PREPARE TO COPE
WITH STRIKE MOBS
Policemen Placed at Strategic
Points Along N. Y. Trolley
System
New York, Sept. 22. Repeated
threats of a great general strike to
help the striking street car employes
caused all branches of the city govern
ment charged with enforcing the laws
*to prepare to-day for outbreaks of
mob violence. Mayor Mitchel's notice
that he stood ready to invoke all the
civil and military power at his com
mand to suppress disorder was fol
lowed by greater police activity and
a. warning that persons convicted of
engaging ln strike riots would re
ceive heavy punishment.
The police department told the trac
tion companies that they could re
establish night service as soon as they
were ready under assurance of ade
quate protection. Thus far 6,700 po
licemen have been disposed at strategic
points. This police guard includes a
patrol of fifty automobiles and 100
motorcyclists along the most exposed
car routes.
Vote on Generul Strike
Trade union leaders representing
about 700,000 workers will meet this
afternoon to decide whether to issue
a call for a general strike. Some of
the labor leaders said such a strike, if
ordered, would begin Monday or Tues
day. The call, they said, would be
based on the ground that organized
wage-earners should not ride in cars
manned by strikebreakers. The early
morning bombardments of elevated
trains were resumed however, strike
sympathizers lurking on rooftops
throwing bricks and bottles which
shattered car windows. Several pas
sengers were injured in sixteen attacks
by the police.
The plan announced yesterday by M.
J. Regan, of the State Board of Arbi
tration and Mediation, to enforce arbi
tration was temporarily abandoned to
day and the hearings which he an
nounced would be held Monday have
been postponed. The question will be
taken up, it was announced, at a meet
ing of the State Industrial Commission
Tuesday.
Believe Businessmen Will
Be Able to Stand Shock
of European Competition
New York, Sept. 22. American
businessmen aided by the Federal Re
serve Bank system, will be able suc
cessfully to withstand the shock of
European competition after the war
in the opinion of Charles Hamlin,
member and former governor of the
Federal Reserve Board. His views
were expressed at the annual dinner
of the Institute of Accountants last
night. He said, in part:
_ "I estimate that, the wealth of the
United States has increased during the
last two years by $40,000,000,000.
Bank deposits have increased be
tween $6,000,000,000 and $7,000,000,-
000 and the stock of gold has increas
ed more than $700,000,000. Since the
first of the year the importations of
gold have amounted to $460,000,000.
"No nation in the world has ever
enjoyed the prosperity that this coun
try now enjoys."
RAISE FOR GLASS WORKERS
Pittsburgh, Sept. 22.—Substantial in
crease in wages for workers in the
> liand window glass of the
country was decided upon to-day at a
conference held in Cleveland' between
the wage committee of the National
Window Glass Workers Association
and representatives of the factories,
according to official advices received
here. The new scale becomes operative
October 25, when the factories are to
resume operations after the summer
shutdown, and provides for an increase
of 20 per cent, for single strength plus
10 per cent, for single strength blow
ers only. The increase for double
strength is 16% per cent. The advance
is to apply on the 1915-16 brackets,
the standard set for work in the year
just closed. The new scale will affect
approximately 5,000 men.

NEWS OF STEELTON
Constable and Mrs. Peter R. Day Wed Fifty Years
MHBaM
CELEBR ATE THEIR
GOLDEN WEDDING
Constable and Mrs. Day Re
ceive Congratulations From
Host of Friends
A host of friends of Constable and
Mrs. Peter R. Day, 387 Myers street,
are showering the pair with congratu
lations and felicitations. It was just
fifty years ago, September 16, that
the couple were wed in Highspire. A
few days ago their two children and
four grandchildren with a few inti
mate friends were guests at a dinner
In honor of the golden wedding an
niversary.
Constable Day is known to every
one in Steelton as the faithful guar
dian of the peace in the Fifth ward
for more than 18 years. Although
his biliwick is cosmopolitan, Con
stable Day has always succeeded in
preserving order at the expense of
less costly cases in court than per
haps any other officer, his friends say.
In a reminiscent mood yesterday
Mr. Day told a little group in the
office of Squire J. L. Dickinson of the
early clays in Steelton. When he mar
ried Constable Day was employed at
a large sawmill then standing in the
lower end of Harrisburg, near Pax
ton street—a place long since aband
oned. Later he accepted a position
with the Pennsylvania Steel Company
and for years trucked the Steel Com
pany Island in the Susquehanna. For
a short time he worked in the steel
plant and later became constable.
When Mr. and Mrs. Day were mar
ried Steelton was farm land and many
a time, declares the constable, he
hunted rabbits where the rail mill now
stands.

of George Cox Accidental
After hearing the testimony of the
crew in charge of the trolley car

Better Go Early
If you're not "down," "up," or "In"
town to-night at 7 o'clock or there
abouts, you might just as well not
| bother, unless you don't care to get
ja good place to see. For the indica
tions are that even breathing room
is going to be at a premium most
any place in Market Square.
Following a conference to-day with
Chief of Police Wetzel, P. H. Bailey,
chairman of the street cabaret com
mittee announced that arrangements
had been completed to stop all auto
mobile traffic entering the Square
from the south. Parking of cars will
not be permitted below Market
street.
Until twilight makes it necessary to
quit. Street Foreman Charles Ray
mond will have a busy force of men
of the city highway bureau busily
sweeping tho asphalt so that it will
be in good shape to receive the corn
meal that is to be spread for the
benefit of the dancers. The roping
oft of the southwestern section of the
Square will be started at 7:30 o'clock
and about that hour the ten police
men specially detailed for the purpose
will go on duty. And furthermore
they will keep everybody who isn't
dancing—on the outside of the ropes.
A score or more of the "marshals"
who have been appointed for the pur
pose by the Chamber of Commerce
will assist.
Where the Lights Blaze
'Round about 8 o'clock the giant
"floodlights" which have been ob
tained from the Harrisburg Light and
Power Company by tho Jovian League
for the purpose will be turned into the
Square from the top of the Bell tele
phone building. Merchants around
tho Square and on the route of the
fantastic parade incidentally have
been requested to set red-fire going
as the parade passes. The marshals
who will form the "guard of honor"
for the parade have been directed to
report at 8 o'clock at the . Chamber
of Commerce for badges, instructions
etc.
The parade is due to form at 8:15
at Front and Chestnut streets and to
march a quarter of an hour later. At'
9 o'clock the cabaret which has.
been holding forth in the Columbus
hotel and which has been loaned to!
the committee for a party of the
evening program, will entertain. The
Stieff Piano Company, by the way, has
offered the use of a piano.
No Trolleys in Square
Beginning at 9:30 o'clock the trol
ley service into the south side of the
Square will stop and cars ordinarily
moving into the regular terminal by
that route will stop until 11:30 at
Fourth and Market streets.
If you're hesitating at all about
costuming for the fantastic parade and
dance, would it help you to decide if
you knew that handsome silver cups
will be awarded by the Chamber of
Commerce to the maseuline and
