cupied this vantage point at In
tervals throughout the trip, and the
main points of the outing should be
available, on film, for the stay-at-
homes.
Among the first things seen in
Richmond was r., F. g. P. 4-6-2
locomotive, which, the lines repre-
sentative claimed, had once estab-
lished a speed record of lis miles
per hour. Dinner was next on the
program. Then our car was hauled
out to the r., r. & P. Acca yard
by an $50 switcher. Outstanding
features of this part of the visit
were:
The large r., F. g. P. high-speed,
high-wheel 4-8-4 freight engines.
Explanation of the automatic train
control in the shop where this equip
ment is tested and repaired. A ride
around the turn-table while we
counted the tracks radiating from
it-30 into the round house and 81
outside. Examination of the loco
motive repair shop, where we saw
several giants, mostly in many pieces,
and gained a much clearer idea Of
their real size (for example, that
stack which looks so small, away up
there on top of the smoke box, is
really a couple of feet in diameter,
and one could slide through 1t with
easel.
The only mishap on the trip &C.
CURED when one chap, anxious to
take a last-minute picture as we
prepared to leave, slipped and fell
on his back in the mud and grease
at the locomotive washing station.
What a mess! I've also been told
that certain members of the party
managed to find some chiggers
somewhere around the yard.
Returning to Broad Street Station,
we went up in J. r. tower, where
the controls for the stations inter-
locking plant is located. 1t is an
ectro-pneumatic plant, and its OPP
Grafton was explained and demon
strated by the two men on duty.
One of them confessed to being a
model railroader himself. Such a
hobby for him seems like the post
mans holiday" When we left the
tower it was almost time to prepare
for the return to Washington.
Many thanks are due the M. s.
M. E. for arranging such fine trip.
and to the r., F. & P for the Won
derful way in which they handled
it. They really did themselves proud,

be seen, even moved "locos" for the

War Department to

WASHINGTON, Nov. 90. CUP)-
War department officials, it was
learned today, will ask the next
congress for an additional S5,O00,-
100000 to equip an army of 100000
men~if such a force is deemed nee
essary to defend the western hemis-
phere
Authoritative sources said = pprox-
imately $8,000,0O0,000 would be re-
quired, but that 100000 600 of the
1892, 100000 provided for the army
during the current congressional
session still remains unexpended
The army hopes to have 100000
men under arms by June 80, 1912
Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of
staff, has estimated that between
100000 and 100000 men might
be necessary in event of major wal
in the western hemisphere.
The proposed S5,0000O0 1000 request
plus unexpended funds, would fully
equip a 100000 man army and
would leave backlog for an addi-
tional 100000 men if it were found
necessary to call them. Such a

lures arising from the Selective

will be given military training

Musical Artists
Threaten Strike
AGAINST 'Diciators'

NEW YORK, Nov 20. tUP) -
Leaders of the American Guild o.
Musical Artists, OF which Lawrence
Tibbett is president, threatened to
strike on radio programs TODAY
against what they said was an at
tempted dictatorship" over music
The guild yesterday lost the first
round in its legal battle with James
c. Petrillo and the American Fed
Grafton of Musicians. Supreme
Court Justice Aaron Steusr ended
temporary injunction restraining
the federation from asserting juriS-
diction over the instrumentahstS OF
the guild and from earring out
a threat to bar soloists from radio,
recording. concert halls and motion
pictures unless they joined that
union.
Justice Steuer's decision did not
dispose of a guild suit for a perma-
nent injunction against Petrillo and
the federation. He denied PetrllloS
cross motion to dismiss the suit.
Joining Tibbett in the legal battle
were Albert Spalding, Jascha Hell
fetz and Kristen Flagstad. Tibbett
also is president of the American
Federation of Radio Artists, the
membership of which includes Jack
Benny. Fred Allen and Bing crosby.
Guild officials said that if Petril-
10 prevents federation musicians
from appearing on radio shows with
guild instrumentalists that Ameri-
can Federation of Radio Artists
would refuse to permit its members
TO work with the musicians. The
radio artists membership includes
all persons who sing or speak on the
air, including many announcerS.
Justice Steuer ruled that since
both the guild and the federation
were affiliates of the American
Federation of Labor. the inStru-
mental soloistS must belong to the
union to which the AFL has award
ed jurisdiction. While Petrillo might
have arbitrary powers and the dam
ger of "extortion" may exist for
Soloists, such matters were out of
the courts jurisdiction, Justice
Steuer held.
