pITTSBURG CARMEN MAY
START SYMPATHETIC STRIKE

PITTSBURG, March 14.-"Are you
in sympathy with the Philadelphia
brethren to the extent that if called
upon you would act in their support"
To this ballot, the exact significance
of which is known only to the men
themselves, nearly 5000 union motor
men and conductors, of the Pittsburg
street cars put an affirmative answer
tonight
1t had been generally understood
that a strike in Pittsburg in sympathy
with the Philadelphlans would be voted
on tonight, but no ballot other than
the indefinite question quoted above
was submitted.
From the attitude Of the men 1t is
believed the vote they took meant
more than financial or moral support.
If il includes a strike this decision OF
the men, it is said, would be held as a
trump card for the State Federation
of Labor to play if the Philadelphia
situation does not clear.
1t has been expected by the men
that they would be called upon to vote
upon grievances of their own, but
nothing of a local strike was mem
toned by the speakers or the officers
of the union. The official count of the
ballot win not be completed until to-
morrow.

SAN DIEGO, March 14.-Hiram
Johnson, Lincoln Roosevelt league can
didate for governor, and A. j. Wallace
of Los Angeles candidate for lieu
tenant governor on the same ticket,
opened their campaign in this city to-
night at the Garrick theater.
The meeting was presided over by
President w. p. Polhemus, of the local
Lincoln Roosevelt club, and the speak
ers OF the evening were f1anked by
majority of the officials OF the city
government, past and present In ad-
dition to the state candidates Mayor
Grant Conrad and Judge w. A. Sloane,
prospective candidate for state senator
from this district, addressed the meet
ing.
In his address Mr.. Johnson declared
himself as unalterably opposed to the
Southern Pacific machine, the push
button form of government, all monop-
olistic corporate interests and declared
himself as forever favorable to a gov
ernment of the people, for the people
and by the people. Though Mayor
Conrad demanded of the candidate that
he support the San Diego 1915 expo
sition project, the ceding of tide lands
in San Diego harbor to the city for
development and his support in secur-
ing a state appropriation for the San
Diego exposition, the candidate mere
ly touched on these points, without
committing himself to any course of
action.
A. ]. Wallace, in a lengthy address,
told of his achievements as chairman
of the finance committee of the Los
Angeles city council, called attention
to the necessity for the elimination of
graft from civic, county and state
politics and promised the citizens of
the city and county a perfect business
administration in the event Of his cleo
ton.
The candidates leave this city tomor-
row by automobile for a tour of the
smaller cities north and the announce
ment was made this evening that their
campaign will be carried to all of the
back country localities of the state
from the Mexican line to the northern
boundary. Mr.. Johnson, after speak
ing twice at Eel Cajon and La Mesa,
showed the effects of the strain, his
voice being very hoarse at the close
of his speech at the theater

CHICAGO, March 14-The railroads
issued a statement tonight declaring
that to prevent a strike they would, II
necessary, appeal to the authorities at
Washington.
The controversy which has been un-
der discussion for more than six weeks
involves forty-seven railroads, operat-
ing west northwest and southwest of
Chicago, and embraces about 150OOO
miles of track.
1t has been stated by both sides that
if a strike were called it would tie up
practically every freight and passenger
train between Chicago and the Paclflc
coast.
1.-THE strike has been called-that
much is certain" said Mr.. Carter. 1T
means that not only $4,000 firemen,
members of our union, will go out, but
perhaps many more employees VIII pe
thrown out in consequence.
I'VE notified the railroads that the
men had voted to strike and that we
were prepared to call a strike unless
we were granted arbitration OF all
questions in dispute. The railroads re-
fused to arbitrate anything but the
wage question. J..
"At midnight tonight we decided 1t
was useless to parley further with the
railroad managers. We adopted reso-
luton calling a strike.
Order to Issue Today
lowing to the lateness of the hour
and in order that the men would not
go out in confusion and not knowing
the true state of affairs, we agreed 10
wait until tomorrow before telegraph
ing the order"
Twill the men quit work tomorrow
Mr. Carter was asked.
"The men will quit work within
twenty -four hours after the order is
issued" he replied.
Chairman Nixon issued the follow
ing statement:
"The railroads have not received the
answer of the firemen's committee
Consequently we hesitate to make
comment But 1t does not seem reas-
enable a strike will be ordered in the
face of offered arbitration. The rail-
roads offered to arbitrate the wage
question January 27, and this offer still
holds good.
"In case the firemens reply is to the
effect that strike will be called the
railroads will invoke the aid of the
Erdman act, through the chairman OF

INVOKES LAW TO
FIND CHILDREN
Mrs. S. A. Roberts Accuses Rev. E. J.
Harper of Spiriting Boy and
Girl Away in Auto to
Prevent Reunion

After months of toll and anxious
waiting, and with the objects of her
many sacrifices almost within clasp
of her mother arms, Mrs. Susie A.
Roberts, who came to Los Angeles
from Nashville, Tenn, in search of
her two children, met with keenest dis
ar rpointment yesterday when she visit
ed the residence of Rev. and Mrs. E.
j. Harper at 1922 Wilton place. Her
two children, for whom she had sought
so eagerly and with such self-denial,
had been taken from the Harper home,
and are now at some place inaccessible
to the distracted mother.
AS related exclusively in The Her
aid, Mrs. Robertson, the sisterin-law Of
Mrs. e. j. Harper, came to Los An
geles to obtain her little boy and girl,
who have been living at the Harper
home for many months. Yesterday
Mrs. Roberts, prior to filing court pro-
ceedings regarding their custody, paid
a visit to the Harpe residence, intent
on talking the affair over with the
children and their present guardians.
Taken Away In Automobile
could Rev. Mr.. Harper or his wife be
seen. The maid who answered the
summons at the door said her employ
ers had left with the children Sunday
afternoon, and she was unable to state
when they would return. The only
further information rendered was that
the children and their custodians had
left in an automobile, in which bag
gage had been placed, possibly denot-
ing a stay of some time.
Her heart wrung with disappoint-
ment. Mrs. Roberts secured the neigh
borhood in search of information that
would send her to her little ones. The
neighbors knew nothing, simply re-
peating the maids assertions that the
family and children had left in an au-
tomobile, perhaps for a nearby beach
or mountain resort.
Gets Writ of Habeas Corpus
The distracted parent retuned to the
city and visited her attorneys. A writ
of habeas corpus was secured yester-
day in Judge IIutton's court, return
able Friday In the meantime a search
is being made in order to serve the
papers, but the grief-stricken mother
has no means of knowing when this
can be done.
"All 1 can do is to wait" she de-
clared. MY cnldren, VINO nave grown
to be big babies, must be gradually
forgetting their mother, and calling the
Harpers mamma and papa My attor-
neys say that even if Mr.. Roberts was
given the custody of the children in
Tennessee, he had no right to give
them away to his relatives. regard
less of my wishes. OF course Mrs.
Harper has grown to love my babies,
but 1 am their mother and love them
all the more. 1 will work day and
night to get them back

DIR. HAMILL DELIVERS ADDRESS
BEFORE MEMPHIS METHODIST
CONFERENCE AT BROADWAY
METHODIST CHURCH.

The Sunday school is given credit
by the Rev. II. NJ. Hamill. of Nash
willie, in a great measure for the pro-
hibition movement all over the
country. A generation and a half
ago, he said last night in his address
at the Memphis Methodist confer
ence, the temperance lessons were
introduced in the Sunday school and
a generation has grown up under this
teaching.
Foundations were discussed by
him. He insisted that no .uperstruc-
ture. no matter how well construct
ed, can last unless the foundation is
sufficient. For that reason he
argued that the Sunday school Is one
of the most important, If not the
most important function of the
church. He attended the interna-
tional Sunday School convention at
Edinboro and learned that in Eng
lana and Europe they don't know
what the Sunday school is, as it has
been organized in America. In a
FIVE minute address before that gath
ering he called attention to the fact
that not 100 men. who had had at
tended the New York gathering ten
wears before. were present. and pre-
dicted that not leo OF those who
heard him would attend the next one
ten years latter. Yet but one speaker
before him had sad word about
the Sunday school children from
whom the ranks CT the convention
workers must be recruited.
In Japan he saw now difficult Il
was to reach the adults, and how
easy to reach the children in the
school, who would become settled
in their beliefs like their parents
afterwards. He said it is difficult to
