in event of a general strike by the
trainmen, hardly enters into consider
alton of the subject. Such a strike
would not be like any other strike has
been. A general strike would mean a
complete tie up OF all railroads. Trains
cannot be operated without crews,
Which are necessarily composed of
Ten trained for that purpose. -Four
hundred thousand substitutes could
not be found off hand and, so far as
our road is concerned, no measures
have been taken, that 1 know of. for
operation in event of a general strike.
IF it comes and any of the men
want to continue at work we would
give them the opportunity. But the
news from Washington does not por-
t-nd, in my opinion. that the situation
has grown any more serious. / think
il means that the six hundred and
forty leaders composing the great del
egation at Washington want to get
back home to learn the latest views of
the men when in close touch with
them"

AT THE THEATERS


A veil OF mystery surrounds the pic
ture to be shown at the Orpheum to-
day and tonight known as Shell 49,"
in which H. B. Warner is the leading
character and is assisted by Enid
Marley and a splendid company of
Triangle players. s.-- s.-
The play deals with the spying and
deception during the early days of the
great European war and is interviewer
with the romance of a we'll written
love story.
In the production many scenes of
battle, gun firing, aeroplane and auto
mobile work at the front are por-
trayed.
The Keystone comedy brings up the
rear with bright tricks and jokes that
tighten the effect of the more tragic
war pictures. The music for the first
three days of the week will fit the oc-
| casion. The management of the Or
pheum promises strict neutrality will
be observed.

HALT TURKISH COUNTER
Russian Reinforcements Stop Flank
Movement in Armenia.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The Turkish
drive toward Persia aimed apparently
to outflank the Russian armies oper-
ating in Armenia is reported in dis
patches received here today to have
been held up at Woe by heavy Rus
sian reinforcements. The foreign lega-
lions in Teheran tho still disturbed
have not vet fled from the city. This
report taken in conjunction with the
recent Russian successes at Bitlis
and Mush is interpreted as removing
danger either of a Turkish outflanking
movement against Russia or of an in
vasion of Persia.

Scarcity of Soevrcigns Causes Delay in
New Polish Government.

London Aug 28.-A Berne dis
patch to the Daily News says that the
delay in the proclamation of an auto
nomy in Poland by the German and
Austro-Hungarian sovereigns is due to
the difficulty of selecting a suitable
king.
The correspondent adds that Ger
man and Austrian Diplomats visited
Count Stephen Tarnowski recently
with view to offering him the Polish
throne. The young count is only ten
years of age, but his family has re-
sided in Kielce, near Warsaw, for
more than thousand years.

PAYSON ON STRIKE
Santa Fe Director Believes Men
viii Quit Jobs.
They Think Wilson VIII Get
Them All They Ask.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 2S.-Cap-
thin A. H. Payson. vice-pl esident of
the Northwestern Pacific Railroad
and director of the Atchison, Topeka
4 Santa Fe, discussing the question of
a general railroad strike here, said;
Il construe the news from Wash
,rton as indicative of a strike. For
the last two or three days have been
of the opinion that the strike is com
ing This take-it-or-leave- attitude
If the men has prevailed all thru
these negotiations .F 4-ga :.
THE railroads have made their offer
towards reaching an understanding.
Isn't the men stin want all or nothing,
end apparently they think President
Wilson is going 10 help them get all
they want. II is not question OF
working an eight hour day.
I'm the interests of the country at
large such a general strike might as
well come now. If 1t is going to come,
let US have it The situation in that
respect parallels the war situation in
Europe two years ago.
End Must Come.
The railroads cannot go on forever
having their rates controlled on the
one hand and their wage scale in
creased on the other. The roads can
not be left absolutely at the mercy of
the devil and the deep sea 1t must
be remembered that the RAILROADS are
not in the same position as a manu-
facturer. who can raise his prices
whenever he raises wages.
1T Is new in our government tha'
any body of men should have the pow
er to paralyze the commerce of the
country. as is threatened, and should
have the administration with them in
doing so. That seems to be the situa-
ton at present. If such a dangerous
precedent is to be established, it is not
difficult to see whittier it will lead the
country.
should the general strike come, the
roads out here will operate the best
they can. They are looking around
for men, of course. Possibly the pas
senger train men will not strike. as
they are not affected by the increase
pay demanded. But perhaps their turn
is to come next.

FAvORS A STRIKE
Penn President Would Fight
Rather Than Surrender.
Heads Charge Rea
With Being Inconsistent.

Washington, Aug. 28.-President
Samuel Mea of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn, who has arrived in Washington.
gave out the following statement on
behalf of the railway executives:
For the arrangements of the rail-
ways to yield to the demands and
threats of the labor organizations and
to accept President Wilson's proposal
would be to destroy at one blow the
principle of arbitration as the para
mount and recognized method of set
ting labor disputes. What would be
gained by. this tremendous sacrifice of
sound principles which involves the
rights and interests of the railways, of
the great majority of their employees
not embraced in the present contro-
versy and of the American people.
The threatened strike would be
postponed, it is true, but we would
have no assurance that it would be
permanently prevented. Except that
the principle of an eight-hOur day
would be conceded, the issues of the
very controversy now pending would
be left unsettled, while the future of
the railways would indeed be- rendered
dark and uncertain.
These, In brief, are the reasons why
heads of the railways with a full APP
probation of the solemn and weighty
responsibility resting n them, as well
as of their duty to the public and to
their shareholders, have been forced
to the conclusion that it is better to
face the alternative of a strike than to
surrender.
Calls Him Inconsistent.
Washington, Aug. 2S.-The four
brotherhood heads in a statement re-
plying to President Rea, charged the
Pennsylvania with inconsistency in
that two years ago it fought the eff
forts of it's shopmen to organize ana
arbitrate.
1t also declared that as the con-
trolling interest in five smaller roads
it has refused them representations on
the managers conference committee
and that if arbitration were agreed
upon it would not apply to these roads.
