FULLY 93.3 PER CENT OF MEN
VOTED FOR A STRIKE.
INCREASED PAY DEMANDED
Original Demands Of Engineers for Pay

Were Rejected-Wait for
Counter Proposition.

New York.-The probability Of a
strike of engineers employed on the fifty
railroads in the Northeastern section Of
the country was emphasized by the an
nouncement of Grand Chief Warren s.
Stone of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers that 1913 per cent of the men
had voted in favor OF the walkout.
This information was dispatched by
special messenger to j. c. Stuart, chair
man of the conference committee OF
managers, in this city. Mr.. Stuart sent
the following reply:
"Will submit your letter to the confer
ence committee of managers for their
consideration and action. 1t will require
several days to get the conference com
mitttee together, and doubt whether it
can be done before the middle or the
latter part of next week"
More than 27,500 engineers are in.
yolved in the strike vote just announced.
When the negotiations for higher wages
were being carried on some time ago
the managers committee declined to ac.
cede to the demands of the men, and it
was said that their attitude towards a
wage increase has not changed.
1t was also said that the Brotherhood
of Firemen and Engineers would shortly
present demands to the managers and
would support the engineers if they
strike.

philadelphia.-The primary election in
Pennsylvania resulted in u landslide for
Col Roosevelt.
OF the siXty-four delegates elected in
the thirty-two districts fully fifty are
pledged to vote for Roosevelt. Added to
this is the probability that the Repub'
lican state convention, which will choose
twelve delegates-at-large to the national
convention, will be controlled by the anti
Taft element, insuring at least sixty
two delegates for Roosevelt from this
state. @
With the exception of one or two dis
tricts in the state, Woodrow Wilson will
have a solid delegation from Pennsyl'
vania to the Democratic national con
v~enti0n.
Dispatches to Roosevelt headquarters
from Pittsburg states that the coloners
