At Aldershot and other military
posts soldiers are held in readiness TO
move to any point in the country If
needed More urgent even than the
necessity of the protection Of the
mines is the duty facing the country
Of relieving the terrible desutution
caused everywhere by the strike.

clares Strike Will Force
Higher Freight Rates
ENGINEERS NEED MORE PAY
Aud Cannot Get Increase Until
Railroads Make More
Says tho Public Stands in the Way
Through Interstate Commeree
Board.

New York, n. Y. March 2S-Grand
Chief stone of the Brotherhood Of Lo-
cOmotive Engineers predicted today
when the result of the strike vote on
the wage question is made public on
April 10 it will be found that less than
twenty-five hundred of the twenty
five thousand engineers OF the broth
orhood will oppose the strike.

i'm none OF our conferences with the
eastern railroad representatives have
they once declared our demands un-
just They say they can't afford TO
grant the increase because they are
not allowed to increase freight rates.
The interstate commerce commission
stands in the way of any raise, and as
the commission represents the public.
it is really the public that is the
stumbling block. That is why I repeat
the public needs an object lesson TO
convince them that the roads are en-
titled to more pay for freight. Freight
rates arc bound to go up"

Customary Appeal
The self-dcnial effort Of the SALIVA
ton Army which comes as regularly
as the spring. opens Sunday, March
q. and will continue throughout the
entire week. Special services viii DC
held all day Sunday under the direc-
ton OF Adjutant Mrs. Symmonds and
during the week the members Of the
army, each Of whom viii be supplied
with an official card authorizing him
To solicit. will circulate among the resi-
dents of the city TO secure contribn-
tions. The local members will leave
nothing undone TO raise the amount FOR
which the local corps is targeted
Adutant Symmonds suggests that II
would be wise for friends of the army
to see that collectors have the official
self denial card, signed by herself, as
her attention has been called to the
fact that some unprincipled person has
already been soliciting under the name
of the army without her authoriza-
ton. A safe way is to send the dona-
tions direct to Mrs. Symmonds, 20i
Portland street.
Primarily. Self-Dcnial week is a
week OF prayer but il also involves q
united financial effort for the malu-
tenance and extension of the special
branches Of the work. which are large

which can hardly be expected 20 be-
come self-supporting.
For instance the army maintalns
twenty eight rescue and maternity
homes in the principal cities. with ac-
commodations for S24 girls. During the
year 1902 girls were admitted. 1,0Is
