PENNSY READY IF
TRAINMEN STRIKE
Officials Tell of Plans to Have
Office Employees Run Trains;
Ask Protection
Special to the Telegraph

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 15.-In the
event of a railroad strike, officials of
the Pennsylvania Railroad say the
company will be able to give ample
train service. providing its property
and employees are protected against
violence. 1t was explained yesterday
that the trains would be manned by
crews selected from the large force of
employes who recently volunteered
their services to the company in case
of need.
According to one of the officials, the
loyalty of this force is remarkable.
Clerks and office heads, men un-
familiar with any form of manual
labor, have even expressed their will
ingness to act in the capacity of en-
gine wipers and oilers, should a strike
be declared. On the other hand, the
company has announced that it has
listed already the men who could be
called upon to act as conductors,
brakemen, engineers and -firemen.
Clerks as Trainmen
Naturally, tthe conductors will be
selected principally from among the
ONCE employees" explained the official
in discussing this matter. However;
1t must also be remembered that many
| or our employees have had experience
IN more than one branch of the serv-
ice, and among this number we have
found men capable of performing al
most any duty in connection with a
train"
When the call for volunteers was
sent out, more than a month ago, each
man was asked to sign up for the posi-
! ton which he considered himself best
suited; therefore, the company has
been able to estimate with more or
less accuracy just what kind of train
service it can probably render in case
/ of a strike.
So far as engineers are concerned,
| 1t has been announced that they will
be recruited principally from the shop
forces. According to an official state
ment an Overwhelming majority of
the shopmen have placed their serv-
ices at the disposal of the company.

In his speech at Coeur dAlene

ing to criticisms that he was not con-

he stood for a protective tariff, bud

lean money into streams a few inches

he said. How are you going to cor

Pana1na's Railroad
To Be Completed In
Month, Relief. Is

Panama, March 25.-Panama's own
little railway, the F'errocarril de Chi
riqui will be completed next month
and put in operation under govern
ment control Trains will be soperat-
ed to both Boquette and La Concep-
ton, one due north and the other west
of David, capital of Chiriqui Province.
The completion of the railway to
these two towns will be celebrated by
President Porras who personally will
visit the province and inspect the rail-
way. A large number of invited
guests from Panama and the Canal
Zone will accompany the president.
The total length of the line is about
so miles divided into three branches
one branch extends north from Da-
vid to Boquette, one west to La Con-
ception and a short one from Dolega,
on the Boquette line to the PoEtrerillos
sugar country. The main line touches
the coast at Pedregal, the port for Da-
vid, and one-half miles south.
AS soon as sufficient funds are avail
able the government of Panama will
tart sanitation work in David, the cap
ital of the province of ChiriQui. Plans
are now being made to build a sewage
system and provide the city with a
water system. Both can be readily
constructed because the city streets
have not yet been laid out permanent
1y. Ample fresh water can be readily
obtained from Rio David, large
mountain stream near the town.

SUFFRAGE NEWS
(Mrs. Edward Porritt. Hartford.)

MRS. Edward Porritt, FIartford)
Hundreds of Connecticut women
have just been making their first
plunge into real politics. They have
been going through the process of be-
ing made voters, and it is interesting
to hear the accounts given by the wo-
men who have passed through this
sion seems one of surprise that the
officials were so courteous and helpful
and that there was nothing disagree
able whatever in connection with the,
placing of their names on the register.
Why they should imagine that Ameri-
can men should be otherwise than
courteous to American women it is
difficult to say. The surprise seems
due to the widespread impression
that when a woman entered politics
even though she chad been invited to
take part by the action of the State
Legislature in comforting on her the
right to vote for school questions she
forfeited all claim to cE1ivalry and ex-
bosed herself to the necessity Of hav-
ing ito fight her way to the polls.
This impression is of course due TO
the insistence of the Anti-Sunrag1sts
that physical force is at the basis OF
government, and that therefore Wo-
men are out of place when they even
make a step towards the polling booth.
The reason for the great increase in
the registration Of women is that the
various suffrage leagues and clubs
have stirred up interest in the matter:
The Suffragists insist that, although it
is only a Scrap of their rights which
has been granted to them, they ought
to use such rights as they have. 1t
is somewhat discouraging to find that
the school vote amounts to SO very lit
tie. In many cases the election of
certain candidates is a foregone con-
clusion, and the women can really ac-
compIish almost nothing by their
votes. But there are cases in which
the women may cast the deciding bal
lots between a good candidate can
didate who has the real interests of
the schools at heart, and a bad can
didate, a candidate who will serve the
machine rather than the children.
over twenty Connecticut towns owe
the improvement of their schools to
the interest and activity of the women
voters, and they have certainly justi-
fed the action of the Legislature in
giving them the vote. Not single
instance has ever been put forward in
which the women voters have injured
the schools. The influence of the wo-
men has not been exercised as widely
as might be wished, but wherever it
has been exercised it has been for
good and not for evil. Every year
sees this interest strengthen and in
the elections this spring the women
will be more in evidence than ever
before.

HORSES SUFFER
BY PAVEMENT
Wood Block and Asphalt
Cruel, Says DIR. Rowley.
Boston. March Z. 1916.


To the Editor of Boston Post:
Sir-The greatest cruelty from
which the horses of Boston are suffer-
ing to-day is due to the pavements the
city has laid. 1t is difficult to write
with moderation with the scenes of
yesterday fresh in mind. There were
sections, like that on Milk street, from
the postoffice to Oliver street, where
it was positive torture for the horses
to travel. Even horses well shod
and drawing empty wagons were slip
ping, losing their footing, and strain
ing every nerve to keep from falling.
The society's agents, trying to cover
the city as best they could, reachedNthe
locality above referred to a little be-
fore 4 o'clock. In an hour they had
helped to their feet score of fallen
horses.
BY continuing to lay the wooden
block and asphalt pavements through
the streets where the heavy teaming is
done, the city of Boston is inf1icting
upon the horses that must travel these
streets cruelty that is unworthy of a
humane community. In no better
way can it waste and ruin our horses
and destroy the livelihood of those
dependent upon the teaming busines
for a living.
Who is responsible? Largely the
owners of the buildings AUDITING on
these streets who, after urging the city
with all the influence at their com
nand, that such so-cal1ed noiseless
and dustless pavements be laid, won
der why horses are constantly falling,
and lay the blame upon improper
shoeing. Grant that many team own
ers neglect to have their horses prop
erIy shod, that some overload, there
are days when it is not a question of
sharp caulks or of the load on the
wagon, but simply of pavements upon
which traffic with safety is utterly inn
possible.
However, in the future the auto
truck may supplant the draught horse;
it is doing it now only in a slight de-
gree, and that not for short hauls. At
the best it will be years during which
our horses must travel our streets, and
Justice and humanity, as well as econ
omy, demand that while they serve us
with an unQuestioned fidelity, and are
being worn out for the prosperity of
the city, they be given some fair OPP
portunity to do their work without
having added to the load the torture
of the worst pavements over which
horses were ever asked to travel.
If the hundreds who protest to US
about the conditions, and complain
because we do not change them, would
be present with us at hearings before
the street commissioners when new
pavements are considered, and join
their plea with ours for safe roads for
horses, this evil could be, in part at
least, prevented for the future.
Most truly yours,
FRANCIS H~ROWLEY,
President of the Massa chusetts Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals.
