eral persons from being ground to
death under the wheels of Penn

stop at the crossing and thus the
driver was in position to see the
approaching train. however. several
pleasure cars continued to cross the
rails and one only missed being
struck by the locomotive by a few
inches. Women on two buses at the
the crossing had their nerves con-
siderably shaken by the incident.

gates until the engine was upon the
crossing and then did not get them
completely lowered before the train
had passed and raised them imme-

PRESS Strike
Men Ordered to Work by
Union Head-Meeting is
Held at Noon Today

NEW YORK, Sept. ia meeting

International Printing Pressmen and
Assistants Union and officers of the
New York Web Pressmen's Union,
No. 25, called for noon today, offer
ed virtually the only hope of settle
ment of the strike of pressmen which
has materially curtailed publication
of most of the city's leading daily
newspapers.
The strike, which began when
workers on morning newspapers left
their posts shortly after midnight
yesterday morning, continued
through yesterday and last night,
with both afternoon and morning
papers resorting to limited editions
bearing the title the combined New
York newspapers. and carrying on
the front page the name of each
paper affected.
Mr.. Berry, in a letter sent to the
local union last night, ordered the
men to return to work, declaring the
strike was unauthorized and failure
to comply Immediately with his re-
quest would result in a suspension of
the unions charter. Early this morn
ing he had received no answer to
that communication. but If was ex-
pected the reply would be delivered
at the MONDAY conference.
The papers published this morn
ing were thin, eight page affairs,
containing little or no advertising
and no editorials. Features were
curtainel and one of the leading
stories on all front pages was an ac-
count of the pressmens strike.
Five men who said they were
pressmen for the World, were ar
rested early today, charged with ma
licious mischief by detectives who
said they seized fifty bundles of
newspapers from an elevated train
and carried them in a taxicab TO
the East river ostensibly with the
intention of destroying them.

Instead of throwing this matter
further into politics." said SiIzer.
l prefer if possible to take it out
and pursue the more orderly course
or the law. There has already been
TOO much Of politics and much loose
talk"
Governor Silzer declared that the
question involved in the traction
embroglio was whether the state or
a corporation is supreme.
AS soon as the state, through its
court, in an orderly and legal man
ner, establishes its sovereignty those
who have chosen to defy it, will
come to their senses" said the Gov
ernor.

company itself for a settlement of
the difficulty was out of the question
during the time the public Is incon-

mind was too prone to accept any
thing at such a time and that it
would repent of its snap Judgment in
accepting any bargain with the COM

hanging fire. Mr.. Sllzer declared
tha when the public mind is at
ease it can better discuss plans and
reach saner conclusions.
