TROOP ENTRAINS IN RECORD TIME [Continued From First Page] order slips on file In the offices of Division Superintendent W. B. Mc- Caleb, of itself tells a complete story in preparedness. Here are some of the figures culled from Triat sheaf: At 7; 15 oVlnclf were received at the railroad head quarters to have a stocl; car—one equipped for carrying horses—a com bination baggage car and coach, and two day coaches ready for the move ment of troops as early as possible. Preparing the stock car for passen ger service requires time under any circumstances. Passenger safety de vices have to be attached, steam heat connections made and a hundred and one other little details of inspection, etc., have to be looked to in the car shops before such a car Is ready for service In a passenger train. However at 1:50 this morning the car was ready and waiting on the Maclay street sid ing. Just forty minutes later, the coaches and the combination car were coupled on. In the meantime, three baggage cars were being prepared for loading camp equipment and other supplies at Market street and by 4:10 o'clock these cars were waiting. At 4:10 a. ni. the troop train pulled away from Maclay street station: at 5:05 the camp train followed. So much for the Pennsy's share In the big program of troop handling. With Kar to Phono Throughout yesterday members of the Governor's Troop and the infan trymen of Companies D and I read the news dispatches from the western part of the State with more than ordi nary interest; and few, if any, made any plans to go far from home. Nearly everybody remained close to a phone. Shortly after 8 o'clock. Captain George C. Jack, commander of the Troop, after a conference with the Adjutant General, left the Capitol for the armory and began calling up num bers on a telephone list. These were the residences of the other commis sioned officers, and the sergeants and corporalß—"squad leaders"—of the Troop. "Report at once to the armory for strike duty!" was the cryptic, monot onous message that flashed from mouthpiece to receiver over the wires. The Call Sergeants notified their corporals, corporals got in touch with each mem ber of their squads. Tn the street, in the barber shop, on the porch, in the den in slippers and housecoat, in the moving picture shows, in the theaters, at a dance hall or two. In the pool room and cigar store—faster than electricity could carry the order, flashed from trooper to trooper. Half an hour later, civilian-clad youths were hurrying to the old church in State street that Is the home of the Troop. Ever been 'round an armory when the civilian soldiers are preparing for what has all the earmarks of real service? Ever watch Uncle Sam's regulars go about the same job at. an army post? In the Day's Work There's little difference except fiARRISBURG rfSjllfl TELEGRAPH (hat the regular fellows <lo it more as if it were all in the clay's work; there I isn t that quiet exuberance about it j with them as characterizes the actlv : ity of the husky youths of the National j Guard. The scenes about the Troop | armory last evening might have been | mighty interesting to military observ jers. t-nited States Army and—for | elgn. i Of course. SHE had to be there to weep a little. Wives and children I surely were out in force; here and I " r "" HUM I In, ivri I' nhiinli. j worried but didn't like to show it. i And there were a whole lot of sisters present, too. although very few were ] busy with that job—being sisterly, that is. At the Armory Nearly every trooper responded to the call to quarters, although Captain Jack himself used the phone freely in order that none might be missed. While the troopers changed swiftly from modishly-dressed youths into olive-drabbed. putteed soldiers, the quartermaster's department was busy dealing out blankets, light marching kits, shelter tents, etc. Ample supplies of ammunition, ever ready for service at the armory, were packed away for distribution enroute. Rifles and sabers were inspected and exultant troopers buckled on auto matics and spurs. With his campaign hat pulled down over his eyes, Cap tain Jack coolly puffed away at a cigar and issued the hundred and one instructions that got the Troop ready for the saddle in such short order How They Got "the Word" Some quaint stories of how the troopers got "the word" were chuckled over, as the men changed from civilian to soldier s clothes. One man was only half shaved when a companion excitedly whispered the tip; another quit elaborate preparations for a dif ficult shot across a pool table, laid down his cue and hurried to the ar mory; still another anxiously con sulted his physician .about an opera tion his Mife was about to undergo and reluctantly answered the call; a corporal, a happy groom of but two days, took rather a heart-breaking leave of his new little wife—so the story was told in the barracks, at any rate. And at that there were some "left behinds." Early this morning a corporal cussed his luck that he was out of town last night und never knew of the call until he saw to-day's papers; he pulled on a pair of stout army shoes while two other fully-clad fel low troopers buckled on sabers and automatics In hurried preparation to catch the first train for Tyrone Homestead Memories For these men, horses were pro vided upon their arrival. The officers looked to that. For instance, when lieutenant George W. H. Roberts got word in his Steelton home last even ing. he promptly got in touch with a Steelton liveryman and asked him to "send all the horses available up to the Troop armory in Harrisburg at once." And Liveryman Heagy sent up a string of eight. The strike district is not without its memories for some of the older Guardsmen. Across the hills from Braddock is the little town of Home stead.

Cleveland Carmen Unable to Agree With Company; Will Take Strike Vote Ry Associated Press Cleveland, Ohio, May 3.—With a difference of $403,000 in wages for two years between the carmen's de mands and the offer of the Cleveland Railway Company officials, union lead ers to-day were seeking a hall for mass meetings of the men to-night, when a strike vote will be taken. Both sides made concessions at con ferences held late yesterday under the direction of Mayor Harry JJ. Davis, who is trying hard to avert a strike without endangering 3-cent fares. To day the Mayor said: "I wouldn't bet either way on the question of whether there will be a strike. I know that the final word has been said as far as the city and the company are concerned. More concessions will endanger 3-cent fare and the administration does not intend to permit that." Cannot Agree The men originally demanded 40 cents an hour and a minimum day of eight hours for 90 per cent, of the men. The company offered 30 cents for first-year men and 33 cents for others at once and a further increase of a cent an hour to all May J. 1917. The men now get 29 and 32 cents. At last night's conferences the men re duced their demands to 32 and 35 cents an hour, with a minimum day of five hours now and eight hours May 1, 1!>17, also asking twentv minutes' pay for taking cars into and out of barns and time for making tri:is to barns for relief work. The company offered 3 1 and 34 cents now. with 32 and 35 cents May 1. 1917, and a five-hour minimum day. but refused the other demands. The company says Its proposition MAY 3, 1016. means a wage increase of $532,000 in two years, while the men's demands total $930,000 in two years. New York Central Will Refuse Operators Demands; May Strike Tomorrow By Associated Press New York, May 3.—The demands of telegraphers and signalmen on the lines of the New York Central and Nickel Plate railroads for increased wages and better hours will not be granted, it was announced here to-day by A. T. Hardin, a vice-president of the New York Central. A strike, which, according to the employes, would involve G.OOO men, had been set to begin to-morrow, but H. B. Perham, president of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, said that reasonable time would be granted the railroad officials to give further con sideration to the demands. Mr. Hardin would not discuss pub- I lished reports that the roads have been rushing men to various cities between I here and Chicago to act as strike i breakers should the telegraphers and signalmen walk out. "The New York Central is a public service corporation and any strike would not affect operation of train serviie." Mr. Hardin said. "W» .in not expect that men will quit except in a few isolated cases. We have offered to meet them and to deal fairly with them, and if they decide to strike we shall have other men ready to fill their places. There will be no interruption of schedules." Governor's Orders Follow Reiteration of Demand For Troops by Sheriff Richards The call for the National Guurds men to go into service was issued last night about 10:40. In the afternoon Governor Brumbaugh, who had been asked for troops by Sheriff Richards, conferred with Adjutant General Stewart and Attorney General Brown, leaving at 4:35 p. ni. for Haston. The Governor arranged to be kept inform ed by telephone and when the sheriff reiterated his demand for troops the men were ordered out. Sheriff Richards sent two telegrams outlining the situation and asking for troops. The first came at 3:28 and was as follows: J Situation in Allegheny county is ab jxolutel.v beyond our control. Already bloodshed and destruction of property j against our strongest resistance. As j Sheriff I now demand from you such I assistance and help as is authorized by law. [ To this the Governor replied: George \V. Richards. Sheriff of Al legheny county, Pittsburgh, Pa. Your telegram received stating that the situation in Allegheny county is absolutely beyond your control, that already there has been bloodshed and destruction of property against your strongest resistance as Sheriff, and demanding from the Governor such assistance and help as is authorized by law. The preservation of law and order is primarily the duty of the Sheriff, and it is requested that you advise the Governor what you have done as Sheriff; how many deputies have you placed on duty, and what other steps have you taken to preserve the public peace? Advise fully as to what destruction of property has oc curred and how many lives have been lost, and give full information as to the riotous assemblages that you state have interfered with the public peace and that are now beyond your con trol. The Governor must have com plete justification for the use of State troops. MARTIN G. BRUMBAUGH, Governor. Before Richards replied there came telegrams from H. B. Miller, burgess of North Braddock; G. C. Watt, presi dent Braddock Trust company; Jerry 3 l-utz, chief of police of Rankin bor jough and A. L,eo Weil, counsel for i Employers' Association. The latter telegram was voluminous and set forth in detail the occurrences of the J day and the fear of further disor ders ami destruction of property. Tells ol' Mob's Actions. | About 9 p. m. Richards replied in I a long telegram which recounted in detail the actions of the mob, the plants attacked, the loss of life and the damage done, closing with the following: | "With the limited force of men ! which we have been able to assem ble to meet this tumult the riotous condition can not be broken up or ! suppressed and unless immediate ac jtion can be taken the destruction of ! properly running into millions of dol ! lars will doubtless result and many | lives sacrificed. We have exhaust ed the full limit of the law and again call upon you as chief executive and head of the military department, of this commonwealth to protect this community against further violence, •destruction of property and loss of j life."
