With these figures in hand the COM
mlssioners are nearfy reaGy to fix the
tax rate for the year although the mill
age will not be definitely decided upon
until after the revision of the sess-
ments has been completed.
To Figure on Mills
However, 1t is understood that the
county authorities, in fixing the rate
Will figure on a four-mill basls-the
present tax rate. County officials even
went so far to-day to say that the pres
ent four-mill rate will likely stand for
the ensuing year.
The estimated appropriations COM
pare very favorably with the budget
of previous years. Last year $394,-
1912 was expended.
The appropriations estimated for
1916 for the various departments OF
the county government according to
Mr.. Coughs budget follows:
County commissioners, $14,906;
treasury, $3.50; controllers office
$4,075; coroner's Office. $2,675; dis

Equips Trains For Emergency
Service; Deny Prospective
Strike Is Factor

Preparedness has been made a
part OF the Safety First" program OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad. At Altoona
shops old Pullman cars are being
transformed to sleeping and eating
quarters for men. These cars will be
made up of special trains of from six
to eight cars each and one train will be
stationed at each terminal. to be used
In case of emergency.
Officials deny that this preparation
is an indication that they expect a
strike as a result of the recent de-
mands for higher wages and shorter
hours. These cars. 1t is said. are for
the use of men who may be called
from one division to another to repair
damages caused by floods. fires or
other destroying elements. That these
trains are simply a combination of
commissary and sleeping cars, to be
used when large forces of men are
called out.
There are fifty cars at Altoona shops
undergoing alterations. Each train
will be equipped to accommodate 200
men. One car on each train will be
used as kitchen and to take care of
supplies. Other cars will be divided

Unions Stand Solid on
Demands Declares Stone

w. A. Stone, grand chief of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
has issued this statement, which last
night was Variously interpreted by
labor men, according to their personal
preferences, as being for or against a
national railroad strike, should the
companies refuse the demands which
the railroad unions are to present:
Il am not going to raise any red
flag, but 1 am steadfast in my deci-
sion to be determined and firm in the
demands to be submitted to the rail-
roads.
For the first time in the history of
the railroad unions they are all united.
There never has been such q general
disposition on the part of the railroad
employees of the country to act as a
unit.
This was shown at all conferences
of the representatives of the various
railroad mems organizations that have
so far been held on the question of
the demands. All international dissen-
.sions were ruled out and all factional
and other disputes of any kind which
would interfere with the general au-
tonomy of the national eight hour
movement among the railroad men
of the country have been laid aside"
Grand Chief Stone is said to hold
strongly the opinion that if the rail-
roads could once be convinced that
the memberships of the railroad broth
erhoods of the country were really de-
termined to work solidly together for
an eight-hour day even to the extent
of national strike to gain it, they will
make the concessions asked.
With the balloting on the eight hour
day referendum still going on in the
1000 lodges of T. four great railroad
unions all over tbs country reports yes
terday were that the leaders of those
unions were more confident than ever
that their plan of federation would go
through and that with the unions
united the railroads would have to
capitulate.

The Comparisons
Exclusive of the appropriations for
the prison board and the poor direc-
tors, the estimates expenditures for
the county amount to some eighteen
thousand dollars less than last year.
1915 it was $302,S9S.O1; in 1914 it
was $273,537.87.
The commissi figuring on
spending about S352.97 more for aid
ermen and justices costs this year
than during the past year as $500
is appropriated for this purposes for
1916 as compared to $8.352.97 in
1915.
Less For Roads and Bridges
Less than half as much is appropri-
ated for bridges for the ensuing year
than in 1915. AS compared to an out
lay of $47,95466 for that purpose in
1915, the county authorities iigure
that only $4,000 will be needed for
bridge building this year. The eX-
penditure for roads will be less too.
it is estimated. In 1915 the total was
13,7S1.SS; the road estimates for
1916 total just $11,250 In 1916 much
of the bridge building that was started
in 1914 was finished up however; this
applies also to the construction and
maintenance of roads. Among the
new items in the budget this year are
$3.50 for salaries for steward and mat
ron at the House of Detention, $1,000
for light, heat, etc, for the same insti-
tuition; and contribution of $3.50
for the hospitals.

TRAnVMEN DENY
STRIKE RUMOR
Current Number of Official
Journal Explains Wage
Demands

Referring to the demands of the
transportation brotherhoods for short
er hours and increased wages, The
Railroad Trainmen. official organ for
the B. of r. T. denies that a strike
ballot is being taken. The journal in
the current issue prints the follow
ing:
''It must be understood that this is
not a strike ballot It is an express
sion, which. IL voted for, authorizes
the Chief Executives and the commit
tees to present the demands included
in the ballot to the railway companies
and to represent the men on all ques-
tions that may arise in connection
with the presentation.
This proposition does not include
passenger service. Road and yard
service of all classes are included in
the proposed eight-hour basic day and
time and one-half for overtime. This
means that the road mileage rate will
be increased from 10 to IL " miles an
hour. In all road service, 100 miles
or less, eight hours or less, will consti-
tute a day, and overtime will COM
mence after eight hours on runs of
this character. On runs of over 100
miles, overtime will begin when the
time on duty exceeds the miles run
divided by 12R miles per hour.
EaVorS Slow Train Men
IF this proposition becomes effec-
tive. it will mean more to the man on
the drag than to the man on the pre-
ferred run. The drag and other slow
trains that do not make the miles
within their time limit will profit. The
man whose miles are made at a great
er speed than the time limit will not
profit. This means that the man on
the slowest, most exacting, time-kill-
ing job will receive the greatest ad-
vantage. The man on fast freight
seldom will have his miles exceeded
by the time limit. The proposition as
1t applies to the yards means eight
hours within eight hours, at the pres
ent daily rate.
What will be done by the railways
to beat the plan after it becomes
this time. If our men are consistent
in asking for the shorter workday, it
will be time enough to figure out how
to apply it after we get it.
Some Reductions
There may be instances where both
road and yard crews will experience
some slight reduction in earnings due
to loss of overtime, particularly in
yards that now work men above the
10-hour day. 1t may even be assumed
that in certain districts, where there
are JoDS lnat regularly work above ~
hours, Encouragement may be made
to save the payment of overtime,
which would mean the loss of revenue
to the man who is now working more
than the normal 10-hour day. But
will he, with the possible loss of
revenue to begin with, be satisfied to
continue to place eight hours with 10
hours pay against the present practice
of 10 hours for the sake of the extra
time? The latter proposition means
voluntary wage reduction per hour
in order to work overtime"

RECORDS ON FILE

Figures on file at the office of Jacob
E. Whiteman, assistant freight train
master of the Middle division of the
p. r. r. at DE, show an increase of
22.5 per cent. in freight movement for
the first 81 days of January. The total
car movement was 523,755. One year
Rgo records for the same period show
ed total of 427,673 cars moved. The
daily average this year for all lines
east of Pittsburgh and Erie was 24,940
against 2O,365 one year ago.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-01-27

lars difference between this years ap-
p"opriations and last years expendi-
lures is explained by the fact that
about $4,000 was paid out last year
for the South Hanover road construc-
ton, $4,000 for the Middletown bridge
and $4,000 for the Millersburg bridge.
These were provided for in 1914 but
were not completed until 1915.
More Pay For Commissioners
Among the salary item increases is
the pay for the county commissioners.
Under the act of 1915 the salary of
these officials is raised from $1,S00
annually, to $2,400.
Road improvements that are pro-
vided for this year include the up
keep of the Horseshoe" turnpike east
of Hummelstown, and the construction
of the new road in Swatara township
extending from Mohn street, Steelton,
on through Enhaut.
The budget is complete in detail and
is an invaluable help to commissioners
as Mr.. Cough has set out all the fig
ures for two years back in parallel
columns.
