TRAINS TO BE
TIED UP IF BIG RAILWAY
STRIKE HALTS SERVICE
Vacationists Need Have No Hope
of Getting Back on Electri-
fed Lines if Walkout
Comes
EMPLOYEES IN UNION

The vacation sojourner by the sea, who
yawned indifferently, put his thumbs into
the armholes of his vest and said he didn't
care much II there were a railroad strike
because he always took an electric train, re-
ceived n severe jolt today when he found
ou1 that the electric trains would feel n
strike just as much as would their steam
brothers.
The men who operate the electric trains
from Camden and over the electrified Penn
sylvania Main Line as far as Paoli are
brotherhood members and would quit at the
drop of the heat. The motorman on these
trains. whose title probably mised the cleo
trio train patron into believing that the
railway motormRn was of a species differ
ent from engineers, flremen, conductors and
brakemen, isn't n motorman at all, strictly
speaking. He's an engineer and belongs
to the brotherhood
The motormanish. jumper-clad operator
of the electric train is a full-nedged engl.
neeT Most of the Pennsylvania Railroads
motormen are former steam railway engi-
neers and those who are not were required
to pass an examination as steam railway
engineer before they were put In charge of
running an electric train. This precaution
was taken with view to emergencies when
the motor might refuse to work and the
operator m ght be called upon to pilot his
train into the station with a steam locomo-
tive.
SO the electric train offers no solution to
the thousands of soashore visitors and Main
Line commuters who have come to depend
upon electricity for their travelling and who
expected to find 1t a rod to lean upon in the
event of n strike.
AS the matter stands, the electric lines
are not of sufficient growth to figure large.
ly I'm n strike of the vast proportions that
are threatened. In this situation students
of railroad operations said they saw an
added argument for eectrifcation of rail-
way lines The substitution of strike.
breaking motormen for striking motormen
is much simpler problem than the sub
stitution of strike-breaking engineers for
striking engineers A motorman can learn
his trade in much less time than that
quired by an engineer to become proficient,
although the Pennsylvania Railroad in time
of peace" has insisted on its motormen
being more than drivers of motors
Because of the small extent of its eiec-
trio lines the Pennsylvania Railroad in its
preparation for a strike has not placed
much dependence upon the electrified por.
tion of its system terminating in Philadel-
phia.

DIR. w. w. Trnkle, Common Council
man from the Twentieth Ward, announced
today that he intended to Introduce an ordi-
nance requiring all persons, housewives in
cluded to sprinkle their pavements before
they sweep them. This would be n part
of n campaign undertaken by the city to
reduce the tremendous amount of dust
which flies about the city streets
Tho Bureau of Highways has printed
thousands of circulars asking housekeepers
to cover all rubbish receptacles, that the
dust from the refuse will not be scattered
about the highways. In view of the present
plague of infantie paralysis and the theory
Of many physicians that the disease Is
carried by the dust, all departments OF the
city government will turn their efforts to-
ward q possible prevention OF this condt-
tion.
"I believe" said Doctor Trinkle, that
any effort to eliminate dust in large city
Is good move. The ordinance which
has been suggested to me and which
would willingly introduce, would not in
volve any great hardship for the individual
citizens and at the same time 1t would do
much to improve the sanitary condition of
Philadelphia. 1 prefer, however, that DR..
Wilmer ID. Krusen, Director of the Depart
ment of Health and Charities, should rec
ommend this ordinance.
ANY word from him in its favor would
assure its passage. 1 could introduce it
tlon and Councils, I believe, would act
accordingly"
In view of Director Krusens well-kpown
attitude toward the dust question there Is
little doubt that he will recommend the
ordinance proposed. Doctor Krusen, in his
public statements, has repeatedly pointed
out the danger that turks in the dust that
is swept from the pavemepts and streets
and flies from the ash boxes.
At the offices OF the Bureau of Highways
today It was explained that all street'clean-
ing contractors must sprinkle the highways
before sweeping. An ordinance of Councils
requires this precaution and fixes fine OF
"S1 per square or part Of square for each
case" in which the regulation is violated
This stringent rule is applied in the clean
ing OF streets, but no such restriction ap-
plies to private citizens in cleaning side
walks. While great sums of money are
expended to clean the streets housekeepers
are permitted to raise clouds of dust.
menace to health, and to sweep this dust
into the highways. This is condition
which the Bureau of Highways Is seeking
to correct and which would be eliminated
by the ordinance which Doctor Trinkle pro-
poses to introduce.

BOTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORY
