of facilities of various kinds and to the slump in traffic caused by the business depres sion of the first half of the year. The total number of casualties was 170,661 including 8,621 killed and 162,040 injured. The total number of passengers killed, 222, out of 1, 000.000.000 carried was less than for any year since 1898. RATI,ROAD XOTKS An average of 1,700 cars is being loaded daily at the Reading mines. On Saturday a train was moved every twenty-six minutes out of the Rutherford yards. A total of 4,125 cars were moved during the day. No new schedule will be issued by the Pennsylvania Railroad until May. W. J. Myers, clerk in the Pennsyl vania Railroad freight office at York, was in Millersburg yesterday attending the funeral of a relative. Tjeroy R. Hasson, of Juniata, em ployed as a brakenian on the Pitts burgh division of the Pennsylvania railroad, on Tuesday night was knocked from his train and instantly killed. A widow, one daughter and one brother survive. J. A. Ringlanxl, foreman of the Enola roundhouse, is being boosted for president of the Enola Baseball I.eague. His team won the champion shin last year. W. H. Bogue, agent for the Am erican Express Company at York has been transferred to Philadelphia. He will be succeeded by H. K. Ryman of Cumberland, Md. The Western Maryland is erecting an electric automatic block system on all lines. The Union Pacific Railroad Com pany has ordered 10 switch engines from the Baldwin Company, Phila delphia. St. Paul Railroad has ordered 30,- 000 tons of steel rails from the United States Steel Corporation. Work has started on the connecting link of the Baltimore and Ohio and Western Maryland railroads at Con nellsville. It Is reported that 1400 cars are i stored in Northumberland yards. | They cannot be moved until further j embargoes are lifted. Hair Often Ruined By Washing With Soap Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulslfled cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim ply moisten the hair with water and rub It in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly,, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulslfled coooanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem ber oC the family for months.—Ad vertisement. PREPAREDNESS IS NEW P. R.R. POLICY Equips Trains For Emergency Service; Deny Prospective Strike Is Factor "Preparedness" has been made a part of the "Safety First" program ol the Pennsylvania Railroad. At Altoona shops old Pullman cars are being transformed to sleeping and eating quarters for men. These oars will be made up of special trains of from six to eight cars each and one train will be stationed at each terminal, to ba used In case of emergency. Officials deny that this preparation is an indication that they expect a strike as a result of the recent de mands for higher wages and shorter hours. These cars, it is said, are for the use of men who may be called from one division to another to repair damages caused by floods, fires or other destroying elements. That these trains are simply a combination of commissary and sleeping cars, to be used when large forces of men are called out. There are fifty ears at Altoona shops undergoing alterations. Each train will be equipped to accommodate 200 men. One car on each train will be used as a kitchen and to take care of supplies. Other cars will be divided into eating and sleeping quarters. The trains will be-stationed at Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Altoona, Philadelphia, New York, Buffalo, Williamsport and Bal timore. President Wilson Special Due Here Saturday Morning President Woodrow Wilson, who is making a tour of the country in the interest of his national defense poli cies, will pass through Harrisburg early Saturday morning en route west. He will travel by special train, which will reach this city from Washington, D. C., about 2.30 o'clock. His schedule requires his presence in Pittsburgh at 9.30 o'clock Saturday morning. Unions Stand Solid on Demands Declares Stone W. A. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, lias issued this statement, which last night was variously interpreted by labor men, according to their personal preferences, as being for or against a national railroad strike, should the companies refuse the demands which the railroad unions are to present: "I am not going to raise any red flag, but I am steadfast in my deci sion to be determined and firm in the demands to be submitted to the rail roads. "For the first time in the history of the railroad unions they are all united. There never has been such a general disposition on the part of the railroad employes of the country to act as a unit. "This was shown at all conferences of the representatives of the various railroad men's organizations that have so far been held on the question of the demands. All international dissen sions were ruled out and all factional and other disputes of any kind which would interfere with the general au tonomy of the'national eight hour movement among the railroad men of the country have been laid aside." Grand Chief Stone is said to hold strongly the opinion that if the rail roads could once be convinced that the memberships of the railroad broth erhoods of the country were really de termined to work solidly together for an eight-hour day even to the extent of a national strike to gain it, they will make the concessions asked. With the balloting on the eight-hour day referendum atill going on in the 4,000 lodges of t! e four great railroad unions all over thj country reports yes terday were that the leaders of those unions were more confident than ever that their plan of federation would go through and that with the unions united the railroads would have to capitulate. Sues Pennsy For $20,000 Under Federal Liability Act Suit has been filed in the Middle District of the United States District [Court against the Pennsylvania Rall iroad Company in the sum of $2 0,000 by Earle E.

To Figure on 4 Mills However, It is understood that the county authorities, in fixing the rate, will figure on a four-mill basis—the present tax rate. County officials even went so far to-day to say that the pres ent four-mill rate will li'iely stand for jthe ensuing year. I The estimated appropriations com pare very favorably with the budget [of previous years. Last year $394,- | 167.72 was expended. I The appropriations estimated for 1916 for the various departments of the county government according to Mr. Gough's budget follows: County commissoners, $14,906; treasury, $3,150; controller's office, $4,075; coroner's office, $2,675; dis trict attorney, $8,600; solicitor, $1,504; aldermen and justices of the peace, $8 ,700; constables and police, $14,- 150; assessors, $11,600; bridges, $21,- 000; roads, $11,250; court expense, $30,675; courthouse maintenance, $12.- 580; elections, $18,400; interest and sinking funds, $32,516.65; penal insti tutions. $17,000; care of insane, $28,- iF YOU HAD « J3& NECK AS LONG A 8 THIS FELLOW NA AND HAD /}] SORE THROAI If fr I IdqwiT $1 TONS I LINE I VIL WOUID RELIEVE IT. •A 25c. and 60c.

The Comparisons •i Exclusive of the appropriations for '!the prison hoard and the poor direc . I tors, the estimates expenditures' for , the county amount to some eighteen thousand dollars less than last year. The total for 1916 Is $284,505; for ' 1915 it was $302,898.01; in 1914 it ' was $273,537.87. The commissioners figuring on spending about $352.97 more for ald ermen and justices' costs this year ! than during the past year as $8,700 is appropriated for this purposes for 1916 as compared to $8,352.97 in 1915. • | Less For Koads and Bridges > Less than half as much is appropri ated for bridges for the ensuing year " than in 1915. As compared to an out ' lay of $47,954.66 for that purpose In " 1915, the county au'.horities ilgure 1 that only $21,000 will be needed for ■; bridge building this year. The ex- I pendlture foi* roads will be loss too, it Is estimated. In 1915 the total was . $13,731.88; the road estimates for , 1916 total Just $11,250. In 1915 much j of the bridge building that was started ! in 1914 was finished up however; this . applies also to the construction and maintenance of roads.
