PASSENGER TRAINS
SURE TO Be TIED UP
Railroad Strike Will Not Affect
Country's Freight Trans
portation Alone.

What effect the strike will have on
passenger service is of great present
Importance to the public. 1t was au-
thoritatively stated today in the camp
of each of the contending parties, by
those holding power of attorney. that
the strike as now planned is to tie up
passenger as well as freight trans
portation.
Warning that the strike. as called,
does not exempt any branch OF serv-
ice and calls out those who man the
milk. mail and passenger trains is given
today In a statement by Howard Elliott,
president of the New York. New Haven
and Hartford railroad.
Members of the committee OF $40,
while in Washington, said that in the
event of strike the efforts OF the
brotherhoods would in the early stages,
at least, be concentrated on the freight
service. Today the few who remain say
that the strike affects passenger as well
as freight trains.
Not Concerned in Demands.
The men who handle the passenger
trains are not concerned in the demands
out of which the present critical condi-
ton has grown. Years ago they got on
a pay basis what Is equivalent to an
eight-hour day with pro rata overtime
Their salaries are based on mileage or
monthly guarantee, according as they
handle high-speed or low-speed trains.
But the brotherhood leaders claim
that the strike call applies to the pas
senger conductors, engineers and train
men and that they will heed the order
lust as promptly as the members in
freight train service who would benefit
by the granting of the demands now
in controversy.
Clears Up Misunderstanding.
In reply to many inquiries that have
been made regarding the scope of the
threatened strike and to clear up any
misunderstanding as to whether pas
senger trains will be affected, Presi-
dent Elliott Of the New Haven system
has given out the following statement
showing that all classes of train Serv-
Ice would be involved:
In his address to Congress Tuesday
the President said: The four hundred
thousand men from whom the demands
proceeded had voted to strike if their
demands were refused the strike was
Imminent; 1t has since been set for the
4th of September next. 1t affects the
men who man the freight trains on
practically every railway in the coun-
try. The freight service throughout
the United States must stand still until
their places are filled. If. indeed. it

THE address Of the President viii be
pie than any other statement about
this unfortunate situation. Those who
have not followed the subject carefully
and do not understand its complexity
may assume from the Presidents Ian
guage that a strike order win have no
erect upon passenger train service
This Is not the case, and included In
the order to strike ara all men in pas
senger train service who are members
Of the various brotherhooda.
Instructions to Men.
TN the detailed Instructions issued
by the officers of the organizations to
the members the first paragraph says:
I. No man in road service involved
In the strike will perform any service
after the hour set for the strike q am.
September 4th) unless he has already
begun g. trip and has actually left the
terminal. If the train has left the ter
minal he will complete the trip and de-
liver the engine and train at the end
OF the run or tie-up point If tied up
under the law Sixteen hour law),
after which he will perform no further
service until the close Of the strike.
Men in other than road service will
leave the service at the appointed time.
So far as your legal right to strike is
concerned there is no difference be-
tween a mail train and a freight train.
You have identically the same right to
refuse to perform service on a mail
train as you have to refuse to per-
form service on freight train
The public the press and the Con-
gress should understand clearly that
the strike order affects the men who
man the passenger. mail, milk and ex-
press trains, just as much as those on
the freight trains. and that these
classes Of service also must stand still
until their places are filed"

RAILROADS PREPARE
FOR GREAT STRIKE
Provision Made to Police Every
Mile of Track and Yards of
Eastern Systems.
Is FELT THAT EMPLOYEES
CANNOT AFFORD TO ACT
Heads Carrier Thinks That in Face
of Presidents Suggestion for
Legislation Workers Must Wait.

Although the railway presidents feel
that in the face of Mr.. Wilson's sug-
gestions for legislation the employees
cannot afford to strike they have not
overlooked any element of preparation
for the strike order. Provision has been
made to police every mile Of track and
yards of all the great eastern systems
where the brotherhoods are particularly
strong.
Orders not to accept perishaole
freight for shipment were issued; by
many lines notices were Issued TO
prospective passengers that unless they
could complete their journeys oe1ore
Z o'clock Monday morning they wouid
risk delays.

May Not Oppose Eight-Hour Day.

Although they are not expected openly
to oppose an eight-hour day, 1t was APP
parent last night that it is not entirely
satisfactory to them. They are not kindly
disposed to any congressional SUGGESTION
for an increase in freight rates because
the shippers of the country have come out
squarely, they say, against any added
burden of the kind. II their hopes were
realized Congress would act on legisla
ton for creating a commission for tenn
porary government operation at once.
Although the executives say it seems
strange on its face that they would
oppose provisions for rate increase,
they point out that the railroads have
only in the last few years attained a
position where they feel that the public
has gained measure of confidence in
them and their management. and they
are said to believe that another rate
increase at this time. no matter how
procured, would set them back many
years in public regard.
Some of the presidents who view the
whole trouble in it's broadcast light
hold the opinion that out of it all
will come agitation for government
ownership and an organized effort on
the part of the other labor organiza-
tions. the opening of the long pre-
dicted gigantic struggle between cap
ital and labor.

Presidents Leave for Homes.

Many of the railway presidents left
for their headquarters, announcing they
considered 1t necessary to be near the
properties. The managers conference
committee, which has full authority TO
deal with the workmen, remained mere.
No general agreement was reached on
the question of embargoes. With vary,
ing conditions each road was expected
to act for itself.
Railroad managers here said all lines
probably would take action similar 10
that ordered by the Santa Fe, TO pre-
tect themselves in case of strike, out
that no concerted action had been
agreed upon and each road would
adopt its own precautions.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-08-30
To Fight Individually.

The roads will fight a strike fnd1Vid-
ually and not collectively. Many OF
them, the executives declare. will be
run more than so per cent efhclent,
particularly on several western lines.
where there is a personal sense of 10y
atty to the management. or where the
proposal to strike was not encouraged
and not supported SO strongly as on
some eastern roads.
What percentage of their trains the
eastern roads can operate is guesswork.
At one time there was plan to operate
only $4,000 miles of the 100000 or more
in the United States, for traffic on main
arteries north, south, east and west. 1t
was abandoned, however, because 1t was
pointed out that the sympathy of the
public and it's support of the railroad
position might depend to a large degree
on the train service and the capacity OF
the roads to continue to transport the
necessities of life.
The railroad presidents and managers
who remain here will continue con-
sideration of plans to meet the strike
situation. but will watch Congress and
the brotherhood chiefs.

The Baltimore whiskey ring is in
q panic over the State wide prohi-
bition bill before the Legislature,
and has been bombarding members
of the General Assembly with let
ters, petitions and delegations, and
spending money like water in big
advertisements in the Baltimore
dailies in their attempts to create
sentiment for their dying cause.
The whiskey crowd all over the
land is on the run these days, and
the Baltimore ring sees the death
of their dirty business in the
measure before the Legislature,
hence is resorting to every means
possible, fair and corrupt, priDci-
pally the latter, to kill the bill
The people of this State court an
open fight with these booze cham
pions, but the vets do not fight
this way, and are in deathly fear
that the measure permitting State
wide vote on the whiskey question
will get before the people.
The Baltimore whiskey ring
knows what the result will be, in
the event of vote, and SO are pour.
ing out cash like water to beat the
measure in the Legislature.
The temperance people should
give their representatives in the
Legislature the sustaining influence
of letting them hear from the
ssfolks back home" telling how in
tensely the lovers of law, order and
home are watching the fight on the
State wide prohibition bill, and
urging them to continue to give
this measure vigorous support, and
to oppose any amendent that would
exempt Baltimore from its provis
ions.

The Fundamental error of the ad
vocates of s'scaredness" says the
Commoner, is that they ask the
country to plan for POSSIBILI
TIES instead of probabilities. All
things are possible, and there is,
therefore, no limit to the amount of
preparedness which we need if we
undertake to provide against every
imaginable contingency. Suppose,
for instance, that we had navy
twice as large as the navyof Great
Britain, or even twice as large as
all the other naVies put together.
That would look like sufficient pre-
paredness on the sea, and yet it is
possible that storm might destroy
our superiority in night. We
might have an army of 5000, 900
men, all in camp and under arms,
and yet plague might destroy the
camps and leave US helpless in a
week. There is no reason why
common sense rules should be
merely because design
ing profit seekers are able to scare
timid people with false alarms.
Common sense suggests that we
consider probabilities only, not
possibilities, and if we consider
only probabilities we can not doubt
that we are safer from danger to-
day than we have been at any time
before in half century.
