LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
i J
As TO THE f.tR STRIKE
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
We wish to call the public's atten
tion to the street c«r .-trike situation,
it appears that some of the people be
iiove that the strike is off. we wish to
inform you that the strike is still on.
Although Mr. Musser and Felix Davis
would lead you to believe it is at an
end. Let them tell it, they have cards
in some of the cars saying "that this
car is not being operated by strike
breakers. etc." We wish to State that
such is not true. They are operated
by strikebreakers, and he can make
nothing less out of it. Any man who
takes another man's place while a
strike is on is a strikebreaker, so don't
let the Harrisburg Railways Company
lead you to believe anything different,
just look at all of the accidents that
are happening every day in this city.
They speak for themselves.
On Sunday morning. August 27. in
Front of the St. James hotel a strike
breaker nearly killed a young boy rid
ing on a wheel. The crew laughed
and took it as a joke. That is the
kind of men that are now operating
the street cars; that is the kind of
men who are trying to defeat us men
from getting better conditions and
wages. If some of those men now
operating cars were running cars in
other cities and run over crossings and
switches like they do here they would
at once be taken off their cars by the
city police. For instance they run
over the crossings at Fourth and Mar
ket at full speed. If some of the city
officials were as much interested in
the welfare and safety of the public,
they would have an ordinance passed
to compel the traction company to
operate their cars with more safety
than they do. especially while going
around curves in the heart of the city.
There is not a day passes but that
more or less people are getting in
jured by incompetent men. We again
request all qualified voters, that is
men who voted last Fall, to come to
the courthouse and sign the jitney pe
tition. The city clerk's office will be
open to-day from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m
and the office will be open until and
including August 31. Also, the city
clerk. Mr. Miller agreed that he would
hold his office open on Tuesday even
ing from 6 to 9 at night. So friends,
don't fail to come and sign up. It has
been reported that the company has
been working among some of the
voters trying to get them not to sign
the jitney petition. If that is true the
harder you should work and the more
votes we should receive. Remember
triends that the traction company is
fighting against organized labor and
the working people. Come and sign
the petition and don't think that we
have enough yet. Show the desire of
the public for the jitneys to be re
placed back upon the streets.
Respectfully submitted,
• HUGH L. MCLAUGHLIN,
Pres. Division 709 Car Men's Union.

Men Must Arbitrate
or Strike, Rea's Stand
Washington, D. C., Aug. 23. —
Samuel Rea, president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, made
a statement yesterday regarding
I the strike situation, in which he
1 said:
For the management of tlio
railways to yield to the de
mands and threats of the la
bor organization-., and to ac
cept President Wilson's pro
posal would be to destroy the
principle of arbitration as the
paramount and recognized
method of settling labor dis
putes.
The threatened strike would
be postponed, it is true, but we
would have no assurance that
it would be permanently pre
\entcd.
Except that the principle of
an eight-hour pay day woidd
be conceded, the issues of the
very controversy now pending
would be left unsettled, while
(lie future of the railways
would be rendered dark and
uncertain indeed.
These, in brier, are the rea
sons why the heads of the rail
ways, with a full appreciation
of the solemn and weighty re
sponsibility resting on them, as
well as of their duty to the pub
lit - iuid to their shareholders,
have been forced to the conclu
sion that it is better to face the
alternative of a strike than to
surrender.

EXPECT STRIKE
IS LOCAL BELIEF
Railroad Men Report Activity
at Local Shops and Round
houses
Local railroad officials of the Penn
sylvania railroad, it is reported, antici
pate a strike. While they will not ad
mit it. they do not deny there is con
siderable activity at the local shops
and roundhouses in preparation for a
strike. For the past six weeks car
penters have been busy erecting bunks,
tables and apartments for cooking.
Heads of various departments have
been instructed to be ready for orders,
making it compulsory to remain on
duty until relieved. Employes who
are likely to be thrown out of employ
ment should a strike come, it is report
ed, are being signed up for duty as
special officers. Five engineers who
were retired within the past year have
been approached and asked if they
would return to duty, should there be
a strike, is one report in circulation
to-day.
At Enola there is also evidence of
preparedness. Trainmen are packing
their belongings in the cabin cars and
getting readv for a return to the farm
or home. This activity, it is said, is
mostly on the part of extra men and
: young brakemen who have I een doing
i regular duty for the past six months.
A report reached railroad circles to
' day that the Pennsylvania Railroad
' company has also been busy at all
points between New York and Pitts
burgh; that a canvass has been made of
the employes and the officers know
almost to a man how many trains can
be run should there be a strike.
PI NNSY BUSY AT POTTSVILLE
Pottsville property of the Penn
sylvania Railroad is undergoing con
siderable improvement. A new bridge
has just been opened in that city, the
machine shops at Mount Carbon' have
received new equipment, a large
freight and office building was opened
recently and now the Pottsville station
is to be improved. A cement walk
and driveway, 20 feet wide and 500
feet long, will be included in the im
provement.

The situation waj viewed on all j
| sides as the most perilous since the j
| negotiations began two weeks ago. |
The hope of the President and admin
istration leaders was in the possibility j
of getting the brotherhood men to give
! more time to continue the negotia
tions.
Reply to Ilea
! The four brotherhood heads issued
j a statement replying to President Rea
of the Pennsylvania, who last night
made an announcement that rather
; than give up arbitration the roads pre
j ferred to face a strike. The statement
charged the Pennsylvania with incon-
I sistency in that two years previous It
fought the efforts ,of its shopmen to
i organize and arbitrate. It also de
[ clared that as the controlling Interest
' in five smaller roads it has refused
j them representation on the managers'
• conference committee and that if ar
bitration were agreed upon it would
! not apply to these roads.
Resigned to remaining in Washing
ton to undertake any legislation neces
: sary in the railroad crisis, members of
the Congress to-day were studying the
problem and wailing word from Pres
; Ident Wilson.
I No one except senators who have j
been in conference with the President, 1
has any definite idea of what he may
ask Congress to do. Many of
i both houses, however, have idea!* of
their own.
Federal Receiverships
Some progressive Republican scna
-1 tors declared that In their opinion in
the event of a strike the President
I would ask Congress to direct federal j
1 receiverships to oporate the railroads
during the conflict. Probability of leg- 1
I islatio.n for government ownership,
was too remote to be considered in :
this crisis, they declared.
Compulsory arbitration, they think ,
might be provided but never would;
I be enforced.
House leaders have no program.
1 j Chairman Adamson, of the commerce
commit Pee, said nothing was deter
, mined upon.
I Republican Leader Mann is watch
j ing the situation closely. He proposed
lust winter that Congress authorize an
investigation of railroad wages.
1 ' Senator Kern, the majority leader,
i. said all hope of adjournment next
Friday has been abandoned. President
' Wilson's personal efforts to mediate
differences between the union brother
hoods and the managements apparent
i ly had failed, but administration lead
! ers In Congress were intently consider
tin legislation which would make a
j strike improbable at this time.
Strike Orders Circulated
A joint sesfc'.on of Congress to near
the President's statement of the situ
! ation was in prospect, following Mr.
Wilson's visit to the Capitol last night
to confer with Senator Kern, the ma
jority leader.
The course of brotherhood was in
the hands of a committee of 24 whom
the entire committee of 640, before
leaving for their homes yesterday, in
structed to listen to no proposal In
volving arbitration of the eight-hour
basic day. Strike orders were being
circulated to, await telegraphic re
i lease.
The counter proposal for arbitration
was to he made to the President to
day by the railroad executives, as their
tlrst definite answer to his suggestion
of a week ago for concessions of the
eight-hour day, with ten hours' pay

It was reported President Wilson
was considering asking both sides to
postpone action for a certain period.
Meanwhile it might be possible to en
act legislation similar to the Canadian
law, providing for investigation of
labor disputes by a commission and
forbidding strikes or lockouts pending
Incjuiry. This course was being dis
cussed seriously, with the possibility
that it would be put into immediate
effect, thus preventing a strike without
adequate public investigation.
