Mighty Central Organization
to Boom Philadelphia's
Commercial Interests May
Result From Dinner.
The plan to merge the leading trade
and business bodies of this city Into ono
mighty central organization, as originally
advanced by Alba D. Johnson, president
of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, may bo
carried out as a result of tho Now Phila
delphia Dinner at tho Manufacturers'
Club, on February 0. At this meeting BOO
of Philadelphia's leading manufacturers,
business men and financiers formally will
launch a movement to advance the city's
commercial Interests.
Tho unification of the trado bodies
probably will follow as ono of the steps
In the campaign to bring Philadelphia
before the world ns tho "world'B great
est workshop." In view of the wide
scope of the movement. It Is believed
that a consolidation of Interests will bo
most effective.
Ernest T. Trigg, chairman of tho com
mittee arranging tho dinner, has called
a special meeting of that body for to
morrow t6 dotcrmino the form of Invita
tions that will be Issued.
Charles W. Summerflold, secretary of
tho Merchants and Manufacturers' Asso
ciation, explained today that one of tho
alms of tho movemont will bo to havo
goods made In Philadelphia sold from
Philadelphia Instead of other cities. Phila
delphia prqducts, he pointed out, while
they aro known all over tho world, un
fortunately are not known as the products
of Philadelphia,
"It seems very regretable," Mr. Bum
merfleld added, "that so many wares
made here aro marketed from other cities.
Some arrangement must bo made to sell
tho products of this city to tho dis
tributors nt first hand right here In Phila
delphia for shipment direct. At tho pres
ent tlmo New York sales agents handle
a great quantity of our goods."
"This movement for exploiting our In
dustrial pre-eminence," he said, "not only
should display Philadelphia as the
'world's greatest workshop,' but it should
strive to focus tho attention of the
world as well on Philadelphia as a mar
ket. "Philadelphia's ability to take com
plete advantage of Its opportunities re
sulting from llnanclal. Industrial and com
mercial power," Mr. Summerfleld con
cluded, "is not thoroughly understood or
appreciated even by our own people. We
should be more outspoken ln praise of
our greatness. Then not only our own
people, but the outside world as well
will begin to realize what Philadelphia
can do and what we stand for,"
Acceptances from men Invited to speak
at the dinner continue to arrive, and the
following names have been added to the
list; William L. Turner, vice-president
Quaker Lace Company, and David
Klrschbaum, president A. B. Klrschbaum
Company.
WARNS AGAINST PNEUMONIA
Director Zlegler, of the Department of
Public Health and Charities, In his weekly
bulletin Issued today warns the public to
be on guard against penumonla, which
claimed 3060 victims In this city during
19H.
Bad ventilation and not cold enables
tho disease to thrive, according to the
Health Director, who advises fresh air In
unlimited doses. Overeating, he points
out, Is also a contributing factor towards
making the body a nesting place for pneu
monia germs, and while open wlndowa are
urged for sleepers at night, draughts are
warned against In the bulletin.
NEW XOltK, Jan. 25. Experts In In
ternational law who are familiar with
the attempts of the American copper In
terests to obtain from Great Britain tho
release of more than $5,000,000 worth of
American copper now Interned at various
European ports by the British Admiralty,
believe that a crisis Is rapidly approach
ing, and that the long controversy must
soon be settled. John Uassclt Moore,
formerly counselor to the Department of
State, the foremost American authority
on International and admiralty law, has
been retained by flvo of the largest cop
per companies to push a series of
charges now before thn State Depart
ment thnt Great Britain Is deliberately
throttling tho American copper Industry,
which, the companies say, amounts to
more than J107.CO0.000 a year.
The companies participating In the no
tlon aro the American Smelting and Re
fining Company. The United Motnls Sell
Ing Company, Tho American Metal Com
pany, L. Vogelsteln & Co., and The Nor
folk Smelting and Kenning Company
They have drawn up a scries of 14 specific
charges which set forth:
31 SHIPMENTS SEIZED.
First. Since tho outbreak of the war and
until the first of tho year, 31 shipments
of American copper consigned to neutral
Continental ports of Europe, amountiiiB
to 19,359 tons nnd vnlued at to,500,000, have
been seized by Great Britain, 0300 tons be
ing held at Gibraltar. The rest wns In
tended for Holland nnd tho Scandinavian
ports.
Second. American owners consented to
sell and did sell the British Government
four small lots of copper at a loss of
JS0.000 because of forced sale.
Third. That-ln the face of many pro
tests, Secretary Bryan has not obtained
tho release of a vessel.
Fourth. In every case the Stato De
partment has been supplied with full
data. I
Fifth. America annually exports 316,000
tons of copper, at a value of HOi.SSO.OOO,
and the British Admiralty will permit
shipments to the neutral countries only
through a British agent.
Sixth. That the regulations Imposed by
tho British Government have enabled a
small group of British agents to dominate
all America's foreign copper markets ana
that this group la levying a toll of 1 per
cent, on every ton exported irom tnis
country
Seventh. Through complying with the
res-ulattons of the British Government,
exporters are unable to ship copper to
neutrals, although those Governments
have prohibited the re-exportation of the
metal.
Eighth. Shipments of copper, fit only
for being converted Into copper sulphate
for spraying grapo vines, have not been
allowed to reach Italy, though shipped
direct to that countri.
Ninth. This material Is permitted to
move freely. If British agents aro per
mitted to handle it
Tenth. British agents are taking a toll
of J1.10 a ton on all copper embargoed by
Great Britain.
UNITED STATES COPPER INDUSTRY
HARD HIT.
Eleventh. Tho copper production In this
country has been reduced by 30 per cent.,
and more than a million persons have
been thereby seriously affected, many
being deprived of a means of livelihood.
Twelfth. That tho contention by Great
Britain that the Increased shipments of
American copper to neutral countries
since the outbreak of the war means that
Germany is getting this copper. Is based
on the flimsiest reasons, but thnt the
fact Is that the neutral countries aro
using this copper to manufacture articles
formerly made only In Germany.
Thirteen. That Great Britain Is permit
ting large shipments of her own coal to
these same neutrals and that cool Is con
traband. Fourteen. That the result of the Ad
miralty regulations has been to make
cargo bottom rates prohibitive and to
reduce the trade In non-contraband
metals between American ports and
Sweden.
Senator Walsh, of Montana the sec
ond largest State In point of copper pro
duction In a speech In the Senate, when
referring to the same question, declared
that Premier Asqulth In Parliament No
vember 17 last expressed the opinion that
tho Increase In the exports of coal from
Great Britain to Scandinavian countries
was not so much due, and Indeed was
"not due at all," to their "being ultimately
destined to Germany as to the fact that
these countries were deprived for the
time being of the supplies they have been
accustomed to receive from the enemy
country."

NEW JERSEY COMMUTERS
WILL APPEAL TO U. S. BOARD
Hearing: on Application to Set Aside
Increases Sought Thfs Week.
New Jersey commuters will make nn
appeal to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission this week for a hearing on an
application to set aside the Increased
commutation rates between points In
New Jersey and Philadelphia. The rates
became effective December i5, In accord
ance with the tariffs (lied with the Inter
state Commerce Commission, but were
nover passed Upon by that body ns to
their reasonableness.
As tho New Jersey Public Utilities
Commission ordered the Intrastate In
creases suspended pending a formal hear
ing before It, the New Jersey commuters,
while they am still nblc to buy tick
ets to Camden at the old rates, are
charged considerably moro for tickets to
Philadelphia. As the trains nt Camden
go directly to the train shed the com
muters find there Is no need to pay tho
additional fare, for they can como to
this city without oven pnylng the three
cent ferry fare.
At fne hearing before tho New Jersey
commission Inst week R. J. De Long, of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, declared that
under this practice both tho Pennsyl
vania Railroad and the commuters, who
rldo free to Philadelphia, are guilty of
violating tho law. It la to settlo this
point that tho Interstate Commerce
commission will bo nsked to Intervene.
