AUTOISTSPROVmEJOY
FOR ORPHANS AT PARK
Nearly 3000 Little Ones Taken
to Willow Grove for Merry
making Day
This Is "Orphan's Day.'
NClub nnd hundreds of Philadelphia owners
i utomoDiis, more than 2800 homeless
little ones were taken to Willow Grove
Park.
More than BOO automobiles and trucks
reported to the committee In charge of the
outing at the Walton Hotel this morning
between 9 and 10 o'clock nnd were In
structed at which Institutions to call nnd
nt what time to return to the park for the
little charges and their attendants.
Out at tho park tho little folks nro
the guests of the Itapld Transit Company.
i-vcrjr amusement along the pleasant Mid
way has been thrown open to the orphans
froo of charge. At noon a luncheon was
served.
Orphans' Day has become a. fixed and
popular Philadelphia Institution. The Idea
of treating the little folks of tho various
city orphanages to a day In Willow Orovo
originated with the Quaker City Motor
Club eight years ago. At that time tho
members decided that they would devote a
part of ono day every year In helping tho
orphans enjoy the pleasures of a country
outing The members agreed to donate tho
use of their cars.
Tho Philadelphia Itapld Transit Company
uas appealed to and agreed to place tho
amusements along the Midway at tho dis
posal of tho little folks. A luncheon was
also provided. To make the matter as con
onlent as possible, lb was arranged that
all cars bearing tho pennant of the club
and carrying children to tho park would
be permitted to pass the numerous toll
gates along tho Old York road without
charge.
After the success" of tho first year it was
found that the club was not able to tnke
caro of the number of children who should
havo been invited. Tho public wns ap
pealed to and tho Department of Public
Safety agreed to co-operate Ldters vero
sent to hundreds of motorcar owners
throughout tho city requesting donation of
automobiles and motortrucks.
Tho number of requests from orphanages
has been so largo that It has been a didlcult
task to provide enough automobiles. Tho
response from motor owners has been satis
factory this year and tho outing today was
highly successful.

NEW YOIltC, Juno H. Tho conference
between the railroads of tho United States
and the "Dig Four" brotherhoods probably
will ndjourn today or Thursdny without
reaching an agreement on tho demands of
,360.000 workers for the eight-hour day nnd
other concessions The conference has been
tn session In tho Engineering Societies
Building slnco Juno 1. It has cost $100,000
to keep tho 800 labor delegates In New York
for the two weeks.
It wai apparent nt tliq adjournment of tha
Tuesday session that tho railroads and the
workers were no nearer an agreement than
on June 1. The leaders of tho unions hae
no power to declare a strike. The failure
ot tho conference will In all probability be
followed In a few weeks by a referendum
vote among the workers on empowering tho
union heads to use their own judgment ns
tn a strike Tho sequel of this voto would
bo another conference, nt which the union
loadcri, with power to call a strike, would
,Ye a .'n,Pon to hold over the heads of tho
railroad managers

which they prescribed' that no man could
be paid twice for the samo time, tho union
leaders said that If the railroads stood
pat on that principle It was or no uso for

to Hllalia Lee, of the Pennsylvania Lines,
chairman of tho railroad representatives,
and said: .
"There Is so Httlo ln this to talk about
that 1 am sin prised to find you fellows
still hero talking". If,our sldo thinks our
proposition means tha abrogation of any
of the rules of our present schedule, ou
nre mistaken. You nnd I have alwajs
spoken plainly to ench other and wo had
better talk plainly now."
Turning to A. II. Oarretson, head of tho
engineers, he asked:
"Do jou think tho other sldo thinks we
will recede from any of tho demands we
hao made?"
"Well, If they haven't awakened, It Is

While the railroads have asserted that to
grant tho demands of the workers would
cost them $100,000,000 a yeni and the woi le
ers say the figures should bo $26,000,000,
there has been almost no discussion of
tho question of cost during thp conference,
tho 'disputes hinging on whit wore rognrded
by both sides as principles Tho managers
will probably finish tomorrow answering
tho questions qt tho workers and there will
be no further business before the conferenco
