He also at tended the conventions of the Cumber land Valley Volunteer Firemen's Asso- I elation. ' * LOCAL K. K. OFFICIALS -■ DO NOT BELIEVE THERE WILL BE A BIG STRIKE While local Pennsylvania railroad | and Philadelphia and Reading Rail-. way officials were to-day of the belief! that there would be no strike, there was evidence of activity. Officials would not say anything further than "we are ready If the strike comes." That timely precautions were being ■ taken was not denied, but the plans'i to be carried out in the event of a strike, were not divulged. Both the Pennsy and Reading companies are lining up their police forces and spe cial Instructions will be given as to guarding property as soon as the strike is on. ! The Pennsylvania railroad has from 3.000 to 5,000 cots, cooking utensils l and other equipment ready for service in case o fa strike. The second lloors; of the shop buildings will be turned into housing quartern for the loyal i men who remain on duty. It was also reported to-day that the I emergency schedules arranged last> lall when a strike was also threaten ed. would be brought out to-day. No special announcement has been made regarding the handling of freight in j the event of a strike. Brotherhoods Get Olilcrs Secret orders reached the head of 1 the local brotherhood organizations i to-day, but will not be made public at! this time. Brotherhood men were not! very conspicuous to-day. preferring to I remain at home to avoid unnecessary j arguments. They have given no evi de of their intentions and will not dis- 1 cuss the strike question. Some were | of the belief that President Wilson will i prevent a walkout. In a statement I issued from Philadelphia President A. T. Dice, of the Reading, says: "The Philadelphia and Reading Railway is prepared us well ns can be expected and does not expect any j serious delay in the movement of Its j tralns during the strike. I believe the; majority of our men will rcmuln | 10.va1." From Pennsylvania railroad head- i quarters in Philadelphia came the fol-! lowing: "We intend to, operate our trains in j proportion to the number of men who i remain with us. Naturally if we are ! faced with a strike we are going to j light to win."

It r.iav come through the power of the courts, but 1 believe u way will be found." Pittsburgh Railways Plan to Avert Trouble By Ass.tciat'J Press Pittsburgh, March 16. Railroads entering the Pittsburgh district were preparing to-day for the strike of trainmen which is expected to affect some of them to-morrow night and the remainder on Monday. Baltimore and Ohio officials said they were ready to operate food trains and hoped to keep others going, their line being one of the first to l>e brought under the strike order. The Pittsburgh ami Lake Erie also was preparing for anv eventuality to-morrow night while the emergency organization, formed h\ the Pennsylvania on the lines tust and west of Pittsburgh last August, was said to Ik. ready for service the instant strike order became ef-1 fectlvo on Monday. Threats of a strike have not been; taken seriously by many nianufactur- j ing companies and if a tie-up should come many of them will be compelled to suspend operations almost imme diately because of a lack of raw ma terials.
