ENGINEERS AWAIT
CALL FOR STRIKE
Chief Stone Says He Proba-
bly, Will Issue Order
This Evening.
(National News Association

NEW YORK, April 22.-Acting as
the representative of congress Rep.
Levi of New York arrived from Wash
ington today to attempt to avert the
threatened strike of locomotive engi-
neers on fifty eastern railroads. Rep.
Dew Immediately went into conference
with Grand Chief Engineer Stone of
the Brotherhood and Judge Martin
Knapp, chairman of the U. S. COM
merce court.
Railroad officials and leaders of the
Locomotive Engineers admitted today
that crisis had been reached in their
negotiations and that a strike of 25.-
900 enginemen was imminent. Such &C
ition would tie up so railroads east of
the Mississippi river and North of the
Ohio, shutting off food supplies and
bringing famine near to the country s
largest cities if the struggle were long
continued.
The railroads havetbeen actively pre-
pairing for a strike. According to ad-
vices received by Warren s. Stone of
the Brotherhood of Locomtive Engi-
neers, the railroads have sent agents
among the pensioned engineers asking
today to report for duty forthwith, and
have used means to influence the
members of the Brotherhood now on
duty. The engineers consider this &C
ton a violation of the 4S-hour armis
itice declared Sunday.
Now we're through said Chief
Stone today. I'VE will wait no longer
We have kept the truce in good faith
our adversaries have not. The engi
neers are furious at the trick and we
stand as man on the question of is
suing a strike order. The men have
given up the power by great majority
and would be fool to permit this
great organization to be played with
any longer.

THE AMERICAN ELM

it was under this tree that William
Penn made his famous treaty with the
Indians, the only treaty that was never
sworn to and never broken. II was
blown down in 1910 but the Quaker
City of the east erected a monument
on the place where it stood.
There was an American Elm stand
ing in Boston until recently, planted
before the Revolutionary War, and
dedicated by the planted to liberty: it
was called the Liberty Elm. 1t was I'M
der the tree that the people of Boston
used to gather to talk about the i'm
pending war. Many an Grafton for in
! dependence was delivered under this
tree. When the was was in progress
those who stayed at home would meet
under this tree and pray for the sue
cess they knew should be theirs, and
after the war was over it was here
| they met to rejoice When the old Elm
was finally blown down in a storm, all
| the bells in all the churches of the
! city were tolled out of respect to a
good tree-citizen, that had played such
a useful part in such a righteous
cause
| The reason there are SO many more
Elms in New England than in Indiana
towns, is probably due more to acct
dent than design. When our fore-fath-
ers came to the New England shores
they wished to make their rude homes
look as much like those they left as
possible, SO they got the Films from
the woods and planted them around
their homes, for England was then and
is now a country where there is much
trees and the Elm was one. Out New
England forefathers therefore, planted
American Films and let them alone and
they took care of themselves.
In the Boston Commons are standing
side by side both English and Ameri
can Films, each in way characteristic
of it's people. The English Elm is
stouter, thicker and does not grow sc
tall. The American Elm is taller, has
a wider sweep and more graceful
droop to it's branches. Both are beauti
full in summer and winter. One writer
in telling of these trees on the Com
mons" says dignity is a characters
tic of each. Each bears a luxuriant
burden of leaves. The Briton is stocky
the American is airily graceful, one
stands heavily on it's heels. the other
on tiptoe.'
Indiana has an American Elm thai
she should be proud of. If any New
England town had it with such a his
tory as it has, it would be fenced ir
and it's history written on a tablet Its
name should be added to the list O.
our illustrious citizens. 1t stands in ar
open commons in the little town o.
Corydon. Before the old state house
