From the St James’ Gazette ‘A most Wonderfal invention is reported trom Vienus. An Austrian engineer has, it 1s sald, de- signed a truck to run before every railway train, being maintained always st a fixed (but adjusta- bie) distance in front by the force of an electric current transmitted along the metals from a Gynamo on the engine. The current 1s conducted through mercury contained in glass tubes on the pilot truck. If, therefore, the truck comes into collision the tubes are broken and the contact consequently destroyed. ‘The interruption of the current instantly and automatically applies the breaks on the following train.

This course was resolved upon Satur- day at the first convention of the new district as- sembly of Reading Ratlroad employes. About seventy-five delegates were in attendance, repre- senting every branch of employes of the road. After over four hours’ deliberation an order was issued for a general strike on all Lines operated by the Reading company, with the exception of those in the passenger service, the order to include all employes at the company’s mines. It was stated further that the passenger men would also be ordered out soon if it should be found necessary. ‘The convention adopted resolutions censuring the company for violating the thirteenth article the agreement made a year ago between the of- cers of the company and the employes, which Tead as follows: “That every man employed by the company shall receive a talr and Just iavesti- gation of any grievance, of complaint, entered against him before he shall be discharged or sus- pended.” It was because of this violation and the company’s refusal to arbitrate the differences with the committee appointed to settle the dim- culty that the convention decided to order the strike. ‘The order was issued at once, and word Was telegraphed fo all the stations on te system. It was also unaulmously resolved that the em- ployes of the company, or a committee represent ing them, refuse to meet the officers of the com- Dany until aguarantee shall be given that the articles of agreement would be strictly adhered to and until the dismissed men shall be reinstated, Phe following notice was issued Saturday night, signed by General Manager McLeod, of the Phila- deipuia and Reading Raiiroad: “Work will be re- sumed on Tuesday morning, December 27, at the Port Richmond yard.

COAL AND FREIGHT TRAINS STOPPED. All coal and freight trains on the Mahanoy and Shamokin division of the Reading road have been stopped, and the men are firm in their determina- ton to move no trafic. On Sunday, the 18th, over 5,800 loaded coal cars, made up into 53 trains, passed through Readiny from the Schuyikil coal region for Port Ricamon and other points south. Last Sunday not a single ear Was moved, and the coal trade is practically dead.

A ineeting of the Katlroaders’ Assembly was held here Sunday, and, while no definite action was taken, the prevalling sentiment was in favor of standing by the strikers. ALL SILENT AT PORT RICBMOND. ‘The great coal yards at Port Richmond were silent and deserted yesterday. Long lines of cars stood on the tracks, and a general feeling of deso- lation pervaded the place. ‘The executive board of theemployes’ convention were quartered all day ina little cigar store. Telegraphic reports from Shamokin, Pottstilis, Mahanoy City, wr lamsport, Tamaqua and other places were’ re showing that the men were still firm in their int vention to hold out.

If the company 1s compelled to secure non-union iabor, that labor will be given permanent employment, and those whose places they take will never be allowed to again enter the services of the company.” An oficial of the company, when told that there was an agitation for arbitration or compromise, said that there was nothing to arbitrate or com that the men bave disobeyed orders and they must remain discharged. The others have got to work and do as they are told, or they won't be allowed to stay where they are. ’ All that the Reading Rail- road Co. asks fs the right to run its own property. ‘There is no question of wages involved.
