Although dtlalled reports of the char
acter of the exports for the last month
are not available. It Is assumed thnt tho
greater portion consisted of foodstuffs
and war supplies. In the month of Sep
tember trade gains were due almost en
tirely to the sale of foodstuffs nnd war
supplies. Since then there has been a
marked Increase In the shipment of cot
ton nnd manufactured articles. There are
also Indications thnt trnde with countries
besides those Involved In the war Is In
creasing. Tho Increasing trade balance will go
far toward solving the International ox
change problem, which Is now under con
sideration by American bankers and
Treasury Department officials. The com
mercial tide, which has turned In favor
of the United Stntes, will materially re
duce the Indebtedness of this country to
Great Britain, and the present month be
gins under moro favorable circumstances
than did October. U Is also expected as
time goes on thnt tho demand for Ameri
can manufactured products of nil kinds
by countrlcH which formerly depended
upon European markets will Increase.
Record Wheat Export
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. According to
the statistics of the Bureau of Foreign
nnd Domestic Commerce tho value of
foodstuffs sold abroad In September was
$70,4S7,SSO, nearly double that of Septem
ber a year ago, when the totnl was
$3S,7S;)!10.
The war demand for wheat brought ox
ports for the three months ending with
September to the highest point ever
reached In any corresponding period.
Total exports. Including Hour in terms of
wheut. in the three months aggregated
$9,230,000 bushels, compared with 59,000,000
bushels In that period a year ago.
For September exports of flour were
about normnl, but the wheat sold abroad
was more than twice that exported during
the month. The wheat total was :0,00i,000
bushels. France bought 7,75:.0 bushels,
the United Kingdom 0,WI,000 bushels, the
Netherlands 2.S01.O0O bushels, while other
European nations bought B.M0.O00 bushels.
More than 2,."G0,0O0 bushels were ex
ported to Cannda, while another effect
of war was the shipment of 550,000 bushels
to Brazil. Exports of Hour to Latin
America nearly doubled those of Sep
tember one year ago.
Exports of fresh beef In September
amounted to 7,000,UX pounds, 11 tlmc3 that
sent abroad In September, 1913. The 3.000,
000 pounds of canned beef exported was
eight limes the amount sold in September
last year.
Tho increase in refined sugar exports
was tremendous In September, ri2,2OO,0O0
pounds being shipped abroad, compared
with 3,921,510 one jear ago.
Seth Low Optimistic
NEW YORK, Nov. 2. In a statement
to tho World, Seth Low, president of the
New York Chamber of Commerce, says:
"It Is quite clear that very marked
Improvement has taken place In the
business situation since the 1st of Au
gust. Foreign exchange Is almost normal
and the exports of the country are rapidly
assuming a volume that will help to
keep it so.
"The cotton problem appears to lie
well In hand, so that we may reason
ably look for a decisive Improvement In
conditions as they affect that staple.
"The fact that the banks of New York
have regained their legal reserve nnd
nre paying off the clearing house oerll
cates and have begun to redeem the
emergency currency Is another important
factor In the general Improvements. Tho
opening of the Federal reserve banks
November IB promises still further to
improve the situation.
"All of these things spell a marked Im
provement, and they ought to awaken
new courage."
Bright Outlook in "West
Henry T. Scott, who was president o
the Union Iron Works of San Francisco
when that concern built the Olympla and
the Oregon, and who Is a director of the
Panama-Pacific Exposition, sees a great
deal of hopefulness in the business out
look generally.
Notwithstanding big failures on the
Pacific Coast before tho war, involving
many millions of dollars, and tho fact
that the English are not buying Califor
nia apples aa usual, Mr. Scott says the
situation is very good out there, and he
asserts that when the Panama-Pacific
Exposition opens on February 20 it will
not owe a dollar. He looks for a big ("
tendance from all over the United States,
arguing that thousands of persona who
might have gone to Europe will maKe the
transcontinental trip Instead.
"AH our crops on tho coast wheat, bar
ley, fruits, and, I may add, salmon, for
salmon Is a regular 'crop' with us, are,
or have, been excellent," said Mr. Scott
at the Rltz-Carlton yesterday. "The onlv
line in which we have been hit is the
apple crop.
"That crop was good magnificent. In
fact. But you see, our apple crop has
practically all been going to England.
'I hat may strike you as odd, but it Is a
fact that of the apples grown In die Del
Monte district, which I think must
amount to something In the neighborhood
of SOOO carloads, all have been taken by
England in the past and 1C you went
down there and tried to buy a box. It
would have been Impossible. How far
the regular shipments have been going
off I don't know.
Pine Prospects for Ponama Pair
"Out our way we had had very bad
conditions before the war came on. There
was the 'Borax' Smith failure, and then
there was the Oakland Railway business,
which had to go into the hands of a
committee. The Northern Electric Rail
road, the line from Sacramento to Marys
ville, got Into trouble, and the Natoma
concern, a gold-dredging and land-reclamation
project- In all, the losses probably
totaled some w,iw,w.
"However, the crops have been so good
that the country itself la In good con
dition, and the fair U going to opea un
der the best of auspices. It would not
surprise me if the attendance would be
bigger than It would have been but for

IN THE MIDDLE WEST
CLEVELAND, Nov. 2. Morris A.
Block, president of the Chamber of Com
merce, says:
"While business does not reach the high
mark of the preceding two years, tho
general condition In many, It not most,
lines, 1 believe, docs not vary greatly
from tho average of the last llvo years.
Of course, we are partlculaily strong
In Iron and steel manufacture, and of
course this trade Is very quiet. How
ever, there are several other Industries
which aro running at full capacity, and
not entirely on orders due to war con
ditions. 11 is my Judgment that we nre nt tho
low ebb, nnd that all conditions point
to an early and steady Improvement,
but not a boom."
COLUMDUS, O., Nov. 2. "Business
conditions uro fair," said President Sey
mour, of tho Chamber of Commerce.
"Building operations this fall eiiual last
car's, llctnlt merchants report good
trade.
"Prospects for fall and winter sales
nre good. Wholesalers and Jobbers report
decrease In business of 15 per cent, with
collections only fair and prospects not
encouraging. Manufacturers nre doing
only halt of usual volume of business,
with tho exception of n few supplying
demands created by the war.
"Steel and Iron manufacturers are run
ning only CO per cent, of their capacity,
duo to lack of buying power of rail
roads." ST. LOUIS, Nov.lTl-Condltloiis are not
much ''hnngt-d, but sentiment decidedly
better, The cotton pool loan plan Is ex
pected to glvo considerable relief.
"All lines of business feel thnt It will
be only n short time until there Is a

Halt, president of the Merchants' Ex
change, "linnklng fnellltles arc ample
and nil legitimate borrowers aro being
protected. Some good orders for war sup
plies for the belligerents nre being placed,

"The great usefulness of the modern

conditions in Iowa are nut only good,
but steadily Improving. The crops have
been exceptionally good; estimates placed
their value at $,"0,000,000 In excess of n
year ago, an average Increase of over J1S
per capita of population.
The'e Is a strong demand for grain at

thnt the railroad movement Is heavier

are good In Lowell at present, says It. F.
Maiden, president of the Board of Trade.
The textile mills of tho city nre work

operatives nt work nnd no effects from
lack of dyestuffs noted yet; but unless

enough to pny large dividends. Ammuni

HARTFORD, Nov. 2. Business condi
tions In Hartford aro very much nearer
normal today than at any time for many
months past. Several factories thnt were
formerly working short time are now
tunning full time, and some are working
nights.
The return of business has not yet ex
tended to all Industries, and there nro
still many unemployed, but a growing
feeling of optimism Is replacing the for
mer feeling of depression, and appear
ances Indicate that tho lowest level of
depression hns been passed and the curve
of business Is growing stendlly upward.
PORTLAND, Me., Nov. 2. Maurice C.
Rich, secretary of tho Board of Trade,
says:
"Malno comes through with the largest
and best agricultural crop In history, es
pecially potatoes, apples and wheat.
Portland wholesale trnde is showing an
improvement over preceding years, but
retail business la not above normal.
'It Is predicted that Portland's export
business will exceed last year's, especially
In foodstuffs. No factories have closed
down. A return of optimism Is apparent
In all lines of trade."
ENCORAGEMENT PROM SOUTH
RICHMOND, Nov. 2. In spite of tho
cotton slump, reports from nil parts uf

this Is best index to general business.
Some manufacturers are complaining, hut
harness and tobacco manufacturers are
busy, lth unfilled orders.
The Jobbing trade U only fair, due to
slow collections from cotton States.
Bright tobacco is bringing good prices
nnd Is being freely bought by English
companies and our own manufacturers.
Conditions through the bright tobacco
belt of Virginia and the L'arollnas are
about normal.
"The reall trade Is reported up to last

VARE WARDS, CRUX
OF PENROSE VOTE,
THREATEN REVOLT
Downtown Holds Balance
of Strength and Rum Is
Only Power That Can
Win for Its Champion.
All eyes are fixed today on South Phil
adelphia In search for signs of the
ttrctiqtli of tho rovolt ngalnst Penrose.
South Philadelphia. It Is admitted, will be
the final stage In the Penrose' fight for
re-election. There he will be beaten or
elected.
North of Mnrkt street and throughout
the whole State the Penrose candidacy
Is wen'k. Unless South Philadelphia votes
bolster the chances, politicians admit,
Penroso will be beaten.
Less than 21 hours before election there
Is ecry Indication thnt Vare followers
will knife Penrose, either leaving a blank
opposite the column for United States
Senator or marking their crosses for A.
Mitchell Palmer, the Democratic nomi
nee. The Vnrcs' disposition In the clos
ing hours, ns their followers understand
It, Is a desire to sec Penrose beaten, by
whom It does not matter.
For weeks revolt against Penrose has
been growing In the Vare wards. Vare
ward leaders speak of "supporting tho
cntlro Republican ticket." but their en
thusiasm for the men upon It wanes
when Penrose s mentioned. "We have
no orders to knife him," tho say.
"No." said a man close to the situa
tion, "they have no orders to knife hhn.
They need none. The Vnres' attitude tq
w.trd "Penrose bus been made plain.
Wlll(am S. Vare has challenged Penroso
to prove the truth of the charges against
him ' attributed to Penrose or to force
a retraction from the North American.
Do you think the Vare followers need
orders?"
I Itl-.M STRONGER THAN VARUS?"
I Penrose's only strength In South Phll-
jadelphla will come from the liquor men,
according to observations made In the
Vare wards. Those opposed to local op-
lion tor their pocketbook's sake will be
deaf to the antl-Peurose whispers, it was
seen. They can vote for Penrose with a
clear conscience, one man explained,' be
citukti nu orders are out and a vote for
him will not be disobeying them.
"Rum," said one man, "Is stronger than
the Vares." "Kven If explicit orders were
issued to knife Penrose, the saloon vote
in South Philadelphia would stand by
him. Standing by the Vares is alt right
until It comes to local option. If we are
asked to risk that by voting against Pen
iujo we let the Organization slide."
The latest exhibition of the Vare tern,
per toward Penrose occurred In the cir
cumstances surrounding the meeting Frl
day night In the Plaza Theatre, attended
by most of the lollowers of tho Vares.
The warning "Boles Penrose will be
mobbed If he shows himself In that
meeting" was responsible for the absence
of Senator Penrose from the South Phila
delphia rally, according to the story told
today among Vare followers. Since Fri
day, when Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh,
Senator Vare. Congrestman Var and
other Republicans spoke at the rally with
out mentioning the name of Penrose, poli
ticians outside South Philadelphia have
been puszled to account for the absence
of Penrose and the disregard shown for
his candidacy.
Out today comes the story that the
Vares deliberately snubbed Mm. Penrose,
It Is told, asked to be invited to the Vare
meetings. The request was flatly re
fused. Furthermore, an Interdlat&n was
placed upon all reference to aim in
tpeeebw. So the nesting went through
without the mstttioa of Penrose or sight
ef aim.
The Vares' nub will add impulse to te
movement for kulaog Penrose la South

day every person who has anything to
do with harboring alien women Imported
from foreign countries for Immoral pur
poses must report there whereabouts of
tho women to the Commissioner General
of Immlgiatlon, ns provided by the white

Decisions In other cases were handed
down as follows:
Dismissed suit of J. W. Clendcnlel, of
Georgetown, Del., In which he questions
the validity of a law passed by tho Dela

Order entered agreeing to review n de
rision of lower Federal courts which held
that a patent for ore concentration known

A British corporation known ns the Min

patent, the validity of which had been
sustnlnrd by the British Privy Council
nnd the House of Loids, although its
validity was questioned by United Stntes
courts. The question of Its validity wns
raised In litigation originating In Montana,

WOMEN SHOW CONCERN
IN TOMORROW'S VOTING
Convinced That Kesult Will Open the
Way to Equal Suffrage.
Convinced that there will not be many
more elections In Pennsylvania at which
the women will have to sit passively by
as more onlookers, Philadelphia suffra
gists nre eagerly awaiting tomorrow's
returns.
Although determined, one and all, to
maintain a diplomatic non-partisanship
and resolved to steer clenr of personali
ties In expressing their hopes In tegard
to the outcome as befits those who hnvo
not the vote, the suffragists, their friends
say, will be keenly disappointed If Pen
rose and his fellow candidates, support
ed by the liquor Interests, are the vic
tors. "One of tho things that we are most
anxious nbout In tomorrow's election,"
said Mrs. Frank Miles Day, an nctivo
member of tho Uqual Franchise Society
and also vice president of the Pennsyl
vania Child Labor Association, "li thnt
the men who are in favor of the cause
mnko certain that the candidates for
whom they vote are sincere In their
votes for women convlctloiiB.
"Although all of the five parties have
put suffrage planks in their platforms,
yet we feel that some of the men have
our Interests more nt heart than others.
And It Is these men. of course, that all
good suffragists are anxious to have
win."
"I om particularly Interested," said
Miss Caroline Kutzensteln, secretary of !
the Kijual Franchise Society, when she
was questioned concerning her attitude In
regal d to tomorrow's election, "In the
strenuous endeavor which Is being made
to overthrow bass rule, and I think the i
very difficulty which Is being encountered !
In ridding the State of boss rule and of
liquor domination Is pointing out to !
the obsennut voter Just how necessary '
a large Independent vote Is to nccom- j
pllsh this. The women, needless to wiy,
will supply that independent vote.
"It has been proved In the suffrage i
States In the West that this Is true, that
Is, that the women vote every time for
the man and tho principle rather than
for the party. Out In Illinois, the very
first time that women had a chance to
show just where they stood on the liquor
question, 1100 saloons were closed.
"You'll nlways find that the vicious in
terests are opposed to woman suffrage.
It shows that they are afraid of what
we are going to do to them when we get
the vote. I feet absolutely sure that In
1916 the Pennsylvania women will vote.
And when you get the mother point of
view In Pennsylvania politics you're go
ing to have clean politics. The men who '
represent the liquor Interests will never !
stand a chance then." ,
The .leadquarters or the Woman Suf
frage party, at 1TS3 Chestnut street, wilt
be kept open tomorrow night, and a
large delegation of suffragist uro plan
ning to watoh the returns come iu.
Throughout the day flying squadrons wilt
visit the polls and distribute suffrage
literature, "after the men have voted,
however." Mrs. H. G. Stewart, the sec
retary, is careful to explain, "We have
no Intention of trying to Influence the
men at the polls before they have cast
their ballots,"

PENROSE VICTORY
MEANS A CONTEST
Continued from I'nite One
never take his seat. Several have gone
so far as to say that the charges will
bo vastly easier lo provo than were those
ngalnst William Lorlmcrof Illinois, who
wns expelled from the Senate.
Backed by the most powerful political
organization this country has ever known,
aided by virtually the entire Old Guard
Democratic machine, tho stalwart ranks
of the liquor Democrats, number at least
60,000, nnd In an alliance with the national
nnd State liquor forces, the candidate
goes to tho polls with much tn his favor
from a political Rtnndpoliit.
Anntysls, howover, of the primary elec
tion nnd of the subsequent registration
figures present certnln aspects, which
glvo unbounded hope to the antl-llquor
forces nnd Independent Republicans, to
say nothing of the virtual panic caused
In Organisation ranks.
PK.VROSHS MAXIMUM STItKN'GTH.
In the pilmary election held on Mny ID,
Boles Penrose received 219,691 voles, rep
resenting vlrtunlly the maximum strength
of the Organization forces throughout the
State. His opponent, .T. Benjamin Dlm
mlck, of Scranton, received 111,286 votes,
rcpieseiitlng the Independent Republican
and nnll-Ponrosc vote. These figures,
luwever, as a ptccuraor of the final elec
tion, are virtually worthless, duo lo tho
fact that the subsequent registration has
been larger thnn the complete primary
Republican vote.
According to the figures made public
by the Republican Stnte Committee, the
present Republican registration Is 718,119,
as ngnlnst 330.833 for tho Democints and
7J,16S for tho Washington party. In place
of a total primary Republican vote 330.-
9T7 now stands the 718,119 llgurc, showing
that 387,112 Republicans have enroled since
May.
In other words, more Republicans have
signified tlielr Intention of voting subse
quent to the prlmnrj than voted on Mny
19. While It Is known that the Organiza
tion throughout the Stnte has made every
po'slblc effort to get out nn enormous
additional enrolment, the nntl-Pcnroco
leaders nre more than optimistic over the
possibility of this great unknown vote be
ing thrown ngnlnst Penrose. Believing
that the organization brought out overy
possible voter to mnko a favorable show
ing for Penrose In the primary nnd that
the Dlmmlck vote will be divided between
A. Mitchell Palmer nnd Glfford Pltichor.
the Democratic and Washington party ad
herents now claim a victory. Virtually
the entire Old Guard Democratic vote,
which was enst for Henry Budd In thti
primary, Is conceded to Penrose. His vote
wns 70,913.
It Is doubtful whether a candidate over
asked for the suffrage of the people under
a greater cloud than Boles Penrose. In
the fnee of the most damaging attacks, he
has retained a stolen! silence. Charged
with being a cnrruptlonlst, n debnuchcr, u
b'-troyer of friends, with being tho bene
ficiary of a $1,000,000 "slush fund." nnd
linked with the Democrats, Penro'o has
chosen silence rather than repudiating
tho evidence offered ngalnst him. This,
of course, declare his opponents for of
fice, Is nn admission of guilt.
EVADKS SERIOUS CHARGES.
Throughout the campaign Penroso has
discussed but one Issue the tariff. In the
primary campaign he declared there were
only two Issues In, tho State tho Mexi
can situation nnd the tariff. Not pneo
has he answered the challenge of Palmer
that the real Issue Is Penroelsm.
While the candidate has refused to dis
cuss the charges made against him. they
will be presented to the United StatoB
Senate should be be elected. The Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections his
decided thnt an Investigation of the prl
marv election should be held. This will
Immediately follow a Penrose victory.
The following aro the chnrges made In
the cumpnlgn agninst the candidate,
which he has refused to deny:
That a M.OT0.0O0 "slush fund" has been
raised to elect him. This has been
secured by assessing saloonkeepers,
wholesalers, brewers nnd distillers.
That hundred of thousands of dollars
have been raised and expended In his
helinlf bv such organizations as the Penn
sylvania Protective Union and the j
"Finance Committee." of Pittsburgh
Thnt he has been aided In tho cnmpnlgn
by tho Old Guard Democrats, notnbly
such men as James P. Mulvllhlll. liquor
Democratic boss of western Pennsylvania.
That he confessed to ertttors or tne
North American that he was one of the I
three men who debauched former Mayor '
Reyburn. .
That he betrayed his friends, the Varc3.
by Informing the Noith American that ,
Representative William S. Vare handed .
$3000 In cash to Mayor Reyburn. .
That he hns been the beneficiary of
the registration In Fayette County, the ,
baillwlik of State Republican Chairman I

BOY SCODT ARMY
ROUSES PATRIOTISM
OF YOUNG HEARTS
Schoolboys Thrilled With
Wonder at -Performance
of Lads in Khaki, Rough
and Ready.
What an army of tittle experts the Boy
Scouts arc, anyway! If you saw them
out nt the Ball Park Saturday afternoon,
you won't think of asking "Why?" Like
Indtistilous llttlo brown-clad nnts. 2300 of
them, perfectly disciplined, perfectly
trained, dotted the Held here, there and
everywhere performing their various
"stunts," and tho hearts df 2300 mothers
thrilled with pride as they did It. Here
Is one uniform that nny boy may doit
without causing his mothqr'a heart to
twinge with grief.
And among the thousands' Of schoolboys
who assembled In tho g.illnrics to watch
tho field-day exercises was there n single
ono who did not envy the scouts on the
field nnd who did not make the secret
resolution thnt not another year should
pass beforo he, too, should be stalking
around with military trend, an army
slouch hat fixed rnklshty on one car, his
iii.iiii lurm encasea in a snug-iitiing ,-
khnkl suit? Ai I
"Hey, mister," said one llttlo chap, who
could not have been more than 6, "how
much does It cost for a fellow to Join tho
Boy Scouts?"
And the "mister" so addressed, who was
none other than nn ordoily Intent on the
business of the dny, halted In his tracks
to answer tho question.
"Well, sonny," ho said, "the dues aren't
much. Any boy could make those, about
23 or CO cents a year. I should say. It's
tno uniform thnt costs the most, $1 nnd
something Is tho price."
Tho little fellow sat down, and, chin !n
hand, constituted a ways nnd menns com
mittee nil by himself, nnd pondered Just
how ho was going to get that $1 and
mysterious something which It Is neces
sary to have In order to belong to the
grand nnd glorious ordor of Boy Scouts.
Meanwhile the events of the day were
on. A band composed . of scouts, of all
sizes, all the way from the little tacker.
knee high to a grasshopper, who wielded
the baton, up to tho man-sized scout who
carried the drum, struck up the "Star
Spangled Banner." while a battalion of
scouts over nt a fur end of tho field
slowly hauled Old Glory Into the autumn
sky.
It W!h what tho uovoltlsts call a hi?
moment. The most cynical, the most
patriotic, even the most rheumatic on
looker, got to his feet. There was no
resisting the magnet of the Stars and
Stripes being raised by Boy Scout hands
to the tunc of Boy Scout music.
WHAT THE BOYS CAN DO.
But raising the flag and playing the
band nre but two of the many things In
tho long category of a Boy Scout's ac
complishments. In fact, after a few
hour spent nt the fourth annual Meld
dny exercises, one Is apt to wonder If
thero Is nnythlng really useful thnt they
cannot do. They enn chop a log of yel
low pine In ns clean ns a whistle In les
time thnn It takes to say Jack Robinson:
they can hulld a signal tower high Into
the air in tho twinkling of an eye, nnd
without so much ns uttering a word they
can communicate tho most complicated
messages by the mere waving of n few
lings, which constitutes what tho initiated
call tho semaphore code.
They can move a whole ennm, pitched
tents nnd nil, across streams and over
hillocks, with n speed and facility that
wouici put me Herman arlny and Its .1
much vaunted efficiency to shame. They Jll
can Joust and till ultli each uflier frnm 1
the tops of barrels with a sjcllt that
makes the tournament of Ivanhoe and
Brian do Bola Gullbert look tame by
comparison. They know not only how to
taki: care of themselves, but equally well
how to take care of the other fellow In
every emergency, bo ho wounded on the
hnttlcfleld or suffocated In a burning
house.
TRAINED FOR PEACE, BUT
All of their training has been along the
Hnc3 of peace nnd yet. If It is true, as tho
redoubtable Colonel would have us be
lieve, that two foreign nations have laid
plans to attack several of ouV large
cities nnd think that they can do It suc
cessfully because of our Insufficient army,
what n rude awakening they will have.
All that Uncle Sam would have to do.
Judging from Saturday's Held day exer
cltos, would be to fortify tho city with
tho Philadelphia Boy Scouts, each and
every unu with the motto "bo prepared
on his sleeve, and then he could proceed
leisurely about the business of mobilizing
his army.
At least that Is what tho spectators at
the ball park thought.
NORTHEAST LABOR FORCES
LINE UP AGAINST PENROSE
Voters in Kensington to Resent Their
Betrayal at Hrtrrisburg,
Kensington's labor voters are lining up
a-alnst the Penrose-JIcNIchol forces be
cause of their record on the question of
working men's compensation, and Indlca
tioim aro that even old-time Republicans
In the Northeast are preparing to knife
Penrose.
A statement made today by Frank Mc
CuKkor, a hosiery knitters' union leader,
fellows:
"Pcnioeism and all It Implies Is soon to
faci the test for the betrayal of tabor
ut HnrrUburg. If the worklngmeii do
tlielr duty when they cast their votes
wii will see written Into the law a work
men's compensation act as advantageous
ns that the Massachusetts workingmen
now enjoy. The tricksters have much to
fear from the voters of Kensington."
The consensus of opinion among labor
leaders In the district Is that the cnthusl
am of Senator McNlchol for compema
t'on came too late to Impress the work
men with its sincerity.
"Labor was grossly betrayed by the
gang politicians In the last Legislature '
said Arthur McDoiuioll, president df tlie
djers' and mercerlzers' union, "The re
sult was untold hardship Inflicted on
workmen Injured In the Industries of the
State. Back of the hetruyal Is the"7hand
of Penroec.
"His system must be wrctked. " I be
lieve he has shot hU bolt, lq one of the
d mills we recently took a poll of Uio
70 employes. Only one man vofed for
Plroe. That Is a good example, of the
sentiment abroad In Kensington gecauae
of the killing of the workmen'! corji

hnd hie adherents."
