STRIKE VOTE
ON PENNSY

The question of general strike on
the Pennsylvania railroad lines east
of Pittsburgh will be voted on today
by $4,000 conductors, firemcn and other
trainmen.
1t will require a two thirds vote
before a strike can be authorized and
even then it may be averted by the
union labor leaders,
While there are several, points of
difference between the company and
the men, the real trouble is over the
electrification of the company's lines
and the use of the road from Park
place, this city, to Summit station,
Jersey City, by the trains of the Hud-
son and Manhattan Company, which
continue over that company's own
rails in the tubes to Church street,
Manhattan.
The Pennsylvania employees de-
mand they be employed on all trains
running over Pennsylvania rails.
There are fifteen train crews on the
Hudson and Manhattan trains, and
they ask that eight of these crews be
made up of their own men The
Pennsylvania company is tied up by
contract with tho Hudson and Man
haitian Company that cannot be ter
minated until after a years notice
This contract provides that the Hud-
son and Manhattan Company shall
employ all men on the trains
When the Pennsylvania company
abandoned part of its suburban serv-
ice by reason of its contract with the
Hudson and Manhattan Company all
the train crews were provided for, so
that the company maintains the men
have lost nothing, and if 1t had not
been for the contract the Hudson COM
pany would have used the rails of an
other line and there would have been
distinct loss to the men.

SAYS FORT

Former Governor j. Franklin Fort

Tor Chicago. carrying with him a
message from Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, with whom he had a con-
ference in New York, said there will
be no bolt by the Roosevelt forces.
lie declined to say whether this
opinion is based on any assurance he
has received from Colonel Roosevelt.
The former governor issued the fol-
lowing statement:
From this distance conditions in
Chicago look interesting. but thew are
not unusual They were almost as
bad four years ago and quite as
strained in 1884. The fight in 1895

these conventions.
The Old Guard are diseredited with
the people and wherever they have
mad a chance in the primaries
throughout the country the peonle
have overthrown them. If they arc
beaten In Chicago the party will pass
into new and younger hands. That is
what the people want.
THE talk of boiling is founded m
the hope rather than the expectation
1t Is the wise policy always to do that
which your political enemies do not
wish you to do.
"Of course the Old Guard wish us
to bolt. That will leave them in as
the organization. They do not care
anything about Mr.. Taft or anything
else except to hold down the jobs a nd
keep control of the machinery OF tho
party.
Il saw Colonel Roosevelt yesterday
He was as cool and calm as I have
ever seen him. He expects to win

be defeated by fraud--no other wav.
''The national committee in the
matter of contests has, so far. mt
changed the result i'm the least from
what we expected. with the possible
exception of two votes from one
State.
''If they give all the contested
delegates to Mr.. Taft his followers
will not have a majority of tho con-
yention. Probably no one will have
on the first ballot.
'AS IL looks now, the action of the
national committee will probably give
to the forty-six delegates of La Fol-
lette andt Cummins tne balance of
power in the convention. What will
that lead to? Ultimately, / think,
Colonel Roosevelt's nomination.
''If the Taft delegates break away

State Engines Here.

Prof. E. H. Mark, State Sanitary
Engineer, was in Lancaster this week
and appeared before the City Council
to give them his views on the proposed
extension to the local water plant.
Prof. Mark gave it as his opinion that
the very best thing we could do woul4
be to increase the capacity of the lake
now in use and to increase the capa-
city of the filter. He says that the
method of filtering in use here is the
most satisfactory one known, both
from sanitary and every other point,
and that the trouble with our filter is
that it is entirely too small for the
work demanded of it. Prof. Mark is
connected with the State Board of
Health and his visit here was wholly
gratuitous, and the advice which he
gave was entirely disinterested. Prof.
Mark was formerly principal of the
Public School of Louisville, and is a
gentleman of wide experience especial
ly in the matter of the providing of
sanitary appliances and the installing
of modern water plants.

Prominent Men Speak.

Prof. Barksdale Hamlett, State
Sup't of Public Instruction and Prof.
T. j. Coats, State Superintendent of
Rural Schools, spoke at the court house
Tuesday evening in the interest of the
proposed issue of bonds for the purpose
of erecting a new school building in
Lancaster. A large crowd was out to
hear the distinguished speakers and
their addresses proved very interesting.
Both of the gentlemen advocated the
erection of a large and commodious
school building, one that would be
capable of accommodating the pupils for
many years to come, regardless of in
crease in the patronage of the school
or it's proportions. Prof. Hamlet
paid nice compliment to the intelli-
gence of the community and the vari-
GUS advantages which the community
enjoyed in the way of improvements,
but said that the school building was
entirely out of keeping with the re-
mainder of the city. He advocated
the voting of bonds to the amount of
$50, 900 and erecting school building
second to none in the state in cities
the size of Lancaster.
