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

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

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.

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.

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. Among the
new items in the budget this year are
S7JiO for salaries for steward and mat
ron at the House of Detention, $1,300
for light, heat, etc., for the same insti
tution; and a contribution of $1,250
for the hospitals.
Revision of the county assessments
will show an'increase in valuations,
it Is believed, but unless there is a de
cided Increase the mill-rate will not be
( reduced. The eighteen thousand dol

• tures is explained by the fact that
about $9,000 was paid out last year
for the South Hanover road construc

. and $3,000 for the Millersburg bridge.
• These were provided for in 1914 but
, were not completed until 1915.
More Pay For Commissioners
Among the salary item increases is
: the pay for the county commissioners.
Under the act of 1915 the palary of
1 these officials is raised from SI,BOO
' annually, to $2,400.
Road improvements that are pro
-1 vided for this year include the up
keep of the "Horseshoe" turnpike east
1 of Hummelstown, and the construction
of the new road in Swatara township
extending from Mohn street, Steelton,
on through Enliaut.
The budget is complete in detail and
is an invaluable help to commissioners
as Mr. Gough has set out all the fig
ures for two years back in parallel
columns.
