PITTSBURG. April 22.-Pickets at
all entrances to the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Company
Saturday morning pleaded SO success
fully that leaders of the strike inau-
gurated Friday to enforce an eight
hour day demand, declared only
1000 of the $4,000 employees had en-
tered. Great crowds of strikers filed
the streets, leading to the gates. but
there was no disorder. Organization
Of the strikers into locals of the new
ly formed union was said to be pro-
ceedipg rapidly.
Inside the shops guards carefully
examined the lunch baskets of the
workmen who succeeded in passing
the pickets, to prevent the introduc
tion of explosives. This regulation
was first applied to the shell depart
ment, but was later extended to in
clude all the shops.
Leaders of the strike announced
they would organize a parade at noon
to visit the other towns in, the Tur-
stle Creek valley, in an attempt TO
bring out. workmen In a number OF
factories which do not recognize the
eight-hour day. If they succeed, they
say, they would have $4,000 men

the shops were practically closed and
added that the grievance committee.
which heretofore had conducted all
negotiations for the men, had made
no demands and that. the company
was in ignorance, officially as to what
the strike was for. Recently an ad-
vance Of ten per cent was granted
throughout the works.

the actual owners in law and in fact
the company management (whether
mutual or stock) is but their trustee
TO collect, invest and distribute.
This life insurance is not at all to
be classed with the usual private,
proprietary business. existing to make
money out of its customers. It ex-
lists to save and earn money for its
customers. who are also its sole or
chief owners. That Is why its con-
tracts are SO liberal and its practices
even more so. AS n true co-Opera-
ly and want 1t now-the kind that
tion life insurance Is to be classed
with the mutual savings bank or the
building and loan association: 1t Is a
great deal more like ones church,
lodge or club, than like ones grocer
or gas company. Its business organl-
2ation and agency forces are neces-
sary to its efficient operation; they
are its brains and hands, but they are
in no sense its body and soul 1t is
cooperation of policy-holders that
its being.life insurance lives and
has its being.
This again means strength, perma-
nence, stability. The single company
numbers its members by the thou
sands, enlisted for life. Far greater
than the strength of great assets is
the strength of great numbers of
men. This Is living growing strength;
its keeps creating more values. 1t
is the distinctive strength of munich
1up Hrthf nh ~
list of investment bonds. 1t is. in
Darwin P. Kingsley's fine phrase. "the
Unreasonable strength of men stand
ing together"
/ These are some OF the big funda-
mental truths-common to all of US,
but not possessed by other business
that the New System must voice to
prospects and people generally Must
voice, not merely because they are
true, but also because they are ef-
fective; far more effective than any
one-company "sales-talk" can be.
The New Soliciting, therefore. Is
soliciting that grounds the prospects
confidence in all our propositions on
a few fundamental facts and truths
common to us all. and thus leaves the
bulk of the time free to tell him
plainly the things that interest and
attract him.
1t is soliciting that mas no time to

pect"-both because the fight (how-
ever 1t ends) will yield him poorer
future prospects and booster; and be-
cause very many more people are
waiting around the corner to be right
ly solicited without any fight.
1t is soliciting that is creative. not
competitive; with talk that is in
stitutional. rather than "one-com-
pany"; by rightly trained, permanent
agents, working for their own and
their prospects future with all the
resources OF skilled salesmanship,
plus professional counsel, plus ap-
postolic vision and zeal.
II is in a word efficient soliciting
the kind that makes the prospect

ly, and whant 1t now-the kind that
will open the eyes Of the whole pub
lie to its need for life insurance, and
open those eyes far wider than has
ever seemed possible to 1t or to u.s.

ARE READY TO GO AHEAD
IN CHASE OR WITHDRAW

SL PASo, April 22.-Brigadier Cen
eral Pershing has made such. DISPOSE
tion of his forces that the American
punitive expedition is equally ready
today to proceed quickly in pursuit Of
Villa or withdraw from Mexico when
the future course of operations is de-
termined by the administration at
Washington. The troops can be re-
tired from Mexico in ten days, accord
ing to army officers at Fort Bliss.
Carranza officials at Juarez reported
the situation generally quiet through
out upper Mexico and said every prep
aration has been made to suppress
any disorder that might arise. The
Parral district is being filed with Car
rama troops and guards have been
thrown about mining property.

Ina Full Review of Punitive Ex-
peditIon's Operations Since
Coming into Mexico.
NEW LINES AND BASES
Impression is Gaining Strength
at Headquarters Troops
Will Be Withdrawn.

SAN ANTONIO, April 22-Secre.
tary OF War Baker should be in re-
ceipt of report before night from
Major General Hugh L. Scott that
may assist the administration in de-
Gliding whether to withdraw the
American troops or send them farth-
er into Mexico. Generals Scott and
Funston today will review in detail
the history OF the punitive expedi-
tion's operations since entering Mex
leo almost six weeks ago.
Carranza officials have given
plausible reasons for moving the
forces Of General Gomez eastward
from Sonora. the troops of General
Luis Herrera south from Chihuahua
to Parral, and considerable force
towards Casas Grandes. but should
the war office at Mexico City decide
la.er to use these forces to prevent
further American military opera
ttons, General Pershin will be pre-
pared for any situation.
II is understood that the establish
ment of other bases and new lines of
communication were talked of but the
details Of the fighting at Parral and
the abrupt halt in operations that
came as a result were discussed at
length.
General Pershing's reports, which
are said to contain recommendations
that radical changes be authorized,
probably will be gone over carefully
today.
Overnight dispatches from the front
indicated no renewed offensive activity.
The pursuit OF the bandit chieftain re-
matned practically at a standstill and
the impression in gaining strength at
departmental headquarters that the
troops will be withdrawn.

Message is Unique As 1t Con.
tainS Promises Instead of
Threats.

Thomas Boehm. of the Morris Groc-
cry Company, is the unruffied victim
of a Black Hand letter joke some one
has just played on him. He has just
received through the mail message
of the Black Hand sort, which, how
ever, is unique in that 1t contains po-
litical promises instead OF threats.
The writer smeared his left hand with
SCOT and made an impression of 1t
over the letter The letter reads as
follows:

Mr., Boehm is shivering-not with
fear, but with laughter, as he has
traced the letter to Its source owing to
the fact that It was typewritten and in
these days of Pinkertons, Burnses.

Harry Brookses, 1t is as easy as falling
off log to trace certain typewriter

was written in Clarksburg and not at

fundamental Truths
OF the Life Insurance
Business Are Presented

the companies, life insurance. The
companies are but the machinery
through which life insurance, the
science, the cooperation, does its work
for mankind. The best that can be
said for your company or for mine is
that 1t worthily embodies the truths
and ideals Of life insurance. But any
two companies, like any two saints
exhibit two differing blends Of the car
dinal virtues. We have to look above
and beyond all the companies and their
various blends, II we want a distinct
complete picture of any one or all OF
those cardinal truths common to us all
What is life insurance, fundament-
ally? 1t is first of all science; an
applied natural science; the applica.
ton OF natures great law of mortality
Its advance calculations, like those OF
astronomy, have been tested and prov.

gives us an advance schedule Of the
maximum number of deaths that will
occur in large group year by yea1

issue OF serial bonds; "a known mum.
Der Of them to be called each year:
which particular ones not known until
singled out each year by lot. Fore.
known payments call, Of course, for a
sinking fund. That reserve fund
scientifically figured, compoundine
year by year. belongs to all the out
standing policies; each has a yearly
increasing share in 1t. This is why
every life policy is lifetime sinking
fund operation; why mans premium
or deposit, is not money spent but
saved. The science makes 1t so. II
makes '"life insurance" unavoidably
spell thrift"
That science and the state laws
based on 1t definitely set apart and
protect eighty-four per cent of the en-.
tire assets in this policy reserve. They
also dominate the daily transactions
leaving practically no room for the
fatal errors of judgment by which
other business fails. That science Is

The Sunday Movies Popular

"It would take a 42-centimeter gun to dislodge the Sunday moving pictures said Frank Farrell a Pullman conductor on the Seminole Limited, yesterday, "as the public is now accustomed to the in- Eovation and would resist bitterly any move to restrict the patrons from enjoy ing the movies on the first day of the week.
 Tt was stated to the oppoccnts Of Sunday pictures that if moving pictures were allowed in Birmingham for two months, it would be impossible to dis continue them, as public opinion would be strongly moulded in their favor. The Sun 6ya pictures have been in operation now for about two months and no complaints are being heard. On the contrary, the theatre managers are being praised on the excellent programmes they are pro- viding the public on Sundays.
 "Of course, for little while there was a rumor that the protestors against the Sunday movies would request referen- dunn, but it appears that they have thought better of it, as referendum would result in an overwhelming vindi- cation of the opening of the photoplay houses on Sunday
