MAY BE NATIONAL STRIKE
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS LIKELY TO
 RE CALLED OUT SOON.

Meeting of Strikers Held Last Evening
 Situation StIIi Unthangcd-AlI
 Work on Bridges in New England
 Has Ceased--Strong Probability of
 National Strike.
 The bridgeworkers' strike situation remains unchanged up to date except ing that the probability of national strike is now more imminent. There was a meeting of the local union last evening but no action was taken. The American Bridge company has refused to discuss the matter with the commit- tee from the union and they now await the calling of a national strike by Pres ident Frank Buchanan.
 E $. Warder said yesterday to a rep resentative of this paper:
 "The situation as it now stands is all in our favor and all the worrying will have to be done by the company. There is not one bridge in New England that is being built by the American Bridge company that issplaking any .headway, On the other hand fully 90 per cent. of our men who have struck already have new positions.
 If do not hear from Mir Buchanan, our national president, before morning 1 shall make a trip to New York and ask him to call national strike, which he will without a doubt do since his official representations to this MT. Mc- Gowan has assured us to that effect. 'l
 It seems that the present delay in calling the, strike is due to the fact that Mir. Buchanan is very busy just now arbitrating the Pennsylvania steel strike.

He immediately dispatched the police wag- on there with. some officers. On their arrival McVety was found lying on the sidewalk in a badly used up condition with his assailant no where in sight He was taken to the New Haven hos pttal where it was found that his left shoulder was badly dislocated and that he was badly cut and bruised on the fact and body.
 After McVety ra dbeen sent to the hospital an investigation was made by the police.

Dis Corporation S.rons N Motive Power
Has Over Five Thousand Locomotives.

The Pennsylvania leads all other
railroad companies of the world in
the world in TIE number of locomo-
tives owned. This company has in
service on its lines east of Pittsburg
3,700 and west of Pittsburg 900, a
total of $500 locomotives. Besides
these, if placed with the Baldwin
Company an order for 525 new en-
gines and it is building at its shops
at Altoona 16S more. All of these
will be completed within the present
year. The Baldwin Company has
turned over 275 to the railroad con-
pany. This company too, has many
thousands OF freight cars and clearly
leads all other roads in the number.
The Midland railroad of England
comes next to the Pennsylvania in
the number of its locomotives. With
all these locomotives the company
now has and is building, it is still
likely to bepushed for motive power
later in the year. The officers of the
company say that never was as much
business handled as is being at pres
ent, and they belive the traffic of
the fall and winter will exceed that
OF any other period. When the
grain crop begins to be moved the
company, as well as other railroads,
will be pressed for cars.
