Erie presidents. said general
embargo was being considered. An an
nouncement, it was said, would be
made to-day.
A notice was issued by the Baltimore
& Ohio of an embargo on its line from
its headquarters in Baltimore. The
West Shore gave notice TO shippers
that all freight was subject TO dam
age, delay or loss"
Practically the only railroad that
failed TO issue embargo orders was
the Lehigh Valley. l.. ID. Smith. vice
president, said the road hopes to con
tinue to operate all its trains without
/ interruption.
officials Of the Central Railroad of
/ New Jersey were not so sanguine, but

The embargo notice issued by the
/ PENNSYLVANIA Railroad put a ban on all
I shipments of explosives and inhamma-
/ bles Of all kinds after the close OF

ments of perishable freight after to-
morrow night, and put an end to all

railway officials. I'VE have no idea

Thousands of blue serge uniforms are
being purchased by officials Of the
New York Central to be used by strike
breakers. II is believed that it will
be found practicable to utilize employees
Of the accounting and auditing Offices
as conductors. The clerks, it was said,
are familiar with the duties of con-
ductors and would be able 20 conduct
trains with the assistance OF guards.
The crucial question, it was conceded,
was the manning of the locomotives.
Recruiting strikebreakers went on
with q rush in the various employment
agencies yesterday. Former railroad
men and all others equipped TO take
the place Of railroad trainmen, con-
ductors and engineers were given in
structions as TO the action expected of
them next Monday.
The New Haven Railroad made last
appeal to its employees to remain loyal.

FAY'S ESCAPE GERMAN
PLOT, SAY OFFICIALS
Bomb Conspirator Aided by Out
siders, Belief of Atlanta Warden.


Atlanta. Aug. S0.-That the escape
from the Federal prison here Of Lieu
tenant Robert Fav Of bomb conspiracy
fame, and of William Knoblock was
the result Of a careful plot and that
their apprehension will prove task OF
magnitude is the opinion Of Warden
Zerbst to-day, after an all-niGht and
dav search had failed TO yield the
slightest clew to the whereabouts OF
the prisoners. -.
"Fav was n nan Of too much intelli-
gence," said warden Zerbst to-day,
"and too shrewd TO have attempted
such an escape unless he was certain
that the necessary arrangements had
been made to take care of him and OF
his COMPANION after they reached
safety from the guns Of the guards"
The impression is growing IN Official
circles in Atlanta that German sym
pathizers were behind the escape Of
the two men.
To-day more than twenty prison
guards and county and city police were
searching territory where the two
prisoners might have found refuge, and
messages had been sent to all PARTS of
the country. The guard whose alleged
negligence opened the way to the lib
erty Of the two men was questioned to-
day by Warden Zerbst. He could throw
no light on the escape and has resigned
his position.
The escape of Fay and Knoblock
was one aided by a clever forger. who
wrote for them a pass to work as
electricians outside the prison walls.

event Of a complete tie-up New York
CITY would be without coal at the end
Of & week. Coal dealers and large

and Argentine beef.

Chiefs Believe.

One big card that railroad officials
are holding up their sleeves" IN the
strike situation is the provision IN the
employees pension systems which would
disaualify for pensions every man who
joins the strike.
An idea of the vastness Of the PEN
sion system can be gained from sta
tistics published less than two months
ago by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
That line, since January /, 1900, has
paid s13,O0O,0O0 to the men on its roll

Thousands of our men are either at
or approaching the age when they will
automatically be granted their pen
sions," said the general passenger agent
Of one Of the big systems yesterday.
"They have for years worked faithfully,
looking forward TO the day when they
could retire and live on the substan-
tial income that the company will
grant them.

rules is brief, but couched in no mis-
taxable terms. 1t simply says:

regard Of the rights and interests of

"The legislation proposed by Presi-

controversies of this kind until the
points in dispu. e have been submitted to
the consideration Of some impartial tri-
bunal.. seems not only obviously rea-

that the public will never be safe from

That our export trade in cotton
goods to China has dropped to one
third of what it has been, while that
of japan has increased nearly nine
times, as shown in a report of Ralph
Odell, of the Department of Commerce.
will surprise nobody who takes into
consideration the fact that the Japan
ese wage scale is about one-twelfth
that paid in American mills, and the
success which has attended the efforts
OF Japan in initiating American made
goods. The loss of trade is bad
enough, but another thing the Ameri-
can manufacturers have to face is the
prospect tnat the present huge expan-
son of the cotton cloth industry in
Japan may result in her getting into
or domestic market and put the
home producers out Of business, unless
adequate protection is afforded the in
dustry here. If Japan can make prices
agreeable to the Chinese, there is no
reason why, under a Democratic tariff
law, she can not invade the American
market.
