NEW YORK CAR STRIKE
 NOW AT CRISIS STAGE
Company Will Use Strike Breakers to Fill All Jobs Beginning
 This Afternoon

New York, Sept. 9.--Both sides in the street railway strike expected a crisis today when the traction com pany tried to re-eStablish normal serv- ice on it's surface lines through the use of strike breakers. The strikers have been notified that by renounc- ing allegiance to the union they may get their jobs back up to 1 o'clock this afternoon. After that the company reserves the right to use strike breakers to fill the places of em- ployes whose assertion has reduced the number of green line" surface cars in operation by about 80 per cent.
 The New York Railways Company which operates the surface lines crip- pied by the strike, again withdrew all its cars last night but when the cars were sent out again this morning the company announced that hereafter 8 regular A hour service would be maintained.
 At a meeting last night of the Central Federated Union, representing a half million trade unionists in Kew York city, 1t was announced that plans are being considered to call strikes in other branches of labor to support the traction men, on Che ground that their fight involves the main principle of organized labor.
 The Central Federated Union adopted a resolution requesting Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, to come here and take charge of the situation.
 John P. Riley, president of the dis trict council of the International ongshoremen's association, said to- day that he had instructed the 1900 members of the Tidewater Boatmens union not to handle any barges laden with coal destined for Interborough Rapid Transit company's power houses.
 The order Riley claimed, also affects coal passers employed by the Inter borough, and will cripple, if not en- trely stop, the Interborough system, which includes the subways and ele- vated roads of Manhattan and Bronx. |

They Want to Corral Power
 Again, Says Vice President
THAT'S THEIR ONLY REASON
Marshall Tells Kentucky Audience Hughes Speeches Are Merely Echoes of Criticism by Long
 Minded c. O. P. Orators in Senate.

Winchester, Ky, Aug. 9.-Repub- lican criticism of the Wilson admins tration was reviewed by Vice Presi- dent Marshall in a speech here today, with the conclusions that the main reason offered the country for turning out the democrats was the desire of the republicans to get in, and that former Justice Hughes campaign statements were but echoes of often heard partisan orations in the senate.
 Just now, chief interest in the re- publican candidate for president con- sists in ascertaining whether he be- longs to the progressive face or the stand-pat neck of his party,' said MT. Marshall.
 'Manifestly, it is a difficult task to talk in tones sufficiently vague and un- certain to please both Roosevelt and Barnes, both Penrose and LaFO1lette. for three years and more it has been my fortune or misfortune to head the speeches made in the senate Of the United States. The republican can d'date is now repeating these speeches In abbreviated form from the stump.
 Merely Echoes.
 When the candidate announced
 
 tariff, I recognized the oft-expressed views of Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire. When he declared that we were dwelling in a fools paradise, l heard an echo of the voice of Reed Shoot of Utah. When he talked about Mexico I could shut my eyes and see before me the figure of Senator Fall When he condemned 'rork, in connection with rivers and harbors bills, ] tasted again in homeo- pathic doses the speeches, weary hours long, of former Senator Burton of Ohio, who was chairman of the house committee on rivers and har- bors for so many years that he we'll knew about the pork in the bills he had fathered. And when the candi- date assaulted the civil service record Of the administration, I realized that he had heard from that political purist, Boise Penrose of Pennsylvania
 Up to this time, reasons why demo- crats should be put out of power are left to the imagination. The main reason seems to be that the republi- cans just want control again. The country Is satisfied with trade con- ditions and with business which is unprecedently large; the people are satisfied with the record of achieve ments, which includes more remedial legislation than ever was written by any two administrations; our op- ponents fail in their speeches and in their platform to promise anything in the way of repeal or substitutes. .'

HUGHES ASSAILS
 SHIPPING BILL
Claims Democratic Measure Is Direct Blow at Maine Industry
SPEAKS AT BRUN s WICK
Republican Presidential Nominee Winds Up Campaign in Pine Tree RockIand-EIection Monday.

Brunswick, Me-. Sept. 9.-Before a big audience in the Town hall here to- day, MT. Hughes attacked the admin istration's shipping bill.
 Our friends on the other side have made the matter of a shipping bill a. direct blow at the shipping interests of Maine," he said. Eff enacted into law 1t would mean disaster for the shipping interests of this state.
 Its provisions for the chartering, buying and leasing of ships show a. failure to understand the requirements of that great industry. The proposal to place foreign built ships in the coastwise trade of the United States discloses an economic attack on an industry which the State of Maine should foster and desire to see built up and encouraged"

REPUBLICANS OUT IN
 FORCE AT COMPOUNCE
Third Ward Republicans Have Bar becue and Banner Raising-.Lack
 Of Enthusiasm Is Noticeable.

The campaign is on. The first gun of the 1916 battle of bal lots from republican stand point was fired this after noon, when the barbecue of the Third Ward Republican club held forth at Lake Compounce and aided by the beautiful autumnal weather a mann moth crowd responded to the efforts of the committee to make the affair a success. The parade could be viewed in two respects viz, congress of na- tions or a demonstration of automo- piles, there being about every design of gasoline controlled vehicle In the line. Touring cars, coupes, f1ivvers and some others that looked as if they had seen service at some time In the jitney business were among the per- am bulators. One thing of beauty was the prominent manner in which Old Glory was thrown to the breezes.
 Shortly aftr noon, the first signs of life shown by the G. O. P. since Hughes was nominated became evil dent in the vicinity of Franklin square when the automobiles began to as- semble for the start of the parade. At 1 o'clock that gallant frearm that has so often tried to start something in
 
 peal of noise, many of the residents becoming frightened at it. Then the parade was on. Up Main street the machines drove, while the American band played sweet melodies, still there was no noise or apparent interest by the riders, the band finally resort1ng to the old time stunt of playing the ''Star Spangled Banner,' just to deter mine if enthusiasm existed Tn the crowd, but if it did it was not ex- hibited
 The Haunting of the Hughes and Fairbanks banner was one of the pre- liminaries of the afternoons program. Pedestrians on Main street during the next two months may view the beautiful banner, it's location being in front of the Le Witt block. Noticeable in contrast to other banners IS the ab- sence of the photos of the candidates. The beautiful growths of hlrsute so dear to the hearts of tolsorlal artists is one Of the things which is not con- tained on the banner
 Noti ceable among the distin guished guests were the speaker ofs the day, Senator w. G. Harding of Ohio, who rode in the first car with William T. Sloper Next came United States Sen ator F. B. Brandegee, who voted against the eight-hour law in congress recently, and another figure was Con- gressman P. D. Oakley who didn't vote at all. Governor Holcomb in the third machine received a big . reception along the line. Little republicans, big republicans and some who aspire for recognition in the ranks of the G. O. P. were there using up gasoline which now sells at 22 cents a gallon. Oh, yes, it was 9 great day for the republicans in New Britain.
 An amusing incident occurred which caused some of the wags and humor- tsts to get in their little joke, when in front of the brilliant banner, 8 hearse joined in the parade.

Rumanan Invasion Progresses

Berlin, Sept g, by wireless to Sayl ville.-Correspondents with the Bull gartan and German forces which ard invading Rumania report that along the Black Sea coast an advance of 30 Kilometres (about 50 miles) beyond the frontier already has been made. They express the opinion that the pro- gress of the invaders, who have oc- cupied several important positions on the coast and elsewhere in Dobrudia. explains the irresolution and com parative inactivity of the Rumaniar forces which, having invaded Transyl- vania, are now merely sending out small attachments to reconnoiter.
 Not only Rumanians but Russians have been defeated by the Bulgarians in Dobrudja, the correspondents saw and this destroys the legend that Bull garians will not fight Russians
