New Walkout Starts

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 10 (By
The Associated Press) ):-Sporadic
walkout of members of the Big Four
transportation brotherhood was ex-
pected today following permission
given by their chiefs to remain away
from their posts until the danger of
being shot or beaten" by armed
guards on railroads passes.
Thousands Of letters received at
the brotherhood headquarters here
evidently have undermined neutral
ity of those organizations.
Permission to the men to remain
from work was given yesterday fol-
lowing the walkout of 1900 engi-
neers, firemen, trainmen, conductors
and switchmen on the Elgin. Joliet
& Eastern railroad yesterday at
Joliet, ILL.,. where the men quit work
because state troops are on guard.
Although officers of the brother
hood were sent to Joliet to endeavor
to straighten out the trouble, it was
pointed out here by Warren s.
Stone, president of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers. that "con-
ditions were as serious in fifty other
places"
Complaints have been received by
the heads of the Engineers, Broth
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, whose headquarters
ara here, that since the shopmen's s
strike was called the men have
been abused and assaulted by rhe
arrned guards.
ALLEGED cases of shootings by
guards have been received from
various places, including Whining
ton, n. O., and Terre Haute. Ind.
At Wilmington, an engineer is re-
ported to have been shot as he dis
mounted from his cab.
brotherhood leaders make no Sc
cret of their belief that the 'piece-
meal walkouts would spread. as a
result of their virtual notice to the
men that they decide for themselves
whether conditions justify their re-
naming away from work.
When the men cannot go to
work without having irresponsible
armed guards endangering their
lives. they may go home and stay
there until the condition Is reme-
died" Mr.. Stone said in announcing
the notice had been served.

in New York Friday to frame their

CONCERT
ANOTHER HIT
Large Crowd at CaIedonian
Park-Next Concert to
Be At School No. 8.

Although the band concert at CAL
edonian park last night was rather
disappointing, due to the fact that
the music could not be heard to any
great distance In the park. because
the stand had been erected on the
pier out over the water allowing the
music to be carried up and down the
river instead of over the land. one
of the largest crowds which has yet
attended concert was present. The
music was furnished by the NUM-
cipal band of twenty-five pieces and
consisted of popular marches and
classical music.
The playing of the band was
greatly applauded by the crowd
present, and the ringing of bells on
the boats in the river gave evidence
that the program was greatly en-
joyed by those who were in the
boats, some of whom 1t is said came
from nearby municipalities to enjoy
the music.
Situated as 1t was on a pier out
over the water on the extreme west
end of the park, it was with diffi-
Guilty that persons in the park could
hear sonre Of the selections. Of
course the popular music and
marches could be heard about the
park to good advantage. hut in the
more classical music, much Of
which is played on the reed instru-
ments the volume necessary to carry
the music into the park was lacking.
1t is generally admitted that the
platform should have been placed in
the center of the pier for the best
results.
The next concert will b, given at
school No. s near the City hospital,
on Wednesday night. The music on
that occasion will be furnished by
the Perth Amboy Concert band
which organization received consid-
erable praise for the music render
ed at Bay View Park last week. The
organization will consist OF twenty
five pieces and render a program OF
popular music.
Commissioner Edward Lembcke
of the Park Commission, said today
that the principal reason for select
ing school No. as the place for the
nexe concert, is to give the patients
at the hospital an opportunity TO
hear the music. 1t is believed that
the music furnished by the band
may do much towards cheering up
the patients at the institution.
The program for next week Will
