RAILROAD RUMBLES
HAVE NO STRIKE;
ADVICE TO MEN
Railroad Journal Declares
Year of Argument Is
Better
Members of the four national
brotherhood organizations represent
ing the train and engine service who
have declared their Intention of de
manding an eight-hour day are ad
vised as follows by the Railroad Em
ployee, a monthly magazine not to
strike:
"Because th® employees' organiza
tions are to make a demand upon the
corporations for an eight-hour day.
does not in our opinion imply the
summary tleing up of traffic on the
45S railroads of the United States, or
even the severance of an understand
ing between the organizations and the
| managements, which It has taken
more than thirty years, not without
sacrifice on either side, to upbuild.
"The eight-hour day, as its provi
sions would apply to every class of
train and engine service, is, at best,
a highly complicated problem, and we
doubt if either the leaders of the em
ployees' organizations formulating
these demands or the railroad man
agers can, at this early stage, satis
factorily explain what It would mean
in either schedule arrangements or
company revenue, were the shorter
workday to obtain: nor is there, to our
understanding, any guarantee in sight
that the eight-hour day, as applied to
road service, would prove as gener
ally satisfactory to the employees as
the present existing arrangements
governing this class of railroad em
ployment.
"And there are other phases bear
ing on the situation which, In our
opinion, will warrant the most
thoughtful and painstaking considera
tion by both sides, in which class pre
judice or political expediency should
play no part, with the thought ever In
mind that in the final analysis the
American public will render a verdict
on the merits of the controversy from
which there can be no appeal.
"Admitting the unquestioned right
of the wage-earner to leave his em
poyment, and conceding that this is
the only available weapon at his com
mand to employ as a last resort when
right, as he may see it, is denied him,
we are entirely in accord with the ex
pression of a man whom we consider
among the ablest students of the labor
problem in America, who is himself
an active member of one of the big
railroad brotherhoods, that "it is bet
ter to argue for a year, than to strike
for a minute,' rather than in sym
pathy with the reported statement of
another leader (hat 'the membership
of his organization must be prepared
to strike in order to secure the eight
hour day.'
"The greatest element of danger
therefore, that presents itself in the
forthcoming controversy, as we see it,
is the action and influence of certain
organization members on the one side
and sundry railroad officials on the
other, who have never participated in
a real strike, and consequently have
no conception of what industrial war
fare fought to the finish really means;
of the misery and privation that
inevitably follow In Its wake, no to
mention the engendered hatred that
a generation cannot efface."
More Freight Embargoes
to Prevent Congestions
Announcement was made yesterday
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Coni
pany that it has again become neces
sary to refuse to accept for shipment
freight for New England and for de
livery in the New York district. The
recent rapid accumulation of freight
has been due to a number of causes,
not the least of which was the dense
fog hanging over the waters around
New York the past few days.
The New York, New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad, because of the fog and
because of an accumulation of freight
on its own lines, has been unable for
some time past to take from the
Pennsylvania Railroad its normal
number of cars. The result has been
that to-day there are on the' Pennsyl
vania Railroad approximately 5000
cars awaiting delivery.
The general congestion In the New
York district and on the railroad be
tween West Morrisvllle, Pa., and Jer
sey City, has made it impossible to
expedite the delivery of freight to
local points on the New York divi
sion. The result of all of the above
is that to-day there are approximately
25,000 cars of freight on this rail
road, destined to points east of Tren
ton or for delivery to other lines at
junction points east of that point.
The new embargo is on all kinds of
freight routed in the congested terri
tory except livestock, perishable
goods, foodstuffs for human consump
tion, consignments to United States
Government officers and fuel supply
coal consigned direct to railroads.

Los Angeles, Oal., Jan. 2'..—A romance of the art world here will result
in the marriage of Dana Bartlett, an artist of note, and Miss Lucy B. Seator,
instructor in music at the University of Southern California. They met for
the first time six weeks ago.
Artistic temperament and the admirationl of each for what they re
garded as genius in the other is the magnet that drew the painter and Miss
Seator together. Each is twenty-four years of age.
Bartiett, who is also an accomplished musician, met Miss Seator during
a lecture on voice culture, Miss Seator being the piano soloist and Bartlett
giving a cello solo.
Since that time Bartlett has been a constant visitor at the Seator home,
and the couple have just announced the news of their engagement.
Bartlett's keen interest in the young woman became known to her first
when, in visiting his studio with her mother, she discovered him working
on a portrait of her from memory.
