At least, he had first been so resolved;

White Horse did not quite see fit to ig-

New York Central Will 90.
Refuse Operators Demands;
May Strike Tomorrow
By .4ssocfntcd Press

New York. May 3.-The demands of
telegraphers and signalmen on the
lines of the New York Central and
Nickel Plate railroads for increased
wages and better hours will not be
granted it was announced here to-day
by A. T. Hardin, a president of
the New York Central.
A strike, which, according to the
employees, would involve 5000 men,
had been set to begin tomorrow, but
II. b. Perham, president of the Order
of Railroad Telegraphers, said that
reasonable time would be granted the
railroad officials TO give further con-
sideration to the demands.
Mr. Hardin would not discuss pub
lished reports that the roads have been
rushing men to various cities between
here and Chicago to act as strike
breakers should the telegraphers and
signalmen walk out.
THE New York Central is a public
service corporation and any strike
would not affect operation of train
service" Mr.. Hardin said. we do
not expect that men will quit except in
a few isolated cases. We have offered
to meet them and to deal fairly with
them, and if they decide to strike we
shall have other men ready to fill their
places. There will be no interruption
of schedules

Tells of Mobs Actions.
About p. m. Richards replied in
a long telegram which recounted in
detail the actions of the mob, the
plants attacked, the loss of life and
the damage done, closing with the
following:
With the limited force of men
which we have been able to assem-
bic to meet this tumult the riotous
condition can not be broken up or
suppressed and unless immediate ac-
tion can be taken the destruction of
property running into millions of dol
lars will doubtless result and many

the figures culled from 1nat sheaf:
o'clock last -eXening, orders
were received at the railroad head
quarters to have a stock car-one
equipped for carrying horses-a COM
bination baggage car and coach, and
two day coaches ready for the move
ment of troops as early as possible.
preparing the stock car for passen-
ger service requires time under any
circumstances. Passenger safety de-
vices have to be attached. steam heat
connections made and hundred and

etc, have to be looked to in the car
shops before such a car is ready for
service in passenger train. However
at 1850 this morning the car was ready
and waiting on the Maclay street sid
ing. Just forty minutes later, the
coaches and the combination car were
coupled on. In the meantime, three
baggage cars were being prepared for
loading camp equipment and other
supplies at Market street and by 4:10
o'clock these cars were waiting Al
4:1O a. m. the troop train pulled away
from Maclay street station; at sos the
camp train followed.
So much for the Pennsy's share in
the big program of troop handling.
With Ear to Phone
Throughout yesterday members of
the Governors Troop and the infan-
trymen of Companies D and I read
the news dispatches from the western
part of the State with more than ordi-
nary interest; and few. if any, made
any plans to go far from home. Nearly
everybody remained close to a phone
Shortly after o'clock. Captain
George c. Jack, commander of the
Troop, after a conference with the
Adjutant General. left the Capitol for
the armory and began calling up num-
bers on a telephone list. These were
the residences of the other commits

squad leaders"-of the
Troop.

Cleveland Carmen Unable
to Agree With Company;
Will Take Strike Vote
BY Associatcd Press

Cleveland, Ohio, May 3.-With a
difference of 100000 in wages for
two years between the carmen's de-
mands and the offer of the Cleveland
Railway Company officials, union lead
ers to-day were seeking a hall for
mass meetings of the men tonight,
when strike vote will be taken.
Both sides made concessions at con-
ferences held late yesterday under the
direction of Mayor Harry l.. Davis,
who is trying hard to avert strike
without endangering 3-cent fares. To-
day the Mayor said:
''I wouldn't bet either way on the
question of whether there will be a
strike. l know that the final word
has been said as far as the city and
the company are concerned. More
concessions will endanger 3-cent fare
and the administration does not intend
to permit that"
Cannot Agree
The men originally demanded 40
cents an hour and a minimum day of
eight hours for 80 per cent of the
men. The company offered 80 cents
for first-year men and 33 cents for
others at once and a. further increase
of a cent an hour TO all May /. 1917.
The men now get 30 and 32 cents. At
last nights conferences the men re-
duced their demands to 32 and So
cents an hour, with a minimum day of
five hours now and eight hours May l,
1917, also asking twenty minutes pay
for taking cars into and out of barns
and time for making trips to barns for
relief work The company offered 81
and 81 cents now. with 80 and 35 cents
May /, 1917, and a FIVE hour minimum
day. but refused the other demands.
The company says its proposition

that the regular fellows do it more as
if it were all in the days work: there
isn't that quiet eXuberance about it
with them as characterizes the activ-
lty OF the husky youths of the National
Huafd. The scenes about the Troop
armory last evening might have been
mighty interesting to military observ-
ers, United States Army and-for-

busy with that job-being sisterly,
that is.
At the Armory
Nearly every trooper responded to
the call to quarters, although Captain
Jack himself used the phone freely in
order that none might he missed
While the troopers changed swiftly
from modishly-dressed youths into
ollVe-drabbed, putteed soldiers, the
quartermaster's department was busy
dealing out blankets, light marching
kits, shelter tents, etc.
Ample supplies of ammunition, ever
ready for service at the armorv were
packed away for distribution enroute.
Rifles and sabers were inspected and
eXultant troopers buckled on auto
matics and spurs. With his campaign
hat pulled down over his eyes. Cap
tain Jack coolly puffed away at a
cigar and issued the hundred and one
instructions that got the Troop ready
Tor the saddle in such short order.
How They Got 1.-THE Word''
Some quaint stories of how the
troopers got the word were chuckled
over, as the men changed from civilian
to soldiers clothes. One man was
only half shaved when a COMPANION
eXcitedly whispered the tip: another

and reluctantly answered the call: a
corporal, happy groom of but two
days, took rather a heart breaking

story was told in the barracks, at any
rate. And at that there were some

For these men, horses were pro-
vided upon their arrival. The officers
looked to that. For instance when

Governors Orders Follow
ReiterGtiOn of Demand For
Troops by Sheriff Richards

The call for the National Guards
men to go into service was issued last
night about 10:40. In the afternoon
Governor Brumbaugh. who had been
asked for troops by Sheriff Richards
conferred with Adiutant General
Stewart and Attorney General Brown

Governor arranged to be kept inform
ed by telephone and when the sheriff
reiterated his demand for troops the
men were ordered out.
Sheriff Richards sent two kilograms
outlining the situation and asking fol
troops. The first came at 1928 and
was as follows:
Situation in Allegheny county is alb
solutely beyond our control. Already
bloodshed and destruction of property
against our strongest resistance AS
Sheriff l now demand from you such
assistance and help as is uthorized
by law.
To this the Governor replied:
George w. Richards Sheriff of AL
legheny county, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Your telegram received stating that
the situation in Allegheny county is
absolutely beyond your control. that
already there has been bloodshed and
destruction of property against your
strongest resistance as Sheriff, and
demanding from the Governor such
assistance and help as is authorized
by law. The preservation of law
and order is primarily the duty of the
Sheriff. and it is requested that you
advise the Governor what you have
done as Sheriff: how many deputies
have you placed on duty, and what
other steps have you taken to preserve
the public peace? Advise fully as to
what destruction of property has oc-
Cured and how many lives have been
lost, and give full information as to
the riotous assemblages that you state
have interfered with the public peace
and that are now beyond your con-
troll. The Governor must have COM
plete justification for the use OF
State troops.
