TRACK AND RAIN Railroad Men Attend Banquet PITTSBURG, March George F. Baer, 01 the Philadelphia Reading railroad; Frank S. Black former governor of New York, and J. T. McCleary, secretary of the American Institute of Iron and were guests, of honor at the dinner of the Traffic Club astech, of Pittsburg tonight.

Special trains from New York and Chicago brought many important railroad men here, among their number beting nine railroad presidents. Willis L. King, president of the Jones Steel company was toastmaster. In his address Mr. Black declared he "had no message that was not conveyed by every rising sun.

If I have anything to say it is not 80 much a message, as a protest. I protest against that spirit of suspicion and unrest that so distorts our views and puts hostility in the place! of friendship. If I could reach all the people on the railroads I would say, stop the constant nursing of your wrongs, which have been proclaimed and magnified until they are almost a national lamentation. Change these lonesome songs for national beatitudes. If that change should start and move along, the business of the country would spring to its feet and confidence and union with their tremendous power would set the tide toward national prosperity and peace." Brotherhood to Hold Big Meeting ALTOONA MEMBERS OF B.

OF R. T. PREPARING TO ATTEND HARRISBURG CONVENTION Several hundred members of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen of this oity are preparing to attend the international convention of the order, which meets in Harrisburg the week of May 9. In addition to the delegation from this city, the brotherhood drum corps will attend land remain at the convention during week. Word has been received from Harrisburg that arrangements have been completed for the handling of 3,600 people at the present time, and when the convention meets fully 5,000 will be accommodated.

So busy are thie members of the committee that they are making personal canvass of the city to secure every vacant room. Even the suburbs are being searched and rooms are being engaged with the understanding that more be used if it is possible. It is the plan of the committee to secure 1,200 rooms, besides what the hotels can furnish and it is a gigantic task. The crowd in the city outside of the regular delegates from many cities, will be great. The committee has raised a fund of 000, with which to pay the delegates while they are present.

Speaking of the coming convention, the Harrisburg Star-Independent has this to say: "Hotels, boarding houses and private homes in city will opened to welcome the visitors, but there is not enough room at the disposal of the railroaders to accommodate the 5,000 visitors expected. "Harrisburg's defeated opponents, who hoped to take the convention to their duties this year, will be here in force and will require headquarters to carry on the campaign. Where they will get them will be a mystery, as all available space is closed up for the three weeks Numerically, the convention will be a veritable inauguration crowd, lasting longer than any inauguration ever lasted. "The city will experience monetary effect of coronation exercises without the crowning of a king it the money left behind is compared with the London crowds extravagance at the coronation there. "The dity is to be congratulated on opening the parks for park benches make admirable beds if others cannot be secured.

The Pennsylvania state legislature will still be in session and will monopolize many of the desirable bunking places. "A house-to-house canvass is being instituted to secure quarters for the visitors, but this is not proving as successful as it should. Fortyone days remain to get the remainder of the delegates placed ind the committee will work hard to show city is in the class of Columbus, who entertained the railroaders two years ago and Atlanta, the host of four years ago."
