COMPLETE STRIKE
VOTE ON MONDAY
Ballots From West Arrive To-
morrow; Heads of Brother
hoods Refuse to Talk

New York, Aug. 4. - Seventy-five
per cent. of the ballots cast by more
than 100000 railroad employees of the
United States in the vote on a general
strike had been counted by the special
board of tellers in this city yesterday.
Timothy Shea, assistant president of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen, in charge of the
work, declared that of these 100000
almost all favored a strike.
The count will not be completed he
said, until Monday, owing to the fact
that the vote chairmen of the Western
railroads are not expected to arrive
here with I he Western ballots until
Saturday. The ballots counted to date
are from the Eastern and Southern
railroads. The vote from those dis
tricts is virtually complete. If the
strike vote is concluded by Monday
night, Shea said, the leaders of the
railroad brotherhoods, reinforced by
the authority of the strike vote, will
resume negotiations with the railroad
managers on Tuesday.
w. S. Stone, president of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, who
assisted in the vote counting and Shea
declined to discuss the appeal made
to President Wilson by the Chamber
OF Commerce of the United States to
intervene in the situation.

TIRED LOOKING WOMEN

Some women always wear a worn.
tired look. 1t is the outward sign OF
nervousness, neurasthenia perhaps,
with its characteristic symptoms OF
worry, headaches and sleeplessness.
Overwork, grief, undue excitement,
the late hours and nervous strain of q
strenuous social season, lack of out-of-
door exercise, any or all of these NAV
be responsible for the trouble but the
most common cause at this season of
the year is the grip.
Whatever the cause, if you feel the
iced OF more strength try the great
non-alcoholic tonic, DR.. Williams Pink
Fills. AS the nerves get their nourish-
nent from the blood the treatment
must be directed toward building I'D the
blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills act
directly on the blood and with proper
regulation of the diet have proved of
the greatest benefit in many cases of
neurasthenia. A tendency to anemia,
or bloodlessness, shown by most neu-
rasthenic patients, is also corrected by
these tonic pills. Your own druggist

CASH SHORTAGE
TOHIT THE THIRD
No Money Available For Imme-
diate Payment of Soldiers
For Camp Service

Shortage of available cash in the
State Treasury is holding up payment
of the soldiers of the Third Brigade for
their camp service at Mount Gretna
along with many other acquisitions
which have been sent to the State
Treasury and which cannot be met at
this time. The payrolls for the or
gani2ations of the brigade aggregate
S27, 56T.9S and were completed almost
week ago at the Adjutant Generals S
office. In addition the acquisitions for
armories, for officers annual allow
ences and other militia items are
held up.
Conditions at the Treasury were
very little improved this week and
over a million dollars remains requi-
sitioned which cannot be met until
moro money comes in. Practically
every branch OF the State government
is affected by the financial stringency
and the fact that money in the State
Treasury is held in funds which can
only be used for certain purposes.
Complaint was lodged with the Pub
tic Service Commission to-day by citi-
zens of Pottstown against the Schuyl-
kill Valley Traction Company. which
raises the question of whether a troll
ley company must provide freight serv-
ice. 1t is charged that the company
maintains a freight service, but has
no schedule. no facilities and no load
ing platforms.

is said to be the solution.
Another complaint filed was that
jitneys are being run from Chambers
burg to the campmeeting at Como
cocheague Island without any au-
thority. The campmeeting is one of
the biggest gatherings of colored
people in Southern Pennsylvania.

ROTARIANS HAVE
DELIGHTFUL RUN
Hagerstown Club Hospitable
Host; Fry Says "Scoundrels"
Ate His Supper

Harrisburg Rotarians to the number
OF fifty. headed by Howard C. Fry,
president. in the pilot car driven by
ex-President John S. Musser, motored
to Hagerstown yesterday and spent the
day as the guests of the Hagerstown
Rotary Club. They were most hos
pltahly entertained at luncheon by the
Hagerstown Rotarians at the Hagers-
town country Club, which occupies a
oeautltul location overlooking the
countryside just outside the city.
Or. Miller, president of the Hagers-
town club, presided al the luncheon
ana following the repast speeches were
maze by number of Hagerstown Ro-
tarlans and Harrisburgers, including
president Fry William NJ Robson,
tormer president and secretary; John
,. Musser, c. Harry Kain, Captain
Geore f. Lumb and Gus NJ. Steinmetz.
some or the members fraternized
with the Hagerstown club at golf and
bowling in the afternoon, while an
other party, piloted by Colonel Jami-
son, head of the Jamison Cold Storage
Door Company, toured the city in auto
mobiles.
During the return home a puncture
delayed the car of James P. McCul-
Tough and party at Chambersburg and
Mr.. Musser ana his party remained to
see them through their trouble. In or
der to hurry matters they ordered din
ner over the phone at Carlisle, but an
other advance party of Rotarians ar

sumptuously on the dinner spread for
the Musser- party. And

Fry who was among those left, the
sc0undrels met us on our arrival and
told US how good our supper tasted. ="
however. there was plenty of food for
all, SO nobody suffered much.
Only two slight accidents marred
the trip. collision broke the radiator
on the machine driven by William
B. Bennett, delaying him slightly, and
Harry kain was injured about the
head when he struck the car top in an
effort to jump through the roof when
the automobile struck rut in the
road.

POTASH SHY in
MANY FERTILIZERS
Effect of War Has Been to Cut
Down the Amount of Ger
man Material Used

Marked changes in the character of
the fertilizers sold in PENNSYLVANIA
this Spring are shown in the report of
the analysis of samples taken by the
agents of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture, during the past
three months. Almost an entire abb
sence from the market of the class
known as rock and potash a one-third
reduction of the completes, and a
greatly increased number of brands
offering only available phosphoric
acid and nitrogen, are among changes
IN the extensive re-adjustment of the
fertilizer situation.
Agents Of the Department of Agri-
culture collected 1872 samples from
all sections of the State and sos diff
feernt brands weer anafyzed nv
Chemist William Frear of State Col
lege. Some idea of the great change
made in the industry is noted from
the summary Of analysis made this
season. In the Spring of 1915 there
We're 422 brands of complete fertilizers
furnishing phosphoric acid, potash
and nitrogen, while this Spring only
III brands were found. Last Spring
there were nine brands of dissolved
bones and other acidulated fertilizers
furnishing phosphoric acid and nitro
gen, but this season this class has in
creased to Is brands. Last year there
were eighty-six brands of rock and
potash but the samplers this Spring
collected but one sample of this class
In acldulated rock phosphate, fur
nishing phosphoric acid only, there
were torty-elght brands last year and
slXty-siX this year. In ground bones,
furnishing phosphoric acid and nj
trogen, there were twenty-six brands
this year against twenty-four in the
Spring of 1915. Last year there were
tWenty-one miscellaneous classes
against ten this year.
The unusual conditions of the raw
material supply, due to the disturb
ances of the European war, have very
greatly modified the average character
OF the fertilizers and the average
composition of certain classes. The
eral classes of fertilizers analyzed in
Pennsylvania show that in 1915, 69.2
were complete fertilizers, while this
Spring only 42.9 were of this class.
In the Spring of 1915, 14.1 per cent.
were rock and potash, while this year
the percentage fell to 2 of l per cent.
There was a marked increase in dis
solved bone fertilizer this year, show
ing a per cent. of 36.6 against last
Spring. In dissolved rock the percen-
age this year was 1870 against 10 last
Spring. Ground bone showed 3.9 last
year and 81 this year. The n1iscel-
laneous brands decreased from 3.4
to 20 per cent.
The changes are caused almost en-
tirely bv the potash scarcity due to
the cutting off of the German potash
salt imports, but are due in part also
to the larger raw material REQUIRE
ments Of the munition makers of this
country.
