If the strike conies the town expects to go on short rations, to lighten its bell, and make an awful outcry. Al ready the preliminary sounus uie be ing registered. Trie dry goous men have sent a telegram to the President begging him to do his utmost to bring the 4uu,ouo railroad men and 225 rail road managers to terms. The commuting problem will be one of the most severe results of a stop page of traffic. The New York Cen tral, New iiaven, Pennsylvania, Cen- I tral Railroad of New Jersey, Lacka wanna, Erie, West Shore and Lehigh V alley bring into town every morning and bear out at night 450,u00 subur banites. Eight hundred and Mtty trains are in uaily operation to handle commuters. Haul 50,000,000 Tons a Year | Every day in the year there is in movement lrom Do,uou,uoo to b0.000,- 000 tons of treight tlirougnout the country. A large slice of this goes to New York. New York's share con sists of the clothing It wears, the food It cats, the milk It drinks and the coal with which it is wai-meu. From the railroad point of view the greatest suffering a beleaguered New l'ork would feel would be in the halt ing of its coal supply. The deprivation threatened by the anthracite strike of several years ago would become an actuality. The town would bo shut off from the thousands of tons of fuel it consumes dally to keep its internal machinery running. A dietetic reform probably would sweep over New York should the rail road brotherhoods resist the President. Cold storage foods are «ot plenteous enough to feed the metropolis. Hope In Jersey ami I.ong li slant! It is estimated that Long Island and nearby New Jersey can keep New York alive on a limited diet if it can get its products into town. For this it does not have to rely altogether cn the railroads because trolley lines that have their terminals on Manhattan's two rivers form a network through New Jersey and Long Island. He con siders himself poor indeed, does the farmer nowadays, if he has not a small motor truck to carry his green goods to the market. Milk is a different problem. Most of the supply that feeds the town's in fants and colors the coffee comes from New England and Pennsylvania. Thus Its delivery here becomes a railroad problem. Railroads Now Congested At this season of the year the rail roads are congested with shipments of manufactured goods, most of them consigned to New York department stores for the Fall trade.

HARRISBUHG TELEGRAPH Yesterday Was the Birthday Anniversary of— * v, Wglgßm DR. C. M. EWING Dr. Ewing Is celebrating his seventy fixth birthday at his home, 1500 North Sixth street. He has been practicing medicine for the past fifty-one years. He was born in Ligonier Valley. Westmoreland county, and was grad uated from the Philadelphia Univer sity of Medicine and Surgery in the class of IS6B. He has been a resident of this, city for fifteen years. I within a short time. It is just at this time too that the town gets the last of its summer fruit crops. As a rule both of these kinds of goods are off the rails by September to make way for the shipments of grain from the West. Should the gruin remain in Western warehouses the ef-" feet of such stoppage would be l'elt as far away as Bagdad, because much of this year's crop already has been sold to the allies. More appreciably than the tempor ary inactivity of grain shipments, the allies would feel the cutting off of their munitions supplies, which now are Mowing to them in hundred carload lots every day. Now preferential de liveries of ammunition would be made if possible. However, this is the situa tion that will face the railroad men: If there is a strike they will have a force of men that will represent only j a small fraction of the 400,000 work ers who will quit. These men must be employed first to run the necessary trains. In this class is included, first, the mail tra'.ns; second, the troop 'transportation trains; third, the trains ■ bearing food to supply the militia on I the border; fourth, milk trains and trains of necessary toou suplies for large communities; fifth, main pas senger trains. Nation's Food Comes First As a consideration after these trains i have been manned the munition trains will come next. Slioulct the roads at tempt to run ammunition before there is a distribution of the country's wheat there will be an immense clamor all over the country, railroad men appreciate. There will be cnti | clsm, no matter what course is taken, | for the munition trains if their opera tion obstructs other business. I If the trains bearing manufactured goods are run it will be at a sacrifice Si! ASTRICH' S 11 Fourth and Market Sts.
