a strike vote being taken on the New
Haven road.
The governor told the union officials
that their letter was written upon the
assumption that your organization is
engaged in a private calling and that
the state or nation will in some way
trespass upon the rights and freedom
of your members if 1t undertake to
regulate the conditions of employ
nlent''
This assumption" the governor said.
'is wholly inadmissfbIe.r His letter
continued:
THE railroads of the country are en-
gagged in public calling and are, there
fore, subject to public regulation.
When your organization adopts a
course of action which would disor-
ganize the business of our citizens,
throw la Dor out of employment and in
terfere with the supply of food and fuel,
it is subject to control just as much
as the railroad would be if, in similar
manner it refused to operate it's trains
or otherwise perform it's duties as
public carrier.
The failure of your organization to
realize that its members are engaged
in a public calling is further evidenced
in that it has taken a vote on the
strike before the completion of negotia-
lions with the company and, therefore,
before either members of the organiza-
ton or the public, which is really
party to the controversy, are in po-
sition to know fully the facts in the
case and the proper course to pursue
Taking a vote on the strike in adj
vance of the conclusion of negotia-
lions seems to indicate a desire to force
a settlement by intimidating rather
than by free discussion of the merits
Your letter makes it clear that the
rule of seniority is the real issue be-
tween your organization and the New
Haven road It does not, however,
present any new arguments in favor of
the rule and will not warp the mind
of fair minded men"

brates 1O1st Birthday.

Carlisle, Pa, Oct 6.-Mrs Samuel
Sipe, who was a child friend of Molly
Pitcher and resident of Carlisle for
"a years, celebrated her 101st birthday
here Sunday.
Mrs Sipe wildly recalls history span
ming century and is in possession OF
all her faculties.
She recalls Molly Pitcher, the heroine
of Monmouth and refutes the assertion
that she is buried in any other place
than in Carlisle where memorials have
been placed over the woman's grave.
Mrs. Sipe was born in Switzerland in
1872 and came to Carlisle when she was
years old when the place was but the
hunting ground for settlers in the Cum

Seattle Newspaper Plant Damaged to
Extent of S15O,O0O.

Seattle, Wash. Oct. 6.-The Seattle
Times is the victim of another fire.

flooded. Ten firemen were overcome
by smoke and gas and had to be car

the loss at s150,000, possibly more
The fire mysteriously burst forth at
1870 a. M, from one of the lockers
of the stereoptying force, located in
the rear part of the basement press
room. At the time there was but one
man, John Scrowcroft, a stereotyper,
in the entire press room and Stere-

lowered into the basement by the ele-
vator operator and was changing his
forth as by an explosion from the
locker Immediately back of him.
Scrowcroft gave the alarm. Flames
and smoke shot out from doors and
windows in the basement
BY the time the firemen got to the
scene the basement itself was black
with smoke. For an hour the fremen
had to fight the fire from the street.
Finally they managed to smother II
sufficiently to allow them to get down
inside the basement A few minutes
after they had made their way into
the press room a series of nluffled
explosions probably four or five, oc-
CURED. This forced the gas which had
been gathering near the ceiling down
upon the men, rapidly overcoming
them.
Managing Editor Blethen stated
that there had been no occasion for
any one to go near the lockers for
twelve hours prior to the arrival of
Scrowcroft. The latter, as was his
custom, had gone into the press room
