Among the Pennsylvania Railroad
veterans who will be retired one
month from to-day is Henry j.
Auckerman, general secretary of the
p. r. r. Y. NJ. c. A., at Altoona. He
has been identified with association
work for thirty-one years, and work
ed for the Pennsy ten years as a
shopman. He is known to railroad
men all over the United States. In
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad circles his
friends are an army. He resigned as
secretary some time ago.
Recently at a meeting of general
secretaries at Pittsburgh this vet
eran was presented with purse and
other gifts. His work with the "G
was praised. The principal speaker
was Frank II. Gregory, general sec
retarv of the local railroad associa-
tion. and a close friend of General
Secretary Auckerman.
His Memorable Career
Mr., Auckerman was the first gen.
eral secretary of the Pennsylvania
system. The Altoona association was
instituted October 10, 1875. Until
March. 1882. all of the work of the
association was voluntary and there
was no such office as general secre-
tary. Mr.. Auckerman was trans
ferred from the passenger car shops
to the newly-made position in 1882,
by the late general superintendent
Charles f. Pugh. He had previously
spent ten years in the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad service in the shops.
During his long term as general
secretary of the P. r. r. Y. NJ. c. A,
Mr.. Auckerman has been untirins
in his efforts to make his work
bring good results, and he has been
successful. His retirement comes
because of poor health. His success
sor has not been named.

Shopmen Hear Official
Explain Wage Agreement

Shopmen. representing various
crafts. filed Chestnut Street Audi
torium last night. The meeting was
for the purpose of explaining the
recent agreement reached with
the Federal Railroad Administra-
ton regarding shipments wages and
conditions. +. Mckenzie represent
ing Division No. 2 was the principal
speaker. The meeting was for shop
men only and they were admitted on
presentation of their due book. No
information was given out. Regard
ing an agreement the Altoona Mir
ror says:
"A national agreement covering
wages and working conditions has
been signed by Director General
Hines and representatives of the
shop craft, giving an increase of
cents an hour in wages, according to
advfces that have been received from
Washington.
The railroad shopmen will be
paid on the basis of an S-hour day
similar to members of theh four
brotherhoods. The agreement is eff,
fective October 90 and will con-
tinue until the government relin-
quishes control of the roads. Union
officials regard the uniform contract
as one of the most important gains
by labor in recent years"

Union Chief Says
5000 Are Out, While
Company Claims ,45O
By Associated Press

Bethlehem, Pa, Oct. There
was little change this morning in
the strike situation at the local plant
of the Bethlehem steel Company.
The leaders of the strikers who held
big mass meeting at Allentown
last night expected big additions to
their ranks to-day but this expec-
tation was not borne out by the
number of employees who went to
work on the two morning shifts. The
company claims that only about 12
per cent. or 1,450 OF the men are
out while David Williams, leader of
the strikers, maintains that 5000
are out. The latter's claim is not
borne out by the activities at the
steel works. The steel company ap-
pears more handicapped, however,
than officials will admit. United
States Senator Kenyon was wired a
petition from the strikers late last
night, asking his committee which is
probing the steel strike to extend its
inquiry to the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany.

troll of the organization. I wish to
refute most emphatically the charge
of Mr.. Gompers that his death was
caused by any agent of the United
States Steel Corporation. He died
one year later of cancer resulting
from the wound"
The large majority of our work
men were not desirous of engaging
in a strike" he said. They were

Throughout the war, our work.
men were loyal. While it is true
that there is a radical element of
foreigners at the present time, it is
only doing justice to say that in my
opinion, the majority of the for
eigners were good citizens"
DO you mean by foreigners
those not naturalized?" asked Chair
man Kenyon.
"I include all foreign born"
Threats Were Made
1.-The men did not strike of their
own volition," continued Gary.
They were taken out by the con-
stant effort of union leaders to bring
about a strike. Threats had been
made-we have n great deal of
hearsay testimony that families were
told their children would be killed.
their houses burned if the men
didn't go out. Large numbers of
men remained away from work be-
cause they were afraid.
eff you exclude these. who did not
think there was sufficient protec-
ton. I think it is fair to say that
oil ~
our employees struck. If you include
them the total away from work was
about forty per cent"
Judge Gary said the men were
returning to work. More returned
Yesterday than on any day since it
started" he said.
Hours and Wages
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat. Ten
nessee. said it was contended that
the hours of labor in the steel mills
were unusually long.
"T want to refer to wages first,
said Judge Gary. THE lowest wage
rates paid by the corporation to un-
skilled labor working ten hours a
day are 40 cents per hour in our
basic eight -hour-day plant; AZ cents
per hour for ten hours. and for the
hours over eight, time and a-half is
paid. That is at n rate of 6S cents
an hour. making s4.62 per day.
THAT is the cheapest pay for
men. Some boys may get SO a day"
Highest Pay S32.56
"The highest earnings, of rollers.
is s3256 per day. They roll the hot
metal into sheets"
The general average wage of all
manufacturing plants. not including
executives, administrators and sales
ment, on July l, 1919. was 6.27
per day" He explained that some
men work eight, some ten and some
twelve hours a day. Men are per-
mitted to work only eight hours if
they desire, he said, when the labor
is unusually hard.
This question of hours is i'm
portant," he observed, "and 1 desire
to go into it fully later"
1T has been stated before this
committee" said Judge Gary, that
the steel companies have been guilty
of i'll treatment of their employees.
Some statements have been made
on misinformation and some abso-
lutely without foundation.
Il wish to state, Mr.. Chairman,
that there is no basic industry in
this country nor in the world. in my
opinion, which has paid larger wages

Rush Track Repair Work
on Harrisburg Division

The vast amount of construction
work. repairing and improving the
roadbed of the Harrisburg division,
Philadelphia and Reading railroad,
has necessitated placing an addi-
tional work train and full compile
ment of men at work at Lebaro on.
A total of four crews are in opera
ton. The four trains will have their
headquarters in the Lebanon yards.
To-day another large force of men
were employed to augment the road
way force in order to expedite the
work as speedily as possible. This
is the maximum number of men
ever employed on this division.
