ERIE FIREMEN GLOVER
MAY PRECIPITATE A BIG STRIKE
SOON.

NEW YORK, November 1O-President F.
D. Underwood of the Erie Railroad Com
pany today declined to grant a demand
for reduction in working hours which
had been made by committee represent
ing the flremen employed by that COM
pany. John j. Hanrahan, grand master
Of the Brotherhood of Railway Firemen.
Informed Mr.. Underwood that his response
to the demands Of the firemen was unsatis-
factory, and that poll of the Erie firemen
would at once be taken to determine
whether or not they will strike The fire.
mems demands are said to be equivalent to
an increase of 10 per cent in wages. Seven
teen hundred men are said to be affected,
Their committee had conference yester-
day with General Manager Stuart of the
Erie, who refused their demands. Today
they took the matter to President Under
wood. Mr.. Underwood told them he should
not have been appealed to after Mr.. Stuart
had given his decision The president also
advised the firemen to go home and wait
until the matter could be investigated
Other Lines Favorable.
Grand Master Hanrahan replied that no
further investigation was necessary, and
that the Erie pays it's firemen less than any
of it's three competing roads between New
York and Chicago-the New York Central,
the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and
Ohio.
After the conference the firemen's COM
mittee had meeting and decided that ne
gotiations with the Erie officials should
cease. Some of the members of the COM
mittee said that strike appeared to be i'm
minent. The members of the Erie commit
tee will leaYe for their homes tonight.

ORDER OF CHIEF OF STAFF
Legality Of the Instructions Issued by
the President Regarding Civil
Debarment Question.

By order Of the acting Secretary of War,
Gen. Murray, chief Of artillery, acting chief
Of staff, issued a special order today, which
is self-explanatory. as follows:
by direction OF the President. the follow
ing named enlisted men who on August IL,
1905. were members Of Companies B, c and
D, 25th Infantry, certain members Of which
organizations participated in the riotous
disturbance which occurred in Brownsville.
Tex, on the night Of August Is, 1905, will
be discharged without honor from the army
by their respective commanding officers and
forever debarred from .re-enlisting in the
army or navy of the United States, as well
as from employment in any civil capacity
under this government
''rhe discharge certificate in each case
will show that the discharge without honor
is in consequence of the previous paragraph.
These soldiers are entitled to travel pay"
The number Of men affected by these or
ders Is 166. and included Twenty-Five nom
served nearly thirty years in the army. and
but for their discharge would soon have
been eligible for retirement with retired
pay for the remainder of their lives The
list includes the seven members Of the
battalion who were arrested for alleged
participation in the Brownsville affair, and
who have been since confined in the guard
house at Fort Sam Houston, Tex. There was
quently they will not be surrendered to the
Texas authorities. except as the latter may
arrest them when they are discharged from
the army at the Texas post.
Presidents Authority Questioned.
Although there is no doubt as to the
Presidents authority to dismiss enlisted
men without trial, serious doubt Is ex-
pressed in legal military circles as to the
Presidents power to debar such men from
any employment in any civil capacity
under the government It is stated that
there is no statute giving the chief execu-
tive such power and in the absence of
law the President cannot limit or pre-
scribe the powers or prerogativee of his
successors in office.
1t is mentioned as an interesting point
that President Roosevelt is the first Presi-
dent to exercise the legal authority Of dis
missing an enlisted man in the army or
navy without trial.
To Recruit the Companies.
The War Department will endeavor to re-
cruit the three companies TO their full
strength in order to meet legal require
ments, but 1t is not likely that it will be
an easy task. Until that Is accomplished
a battalion OF the 28th Infantry will be
stationed at Fort Reno, Okla. These troops,
which are now at San Antonio, will take
the places vacated by the dismissed COLI
ored soldiers of the 25th Infantry.
