PLEA FOR RESTORING ARMY
cANTEEN.

Since the army canteen has been
abolished under the insistence of the
temperance union there has. been a
protest from every army department in
the government The conditions about
army posts and forts have been worse
than when the government had control
Of the traffic. 1t is question of choice
between the canteen and the low dive
and resorts outside the gates. and as
far as the discipline and morale Of
the army Is concerned there is no ques-
tion but that the canteen should be
restored.
Brigadier General Theodore Whit,
commanding the department of the
Missouri, in his report to the war de-
partment says that in his opinion the
aanteen should be restored at army
posts. In the discussion he says:
THE demoralizing influence of the
resorts surrounding posts cannot be
too strongly emphasized. giving rise
rs it does, to large proportion of the
snost serious offenses and practically
all those with penitentiary confine-
ments, a condition chargeable i'm a
great measure, in the opinion of the
Judge advocate. to the prohibition
placed upon the post exchange"

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1906.
THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

Thirty years of peace and prosperity
have obliterated all the animosities of
the Civil war and we find many touch
ing incidents Of the fraternity that has
come to take the place. On September
Is, on the historic battlefield of Gettys-
burg, where they clashed for supre-
macy. the survivors Of Pickett's d.
vision Of the confederate army met
IN fraternal reunion the survivors of
the Philadelphia brigade which was
composed Of four regiments of Penn
sylvania volunteers.
The reunion was held at the bloody
angle" where General Pickett made
his famous charge. The feature of the
gathering was the presentation of Gem
eral Armistead's sword to the men Of
the south. General Armistead fell
during the charge and his sword has
since been in the possession of the
Philadelphia soldiers.
The reunion also included a visit to
the battlefield OF Antietam, where the
men Of the sbuth joined with the men
az the north In dedicating monument
10 the memory of the Pennsylvanians
who fell during the battle. With such
scenes before us the new generation
will never know the hatreds and the
heart aches that the past has success
fully buried.

THREATEN TIE UP
new YORK ROADS

New oYrk, Nov. 12.-The question
OF a strike of the firemen on the Erie
railroad system because of the refusal
of that company to grant the mems
demands for reduced working hours,
is now being voted upon. The re-
suit probably will not be known un-
til Tuesday. If the firemen vote to
uphold the grievance committee, a
tie-up of the Erie road and all Its
subsidiary companies from New York
to Chicago probably will follow. Be-
sides the 500 firemen on the road
there are 675 locomotive engineers
who have been promoted from the
ranks of firemen and who still carry
firemen's union cards.
These engineers also VIII vote on
the question.
At the headquarters today there
were sixty-eight engineers represent
ing the engineers from the Erie and
Delaware and Lackawana and New
York Central and the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroads. W.
S. stone, grand chief of the brother
hood Of locomotive engineers. wae
present but after the meeting he de-
clined to make any statement.
Besides the secret conference Of the
engineers here today, there was a
meeting last night Of the West Shore
railroad engineers at Union Hill, N. J.
1t is reported the gathering related
to the present situation. 1t was said
on good authority that the marine en-
gineers employed on the tug boats and
the ferry boats Of the Erie railroad
had formulated a petition asking fol
an increase in pay ana that this de.
mand will be presented with the de-
mands Of the Erie dremen.
Despite today;s developments, E
w. Hurley. assistant general chief o,
the brotherhood Of locomotive engin
neers said the Erie firemer
were neither expecting nor ar,
desiring a strike. He re
marked, however, that the brother
hood was in an excellent condition t
stand strike as were the firemen.
1t was announced by Chief Hanna
han tonight that committees Of tn
trainmen's and firemen's organization
are now in Pittsburg to ask the Penn
sylvania railroad for an advance Il
