May 12.—Excitement was occasioned here tonight by the statement of men coming out of a widely advertised meeting ~ of “engineers and firemen” in the Union Labor Temple that “3,000 engineers and firemen on the Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio, and Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroads” would strike tomorrow morning. Rail- road executives hearing the report at once prepared for any eventuality while declaring that no demands had been made on them, and industrial heads were active. It was not until after mid- night when the meeting adjourned that it became known that few engineers and firemen of the roads named had been in attendance. Arthur J. Lovell, representative of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen aud Enginemen, quiéted the excitement when he made the following statemen “1 arrived here from Cleveland this afternoon and I am. certain that no au- thorization had been given for taking a strike vote in Pitisburgh at the time I left that city. I did not authorize 't after 1 reached here and 1 would have known of it if it had been authorizel by any one else empowered to do so. “It is possible a strike vote was taken at the meeting, but 1 am inclined to think that the meeting was very large- ly made up of men who have becn on strike for some time. I don't thiuk it will change the situation in* the least. ln fact, 1 don’t believe the engineers and firemen want to strike. On the other hand, I believe the trend is in the other direction. It all looks to me liKe in- spired stuff, the end of a dying siua- tion. The strikers have burned their bridges behind bolster up the them and are trying to situation bq .just such things as this. They have worked it at points in the east where I have been re- cently and they are working it here.” Railroad officials when they heard of Mr. Lovell's statement expressed satl faction, but declared they were gZoing on with their preparations in order to meet a situation which might be creied by even a small number of enginecrs and firemen failing to report for work.
