WHAT THIS CITY SEEKS
Women's orKanltrntlotvi Interested In
municipal affairs and foclul betterment
have joined In the campaign belns waped
to obtain for Philadelphia firemen a scale
of wages that will placo the Bureau of Fire
pn a par with similar departments in other
Cities.
The New Cedtury Club has named a com
mittee which will wait upon Mayor Smith
and urge hli favorable Interest In the
movement to obtain a lilsher wnge scale.
This proposed personal appeal on behalf
of the firemen resulted from a Milt made
by several members of the club to firo sta
tions In various parts of the cltj
Guided by members of the committee In
charge of the campaign the ladles were
taken through the quaiters of engine com
pany No. 17 on Fifteenth street below Vine,
In tho rear of the Twentieth District police
station Here the routine of a fireman's life
V was explained by personal observation and
the various parts of the apparatus anu nre
flghtlng paraphernalia, together with their
uses, were Illustrated The headquarters of
Knglno No 13, on Parrlsh street near Six
teenth, and of engine No 43 and truck No
, on Market street west of Twenty-first,
were also viewed by the New Century Club
members. Heaquarters of the high-pressure
service No. 2, at Sixth street and Lehigh
avenue, also came In for Inspection
ARDENT ADVOCATES
As a result of their better acquaintance
a first Introduction for most of them the
committee members became ardent nupport
era of the fireman's appeal for a fair sal
ary and an opportunity to sec lil family
oftener than the three hours a day now
prevailing.
Arrangements are now pending with the
Civic Club toward a similar "personally
conducted tour," and a delegation from this
organization Is expected to make a trip to
various company headquarters within a few
days. The firemen are confident that their
campaign will gain Int1uenti.il and powerful
support from civic and other organizations
Interested In their welfare In proportion as
the members of these bodies become fa
miliar with the conditions under which the
firemen now labor.
With the petition which was presented
to Mayor Smith late yesterday by William
C. Xiynch, chairman of the citizens' com
mittee In behalf of the firemen, was a let
ter addressed to the Mayor by Mr. Lynch.
CITIZENS' COMMITTEE APPEAL
This communication read, In part, as fol
lows: "As chairman of the citizens' committee
Interested In the city firemen, I appeal to
you In the name of over 2300 leading mer
chants, manufacturers and professional men
of our fair city to ask you to simply say
the word to the Finance Committee of Coun
cils requesting them to find the means to
provide better conditions and adequnto com
pensation to these brave and faithful em
ployes of the city
"Tho men of the Tire Department for the
last two or thrco months have conducted a
beautiful and noble campaign of education
and the general public has very readily re
sponded thereto. The people of the city of
Philadelphia aro perfectly willing that both
the police and firemen shall be properly
taken care of by the proper authorities,
especially in the esse of the firemen. The
consensus of opinion both by the men In
City Councils and citizens alike Is that this
matter Is up to you, Mr Mayor, and now
what vv.ll you do for them?
"Can It be true that you Intend to throw
them down at this time? I do not believe
It. nor do the other members of the com
mittee. "It Is a well-known fact to every one that
the firemen are working under the same
c6ndltlons since tho organization of the
Fire Bureau in 1871, and no Increase In
salary has been given them since 190.',
while other cities huve been more kindly to
their firemen.
"Since making an Investigation for my
self and others Interested In the firemen,
I have learned a great deal of the truo
condition of the men of the Fire Ilureau,
and can frankly and seriously state to you,
Mr. Mayor, that unless some speedy change
Is mado for these men, to their advantage,
both in time and money, the morale and
tone of the department will be seriously
lessened and the brains and brawn of the
service will seek service eUenhere, as the
conditions In the service are Intolerable
You do not have to take my word for this,
but simply call on your chief engineer and
the deputy chiefs.
SPEAKS OF PENSION FUND
'The pension fund Is not In a very healthy
condition and Is a source of concern and
alarm to t.ie men, as at the present time
twenty per cent of the men are eligible for
pension and dare not think of Buch a. thing
at the present time to go on the pension, as
t'rl fund will not continue to exist more than
three years until It Is entirely depleted and
exhausted unless conditions are made bet
ter. Can you then get young men to go
Into the service? Can you get them to go
In now? How many are resigning every
month? Learn these conditions from your
cniet engineer.
"Kindly consider this matter from the
taxpayer's point of view, that If this bureau
l placed In the condition It should be, by
making tne proper ana necessary changes,
in having more men of the proper type In
the service, and this can only be done by
. - rivr.ig tnem better working conditions and
' "SMne Increase In salary, and 11200 per year
M net too mucn ror the ordinary fireman.
, When the New York men receive $1600 for
;. Mite service and they only have to respond
ta alarms of fire In their own district then
Mm city will have better protection and
Insurance rates will be materially less-

"lJone dry" amendments, which prohibit
the shipment of liquor Into the State for
personal use. were voted by Arizona nnd
Oregon.
Colorado, Oregon and other States In
which It was proposed to permit the ule of
beer, light wines and othei "teniiierate"
drinks rejected the proposals by overwhelm
ing majorities Denver, which voted 9000
"wet" when Colorado went "dry" two jears
ago. this vear voted 16,000 against weaken
ing the prohibition law
The Anti-Saloon League of America and
other prohibition leudcis have their eves
on Ohio as tho next big State in which to
wage a vigorous fight While the State
voted "wet" bv a largo majority a Miort
time ago. attention Is being called to the
fact that this ear the. majority In favor
of saloons in Missouri, generally legarded
as "ultra-wet" was leduced bv too 000,
and that Kansas City voted "dry."
Durtn? this sr's election It was found
that many States adjoining "dr ' States
followed the lead of their neighbors, and
It Is bclloved by Prohibition lenders hero
that Ohio will follow Michigan Into the
"dry" column. The successful candidate
for Governor In South Dakota argued In all
his speeches that his State should be put
on a level with North Dakota. It Is gen
erally believed that Kunsas and Iowa had
an effect on Nebraska.
Two Senators, who always voted "wet."
wcie defeated In Indiana this vear, largely
because their Itepubl'can opponents. Harry
S New and James Watson, pledged them
selves to vote for submission of nation
wide pro'ilbltlon to a vote of the States
GROWTH OF PROHIUITION
In the last seven years the number of
prohibition States has grown from nine to
twenty-three. A vear ago there were only
sixteen At that time h resolution to sub
mit the question of nation-wide suffrage to
a vote of the States carried In the House
by a vote of 107 to 180. The States that
have voted dry are-
Alabama, Arizona, Ai Kansas, Colorado,
Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi,
Maine, Michigan, Montana. North Carolina,
Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Caro
lina, South Dakota. Tennessee. Virglu'a,
Washington and West Virginia
In addition. I'tah has elected a Governor
and a Legislature pledged to prohibition.
Florida tool, notion similar to that of I'tah,
but prohibition leaders do not count on the
State going dry because of constitutional
obstacles While the decision, of Alaska to
go dry will not have any effect on the na
tional situation the prohibition lenders are
particularly phased over the "wild and
woolly" territory's decision It Is believed It
will have a good "psychological" effeet, ac
cording to the Hev E. C Dinwiddle, secre
tary of the Anti-Saloon League of America.

There will be a clo-e fight for control
of the next Legislature, according to the
returns from the election of last Tuesday.
The Republicans w.ll maintain their uual
overwhelming dominance of the Assembly,
but the division of power between the Pen-rose-McNIchol
machine and tho nrumbaugh
Varc machine Is still In doubt, and probably
will remain In doubt until n Speaker Is
chosen for the House of Representatives.
According to the returns, the Senate will
be lomposed of thirty-nine Republicans,
ten Democrats and one Washington party
man, who most probably will side with the
minority. The Houso w.ll ie composed of
169 Republicans, thirty-seven Democrats
and one Socialist.
The future of the Governor's announced
program of legislation, for which he Is
pledged to flgh. and tho future of the
program of le-gislatlon urged by Philadel
phia will depend upon the outcome of the
pre-AssembI maneuvers of pie two factions
and the willingness of the winning faction
to espouse the cause of this city.
The Philadelphia delegation In the House.
will see new leaders during tho next ses
sion, while, the up-State contingent that has
steadfastly opposed nearly all bills that
were favored by the Phlladelphlans will
have almost the same leadership as two
vears ago.
The Senate leadership will remain the
same, however, with Senators Vare, Mc
Nlchol, Crow and Sproul dominating the
upper house.
Phlladelphlans who nr- Interested In the
enactment of the legislation so vitally need

both factions, must look to the Senate to
conduct the light for the Philadelphia bills.
