HUGE TRACTORS
TO HAUL HEAVY
FIELD ORDINANCE
Three. Caterpillar Engines Now
on Way Here viii Be Used
at Schofield

Three big tractor engines Of the
Holt Caterpillar type. consigned to.the
1st Field Artillery at Schofield Bar
racks, have been shipped from the
factory at Peoria. Illinois, and are ex-
pected to arrive here within a few
days.
The tractors will be used to haul
heavy field artillery, taking the place
of horses. which have always been
used on the islands. and are purchased
with the idea of use in either peace
or war
As many as 16 horses have at times
been found necessary to draw heavy
artillery through the mud, and while
the caterpillars are not able to devel-
op as much speed as horses, they
have the advantage of going over prac-
tically any sort of country with their
loads.
In peace times they will be used in
field drills and maneuvers. The de-
partment here has several six-inch
field pieces which will be hauled
by the big tractors
Five similar motor tractors and
eight motor trucks are under contract
for use by one of the 47-inch gun
batteries Of the 5th Field Artillery,
Fort Sill, Oklahoma

tAs.oeiatsd Prsss By Federal wirslsssI

NEW YORK, September 23---The
street railway strike in'this city sssum.
ed the most serious aspect yesterday
since the strike began, when representa-
tives Of allied trades unanimously voted
to marguerite a sympathetic. strike on
next Wednesday. That o sympathetic
strike would be called was announced
by Hugh Frayne, state organizer Of the
American Federation of Labor
The meeting was attended by repre-
sentatiyes for. practically, every indus.
try in Greater New York and after
every phase Of the situation had been
gone over in an attempt to find some
means Of bringing the strike to an end
with victory for the carmen, the ques-
ton of calling n sympathetic strike was
PIT to a vote. There was not dis
senting voice in the meeting and when
the roll was called II was found that
the delegates had voted TO a man to
call out all the, workers in the city who
are organized.
All Industries Threatened .
, Unless some step Is taken in the
meantime every industry in this city
viii come to standstill on Wednesday.
II is estimated that nearly million
men will lay down their tools or walk
from their shops in answer to the call.
This will mean complete standstin Of
all the activities in the metropolis.
T. In taking this step the labor leaders
declare that no other avenue is open
the point Ct considering the demands of
the carmen and to recognize the union.
They also declare that union men can
not ride on cars that are operated by
strike breakers and maintain their self
respect. Furthermore they declare that
the cars are operated by inexperienced
men and that to ride on them is danger
Gus. They probably will issue a call
to the public to refrain from using the
cars on the ground that il is not safe
10 ride in them while they are in the
hands of strike breakers.
General Tieup Means Victory,
Officers of the labor unions we're op-
timistic last night over che result Of
walkOut, and point to the fact that
when all means of transportation are
stopped other industries will come to
halt because it will be impossible to
get employees to and from their work.
They believe that the general tieup
will result in bringing the strike to q
rapid end.
Notice was issue last night that
Mayor Mitchell had completed, his pre-
partitions to invoke all the civil power
he possesses to suppress any disorders
arising from sympathetic demonstra'
tiOns.
The state arbitration board has post
poEed the meeting called for Monday
to discuss mediatory plans. 1t is
thought that the board wiI-ewait the
result of the sympathetic strike that
has been called for Wednesday. IL nc
agreement is reached at that time the
belief is current that the board will
take the matter in its own hands and
force both the companies and tho
| unions to arbitrate.
