Strike Is Ended When Director
General Hines Threatens to
Replace '10,000 Men With
Troops. ,
New Tork. Oct. 22. A threat by Di
rector General Hines to discharge ten
thousand striking . employes of the
American Railway Express Company
and send troops to drive wagons today
ended the strike which seriously ham
pered business and travelers in New
York city nearly a fortnight. The
strike was called without notice to
Hines ahd the men today voted unani
mously to return to work and await a
decision on their demands.
Striking express employes in New
York were warned by the railroad ad
ministration that unless ttaey return
to work their places would be filled
immediately and that any interference
with the conduct of the express busi
ness or its employes would be prose
cuted under state and federal statutes.
Not a longshoreman went to work
on1 the Chelsea." piers in response ' to
7 o'clock whistles this morning. Al
though' hundreds of dockworkers were
congregated in the vicinity of the big
trans-Atlantic steamship piers at an
early hour, their promises yesterday to
return to work in the Chelsea district,
one of the most important on the N3w
York front, brought no rosult.
It was on the word of the Chelae,
longshoremen that officials based their
prediction of a break in the strike
here. - ,
T. V. O'Conner, president of the
International Longshoremen's Associa
t'en, to whom the. promise to return
to work ha-.l ben made, express-jd sur
prise when informed this morning of
the failure of the Chelsea longshore
men to resume work on time, i He said
failure of the riggers' loca! to r'sums
their , employment probably was - the
reason for the longshoremen's, inactiv
ity. He explained that inasmuch as
the riggers operate the tackle and lines
on the ships and piers it would be im
possible for longshoremen t. begin
wrrk without them.
Foremen's whistles were blown for
resumption of work at piers along the
North river front from the Battery to
Twenty-third street as : is customary
before the . strike in summoning the
men to work. Not a man moved to

RUSSIAN ARMY
HELD FAST BY
SOVIET TROOPS
General Yudenitch Encounters
Desperate Resistance and
Fails to Penetrate Petrograd,
Towers of Which are in Sight
. London, Oct. 22. General
Yuden-
itch,' commander of the northwestern
Russian army, seems to have been
brought to a virtual standstill by the
stubborn defense of Petrograd, which
is almost within 'sight . of his men.
Soviet forces are even reported to have
taken the offensive north of Krasncie
Selo. but details of the fighting have
not been as yet fully, reported.
East of Pulkovo the Yudenitch army
appears to have encountered strong
Bolshevik columns. Pulkovo is about
three miles from the only remaining
railway line running south from Petro
grad and the importance of retaining
control of this road may explain the
savage fighting in that sector. Late
reports state heavier artillery is betas?
brought up by General Yudenitch.
Soviet troops reported to have been
concentrated near Gdoff, near Lake
Peipu3 are said to have been scat
tered by the antl-Bolsheviki. - Tin?
presence of this force on the left
flank of the Yudenitch army consti
tuted a seeming menace to the who'e
movement against Petrograd, and lno
appeared to indicate that the Bolshe
vik! are sull quite strong on the
coast west of Petrograd. ,
WAGE INCREASE
PROPOSAL MADE
BY WILSON MAY
SETTLE STRIKE
Washington, Oct.' 22. While '
the committee representing the
soft coal miners and - operators,
meeting " in a final effort to
avert a strike of half a million
miners November 1, were on the
verge tonight of the parting of
the ways. Secretary ' of Labor
Wilson held them "together over
night at least, with a proposal
'that wages be increased at the
expiration of the present con
tract .to an amount equal to the
difference between increases in
wages the miners received since
July. 1914. and the, increase in
the cost of living since then. The
proposal ignores the miners de
mand for a thirty hour week.
There is every assurance that
the operators will accept It, but
that the miners will reject it. '

SECURITY FOR ISSUE
President Blocker Authorized to
- Appoint Committee to Attain
End Desired Senator Bank
head Approves Plan.
Following a meeting yesterday af
ternoon, at which Persident McLaugh
lin of the Gulf Ports Terminal Rail
way Company, outlined a proposition
for Issuing bonds to the amount of
$500,000. Presidentt Louis deM. Blocker
of the Chamber of Commerce, was au
thorized to appoint a committee to de
vise ways and means to accomplish
the desired result.
The Gulf Ports Terminal Railway
extends from . Pensacola to within 18
miles of the east side of Mobile bay.
The 18-mile stretch, which is uncom
pleted, and for which the bond issue
is desired, is ready for steel, the right
of way being ready, grading completed
and no encumbrances of any sort out
standing, i . .
Mr. McLaughlin appeared , before
the Chamber-of Commerce yesterday
and explained in detail his" plans for
completing the road, 'including the
trestle and draw-bridge across the
bead of Mobile bay. He assured-the
chamber that the completed road would
pay large, dividends, and answered
numerous questions which were fired
at him by members present. His re
port impressed the chamber and Judge
Hoffman Introduced a resolution
which puts the chamber on record as
favoring the project. .
t Among the chief reasons set forth
by Mr.- McLaughlin as' to why and
how the completion of the road would
benefit Pensacola, were the following:
'There are approximately 5,000 miles
of railway in Florida. On every ton of
freight destined" for Pensacola, . and
all , other Florida points, originating
west of the Mississippi river, south
of Memphis, "'transportation charges
for 44 miles of unnecessary rail-haul
are now paid, and all tonnage for Pen
sacola from St. Louis, charges for 73
mile of unnecessary haul are col
lected. " On all traffic with Pensacola
as now done south of Chicago and
west of Mississippi river charges are
paid on unnecessary and circuitous
rail haul. ' This has restricted the
city's commerce.
"All tonnage of coal and fabricated
material from . the great Birmingham
mineral district, destined for Pensa
cola and the navy yard is now hauled
by rail approximately 258 miles. Com
pletion of this line of railway in con
nection with the Warrior river barge
line, now owned and operated by the
federal government, -will reduce the
rail haul to 52 miles.
'The increase in wealth, population
and railway mileage, west and north
west of Pensacola has been very great
during the last twenty-five years, but
the city's connection with these pros
perous states remains practically un
changed from what it was fifty vears
sro. a nortnern connection then was
all that was desired and the roads
were located to serve that. The city's
commercial importance has suffered
on account of this.
"By arranging to use the trestle
bridge across the head of Mobile bay
for highway traffic as well as for rail
way traffic, "Pensacola Aa put on the
great , national east and swest 'high
ways. '
"The time required - from here to
Mobile for passengers will be short
ened more than one hour and the cost
is never likely to be more than 3 cents
per mile.. "
"Satisfactory assurances have been
given me that Mobile and Baldwin
counties will "take at par $150,000 of
my proposed bond issue when the line
is completed. .
"If the citzens of Pensacola will join
ne as partners in completing this un.
dertakiner. we can keen this fiO mll
or railway as an inaepenaent line that
will he operated In the Interest of
Pensacola and bring four new lines of
railway here.
Pensacola gives the belt line for which
the city voted bonds.

John B. Jones, Local Member,
Has Asked Chairman Borein
,For Information as to Meet
ing Saturday.
Definite information is expected to
day in regard to the meeting here
Saturday of the State Centennial Com
mission, has wired Chairman Borein
at Tampa, asking, him for a statement
as to the proposed meeting. It is
understood that Jules M. Burguerles,
the Palm Beach member, is In New
York on business, and for that reason
the local Centennial workers do not
expect the meeting to te held until a
week from Saturday. However, no
definite information has been received,
and until such time the . tentatively
announced date stands.
R. Pope Reese, who was one of the
principal Pensacola speakers at Talla
hassee, has suggested that the Royal
Boosters be organized into a Centen
nial Club and in that way kept to
gether as an efficient and powerful
organization to aid m all development
plans for the city. Some action will
be taken Shortly, it is believed.
Jerry Carter, state hotel inspector,
says ' he finds West Florida, very
strong for Pensacola. Jerry says the
reason Jacksonville's delegation to the
Tallahassee meeting was so small was
because part of them started by water
but got hung up on the lilly pads in
the St. John's river.
Chairman Ben S. . Hancock of the
Centennial . Executive Committee, who
has Just returned from Chlpley tells
a story of Joe '.Williams of Washing
