MCLAUGHLIN ASKS
FOR COMPENSATION
Continued From First Pagel

continued From First Page1
No. 709, of the Amalgamated Street
and Electric Railways Employees which
called a strike of Harrisburg Railway
employees July 16. Mclaughlin as
chairman of the executive committee
of the strikers made frequent unsuc-
cessful attempts to persuade the Har-
risburg Railways Company directors
to arbitrate the strike demands
In filing an answer to Mclaughlin s
claim, the Harrisburg Railways Com
pany declares that no report of the
claim was made by their employe until
July and that it is believed from
statements in McLaughlins petition
that any injury received was the result
of careless indifference to danger"
The company denies any compensa-
ton liability and its answer holds that
McLaughlin's petition is defective and
demands proof of all the statements
which he sets forth as to his injuries.
H. H. Famsler and w. NJ. Enrich
were McLaughlin's physicians.

 ENGLISH CABINET
One Newspaper Claims that Two Members Have Given Up Their Posts-Reported that Lord
 Cecil Likely To Quit.

LONDON, July 7-Throughout to- day the air was charged with ru- mors of serious Cabinet crisis over the Irish home rule compro- mise
 The fact that there were two pro longed Cabinet councils, in addition to party meetings, appeared to con firm this view. An evening news paper announced that the Marquis of Lansdowne, Minister without portfolio, and Walter Hume Long, President of the local government board, ha dactually resigned, but that their resignations had not been accepted.
 Rumor also connected the name of Lord Robert Cecil, Minister of War Trade, with the Ministers likely to resign.
 The Earl of selborne, in the House of Lords, explained that nothing was expected to be an uounced definitely concerning the situation until after a meeting of Unionists tomorrow, at which 1t was still hoped that the influence of An drew Bonnar Law, Secretary of State for Colonies, who supports Premier Asquith and David Lloyd George, the Munitions Minister, who framed the Irish compromise, might possibly avert a rupture.

TERRIBLE TURK
 CONTINUES HIS
 CRUEL TYRANNY
Gravest Concern Is Expressed As to Safety of Inhabitants of Syria-Armenian's
 Still Paramount.

LONDON, July 7-Deplorable con ditions prevailed in Syria, said the Marquis of Crewe today in a state ment dealing with the Arab revolt against the Turks. A cordon had been drawn by the Turks around the Lebanon district, he said, and they were virtually starving the in- habitants of that district.
 Bearing in mind the fate of Ar menia, he said, it was impossible not to feel the gravest concern for the fate threatening the inhabitants of Syria.
 The Turks had exercised the greatest tyranny on Syrian notables, continued the Marquis, and had condemned 20 of them to death and many others to imprisonment or exile. He understood that repre- sentations had been made by the Washington government Co the Turkish government, and it was diff fcult to see what further could be done.
 It could only be hoped, he added, that military successes which might be obtained in a different part Of the world might have the desired ef- feet in this direction.

MANY BODIES CAST
 ON COAST OF NORWAY

CHRISTIANIA, July '. The fact that so many bodies of British and German sailors daily are being brought ashore on the southern coast of Norway with life belts securely fastened about them suggests that they are victims of the Jutland bat. tie and that the men drifted for many hours before succumbing to the cold and exhaustion. The papers. therefore, are urging that neutral powers be notified after a naval bat tie, so that they may be able to send out boats in search of survivors.
 Daily funerals of unidentified Ger man and British men of wars men are attended by great crowds, who strew the graves with flowers.
