I The effort to recommit was decided Upon
Jihls mornlnir, at a meeting of the maim-
t.Jurera' Inbhv The purpose of this
ilnnve is to test the strength of the manu-
facturers in ' nit. intiJiuinuij ui u
titter fight to have the bill amended on
the floor of that chamber. If enough
Ata ran he mustered to recommit the
Hill the manufacturers feel that they
'ill have enough to amend the measure

k senator Crow was expected to arrive

tear, and the plans of the manufacturers
ire belrrs" held up until he comes to Har.
rliburg He telegraphed from Cnlontown
' today that he will come here tonight.
That the Governor already has won his
fight, however, to havo the bill passed In
Its original form appears certain, In view
tt the fact that the measure, was reported
out last night, unamended, and the
further fact that Senator Crow, who,
irlth Senator Snvder, chairman of the
."plckllns" committee, has been leading
'th fight for the manufacturers, was ab
,nnt when the unparalleled action oc
Lcurred In the Senate last night.
The battle over reporting the measure
'out was fought on the floor of the Senate,
while that body was In session, and con
tinued all during the evening,
REFUSES TO CALL COMMITTEE
Senator Snyder, early In the evening,
refuted to call a meeting of the com
mittee that had been scheduled for last
, tUht. He gave as his reason the fact
'that Senator Crow, who Is a member of
the committee, was absent Senator Crow
"telegraphed from Unlontown oarly in the
"afternoon that he could not arrive In
iHarrlsburg until today Senator Snyder
targued that to call a meeting of the com
Jnlttee would be a breach of courtesy.
v. Senator McNIchol, who had pledged his
fiupport of the bill to Governor Brum-
Jbaugh, argued with lilm Senator Snyder
Jiras obdurate Senator Vare. who Is not
U member of the committee, camo to tho
.assistance of Senator McNIchol, but both
the Philadelphia leaders were unable to
force Senator Snyder to cull the meeting.
Senator McN'ichol then wrote a personal
request for the meeting, and secured for
It signatures of 9 of the 16 members.
Tho members that signed the demand for
the meeting were Senators McN'ichol,
Dili, Mills, Mooie, Thompson, Lynch,
Gerberlch, Fatten and Smith. The "Old
, Guard" Democtatic members, who usually
run along wit 11 tne 1'lilladelplila leaders.
i refused to sign, although methods of per
suasion verging on the "third degree"
!,trere used.
PHONE CONFERENCE WITH CROW.
J1 Repeated conferences between Senators
sMcNIchol, Vare and Snyder followed.
Senator Snyder still refused to call the
fiiieetlng, and repeatedly telephoned to
Pfenator Crow The Fayette Senator final-
Ij agreed to have the committee meet
Hnd to have the bill reported out without
amendment The meeting of the com-
lelttee was then called. It continued for
la hour and at the end of that time,
Senator Snyder himself renorted the hill.
When he did so. however, he KonnrlpH thn
Ijkemote of the manufacturers' plans.
p "At this time," he said, "I arrf report
Slug out the child labor bill, as committed."
IfThe Senators leading the fight for tho
, bill In the form In which It passed the
House denied today that any agreement
ws reached to have the bill sent back to
committee when Senator Crow is present
to help Senator Snyder fight for the
uuendments desired by the manufacturers.
Unn the basis of these assertions, the
manufacturers' lobby, headed by Joseph
R. Grundy, today decided upon the ef
liort to recommit. Senator Snyder bore
jout the fact tnat no agreement to recom
mit has already been reached, when today
M began counting probable votes for
iuch a motion.

ture here today are smiling bravely and

of Philadelphia nnd vicinity are attending
a. public hearing on tho Gerberlch pound
bill by the Health and Sanitation Com
mittee of the Senate In Ilarrlsburg- to

In a pound for more than 43 hours to be
sold to medical schools for experimental
pui poses.
Arno P. Mowitz, a Philadelphia attor
ney, headed the antl-vivlsectlonlsts and
made the principal argument against tho
Gerberlch bill. Among tho speakers were
Miss Kathorlne S. Nicholson, a director
of the Women's Pennsylvania Society for

Mrs. T F. Halvey. Mrs. M. F. Lovell
and Mrs. M K. Vnndoirrirt mi e ,u.

of the Humane Society, of York, Pa.
They declared that the Gerberlch bill,
besides virtually recognizing vivisection,
will In effect take away from the W. S.
P. C. A. and the humane societies of tho
?u, ,thr. c,Jstody of the dog pounds. In
Philadelphia the W. S P. C A. has had
charge of the pound for the last 43 jears

Fourteen months ago Owen Letter's Sons bought two Autocar two-ton
Coal Cars. They now own SIX. This is what Mr. Letter says about them:
T i ,Those first Autocars were a lesson to me in coal delivery. At the time,
I had two big trucks of other makes, of three tons capacity. The Autocars
went so far ahead of them in territory covered and economy that I sold the
big trucks and bought more Autocars. I now have six, and expect to buy
more until all my long hauls are by Autocar. My territory has been extended
in e.very direction, my trade has been greatly increased and I do not hesitate
to say Autocars are responsible."

Sylmai Olive
of comsel
Salads are never so good
as in the early Spring.
Things are so crisp and
fresh. And the crowning
glory of the salad is Syl
mar, the purest of olive
oils. The first pressing of
sun-kissed California olives
its delicate amber tint
tells you that. "The highest
priced olive oil in the
world" that's what we
call it. Try Sylmar and see
if you do not find it "the
finest olive oil in the world."

Many a Man's
long-sought Suit
Haven
It is the crowning com
fort to all our trying to see
men come in here and get
initiated into what to them
arc thc mysteries of our
" short - regular " Suits;
" short - stout ' S u i t s j
"longs"; "extra-fats"; etc.
Heretofore such men -were
allowed to buy nay,
had to buy, the clothes
that suited the seller just
"regular" sizes that never
conformed to the propor
tions of their wearers.
The waist-line of the
coat never hit the waist
line of the man; the collar
climbed up his neck or
pouted back reluctant
from close and friendly
contact.
Were a man of goodly
proportions, the coat was
simply a sack with neither
shape nor make to it.
So such a man had to be
content until we worked,
out our in-between sizes.
There's one waiting
here for you Suit-sizes
that fit to a fraction men
who never got satisfac
tion, even from the finest
merchant tailors! $15,
$18, $20, $25 the Suit.
