ORGANIZED LABOR
ENLISTS TO HELP IN
EXPANSION OF PORT
Central Union Joins "Greater
City" Movement, Calling
for Trade-getting Fund
and Indorsing Municipal
Loan.
Union labor yesterday enlisted In tha
campaign for a "Greater Philadelphia"
and following their enrollment In the
movement for an enlarged city, volun
teered to light shoulder to shoulder with
their employers for the cause. The Cen
tral Labor Union, at Us regular meet
ing, demanded that Councils make
posslblo the Improvements which have
been planned for the city by passing the
loan bill, and also urged upon tho Cham
ber of Commerce that It partl mate u Ith
labor organizations In the establishment
of a Jl.000,000 fund to be used In exploiting
Philadelphia and Its products throughout
tho t'nlted States and the world.
Resolutions, urging the Chamber of
Commerce to cooperate with the Labor
l'orward Movement Commtttoe and the
Central Labor Union to raise thr $1 0m),
000 fund were unanimously adopted Cop
ies of the memorial wpra forwarded to
each member of the Chamber of Com
merce. The union nlso adopted a resolution
urging Councils to pass, with all haste,
the proposed 111,700,000 loan. This, the
labor organization contends, trill afj In
maintaining the business prosperity of
the city.
It was pointed out that the city,
to maintain or Increase Its activity
In tho trado world, must spend large
sums of money In order to Introduce
goods manufactured here to merchants In
other countries. The money, If raised,
will be distributed equally between the
two organizations for the purpose of
sending colvoys to foreign countries. If
the funds are obtained a vigorous cam
paign will be launched to advortlse this
city In all sections of the world.
A notice from the national headquar
ters of the American Federation of Labor
was read during the meeting, urging the
various bodies affiliated with the central
body to choose delegates to represent
them at the national convention of labor
organizations to be held In Horticultural
Hall for two weeks, beginning Novom
ber 9.
Reports were read showing that the
movement to unlonlzo Philadelphia by
the Labor Forward Commltteo had
proved very successful. This Is the only
city In the country that did not have a
falling off In membership during tho past
year. It Is expected that 60.000 men wilt
afnilate themselves with labor organiza
tions In Philadelphia before tho conven
ing of tho national convention Mass
meetings of teamsters, barbers and bar
tenders wero held In various sectloni of
i - t"c'iv for that purpose.
TWO-CENT POSTAGE TO AID
SOUTH AMERICA TRADE
Congress Leaders Advocate Reduction
of Present Rata on Mails.
WASHINGTON, Sept. .-As a further
stimulus to the commerce between the
United States and South America, It Is

cialize In postal mattersv that steps be
taken to obtain a 2-ccnt postage rato to
those countries that will consent to
an arrangement of this chnracter. It
requires nt prcsont a B-ccnt stamp to
carry a letter to South America, and the
argument It being presented that It would
bo a long strldo toward a closer commer
cial relationship If that part of tho world
could bo placed on tho same basis with
respect to mall charges as Is now enjoyed
by Englnnd, Germany, Canada, Mexico
and Panama.
Representative James T, Lloyd, of Mis
souri, for many years a member of tha
House l'ostolTlce Commltteo and a close
student of postal affairs, today said that
there was a general sentiment nmong
members of tho House nnd Senate In fa
vor of this proposed reduced postage.
Tho change would Involve a series of
postal treaties to be negotiated between
the United States and each of tho coun
tries which are willing to enter Into the
new nrrangement. These treaties would
bo mado In behalf of tho United States
by the Postmaster General and would Im

York Prisons Reports Decrease.
ALBANY, Sept. 18.-That there Is com
paratively llttlo smuggling of drugs and
other contraband art class being carried
on In tho various state prisons at tho
present time la tho conclusion reached by
a special committee of tho Scnato Com
missions which has been Investigating the
drug traffic In Sing Sing, Clinton, Auburn
and Great Meadow prisons.
The commltteo attributes tho falling off
In the trafflo to recent Investigations,
publicity and to special caro exercised by
tho prison officials.
Tho report concludes by declaring that
"there Is no reason why the smuggling of
drugs Into a prison should not bo stopped,
except In rare Instances. The question Is
ono of efficient administration."
WARANDCANAL1DPRN
AUSTRALIA'S jftOE GATES
Foreign Commerce ExperU Sees Op
portunlty for tho TJnltLu States.
The coincidence of tho Avar and tha
opening of tho Panama Canal gives tha
United States a chance to double Its
trade with Australia and New Zealand,
according to Dr. Albert A. Snowdon, for
eign trado commissioner for tho National
Association of Manufacturers. Tho na
tions of Germany, Franco, Austria, Bel
glum, Italy, Holland and Switzerland,
which In 1913 supplied Australia with
goods worth (67,447,600 and New Zealand
with goods worth tf.4S9.030, are practi
cally prevented by mobilizations or actual
military operations from producing com
modities for export
Doctor Snowdcn says that tho United
Btates can nil prnctlcally all of Aus
tralia's standing ordor at an acceptablo
price. United States exports to Australia
and Now Zealand In 1912 amounted to
164,069,000. Ho docs not think that In tho
expansion movement Great Britain need
bo fearod. Tho mother country has al
ways stood first on the colony's books,
but British factories In wartime, ho be
lieves, will havo all thoy can do to keep
that position.
