LIVED "A MONTHS

From The World OF Thursday.

After living fourteen months with q
broken back, which he received in the
bridge accident at Williamsport, Md.
on December 16, 1908, Charles r,
Moore, died at n minute after noon
yesterday at his home, 207 Main
street, Steelton. Moore, who was
twenty-seven years old, was a man OF
remarkable vitality and successfully
underwent an operation in which he
had two inches of bone removed from
his spine. Hopes were then entertain
ed for his recovery, the physicians
stating that his successfully with.
standing the operation was remark.
able.
But last December he began to grow
worse, and despite the fact that he
received every medical attention
died after much suffering. He is sur
vived by his father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. William Q. Moore; three
brothers, Alvin L., of Harrisburg;
Joshua and William, of Steelton; three
sisters, Mrs. Lulu Mitchell, Misses
Edith and Helen, all OF Steelton.

selves a party SUCH as they desire.
They realize that an Their grambling
and kicking vii noe bring about the
conditions that they would have exist.
and that the future OF the party is
what they themselves make 1t.
They also believe that when II is
once recognized that they are in the
fight for the good of the party thai
all true republicans will come to their
support. They believe that by their
united efforts more can be accomplish
ed in q political way than by letting
| things run on as they will.
The young republicans are heartily
ashamed of the way In which the
election of last spring went by default
and they are determined that such a
condition shall not exist this year.
They are convinced that If the mat
ter had been taken mp then, that there
would have been a different tale 10
tell when the ballots were counted.
BY the vigorous prosecution of an
! educational campaign and the person
al work that the young men can do
the city can be safely counted in the
republican column this spring.
They realize that it is going to take
. some work TO accomplish what they
desire, but the young men who are
back of the proposition are composed
of the stuff that makes good politi-
clans. Many OF them have fathers
who have been high in the party's
counsels in years gone by, and have
managed campaigns before the young
men who are now becoming active
knew what a campaign meant. They
have the same fighting blood in them
that their fathers had and they can
win for their party the same as the old
err men did.
They now realize what 1t means to
them. Some of them are ambitious to
go to the legislature, others would
like some day to go to congress, a
few would like to sit on the bench,
and there may be n or two who
would not say "No.' II the time came
some day when there was a chance
for a seat in the United States Senate.
They can not expect to realize these
ambitions unless they become active
ly identified with the party and go to
work and win victories as did the men
who now hold the jobs.
The political future is bright for the
young nan If he can identify himself
with such a movement. The older
men can not live always and when
their place has to be filled some
younger man must be Qualified to take
ii.
There viii he acaa fSr a general
meeting in this city sent out shortly
when the campaign for the& ity cleo
ton will be discussed. The young
men will make every effort TO get rep
resentation ON the active committees
and they will give the assurance that
they mean business and are willing to
work for the interests of the party
and the city.

while the company it not willing to
grant, ID their entirety, the rates re-
quessed. it Is willing TO adjust some OF
the service conditions and some OF the
salaries where they are shown to be
justified. all OF which would make a
material increase in the present
wages. and this was covered in the
company's counter.proposi,ion to the
men.
we have ~endeavored not to act ar
bitrarily, conferred as to what the
men proposed, and explained TO them
the reasons which governed u con-
illusions. and it on further considera.
ton the men are still not satisfied,
rather than that there should be any
interruption Of business or inconveni-
ence to the public, we are willing that
the matter should be arbitrated, as
provided for under the Erdman Act.
and WI will accept as final whatever
decision such arbitrators will agree
upon"
Under these circumstances said
Mr.. Willard, we do not feel the pub.
tic need have apprehension concern
Ing a strike. as such conclusion would
indicate that the Baltimore and Ohio
employees are not sufficiently confident
as to the fairness of their requests to
submit the questions to impartial re-
view.
"The company believes in the
fairness OF its position. and II unable
to reach amicable understanding with
its employees directly Is quite willing
that the situation be reviewed, and Is
prepared to stand by the conclusions
of such arbitrators."
Little Effect on Change.
In the meanwhile the stock of the
company has felt little effect in New
York because OF the rejection OF the
trainmen's demands for higher wages
and the threatening labor troubles.
There was. however, a slowing down
of speculation on the part Of traders
who are waiting to see what action
the 5000 trainmen will take on the re-
fusal OF the company to concede their
demands. The labor unrest has been
brought into prominence because OF
the Philadelphia traction strike, but
there has been no important selling Of
stock as a result OF II.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 24.-Phila.
delphia has called upon the State for
aid.
The city police have failed, even
with the brief help OF the State Fenci-
bles, to cope successfully with the
and r suffering now from the strain
of five days Of almost incessant active
service with little or no sleep.
In this emergency, Mayor Reyburn
has asked Governor Stuart 10 dis
patch the full force OF the mounted
State constabulary TO this city to as.
sist In restoring order. The appeal for
help was sent to the Governor Tues
day, and, though no reply had been re-
ceived from the Chief Executive of
the State, it was stated in the city
hall yesterday, both by the Mayor and
the Director of Public Safety, Henry
Clay, that a force, consisting OF nearly
200 State police would probably ar
rive in Philadelphia today under COM
mand of Capt. John c. Groome. The
men will be dispatched to the trouble
districts at once to restore order and
prevent rioting at any cost.
May Call Out State Militia.
III more help should be required to
preserve order and to restore the cars
to regular schedule, the full force of
the State militia will be called upon.
This, however, will be done only as a
last resort. In anticipation of the call
regiments in many sections of the
State are making active preparations
TO meet a hurried summons from the
city, and commanders of Philadelphia
regiments have already met and In
~structed their officers to have the
men of their companies in readiness
for instant service.
Though these preparations are be-
ing made Mayor Reyburn declared
yesterday that the necessity for call
ing the militia was decreasing. The
city, he said, had spent a day that
c%ontrasted favorably with those of the
earlier part of the week, only one SER
ious disturbance having occurred. He
said that though the call had been
sent for the State c~onstabulary there
was no real need OF their services, but
they would be used to relieve the reg
ular policemen, who have been practic-
ally without rest since Sunday.
West Philadelphia was the scene OF
serious riots in the afternoon, the
car barns at Forty-third street and
Lancaster avenue and Forty-fourth
and Jefferson sereets being storm
centers that kept the police constantly
ON the move.
The worst trouble occurred at Forty
fourth street and Lancaster avenue,
where a mob of several thousand at
tackled a car and dragged its crew of
"strikebreakers' from II. The police
men guarding the car drew their re-
volvers and fired over the heads OF the
ioters, causing them to scatter like
frightened sheep.
While the excitement was at its
height an unidentified man leveled a
revolver at the bluecoats and fired
soint-blank at their heads. The bull
let's sang close to their ears, passed
through the car and pierced a window
OF the Empire Title and Trust Com
pany. The bullet finally lodged in the
Nair of Thomas Powers. the presi-
dent of the company, who, fortunately
'or him, was not occupying 1t. The

Mr.. Wizards Views.

Briefly" said Mr.. Willard, "the
situation is this: When the confer
ence started and the men submitted
their proposition. which involved in
creases from 9 to 3S per cent, OF an
average increase OF about IA per cent,
their figures were taken under con-
sideration.
"a careful comparison of the wages
paid on the Baltimore and Ohio with
the rates of pay on other roads be-
tween the seaboard and Chicago dis
closed that the rates now paid by the
Baltimore and Ohio were from 8 to 30
per cent higher than those on any of
the roads, excepting, possibly, the
Pennsylvania Railroad; in other
words, the rates of pay Of practically
all OF the company's competitors were
on a lower basis; while. OF course, the
rates obtained for the handling OF
business are exactly the same. Con
sequently. we did not feel we would
be justified in advancing our rates an
average of IA per cent when existing
rates were already much higher than
those of other roads,"
Furthermore" said Mr.. Willard,
"the Baltimore and Ohio feels it is
paying its employees good wages
wages that should be satisfactory, be-
cause admittedly higher than those
paid on other roads in the territory
for the same character Of work, and

Notwithstanding That Arbitration
Should Be Conducted Under Pro-
visions of Erdman Act-company
Willing to Adjust Some of the Con-
ditions and Salaries.
President Daniel Willard. of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, declared yesterday in an inter
view that rather than have a. inter-
ruption of business or inconvenience
to the public through a strike the
company was willing to submit the
question OF wage scales to arbitration
as provided under the Erdman Act,
and accept as final such decision as
the arbitrators may agree upon. Mr..
Willard made this declaration after
his attention was called to statements
attributed to Mr.. A. b. Garretson,
president OF the Brotherhood OF Rail-
road Trainmen who, with Mr.. w. G..
Lee. president of the Brotherhood of
Railroad conductors, has been con-
Quoting negotiations for an increase
in the wages of the members of these
two delegations.
This action on the part of Mr.. Will
lard is one of deep significance. for
1t is the first time that a large cor
poration like the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company has agreed to take
advantage of the Erdman Act and
adopt formal arbitration as a e
of settling labor disputes. It will
probably begin a new era in the set
Ting of controversies between capital
and labor, for If the offer TO arbitrate
Is taken up by the employees of the
local road 1t will result in the estah-
lishment of a precedent that can not
help but influence the action of other
corporations when similar situations
arise. 1t is manifestly an equitable
way to adjust differences, and will
mean the doing away with costly and
destructive labor wars. The peace
and prosperity of the country has
been threatened and retarded long
enough by strikes and boycotts. If
MT. WllldTu SucteuS III having int
present difficulties settled p~eaceably
he will deserve the commentator Of
this whole section Of the country.
The negotiations between the Balti.
more and Ohio officials and employees
came to an end on Monday last, when
the trainmen and conductors refused
to accept a counter proposition TO
their petition by the railroad officials.
The brotherhood executives announc-
ed hat they would submit the ques-
ton to the members of their organiza-
ton in the employ Of the Baltimore
and Ohio and call upon them for a
vote on the strike question. Yester-
day Mr.. Willard declared hat certain
ly there was nothing in the situation
from a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company standpoint that left a strike
as the only alternative should the men
conclude not to accept the counter
~nronosition of the

JUDGE RATTEREE
 WILL SOON RETIRE
Will Not Be Candidate for Re.Elec- ton to the Office of Police Judge At Little Rock-Has Ac.
 complished Much.

Little Rock, May 25.-Judge E. R. Ratterree, who for the past four years has served as police judge ot Little Rock, and as such has made a reputation all over the United States for his unique methods of dealing with criminals, will not be candi- date for reelection in the primaries next spring.
 Little Rock people will not know Of the determination on the part of Judge Ratterree until it wanders back to the city through these columns.
 Judge Ratterree, man scarcely cs CT 30 years, has achieved quite rep utation as a dispenser of justice and his court has done great deal to make Little Rock a law abiding city. Judge Ratterree has the instinct by which he can assert the criminals which are brought before him, picking out those who have made a mere slip in walking down the straight and narraw path, and deal- ing with them accordingly. He has made believers in the law out of the shiflless negroes of the city, through long terms on the county farm. and floating criminals who fall into his hands get the same dose. This has made such an exceptionally. good po- lice judge, that those who would like to have the position in Little Rock, knowing it would be folly to attempt to defeat him, have stood aside and waited until he would decline to long CT serve.
