Pittsburgh Shippers to
Send Munitions to Lake
Erie by Motor Trucks
BY Associated Prcss

Pittsburgh, Aug. SO.-All railroads
entering the Pittsburgh district were
busy to-day completing arrangements,
begun week or more ago, for han
ollns business in case of a strike.
Pennsylvania Railroad employees some
time ago were polled as to their avail
ability for service in any department
where they might be needed and re-
port was made that in excess of 80 per
cent. had signified their willingness TO
work. This list now in the hands of
the operating officials includes division
ana general chiefs, many of whom are
competent to handle any part of the
railroads work.
Shippers were looking to motor
trucks to solve many of their troubles,
particularly those handling provisions
and produce, while some of the more
important war munition factories were
said to have arranged for motor truck
lines to carry their completed shells
to the nearest points on Lake Erie,
where they can be sent to Canada by
water and from there to Europe. Mill
managers confidently predicted there
would be no serious interruption in the
shipments of munitions

made a similar statement.
Besides comforting with Secretary
Wilson to-day. the brotherhood heads
talked with several members of Con-
gress at the Capitol. The brotherhood
officials expected to confer to-day with
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. 1t was
said that Mr.. Gompers had made no
attempt to induce the brotherhoods to
postpone the strike and it was not
thought that he would.
Opinion among brotherhood officials
as to whether enactment into law of
the Presidents program before next
Monday would prevent a strike still
is divided. This point was discussed
at length with congressman and they
also were not of one opinion.
The brotherhood leaders who eX-
pressed confidence last night that en-
actment of the program into law
would not prevent the strike appeared
to be the less confident.

more and Ohio and Reading Railway
said here to-day that no embargo on
freight shipments would be made by

over the possibility of running suf-

shipments that cannot be Immediately

Washington, Aug. 80. - Brother
hood heads insisted after a conference
with Secretary Wilson too day that they
had not been requested by President
Wilson or any other administration
official to postpone the strike and that
nothing except satisfactory settlement
OF their demands could prevent a
walk-out.
No power on earth except a salts
factory settlement now can prevent
strike" said w. G. Lee, president of
the trainmen.
We four heads certainly could not
obtain postponement of the strike
If we wanted to nor could we post
pone If we received messages request
ing such action from every one of the
committee of $40 who were here last
week. President Wilson has not ask
ed us to postpone the strike and he
understands as we made IL very clear
to him on Monday night, that we now
are powerless TO act unless n satisfac-
tory settlement is made"

TEACHING OLD DOGS
NEW TRICKS

Our faith in President Wilson
heretofore perfect and unquestioned
has received sad olt jsincc we
learned that he spells them pro
gramme, "cheque" and "labour
How can we accept any man as 100
per cent American with such Il
trans Atlantic streak in him as
that9-The Lakeland Telegram.
But it is a transatlantic streak?
And if so, didn't it come over with
the Maytlower, and isn't it there
fore truly American? 1t is easy for
one brought up in the 'old school
to sympathize with Mr.. Wilson in
the effort which he is probably max
ing to come into line with certain
innovations which the last quarter
century has brought into adoption.
In times past the results of i'm
portant law suits have rested upon
the position of a comma in a sent
encc; and yet in these latter days
there is a disposition to omit pune
tuation altosether, particularly as
to its use in commercial printing
and advertisements sometimes
With results which are ridiculous. 1t
is in line with the idiotie idea with
reformed spelling" At least it
seems so to the mind trained in the
old way. And yet he old way must
have been, itself at one time the
new way" for it differs so greatly
from the old English spelling of
many words
Who knows but that our great
grandfathers had the same difficulty
in adjusting their spelling methods
which some OF us Of the present day
have in adjusting ours TO lately inn
proved forms? And who knows but
that Mr.. Wilson and others Of us
may not succumb to the inevitable
and begin writing program for pro-
gramme. and labor Tor labour and
Savior for Saviour? But some OF us
will draw the line at thru for
throuL and tho for though. Clear
