R. MEN VOTE TO QUIT IF CALLED OUT Special io The Inquirer. PITTSBURGH, March IS. Representatives employes of the Pennsylvania lines East and West voted unanimously at a meeting here -this afternoon to go out if a strike is called, but until a strike actually is ordered to sec that the railroad's service is not crippled even temporarily. tate Senator W.

J. Burke, general -chairman of the brotherhoods on the Baltimore and Ohio lines from Cumberland, to Chicago -Junction, Ohio, announced that last night's sporadic strikes in a territory covering seven States bad been checked. Tw I'hiladelphians, one a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive' Engineers, handed to United States Marshal Joseph Ilowley sixty-one subpenas- to be served on brotherhood leaders in Western Pennsylvania in the action filed in the United States Court in Philadelphia Satuidav, bv which a group of brother- i -l a i. Aided in Explosion of Graft in CarT ter-'Gaynor Case and Had Varied Career roaders claim that fully 150 men struck in the Philadelphia freight yards and that 150 more quit at other points on the division. While the B.

and O. men were leaving work, employes of the Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia and Reading Railway in this city observed the postponement. They were told of the action of the other railroaders, but continued at their posts. "The Baltimore and Ohio freight service, according to the strikers, was badly crjppled by the walkout, and indicated the seriousness of the possible strike. As far a strike issues were concerned, yesterday proved to be a day of waiting for officials and men.

The officers of the brotherhood were in Pittsburgh and the officials of the Pennsylvania and Reading roads were reticent. Among the men a rumor was current that the decision of the Supreme Court on the Adamson Eight-hour law would be announced, in Washington today. Of course, there was no way in which the report could be discussed officially. The railroad men predicted that the ruling of the Supreme Court would favor them. Company officials admitted they had heard such reports, but said they knew of no foundation for them.

L. P. Stradley. attorney for four Pennsylvania Railroad trainmen who filed bills in equity in the United States District Court on Saturday to restrain the local chairman and heads of the brotherhoods from placing a strike order in effect at this time, said yesterday thatjie might go into the court today and ask for a preliminary injunction. Mi'.

Stradley, however, did not seem at all sure about such an action and said that in any event it depend upon possible develop-, ments.

Understand clearly, please, that shoes do cost some more in io-- stances, fifty cerits a pair more for children's shoes, to a dollar or two more for grown-folks' shoes. Understand, also, that there is a demand for women's shoes of an elegance none of Solomon's wives ever strove after beautiful shoes, sGme of them of the fine leathers used for pocket boeks. Well and good "rich thy raiment as thy purse can buy." Such shoes cost a good deal, and, being high-style novelties are dangerous stock, which hazard is counted in tne price.

Los Angeles, vice president Order of Railway Conductors, aud Van Fitzpatrick, Washington, T. vice president Brotherhood of Railroad Not a wheel will be halted on the Pennsylvania Railroad until the strike order conies, announced Vice President I.ovell, of the Locomotive Firemen, tonight, following a two-hour meeting of nearly COO representatives of the en-gincfia, firemen, conductors and trainmen ol the Pennsylvania lines East and Major Cassius E. Gillette, c-hicf of the "filtration Bureau during the administration of Mayor Weaver, died at 1 o'clock yesterday morning at his home, South Twentieth- street. Heart disease was the cause of death.

He was in his fifty-ninth year. Major Gillette, who was an engineering expert of nation-wide reputation, became one of 1he most conspicuous figures under the regime, when he resigned 'bis commission in the United States to assume the posit ioa of Filtration Chief. He succeeded John W. Hill, but resigned this office, under some in 1905, and a month or two later he was appointed a member of an investigation committee. Nationally, he was best known for his work in uncovering contracting graft at Savannah.

His appointment to the Filtration Bureau followed under a guarantee of made up largely by private contributions, for a period of five years, to insure him against dismissal during that time. Major Gillette remained until the election of Mayor Mcybuin. when he was dismissed. During his incumbency he figured in a suit brought against the D. J.

MeNkhol Company, contractors tor the TorveMlale plant, when he declared that had been injected into a $1 9,0 iO.OiiO contract. The suit araint the company was lost, and a board of arbitration later awarded the contract for in excess of the original city price. During the suit it became known that the report submitted by Major Gillette upon the cost of the work had been, according to his own testimonv. made im bv I IT 'C- -rkyjii Continued From First Page The Fashions Demonstrated Are for Slim Women, Large Women, Misses, Girls and Even Little Children The dresses include evening gowns, dinner, dance and "Tuxedo" dresses; sports dresses and tailored models; lingerie dresses and filmy Georgettes.

TRAINMEN RETURN TO POSTS by their leadeis that a mistake had been made in ordering them out on strike, pending the expiration of the forty-eight-hour postponement agreed upon, nearly SOO freight trainmen of the lialtimore and Ohio Railroad, connected with the Philadelphia and Washington di- ision. returned to their posts yesterday. Many of the men boasted that the manner in which the railroaders had responded to the. supposed walkout order on Sat-ui-day night was proof of their determination to strike without further delay. Officials of the railroad insisted that not more than 150 men had left their jobs.

No passenger employes were among them. S.T. Cantrell. division superintendent, said yesterday that by noon the service had been fully restored. He placed the number of men who had struck at half that claimed by some of the local leaders.

"There were only 150 men who went out," said Mr. Caiitreil. "All are back at their Jobs now and service has been fully restored." The Baltimore and Ohio men were called out. by their local leaders on Saturday night through a misunderstanding. Word of the forty-eight-hour postponement reached Philadelphia about -1 o'clock Saturday afternoon; -but the B.

and O. men did not learn of it. At 7 o'clock they quit their posts. The lail- "I certainly appreciate the benehts I leceived from Tanlac and if this statement will be the means of aiding others who suffer as I did. 1 will gladly give it," said Mrs.

Frank Mattiford, 2217 South Twenty-second this city, Saturday. 'l can sincerely recommend Tanlac to all suiTerers of nervous indigestion because I know what it has accomplished for she continued. "My greatest trouble was nervousness. A sort of twitching pain would shoot up my spine. I was terribly run-down and finally lost all ambition and energy.

It seemed as if I always felt worse in the morning. I suppose that was because 1 was unable to get my rest at night. Gas would form in my stomach after eating. "Like a good many others, I was skeptical toward proprietary medicines and I hesitated a long time before I finally decided to try Tanlac. But I was soon convinced of Tanlac's merits when my appetite improved and my nerves quieted down, until-today I hardly know 1 have nerves.

Another thing I appreciate is the good bleep that enjoy now. My food supplies me with the proper strength and nourishment. Tanlac has really made me over like new. Tanlac is now being specially introduced and explained -Jacob Drug Store, 1015 Chestnut by the Tanlac Man. Advt.

Equally reticent upon this suo.iect were Elisha Eee, chairman of the Managers" Committee, and W. G. Lee, spokesman for the brotherhoods. Both refused to comment on this phase of the situation or" to give any intimation of what had transpired at the sessions during the day. "See Mr.

they said. The question under consideration today had to do with what would haopen if the law were declared unconstitutional or if the court failed to hand down a decision tomorrow. Whether either side had agreed to recede in the slightest degree from the firm stand it has hitherto taken, could not be learned. The managers have declared they would make no concessions until the highest court acted. No Strike in War Trie brotherhoods have informed President Wilson, however, that there would be no strike if the country became engaged in hostilities and that in any event they would provide train crews to move military and naval supplies.

It was assumed, for this reason, that the crisis resulting from the sinking of American ships would emphasized in ttie deliberation now going on. While W. G. Lee positively refused to' make any statement during the day, he did not discount in any way tlie optimistic prediction he made last night that an agreement would be reached by tomorrow and a strike averted.

In 190.. he was assigned to Savannah, in connection with investigations regarding alleged harbor "srraft," which resulted in the sending to jail of Captain Oberlin M. Carter and the flight from justice of Contractors Greene and Gaynor.

Had Varied Career Major Gillette visited the Fauama Canal zone before construction work began. At first an advocate of a sea-level canal, an investigation made him an advocate of the lock-system, out of which eventaully grew the present canal system. Major Gillette figured also in the great tire in Baltimore, when he was sent by the government to look after the dynamiting of buildings. Jn June, after the resignation of Filtration Chief Hill, in Philadelphia, Mayor Weaver, through former Judge James Gav Gordon. asked President Ta.ft to send Major Gillette to Philadelphia to go over the filtration work where it had been left by Chief Hill.

His arrival at Philadelphia and bisi appointment as chairman of Mayor Weaver's consultation board of expert engineers were announced simultaneously. The $75,000 bond received by Major Gillette at the time was characterized as "probably the most remarkable agreement ever entered into by a public official." The Filtration Bureau waa a temporary bureau in the city, and it was abolished, with its office of Chief, as soon as the filtration plant had been "completed.
