The action of the strike Iwaders taken late   today   followed   the   calling   of  a strike of employe.s of ,ill .sieel plant.^ of the Brthlelieni Steel Comiimiy.   .\ sub¬ committee of the natiori:il  strike eom- inttt««, appointed to arranee n confer- j cnte with  the heaiH of the four mil- | road hroth«>rhoode, waa  ffiven  specific j instruction aa to action it should take.

Conductor Confesses $4,800 Graft "Knocked Down" From  Trolley Fares
Through arrests that have been made within the past few days, officials of the Wilkes-Barre & Hazleton Railway Com¬ pany believe they have broken up a system of grafting that has cost the company thousands of dollars every year. The com¬ pany was aided in bringing the grafting to an end by the secret service men who have been doing duty on the cars running be¬ tween this city and Hazleton.
One of the conductors arrested confessed to "knocking down" to the extent of $4,800, and when taken before an al¬ derman in Hazleton he signed a judgment note in favor of the company for that amount. TTic company became suspicious of this conductor when he recently purchased a property in Hazle¬ ton that is valued at $8,000.
TTiis conductor's method of "knocking down" is said to have been through the war tax paid by passengers who boarded the trains at stations where tickets are not on sale and by giving half-fare tickets where unsuspecting passengers paid for adult tickets. It was also the custom of this conductor to permit his friends to ride to and from this city and Hazleton without pay¬ ing fare, according to the report of the secret service men.
One of these persons thus favored is an official of the State, who charged up mileage he never paid. He is now on the anxious seat for fear he will be brought into the investiga¬ tion that is still in progress.

S*pt. 27.—The TTnited States Shipping Board today refused a request of the British Shipping Mints- try to turn over the giant steamship Imperator, former German liner, which was assigned to the (Tnlted States War Department by the peaeo oonferende to carry American troops home from France.
Tho request was transmitted thrmigh E. M. Raybum, of the New Tork of- flre of the Cunard Une, a Brltl|h com¬ pany, who telephoned J. H. Rosseter, of the Shipping Board, that ho had boon ordered to receive the ship at 10 a. m. this moming In New Tork har¬ bor.
The Imporator is one of seven for¬ mer German ships which wero dollvor- ed to the Shipping Board by the War Department
"Replying to Mr. Rayhtim'a r«4ua«t for the Imperator, I told him the Ship¬ ping Board had received no Instruc¬ tions to hand over the ship," said Ros¬ seter. "Until tho board gets instruc¬ tions it win continue to operate the Im¬ perator and all other German shlpa."
Rosseter said ^e had no idea who would give authority to order the bqard to hand over tho ships to British In¬ terests, unless It might be the peace conference.   The United States has no
I.«ndon, Sept. 27.—The great English railroad strike tonight was rapidly swinging Into a llfe-or-death grapple between organized labor and the gov¬ ernment, threatening to paralyse the ^ctivitie.s of forty millions of persons- unprecedented In history.
The government's leaders realize that life hangs in the balance, while the laborites are conscious that defeat will nwan a terrific blow to the prestige and power of organized labor in Eng¬ land. Both sides are preparing to flght to a bitter finish.
As the realization of the situation struck the publio in jp. panic, thousands rushed the stores, buying food-stuffs, hurriedly arranging business affairs »n4 closing offices until there might he an end to the strike. Other thou¬ sands wero trying to find temporary quarters, so they could live near their businesses.
Meanwhile both the strikers' leaders and government forces are marshalling their reserves for the siege, All day lon^ conferences probably .^'ill be held to consider momentous quefctions In¬ volved. It Is admitted the railway em¬ ployes possess a terrible and potential weapon In their pact in the triple al¬ liance with the miners and local trans¬ portation works.
A Grave Crisis.
An agreement exists whereby all are bound to strike on tbe retjuest of the railway employes. Such a strike would include half a million workers and owifld paralyze the Hfe of the nation. It was Indicated, however, the ."strik¬ ers will hold this weapon In reserve for the flght m th<* last ditch, fearing dis- sAtroue consequences to the nation. The rallwaymen are reluctant to risk at one throw the prestige they now en¬ joy.
Ono of the arguments used by the Strikers In favor of the complete walk¬ out was that the government had plajt- ned to break up organized labor, and that the "die waa cast."
Robert Williams, head of the trans¬ port workers Issued a statement In which he said the triple alllanco "be¬ coming automatically Involved will completely paralyze the country."
The   government's    most
"I am convinced it is not a strike for better wages or conditions The railway men's conduct during the war demonstrated their patrioti.sm. When they realize they are being used by extremists for sinister pur¬ poses their common sense will re¬ sume sway and save the country and their own families from dis.as- ter.
"Meanwhile, in the lnteil;sts of the nation, the government hae no alternative but to accept the chal¬ lenge thrown down to society as a whole. It intends to meet tho blow with all the resources at its dispos¬ al. It will spare no expense In maintaining the social order on which the countrj''s prosperity de¬ pends."—Uoyd George to railroad strikers.

On© reason why the government Is not anxious to tum the Imperator over to England Is that It Is understood the vessel win be given to the Cunard line as a passenger ship a'xd will not, ; was expected, be used as a transport.

Washington, Sept. 27.—The course of history-QWking action in Washington tonight turned about the physical con¬ dition of President Wilron, who Is spooding back to Warhington as fast as a train can carry him.
The rapidity of the President's recov¬ ery from his present illness wae the big "if in all discussions of plans for important events scheduled for the next few weeks.
Until officials get word to do other¬ wise, however, they are going ahead on the assumption that the President wiH be re*dy to offer thero aid and advice after resting a fwr deys here.

A knife thrown by his mother struck Benjamin Mazur. aged 7, of 35 Morris street, Plymouth, piercing his skull and causing his death yesterday afternoon in Mercy Hospital, The end of the knife sev¬ ered a blood vessel which the surgeons were unable to reach. The police authorities obtained a statement from the mother, Mrs. John Mazur, at her home last night. She will be arrested today on a charge of manslaughtei-, but will likely be released because of the accidental nature of the tragedy.
Mrs. Mazur and her son were cutting weeds yesterday moming in a garden patch adjoining their home when the incident occurred. The mother told her son to go into the house for a knife. He r<?- turned with a large bread knife. After using it for several minutes the woman attempted to throw it to one side.
As the knife left the mother's hsuid the 7-year-old boy walked in front of her, it is said. He was struck on the right side of the head, the edge of the instrument entering just over the ear. There was some force in the throw and the knife lodged in the youngster's scalp.    He fell to the ground with the knife protruding.
His mother quickly gathered him up and started for a drug store. On the way there she was stopped by a pedestricui on Frank¬ lin atreet, who urged her to take the victim into the home of Henry Wolfe nearby. When the boy was placed in bed in the Wolfe home Major W. C. Stiff of Plymouth was called. TTie boy was unconscious when the physician arrived and after a preliminary treatment an automobile of T. V. Brennan took him to Mercy Hospital.
An examination revealed that the edge of the knife had pene¬ trated the skull and ruptured a blood vessel, Tlie wound was too deep for the surgeons to tie up the vessel. The boy died at 1 o'dock in the afternoon. A post-mortem examination was per¬ formed at the hospital by Dr. Oaniel Dailey and Dr. S. W. Gryczka.
Police officials of Plymouth interviewed Mrs. Mazur al her home on Morris street last night. She explained the details of the accident. Convinced that she was guiltless of any wrongdoing, the authorities decided to take no action against her until today, when a judge couid be reached to take the charge of manslaughter. It is believed that after the preliminary hearing she will be releeised and that the coroners verdict will help her in escaping a trial in court.

PRESIDENTS ILLNESS OF SERIOUS NATURE
The purchase of eight properties In the Newtown section of the dty by the HesB-Goldsmith Silk Company is claimed to be the forerunner of the construction of a new silk mill In this city. The properties are situated on Blackman and Arch streets and Daisy . . lane. They were sold through James ^^1 H. ShovUn for an amount said to be approximately $22,000.
Officials of tho Hesa-Goldsmith com¬ pany announced some time ago that frequent flooding of the min caused by the overflowing of Solomon's creek would eventually result in the company building another mill unless condi¬ tions couid be remedied.
—a strike which halted practically every means of modem transportation —was the experience which England passed through today.
The strike called by the National Kallway Union had become thorough¬ ly effective early today and hy the time England arose for the day's work, the walkout was making itself felt In almost every form of British Itfe.
Hopes for an early settlement of the trouble rested In a conference between Sir Eric Geddes, minister bf transport, and C. T. Cramp, president of the rail¬ way union. While hoth sides had an¬ nounced thetr determination to flght to a flnish. It was the general belief that Englifind's peril, In the face of a national railway strike, waa too menacing to permit Its oontlmteance, so long as a chance for agreement ex-

Tho gravity of the situation was heightened by the fear that the miners and transport workers, who with the railway men compose the triple aniance would Join the strike.
"The strike means the triple alliancs Is involved automatically," Robert WllUams, secretary of the transport workers said today. "The country will bo paralyzed, but I do not think the strike will be a lengthy one."
Late reports today Indicated the strike was practically complete In all parts of the country except Ireland. The workmen there were awaiting or¬ ders from union headquarters In Lon¬ don, but strike committees were being formed all over the country. It is es¬ timated that more than half a million actual strikers and another half mtt- l)on allied workers, Including clerks, were idle today.
If the transport workers cease work tn a sympathetic move, England would face the danger of isolation from the outside world, inasmuch aa tbe loading and operation of steamers would be affected. Dock workers are included in the transport union.

Mrs. Anna S. Martin, Wife of Col. T. R. Martin, of 29 West Union street, died last night at 7:30 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. W. Alk- man, 49 GHffith^ street. Plains. Her death was caused by a complication of diseases. Her illneae dated back sev¬ eral months. Col. Martin was out of th© city at the time of his wife's death and did i»ot return until last night at 9:39 o'clock as the result of failure to receive messages sent to him on Fri¬ day Informing him of his wife's condi¬ Uon.
Mrs. Martin was 6.=; years of age. She was formerly a resident of Philadel¬ phia. During her residence in this city she waa a member of the Metho¬ dist Church and waa active In civic af¬ fairs.

the President insisted upon sittinp up, but weakness forced him back to bed.
Although there have b^en alterations in the schedule of the I'residenfs spe¬ cial train, the traffic experts in charge of routing late today were expecting to have Wilson back in Washington at 8 a. m. Sunday. The rid© late this afternoon was rather uncomfortable with much dust and the weather waa quite warm. But the President seemed to be standing it well.
It is necessary that his mind be bur¬ dened as little as possible so that his rest be undisturbed. Therefore, since his illness, he has not seen newspapers and no telegrams bearing on matters of state have been placed hefore Ifim so far as could be learned, {le has to some extent at least lost touch with the Senate fight over the treaty ratifica¬ tion—the flght in which he spent his own vigor until he came to the point of collapse with his task still un¬ finished. It had been reported that a delegation of Senators planned to caU on him in Washington and inform him of the situation with regard to reserva-'
tlons.    However, he win hardly be in  PRINGLE VOTE RECOUNT condition to meet such a delegation for somo time to come.
Mrs. Wilson Helps
There was a distinct atmosphere of cheerfulness around the private car Mayflower in mid-afternoon. Dr. Gray¬ son smiled more readily. "Major" Brooks, the President valet, was in better spirits. Mrs. Wilson was serene. Those In close touch with the President say that without Mrs. Wilson the President would not have gotten along so well as he has. They give her full credit for being of great assistance, both as a nurse and as a happy influ¬ ence In the sick room atmosphere.
The Presidential special tonight had covered mo*t of the 1,449 mile run be¬ tween Wichita, Kansa.i, and Washing¬ ton. The rrowfls seemed to have lost track ot it.    Sution pl^Mnos were

Dr. Gray.sqn, the president's physi¬ cian, ordered the .speed of the train cut down.
"The President is doing as well as can be expected," said Dr. Grayson in¬ formally tonight. "He still suffers from headaches and nervousness, but he has secured a little refreshing sleep and retained some nourishment. I be¬ lieve he will respond to the simple treatment of complete rest."
The reduction of speed will delay the lYesident's arrival in Washinpton thre© hours. Instead of getting there at 8 a. m., it will not reach Washington un¬ til 11  o'clock Sunday morning.
Great crowds gathered at the sta¬ tion, many asking whether the Presi¬ dent was coming out. He was in bed. Dr. Grayson was in Mr. Wilson's private car most of the time.
