daily newspapers in Greater New
York, at a meeting this afternoon,

duction of so many pages is step

the demands of the for eighthour day and time
and a half for overtime.
The counters expected to finish today the counting

A meeting of the national conference committee Of
the railroads to be held Tuesday, to make another
attempt to settle the difficulties between the railways and

of calling general strike 225 railroads had been count
ed today announced that "a preponderant
number of the are in favor Of strike"
The ballots counted today are mainly votes of the
eastern and southern members of the "Bg Four railway
brotherhoods The western and southwestern chairmen
will arrive In few days with the ballots from their
spectve communities.
1t expected that the lowest number of votes cast in
favor of the strike will from the eastern members
of the railway unions However, matter what the
Der Of votes cast against the strike by the eastern men,

day that 9 per of the members of the four orders
of railway workers Of the South favor the strike.
1t had been expected that the counting of the vote
would be complete by August Z but at the rate the count
being made it ought be complete before that unless
there should be some unexpected delay.

The condition that exists is we'll illustrated by the
fact that while the farmers who have built the system have

ELECTRIC ORGAN TRANSMITS
WIRELESS MUSIC

A wireless telegraph musical instru-
ment that opens up a field In which
there are many interesting possibili-
ties, has been patented In this country
by a resident OF eastern Canada. Pop
ular Mechanics magazine In its July
number describes the %investion, with
illustrations. This new mechanism
plays musical notes and transmits
them to any ordinary wireless receiv-
ing instrument. II is based on the
principle that wireless sparks dis
charged in rapid succession produces
a musical note, the pitch Of which de-
Ponds on the rapidity with which the
sparks are discharged. To apply this
principle, a series Of annular rows
OF points, or electrical poles, with pro-
per connections, are attached to a ro-
tor composed OF a series OF disks each
larger or smaller than the ones ad-
joining It.
Connected with the rotor ia a key
board having keys and poles CORES
ponding to each disk. BY pressing
one Of the keys while the rotor is re-
volving, a series Of sparks are pro-
duced between It's pole and the ra-
pidity passing poles on the rotor. The
number OF studs on each disk is in
such proportion to the adjoining disks
that each row produces a tone one note
higher than the smaller disk adjoin-
Ing 1t. The full development of the
invention calls for al organ having
a number of rotors connected with a
large keyboard. these rotors to be 80
geared that they will produce all the
notes OF q regular organ.

ANSCOMBE REVIEWS
CHURCH SUBSTITUTES

After reviewing all the substitutes
that have been offered, the Rev. Fran
els C. Anscombe in his sermon at the
South Eighth street Friends church
yesterday, concluded that the teach
ings of the Bible are the only ones that
are capable Of redeeming and saving
men.
The Rev Mr. Anscombe discussed
Deism, Rationalism. Materialism and
Agnosticism, showed where each form
had failed to save the individual or to
reconstruct society. Dealing with So
cialism he endorsed large part OF 1t.
His chief objection to the Socialistic
program was that it was often preach
ed as Goddess and anti-Christian
movement The main features of So
cialism, he said. are included in the
propaganda of Christianity as no man
can love his neighbor as himself until
he loves God.
