MORE PAY FOR
PASSENGER MEN
Rates to Be Formulated; Em
ployes Will Ballot First
on Demands
New York, Sept. 21.—Higher pay
for railroad conductors, trainmen,
engineers and firemen working in the
passenger service is to be demanded.
The four brotherhoods, which,
within a year, twice threatened and
were prepared to precipitate a na
ticn-wide strike aiming to stop all
railroad traffic as the means to en
force the eight-hour base workday,
will back the new demand. In the
l&st fight they won what averaged
about 20 per cent, higher pay to men
In the freight service. The increase
amounts to some $60,000,000 per an
num for all railroads in the country.
In that victory the passenger serv
ice men got comparatively little. But
they stood in to support the campaign
and were committed to strike should
the brotherhood leaders give the or
der, Now the freight service men
will be asked to back their co-work
ers in the passenger service.
Kfforts Under Way
Already the movement is afoot.
The brotherhood official organiza
tions have voted, as to the west and
the south, in favor of pressing de
mands on the railroads. Similar ac
tion will roon be taken for the east
ern territory.
That done, the brotherhood officers
will determine what demands to
make and how to press them. It is
expected that the proposition will
base upon a 20 per cent, advance in
all present mileage rates of pay with
a scale of minimum wages for a day.
regardless of the miles covered by
the men.
Such an increase, it is roughly
figured, would add about $15,000,000
per annum to the pay of the pas
senger service men.
Men to Ilallot
When the demands have been
formulated they will be submitted in
ballot form to the brotherhood mem
bers, who will thus vote authority
upon the officers to press the de
mands. It is expected that such a
vote will be taken not later than De
cember. Then, if the railroads do
not yield, the next step vMll be a sec
ond vote to authorize a strike to en
force the demands.
The settlement driven through
early in the year raised the freight
men almost to equality with the bet
ter paid passenger service men. It
will be urged that the former spread
as between the two services should '
be restored. Whether the brother- j
hood chiefs will decide to make the !
campaign now being mapped out a !
national movement remains to be :
?een. Tbere are arguments for and i
against that method.
It now .seems most likely that the j
Rtht will be made in three divisions i
of the country, the Kast. the West, j
the South, probably in one section at I
i time. Or it may be that the broth- I
erhood officers will fall back to the '
old plan of making demands on se- '
lectcf) railroads. I

THE TRUTH ABOUT
GERMANY
*
By MARIE BONINI BROWN
|
Loyalty of the German People to the
Kaiser Is Not Exuberant and En
thusiastic, but a "Second Nature"
—Graft of Shopkeepers.
!
No. 6 —The Kaiser and His People,
One thing impressed me very forcibly and that is, the lack of
! enthusiasm in Germany over the flag, the kaiser, the war or any
! thing else. Of course there was a lot the first year of the war,
I but not this last year.
I'll never forget the second time I saw the
' kaiser. 1 had seen him once, at the beginning
! of the war, on horseback, a great distance oft".
But, just a short time before I came home, at the
time of the great Bethman-Holhveg conference,
the kaiser visited Berlin. That was the first time > Z?
the people had seen him for months. He rode
in a big gray automobile which has a horn not
duplicated all over Germany. No machine but yjp ■. jA
the kaiser's is permitted to have this horn. It fl'.jp, ffSk.
sounds almost like a bugle call. WCj
He sat there very stiff and, of course, was VJi. r
surrounded by soldiers. The people never
cheered. Hundreds of people in the streets
never even stopped to watch him pass. There was no brightness
on their faces, no smiles. They simply looked at him as he rode
along. Thpy don't love the kaiser. Their loyalty, I think, is more
of a mechanical thing to which they have been brought up and
which they have lived until it is second nature. It is like breath
ing to them. We don't particularly care to breathe, but
And I think that is the way with the loyalty of the German
people. When the flags went by the people looked at them. Men
took off their hats, but not with any seeming love. There was
not the light in their eyes, nor in the eyes of the women, such as
we see here when the American Hag is shown.

they would In England or America.
In fact they do not dress for any
events. I have not seen a decollete
gown In Berlin for two years. Neither
have I seen much jewelry among the
former wealthy class. Women who
are shopkeepers, now have more
money than the society women.
There Is a lot of graft In shop
keeping and in Germany as in every
other country, there always ara

I attended grand opera several
times in Berlin and saw practically

and skirts and even those who
dressed the best, wore what would

with all the German efficiency, It
seems that this cannot be overcome.
One Incident I remember when I was
very glad that this was so.
BUYING A CAN OF CORN.
In some stores are shelves of canned
KOOdS, but no person can buy them.
\ erboten" is all the answer you
get when you ask for them.
I went In a store one day and saw
a can of corn on the shelf.
"I w ill take that," I said.
"No," said the man. "That Is 'ver
boten.' "
When he said this, of course 1
wanted it all the more.
"I will give you 10 marks ($2.50) for
It, I said.
He looked at me a minute. "Come
back later," he told me.
I went back later In the dav and
he let me have it. Imagine $2.50 for
an ordinary can of corn, but oh, it did
laste good.
I gladly paid 20 cents each for to
matoes more than once.
Last year we heard, and It was said
to be true, that 20,000 tons of herring
totted in a port in Germany because
the fishers would not sell at the price
the government ordered.
FOOD GOES TO WASTE.
The government said the herring
should be sold at 10 pfennings, about
21-3 cents each. The fishers wanted
— pfennings, cents. The govern
ment would not permit them to sell at
that price. They would not sell at
the lessor price, and the fish rotted
The people would have been glad to
pay twice, three times as much if per
mitted—but the government said no.
There are so many things I do not
understand about the governmental
rules over there. In ordinary language
they are ju.it plain "dumb." They are
silly and senseless.
Farmers, too, will not bring their
produce into town, because the gov
ernment will not let them charge ex
orbitant prices. Good vegetables rot
on the ground. These things seem
impossible to believe, but they are
true.

number, 8,1 II! were foreign-born. The
total ot foreign-born is 25,827. The

More Than H:df Hundred!
Each Day Being Enlisted
by Captain Harrell
The special drive for 1,700 re
cruits each month during the next
three months, now under way at
the recruiting headquarters for the!
Regular Army, is starting out in
splendid shape. The enlistments j
have jumped from thirty per day
to fifty-four, this number of enlist
ments having been recorded in the
Harrisburg district yesterday.
Local organizations will take a
hand in the recruiting and it is!
hoped to secure enough recruits to
free the entire district from the next
draft. Harrisburg and Lancaster I
secured enough enlistments to free
these cities in the first draft.
Among the recruits secured from !
this section are Daniel S. Still, 641
Seneca street, for the infantry; Ru
dolph H. Kunth, Steelton, for the
Enginercs; Harry I). Myers, I*l6

Harry O. Kramer, 273 South Pitt
