Kingston school children were klled
here to-day when trolley pole came
off car which was carrying them to

afire. The other end fell to the bridge,
charging the rails.

Union Leaders
Oppose Strike
OF Train111en
Heavy Majority for Walk.
Out Indicated as Vote Is
Canvassed in Spite of
Warming Issued by Lee
Grievance Board toDecide
May Attempt Reopening of
Negotiations With Roads
to Rescind Wage Cuts

CHICAGO, Sept. 26 (By The Asso-
ciated ss).-Leaders of the Big
Four brotherhoods and affiliated rail
road unions tonight declared that they
had little doubt that the railway en-
sployees had voted for a general strike
rather than accept wage reduction,
but announced that the conservative
council of the leaders might prevail
against walk-out.
General chairmen Of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen began count
ing the $4,000 strike ballots of their
men, but admitted before the first en-
velope was opened that, Judging from
the known temper of the men, the re-
suit will be overwhelmingly in favor of
strike.
Always Vote for Strike
"Our past experience has been that
SO per cent of the men always will vote
to strike" said Vice President James
Murdock.
Next Monday officials of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, Order of
Railway Conductors, Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen and
Switchmen's Union of North America
will meet here to count the strike votes
of their 259, 900 members.
Railroad union leaders here expect all
the brotherhoods and the Switchmen's
Union to cast substantial maiorities for
strike. The affiliated shop crafts have
already voted, by majority of ap-
proximately 325,O0O to $4,000, to walk
out, and are only waiting to see what
action the other unions will take and
for the United States Railroad Labor
Board to dispose of the pending work
ing rules agreements.
Reports of the general chairmen of
the trainmen when they assembled to-
day were plainly disappointing to the
union leaders. The trainmen had voted
on separate ballot because their lead
ers did not approve of the joint ballot
prepared by the other unions. On
addressed a circular letter to the men,
in which he pointed out five reasons
why he thought strike would be- un-
wise at this time and why the men
might expect to accept some wage
reduction.
Lee Puts Case Up to Men
He asked the men to consider the
fact that wages and working conditions
Of all classes established since 1918
were the result of World War; that
100000 men are now unemployed;
that nearly all classes of labor have
been forced by mediation, arbitration,
strikes or lockouts to accept reduced
rates of pay during the past year: that
the increased wages granted railroad
men last year were based on increased
cost of living, and that government re-

associate judge of the Court or An

was under consideration by the lead
ers for some time, but finally the up-
state men yielded to the territorial
argument and swung into line for
Justice Scudder.
Miss Harriet May Mills. of Syracuse
who presided as permanent chairman
made the hit of the day by predicting
the election of AL Smith as Governor
next year.
Mr.. Smith was on the platform at
the time and seemed immensely
pleased. Tammany Hall has been
chilly place for him since his retire
ment from the Governorshir, because
of the fact that William R. Hearst has
dominated both Charles f. Murphy and
Mayor Hylan. The greeting he rot
yesterday seemed to convince him that.
at last he had escaped from an eclipse.
AS temporary chairman former Gov
ernor Smith vigorously assailsd the
record of the Miller administration
without mentioning the name of the
Governor.
Beer Plank Is Rejected
The upstate delegates made a vigor-
Gus protest against a beer and light
wine plank prepared by the Tammany
men, and it was left out of the ulat-
form, although former Judge Edward
j. McGoldrick, chairman of the COM
mittee which drafted the platform, said
that 1T was perfectly good wet
plank"
The name of Mayor Hylan was not
mentioned and his administration was
not directly indorsed, although there
was slight reference in the platform
to investigating committees which ha-
rassed New York.
Woodrow Wilson, Murphy and Smith
came in for generous applause.
The platform, framed in the main by
former Justice McGoldrick, attacks al

aHe game, llterally Wrenched and
torn from the death clutch of the fad

lead of more than two full games in
the race for the flag. If they capture

pionship the team has achieved since

Yesterdays victory gave the Yankees
the Junior worlds series" by three
games to one, and placed upon Speak

means the blasting of their hopes for
another championship.
That the local flag hunters did not
suffer a reverse yesterday is due to
Babe Ruth and two mighty home runs
which he sent screaming into the upper
tier of the right field bleachers. The
first was the long-awaited fifty-seventh.
The blow came in the first inning and
was made off the delivery of Stanley
Coyeleskie. The bases were unoccopied
at the time.

the third inning. The ball was hit on a

low, and it crashed into the green wall
a short distance to the left of the green
canvas screens. 1t bounced back so
sharply that Speaker, by fast fielding,
was able to hold it to double.
Ruth's batting average for the day
was 1000: In four trips to the plate
he made three hits and was passed once.
The $4,000 fans inside the inclosure
gave Ruth the widest ovation ever ac-

that went up lasted long after the Bang

When promoters of the Lincoln

in 1882.

by the state this year when the

the murderer, whom crooked law

law, he became a bandit. But he
never was bad at heart, and this

Not only because Lincoln was
quartered here Is the site of the
block house famous. Several other
prominent figures of American his

matters of vital importance were

Sleepy Eye Authorities are unan-
imous in their opinion that where
the traffic exceeds one thousand cars
day gravel surface will not hold
up. This being the case 1t seems
reasonable to suppose that the road
through here will be one of the early
ones to be paved. This movement
by Pres. Kuske and the Commercial
Club Is timely and will have the ef-
feet of convincing the State High
way Commissioner that the people
along the Black and Yellow trail will
CO. operate in every way possible to
further the good roads movement.

USE MOTOR TRUCKS
Situation As Viewed In The
Twin Cities; Many Men
viii Be Idle
limited Press Dispatchl

st. Paul, October 17.-With outside
traffic shut off by the railway strike,
practically all of the motor trucks en-
gagged in wholesale and retail COM
merce could be thrown into the breach
in the distribution Of necessities for
twin cities. the commercial bodies OF
st. Paul and Minneapolis said today.
Food supplies with the exception OF
fresh meats are sufficient for three
months, in, the twin cities, and for
the state for one month.
II Packing plants in South st. Paul
could supply fresh meats for two
weeks, but would have to close down
in two weeks in the event of a strike.
All Industries with some supplies on
hand could operate for time. but
ly small amount OF supplies and
material on hand would have to close
up Immediately.
In case of the rail tie up there would
be thousands Of men thrown out of
employment, in the face of the fact
that the unemployment situation is
already serious one. Railway un.
ions here held conference Sunday in
preparation for the strike which has
been called for October 80. Union Of
ficials said that they saw no way to
ployes of the 500, Great Northern,
and Northern Pacific, were hopeful
that the strike would be averted. Ex-
ecutives on all Of the roads mentioned
are on good terms with their employees,
and say that strike would be re-
grettable.
Postoffice officials viewed as the
most serious phase Of the strike the
shutting off of the delivery Of the
mails land parcel post. They stated
however, that they thought that the
unions would guarantee the furnish
ing Of trains for the transportation OF
regular mail and parcels post mail
This would materially relieve the
transportation shortage it was be-
iieyed.
