forces of tho United States proceeding to

. -, where they camped last night
?ho advance was resisted vigorously by
the enemy and every foot of ground
along tho road between iho two towns

Such might bo ono way of telling the
itnry. but elnco tho rules of tho war now
being wnged by tho I'lnttsburg Hookies
In connection with forces of tho regular

Important part of the month's training
100 rhlladelphlans are getting at tho

In connection with the annual extensive
maneuvers of the regular troops. The
mpposltlon Is that a Kuropcan power
known ns tho "Itcds" dcclatcd war
against tho United States on August 26
and Immediately ordered concentration of
forces nt Albany, N. Y. In order to pre
vent this concentration the United States
Is also mobilizing at Albany and push
ing out troops from time to time to check
tho enemy's advance from tho Canadian
torder.
Tho enemy forces are 2000 regulars. The
UW citizen soldiers aro a provisional
regiment of the defending troops or
"Blues."
After breaking camp early Friday
morning the Ulue forco marched six
miles to Bcckmantown without opposl
t'on. Tho next day tho "rookies" pro
ceeded 11 miles to Chasey and fought
nioiit of the way.
Yesterday Coopcrvlllo was reached by
n march of Ave miles from Chasey, with
righting of the same character us that
of tho day before.
Tho lUuos, however, suffered a severo
reverse when the advance patrol let a
machine gun on a motor truck get by
them Before they could get off the
road the ropld-flro machine had dono
tremendous damage, according to tho
umpires.
In the three days tho recruits have
covered approximately 20 miles of road.
The fighting on the way about doubles
thai distance. Twenty miles In three
days may not seem much for an average
man, but tho RO-pound pack considerably
alters the situation. In addition, a quar
ter of a mile through marsh land at
doublo time amounts to about five miles
r on a city street.
Soro feet is the prevailing malady.
Twice a day, at hospital calls, scores of
men assemble around the big Itcd Cross
motor ambulance to get treatment for
weary feet. But even that difficulty Is
not as great as the camp doctors antici
pated. Domestic Liner Being Laden

Too much rest ts worse for any ono
than too much work, according to Luke
Meltzer. lie declares that all of us are
foo eager to hunt for soft seats and
dream Instead of doing something In the
energetic line which will benefit the body
and mind.
Luke delivered these suggestions while
hanging from an awning near Front street
and Glrard avenue to show that he prac
ticed what ho preached. To the delight
of a bunch of youngsters, he "skinned the
cat," pulled himself up to his chin, did
v
mvm
tho "giant swing" and made himself a
human plnwheel by flying around the top
of the awning pole at a rapid rate.
Between stunts he lectured on the ben
efit of exercise and declared that every
bum In the world ought to be put tn Jail
and kept there.
"That's right!" safd a voice in the
crowd. It belonged to Policeman Balkie.
He grabbed Luke, by the feet and pulled
him to the ground, Tho cop told the
audience that Luke never did any work
but open-air athletics.
"Good morning, JAike." greeted Mag
istrate Scott at tlie Front and Master
Hreets station; "have you gone to work

"I was Just telling the people that there
were too many bums tn the world," satd
the prisoner, "when tha cop pinched me."
"I agree with the policeman," said the
Judge, 'for no one has known you to

TWO TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION FOR FRANKFORD ELEVATED

TWO CONSTRUCTION
TYPES FOR THE "L"
LINE IN NORTHEAST
Plans Now Completed for Steel
Superstructure, and Bids Will
Bo Advertised for at an
Early Date
MONEY NOW AVAILABLE
More Than $2,600,000 Can Bo Used of
tho $3,000,000 Appropriated for
Frankford Lino
The varying width of the streets and
pavements In tho northeast has led tho
engineers of tho Department of City Tran
sit to, adopt two distinct types of con
struction for the superstructure of tho
Frankford elevated line. From Front and
Callowhill streets to Unity street and
Frankford avenue the elevated railway
will bo supported on doublo columns,
placed opposite each other at each side
of the street. From Unity street to tho
extreme northeastern termtnus of tho lino
the superstructure will be supported on
single columns ranged In the middle of
the street.
SDcdflcations and detailed drawings for
the work on the superstructure have been
completed by tho transit engineers, nnd
bids will bo advertised for soon after the
construction work on tho pillar founda
tions is begun, September 13. More than
J3."0,000 is available for tho work from
tho $3,000,000 appropriated for the Frank
ford line. According to the estimates of
Director Taylor, the expenditure of this
sum will bring tho structure more than
ono third toward completion.
BEGIN ON EASTERN END.
Work on the section from Front and
Callowhill streets to Unity street and
Frankford avenue, a distance of about
four miles, will be begun first, as It Is
on this section that the column supports
and tho steel pier foundations will be
constructed under the contract Just let
to James D. Dorney. Mr. Dorney Is
given one year under the terms of his
contract to complete the foundations.
The construction of the superstructure
can be begun long before this time, how
ever. To mnko this possible the transit
engineers have arranged that Mr. Dor
ney's work shall be divided Into IS sep
arate sections. As soon as any one of
these "sections Is completed tho overhead
structuro work can commence.
The route of thhi section of the elevated
line will bo from Front and Callowhill
streets on Front street to York street,
thenco on Kensington avenue to Frank
ford avenue, nnd on Frankford avenuo
to Unity street. Throughout this entire
dlstar.ee tho two-column construction will
be employed.
Although the width of the pavements
along this route varies, that of the street
ts practically uniform. Uniform construc
tion of the superstructure for this dis
tance consequently Is assured. The pil
lars supporting the tracks will be 70 feet
apart, placed at the edgo of the pave
ment Just insldo tho curb line.
HEIGHT OF THE ELEVATED.
The baso of the superstructure will be
at least 14 feet above tho street level.
The level of the elevated tracks wilt bo
about four feet higher than this. The
width of the superstructure -from the
outer edge of the north-bound track to the
outer edgo of the south-bound track will
be 27 feet. At the various stations tho
station platforms will Increase this width.
Between Front and Callowhill and Unity
street and Frankford avenue there will
bo eight stations. These will be located
at the following places: Front street and
Falrmount avenue. Front street and
Glrard avenue, Front am Berks streets,
Front and Dauphin streets, Kensington
avenue and Cambria street, Kensington
and Allegheny nvenucs, Kensington avo

COMMISSION SCORES
VIOLENCE IN INDUSTRY;
UPHOLDS CLOSED SHOP
Report on Structural Iron In
dustry Investigation Pleads
for Collective Bar
gaining Methods
CO-OPERATION URGED
CHICAGO, Aug. 30. A plea for collec
tive bargaining" as the only means of
bringing about peaco In tho structural
Iron trade is made In the last of the re
ports of the United States Commission on
Industrial Relations, to bo printed to
day. The report is written by Luke
Grant, and .covers the controversy be
tween the National Erectors' Associa
tion and tho International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, the
controversy which culminated In the sen
sational prosecution of tho brothers Mc
Namara in Los Angeles several years
ago,
The report relates at length tho history
of the conflict between these groups of
employers and unionists. It goes Into
the history of tho campaign of dynamit
ing conducted by officials of the union.
The Los Angeles Times explosion, says
Mr. Grant, did not involve the Interna
tional Association of Bridge and Struc
tural Iron Workers, except that tho ex
plosion was perpetrated by one of the
agents who J-id been made us of by
officials of tje union In causing other
explosions.
The application of forco will never es
tablish peace in the structural Iron in
dustry or any other Industry. This is one
of Mr. Grant's conclusions In his study
of the bitter struggle between the struc
tural Iron workers and the employers
organisation. This Is true whether the
employers are the ones who apply phys
ical force or whether It be applied by the
workers.
"Force," says Mr. Grant, "may sub
Jugate onq side or the other tn an In
dustrial dispute, but It wilt not remove
discontent. It will not establish Justice.
When one side Is all powerful and the
other side subservient, there Is sure to be
Injustice. Where there Is Injustice there
will be discontent. The abuse of power
Is not always on the side of the em
ployer. Where unions aro In complete
control abuses are as apt to dovelop as
where the employers exercise absolute
power. In neither case is the condition
conductive to industrial peace.
"In the ironworkers' controversy there
was too much of an uncompromising
altitude shqwn on both sides. There was
too much of the spirit of wishing to do

nearby homes and eat everything In Bight,
even old boots nnd new ones.
Doctor Hornlg has no time to spend
on rats today, if, indeed, rats are In his
line. He Is too busy extolling the vir
tues of the praying mantis, which Is sin
gular, not in the sense of being odd,
strange, or out of the ordinary, but as
opposed to plural.
The praying mantis can and does eat
from 100 to "00 mok-iultocs a day. He
Impales them on his spikes and devours
them. He will not cat plants, nor will
ho harm the human being. The praying
mantis. Doctor Hornlg thinks, should bo
allowed to propagato unmolested.
Unfortunatoly, oil was spilled In the
South Philadelphia swamps to kill the
mosquitoes Just after Doctor Hornlg had
planted lots of praying mantis eggs. The
poor little mantis "hadn't a chance to say
a single prayer. Each nnd every one was
killed by the oil.
Doctor Hornlg Is thinking of trying
gas bombs in the trench war with the
Jersey nightingale, but ho Isn't sure. It
might kill tho bomb throwers or every
body In South and West Philadelphia!
Tho best method Is tho praying mantis,
which gets its name from the fact that
Its front legs nre turned up beseechingly.
certain things because of possessing the
power to do them." the report asserts.
The report Indicates manifestations of
this spirit on both sides in the strike at
tho plants of the American Bridge Com
pany, the controversy In connection with
tho National Tube Company, the action
taken by the Ironworkers nt their Phila
delphia convention nt that time andjthe
open shop war In New York clfyT par
ticularly at the Post and McCord works.
Tho report clearly Justifies the workers'
struggle for a closed shop stating that
the employers' fight for the open shop
springs solely from a desire of decreasing
wages and increasing their own profits
nnd proves this contention by reviewing
the exnet conditions in the structural Iron
Industry.
