HEADS READY FOR STRIKE FIGHT (Continued From First Page). most cases these orders have not been filled, but the wholesalers believe they will be able to protect their cus- tomers from day to day. ‘Will Hurt Theaters. heatrical producers agree that their business would be one of the first to suffer heavy loss from a rail- road strike. Managers estimated that such a disaster would affect at least 20,000 members of the profes- sion. Alf Hayman, general manager of the Charles Frohmaa company, said: “If the strike comes I will be very much inclined to close abruptly every theater and company in my control.” During the railroad strike of 1894 one of Charles Frohman’s companies was playing ‘“Shenandoah” at Me- Vicker's theater in Chicago to $1,600 a night. Within two days the re- ceipts dropped to $60. Inquiry today regarding the quan- tity of gasoline available for the thousands of motor cars which would be pressed into service for transpor- tation of commuters and food sup- plies in the event of a strike, devel- oped an insufficiency. The police department has com- piled a list of commercial automo- biles and horse-drawn vehicles which would be available. Milk Dealers to Help. Eighteen milk dealers representing the greater part of the industry sup- plying nearly 8,000,000 people in the metropolitan district in the metro- politan district aré prepared to throw their resources with the railroads, in the event of the nation-wide strike, in an effort to avert a milk famine here, It was announced today by George W. Alger, counsel for the Sheffleld Farms-Slawson Decker Milk companies. If necessary, Mr. Algr said, employes of these dealers would be taken from their present places and assist in operating milk trains. It would be physically impossible to get milk into the city except by train, Mr. Alger said. The eighteen dealers transport their milk each day on an average of 202 miles, some of them bringing it a distance of 500 miles. Mr. Alger said that if milk was brought by eutomobiley steamship and wagon, it would not arrive in condition to save lives of thousands of babies who depend on the commo- dity, i Boston Motorists to Aid. Boston, Aug. 31.—Motor car own- ers will participate actively in bring- ing milk and other supplies into this city if the railroads are tied up by a strike. The Bay State Automobile association has appointed a commit- tee to find out how many motor trucks are available for such service and its members have agreed to supplement these with their pleasure cars if nec- essary. They will also assis ing commuters into the city Preparations to meet a strike were continued the New Bngland rail- roads today President Edward Smith the Central Vermont 1 v, which 1s controlled by the G unk railway, has notified the ciation of railroad presidents that in case of a strike his road will treat with its men independently. It is understood that the Central Vermont trainmen have not voted to strike. The fact that the Boston and Maine railroad Is in the hands of a tempo- receiver has caused speculation as to whether this would have any bearing on the strike on its lines. Lawyers familiar with court decisions in similar instances were generally of the opinion that a strike would be permissible, but that any active in- terference with attempts of the road to operate its trains would constitute contempt of court. by of W rary Advertised Letters.

Humanity is just as much a part of the system as the ecngine or the lathe.” Mr. Garretson argued that the ef- fect of an increased wage on dividends should not be considered when it was obvious that employes were not be- ing paid a proper wage. Attacking the railways’ plea for ar- as insincere, Mr. Garretson that it was not offered to men who were so poorly organized that they could not enforce de- mands. “Danger Underlies.” “I say on behalf of these railroad men,” Garretson declared emphatical- ly, “that there is evidence today of a deadly danger underlying the social crust and that it is liable to be brought to the surface unless means are found to settle this difficulty be- fore it can reach the danger stage.’” He declared the brotherhood could call the strike off only by reporting that a satisfactory settlement had been reached. To postpone the strike after the men had voted it, Garretson declared, would mean the disintegration of the brotherhood and the turning over to the mob of the trains as in 1877 and 1894, “I want to Impress on the commit- tee,”” he said, “that since the begin- ning of these negotiations no definite proposal ever has been made to us by the other side. They have said but one thing: they the whole matter to the commerce commission.” interstate assure senators that not “d to “Believe in Arbitra “We believe In the principle bitration,” he said, “but not in bitration where we stand only to lose. The experience of our men Wwith ar- bitration has not made them in love with its practical results. There have. been many unfair men on our arbi- tration boards. Can you imagine two men having a case passed on in court?” he demanded, “and then after the litigants had left the court room, one of them arrogating to himself the right to interpret the verdict?” “Under ordinary processes of aur policles,” Garretson continued, ‘“we would be out of accord with all of the five propositions made by the president. But in the hope of effect- ing a settlement, we are willing to waive many deep-rooted principles and we are willing to aid in passage of a legislative remedy that will make it possible to recall the order to strike. The eight hour law, accom- panied by a provision to assure the ten-hours pay pending inquiry,—and I suggest a provision that the gov- ernment should bring suit in case a road refuses to grant the pay as is provided in the hours of service law— woudl satisfy us in this emergency.” Don’t Want Compulsory Arbitration. “As for compulsory arbitration,” said Garretson, “no influence that ever can be brought to bear can induce our organization to accept it. I want to go on record here as protesting against anything that savors of mak- ing men stay at work during any investigation.” The brotherhoods, Mr. Garretson said, would not oppose being drafted to run trains as long as it was only for military purposes. Garretson declared that in accept- ng the president’s proposal the men had yielded 50 per cent. of their de- mands.

Mr. Gompers said he believed had contributed as much as anybody in America to avoiding strikes. “But, gentlemen,” he said, “There are things worse than strikes.

Now, if this remedy is not right and is wholly wrong, what is the remedy ?" Mr. Gompers replied that under the circumstances the employes should be left free to strike whenever they saw fit, and not forced to ‘“unfold their arms” by law. The question of bring- ing about peace now, he insisted, should devolve upon the railroad heads, who should be expected to agree to some sort of satisfactory set- tlement. “It is more essential,” he said, “that the liberties of the employes should be safeguarded than that some suf- fering, which is certain to follow a strike, be avoided.” GERMANY DISAVOWS IN OWEGD MATTER Had No Uniriendly Intention Upon U. §. Steamer Says Note ‘Washington, Aug. 31.—Germany, in a note received at the state depart- ment today, practically disavows any unfriendly intention in the submarine on the American steamer Owego several weeks ago, and submits a statement of fact which is expected to close the case. The Owego was fired upon but un- injured. The note follows: “As established by Admiralty staff of the Imperial German Navy, a Ger- man submarine at 2:40, afternoon of 3rd, with clear weather and sea, sighted a slow-going ! steamer of an old type and stood by. Garretson added that he wanted to | | a distance of six thousand me- submarine made the steamer | to stop and gave two warning \s nothing huppened the r whose flag was not recog- nizable but which neverthe s con- tinued to proceed on its way, three further shots were fired. No Signal Given. “As the steamer neither made an ‘understood’ signal nor stood by, fire was opened on it. After six shots (eleven shots in all), it hoisted the American fiag on the forestay and stopped. The distance was now 2,000 metres. The submarine signalled ‘send immediate boat with papers,’ to which the captaln of the steamer answered by hoisting his designation signal but did nothing more. ‘““When, after a further seventeen minutes, no preparations were made to launch a boat the commander of the submarine fired a shot across the steamer’s bow. After ten minutes, the first officer came on board the submarine and stated that the captain had not observed the submarine until then. At the on Shots Mentioned. “The Imperial Government cannot glve any credence to this evasive ex- cuse since the note of August 18th (the American note) mentlons ten shots fired at the steamer from which it is undeniably clear that the warn- ing shots were heard by the captain of the Owego but that no attention wag pald to them. “Under these circumstances, the | Imperial Government finds itself un- der the necessity of emphasizing the fact that while the conduct of the commander of the steamer Owego was not in accordance witk the rules of international law. The captain would therefore have had only himself to blame had his conduct brought about unpleasant results.” ENTERTAIN LITTLE HOPE Chamber of Commerce Issues Circular Asking That Immediate Steps Be Talken to Unload All Cars.
