DolrofU Recognition of the union
and better wages are sought by the
thirty-five thousand track wrW,
all of whom would be effected if
President Barker calls the strike.
Officials of the Pennsylvania Lines
here said to-night they knew noth
ing of the controversy. The men
claim that Adjustment Board No, 3
of the Department of Labor had
delayed decision in their case, and
that the strike vote was taken to
day because the workers were de
termined to wait no longer.
The brotherhood was organised
here eight months ago. according to
officials, who say that a special ses
sion may be held here again Mon
day. The area affected on the
Pennsylvania system Is confined to

including the Pennsylvania lines

WILSON iS AWED BY
WAR'S DESOLATION
[Continued from First Page,]
hospitals, barracks and all the other
litter left by the defeated enemy in
his flight.
Graves Along the Roadside
American, as well as French,
graves lay along the roadside. There j
were German graves too. Desocrat
cd cemeteries were found in many
cases. There was a constant pana
rama of destroyed or charred vine
yards, gardens and homes.
The President was welcomed at i
Rheims by the mayor and a com
mittee to whom Mr. Wilson explain
ed that he had not come to the de
vastated regions sooner because he
had been wholly engaged at Paris
with the business of maikng peace.
Before going to the cathedral, he
passed through the streets of a de
serted city which was once the home
of 115.000 people., but where less
than 5,000 now are eking out an ex
istence among the ruins. He visited j
Red Cross canteens where hundreds
of destitute persons are fed night
and day. and the hospital where the
sick and injured are cared for.
Cathedral Stripped of Beauty
A light blanket of snow covered i
the ground a sthe President drove
up to the cathedral, and Rheims,
ravished and naked in all Its mis
ery and desolation, looked like a
graveyard in the moonlight. There
were more crows in the air, circling
over the ruined town, then there
were hirman beings below in the
littere dstrets.
Cardinal Lucon, archbishop of
Rheims, who stood steadfastly by his
charge for four years, during which
time scarcely a day passed without
a German shell hurling death into
the city, met the President at the
fence of rough boards which now
excludes curiosity seekers and in
closes the rubbish into which this
most historic edifice has been re
duced. The cardinal conducted Mr.
Wilson to the Nave of the cathedral,
where, in 1914, the Germans during
their short occupation of the city
placed their wounded, and then, be
ing forced to evacuate, burned their
men to death by incendiary shells ;
that fired the roof, but did not dam
age the vault.
Rubbish Piled Iligh
An over the (lagging, worn smooth
through the years by millions of feet
bringing Frenchmen to an hour's de
votion, were piled heaps of rubbish,
remnants of statuary and frescoes
and fragments of colmns and sculp
tures which were accounted the
most perfect and complete examples
of Gothic art. As the President and
the cardinal stood together looking
upward, while the prelate briefly
recounted the story of four years of
constant destruction, they looked
straight through to tbe clouded sky.
The snow flurry that was covering !
the bare ruins of the city outside i
was also laying a blanket inside the |
cathedral.
Silent Before Painting
: The cha'ky stone of Champagne, I
of which the cathedral was built, is
scaling oft from the effects of Ger- \
man fire and the falling snow flakes
wero mixed with an almost constant
dropping of fragments. Pausing a
moment before the scene of the
crucifixion above the north door,
and before the painting of the coro
nation of the Virgin, over the cen
tral door, Mr. Wilson silently viewed
the destruction wrought upon those
masterpieces hy the burning of the
seaffolaing when the Germans set
tire to the roof of the edifice.
The President followed the car
dinal to the ruins of the chapel
where old-time kings watched
through the night at the time of
their nnolntlng, and to the ruins of
the museum where priceless Flem
ish tapestries were ruined. He was
shown where thousands of shells
thrown from German batteries on
two sides burst among the buttresses
which support the main structure
and where forests of sculptures
which ornament the structure have
been scarred, nicked and torn by
fragments from the big shells.
Work of Art Destroyed
Then the cardinal took him out- ]
side, and they picked their way
through rubbish heaps to a point
from which they could view the
shell-riddled painting of the Last
Judgment above the south door; the
symho's from Noah's arm about the
great shattered rose window, the
State of St. Anne and dozens of oth
er works art of which virtually
none escaped.
As they left the cathedral, the
cardinal gave the President a stain
ed glass panel from one of the win
dows taken down in ttme to save it.
The panel is unscarred. It is cir
cular and about three feet In diam
eter. It shows a figure of the Savior
done In many colored glass of the
early centuries. From the cathedral
the President drove to view the
ruins of the town hall, a spacious
specimen of the Renaissance style
of architecture and the Palais
Royale, an eighteen century edifice.
These two. with the cathedral, com
prised the most celebrated histori
cal memorials of Rheims, and not
one has escaped.
