production of woolen clothing nnd woolen
blankets for Uncle Sam's roldlers. If tho

tccure manufacturers to make blankets and
doth, even If It has to commandeer them
Benjamin llullock, Jr., of Uullork HroMi
rs, wool dealers, In South Front street
near Chestnut, who was In Uoston Monday
to get Information about the Government's
plans for buying wool, said toduy thnt he
had heard many of the foremost wool deal
rs of the city ay that they would offer
more than half of their wool to the Govern
ment through the Uoston office.
He made this etatement when he tvm
asked about criticisms which resulted from
the action of the Philadelphia Wool and
Textile- Association yesterday of first paw.
Ing the plan of tho Uoston association of
effer'ng tho Government half of tho wool
In the warehouse hero at July 30 prlcoi
nd later rescinding tho action for h reso
lution to merely offer wool at "a fair mar-
ket price."
Mr. Bullock alti ho learned In Uoston
that three committees of nlno men each
will pass on wool samples and pass them
on. If they are worth passing, 10 a com
mittee of three, which will recommend any
worthy families to tho representatives of
the Government. One committee will pass
en samples of tops, another on srourcd and
pulled wools and innlher on fliero and ter
ritory wools.
"I am not In sympathy with thoso who
criticize tha Government for Its methods
tthls time. Wo should all help the Govern
ment and If suggestions nro needed should
offer them," said Mr. Bullock with regard
to criticism directed at Joseph H. Grundy,
member of tho Council of Nntlonal Do
fenso from Philadelphia, because he wa
not familiar with what the Government Is
doing with regard to buylnc wool.
Mr. Grundy had not heard that the Gov
yiment was preparing to buy wool, accord
ing to local wool men, when they nuked
him about It late last. Week. Then Mr.
Bullock went to Uoston for Information
nd found that tho Gowirtimour Is doing
business through Jacob V, Drown, chairman
of the commlttco on wool of the Council
ot National Defense.
"Some wool men crltlclio Ihe fact that
Mr. Grundy wan mndn a meml'ier of tho
woo committee when ho Is a manufacturer
and not a' dealer In wool," admitted Arthur
C. Blgloiv, president of the Wool and Tex
tile Association, today.
The committee on wool of the Council of
National Defenso Is now Understood to rep.
resent both the raw wool Industry and the
manufactured woolens Industry, In that
case. It Is pointed out here, the appoint
ment of a textile manufacturer, such as Mr.
Grundy. Is Justified.

According to 11 statement Issued by Dlrec

nnd two other engineers, which wero made
yesterday, aio designed olelv In accord
nnco with tho pl.inn of the .Mayor and Direc

southwestern pari of the city Their work

In the southwestern part of the city so as
to nrford ample tiaillc nnd railway facilities
for this section, which Is growing abnor
mally In H10 Industilal wax nnd will con
tlnue to develop much more, according to
Director Dalesman.
Tho oilier ciiglneeis who were transferred
yesterday weie George D. Martin, of the
Manayiink district, who was sent 10 the
West Philadelphia district formeily oreti

Tho development Jf that part of the city
Is n quejtlon which Is deemed by Director
Dalesman ns of vital Importance, nnd re
cently he mado n thorough Investigation of
tho tralflc needs of this rapidly growing
Industrial center As a result of that In
vestigation It was decided to organize n spe
cial corps of engineers In tho bureau who
would give their attention solely to work
ing out thn plans In detail.
The work to be done Is authorized by an
ordlnanco of Councils which was approved
by Mayor Smith on October 4 of last year.
The ordinance provides tho revision ot thi
lines and grades on streets and the estab
lishment of new streets over certain terri
tory of tho Fortieth Ward. The rapid In
dustrial development which has taken place
In tho southwestern part of the Fortieth
Ward extends as far bh Marcus Hook. Tho
development has been duo solely to the war.
BONWIT TELLER PLAN
IMPROVING COLONNADE
Hotel Purchased by Firm to Con
tinue on Similar Lines for a
Time at Least
Immediate changes will be made to the
Colonnndo Hotel by Its new owners, Bonwlt,
Teller & Co., who conduct a fashionable
shop for women at the corner of Thirteenth
and Chestnut streets, with the view of mak
ing It n moro comfortable nnd more at
tractive hotel.
At least for tho present It will continue
to be n hotel, and from tho tone of n state
ment of u member of the firm may con
tinue tn bu a hotel for porno tlmo until tho
trend of building In tho vicinity be 'omes
npparont. It would be prac'lcolly Impos
sible for the film to Hliirt nny kind of new
building until tho war closed, owing to
Government Inhibitions on building.
"Wo have no definite plans which we care
lo announce," sold a member of tho Bonwlt
Teller firm "All wo feel Justified In saying
Teller firm "All wo feel Justified In saying Is
that for tho tlmo being, at least, the Colon
whlch will ndd to Its charm nnd comfort
Numerous Improvements will bo made to tho
property, making It thoroughly modern In
every way, and the same standard of n,ulet
elegnnco will bo maintained tn Its manage
ment. "Whether or not this may lead eventually
to Its replacing with n towering, roof
gardened hotel, llko the Vandcrhllt or nilt
more In New York, I cannot eay. Drftibtless
such a proposition would succeed eminently,
for Philadelphia certainly has room for n
'near-the-statlon' hotel fluch as now Is being
built ncross the street from the Pennsyl
nnla terminal In New York,
Tho one thing I can say definitely Is
that wo aro buying this corner not only be
causo wo have faith In Philadelphia's fu
ture,, how ever viewed, but because, wo firmly
believe that while thn city's best business
houses will continue to cluster around this
location as a logical center, the Intersection
of theso two nrterlal highways must con
tlnue for at least a century."
The hotel building was bought from Mar
tin K. areenhouse for an announced price
of between Jl.VCO.COO and; (2,000,000. It
extends 79 feet 2 Inches on Chestnut street
nnd 142 feet 7 Inches on Fifteenth street
The property Is assessed at 1,180,000.

The Pennsylvania Public Snuty Commit
teo hns no authority to Issue fundH to tlio
farm bureau of the Philadelphia Bourse,
or any othe,r orgurlzatlon, uccordlng to n
statement today by an odlclal of tho com
mittee. Ho "aid further that the Pennsylvania
Commission of Public Safety and Defenso
has entire control of the purso strings of
tho $2,000,000 war fund appropriated by tho
State, and that the application of tho Farm
Bureau for financial assistance for con
tin Jlng Its work should bo made to tho
commission
This statement of the olllclal of tho com
mlttco was Issued In reply to charges by
Ilmll P. Albrecht, becrctnry ot the Phila
delphia Bourse, that tho committee li "In
consistent, teldih and narrow-minded" bc
causo It has refused to lend nny suppoit
whalover to tho farm co-operation plan
which lias been Instituted by the farm bu
lenu of the Bourse.
When Informed today of tho statement
of the official of tho committee, llr. Al
brecht said:
"That was not the reason given us for
icfuslng to suppoit the work of tho farm
bureau. If the committee had Informed
us that the Commission (was in charge of
tho disbursement of funds, we would havo
communicated with the commission at once.
It Is my purpose to get In touch with tho
commission nnd find out the true slate of
affairs.
"When I asked the commlttco for aid I
was told that the committee would not pay
the expenses ot any bureau that was not
under the control of the said committee. I
offered to placo tho bureau under tho super
vision of the committee and then I was told
that our work would only be a duplication
of tho farm work the commlttco was pre
paring. "Jt would be deplorable If tho work of the
Bourse Farm Bureau was allowed to dlo
from tho lack of proper support. I havo no
Idea of tho kind ot work the commltteo Is
doing, but so far the public has no concrete
evidence that It is doing anything beside
sending out a lot of poetry and literature."
The representative of tho committee In
his statement, said:
"Tho Pennsylvania Commission of Pub
He Safety, known as tho 'War Board,' has
complete charge of tho disbursing of the
J2.000.000 fund appropriated by tho State.
This commission Is composed of tho Gov
ernor, the lieutenant Governor, the Adju
tant General, tho Auditor General, and tho
State Treasurer.
The commission gives us money for
nrvClflo pui poses, nnd If we havo any money
left over after expenditures we are obliged
to turn that money back Into the fund
Wo have no aulhoilty to dish out money to
the farm bureau of tho Bourfco or any
other organization. Tho placo for Mr. Al
brecht to make his complaint Is tho com
mission." Angered by the refusal of tho Pennsyl
vania Public Safety Commlttco to lend Its
support, either moral or financial, to tho
Co-operntlvo Farm Work Station, located
on tho Bourse Moor, officials of tho Phila
delphia Ilourse yesterday bitterly arraigned
tho organization, of which George, Wharton
Pcpptr Is the chairman, by dcclatlng that
It is not exemplifying that co-opeiatlon and
practical patriotism needed at tho present
time.
As one of the organizations of Penn
sylvania endeavoring to assist in tho efforts
for Increased food production, the Bourso,
out ot patriotic motives, oreated tho Co
operative Farm Work Station, and has
thereby placed hundreds of laborers on
nearby farm8. ltccently, however. Its work
became so widened In scopo that tho Ilouiso
found Itself unable to bear the additional
financial burdens. It appealed to tho Public
Safety Commltteo to take over the station.
It refused and yesterday's break was the
result.
According to the Bourse, the State com
mittee, which waa to be a public body
created to foster and oncourngo such move
ments as those represented by the Cooperative-
Farm Station, has' refused to de
vote any funds to any work: over which It
did not havo direct supervision. Ilepro
Bentatlves of the State commlttco contendod
1111. mo Bianou was uupucaiing other ef
forts to supply farm labor and was there
fore unnecessary and that the commltteo
had plans of a comprehensive system of
supplying farm and other labor.
Replying to these contentions, the Bourse,
through Kmll P. Albrecht. Its secretary
dlsclosod how it had placed COO hands, 90
per cent of them experienced, on adjacont
farms, and how distant farmers In search
of additional, help were constantly appeal
ing to tho station for nibro help The
Bouroo also revealed how It had offered to
turn the station over to the public safety
committee and permit It to receive its en
tire credit and have full supervision over
the expenditures of all moneys appropriated
for the upkeep of the station.
Meanwhile ho work of the farm station
Is to continue, the Bourso announcing that
rather than permit Its necessary public
service to- cease through lack of funds it
had received contributions from a number
of patrlotlo private Individuals who had
voluntarily pledged 'themselves to maintain
1U operation.
Control of vast electric light nnd power

"As .1 matter Of fact, the deal not only
Involves tho frnnrhlso rights, but many

"It was m.ide through a syndicate In which

Ho had Intended to withhold I he an

which many persons prominent In social" life
were present, was devoid of all display A
dash of patriotism was given the affair In
tho decorations, which consisted of nu
of the Allies tastefully arranged In the
banquet room.
Quietly and unknown even to his closest

cxamlnaUons and received his commission.
A week ngo ho presented himself nt the

Tho City Solicitor's office today completed
work of drafting the six contracts for tho
subway work awarded two weeks ago, and
tho documents are now leady to recelvo tho
signatures of tho contractors nnd the city
authorities It became known nt tho same
time, however, that the passage by Coun
cils of an ordlnanco giving tho Transit
Director broad discretionary powers re
garding tho execution of a contract might
bo n necessary step beforo the "concessions"
sought by the three firms can be adjusted
This matter Is now being threshed out by
tho'Clty Solicitor's department, and It is
not expected that nny decision will be
reached before tho middle of next week.
Meanwhile tho hIx conttncls will bo kent
In tho ofilco of tho Law Department, since
under tho legular procedure tho contractors
themselves arc tho firt,t to sign the docu
ment. to covi:n loss nv delay
Tho contractors are asking that the city
compensate them for the superintendence
nnd upkeep of their plants In case tho work
Is tied up by tho lack of materials after
It has been once begun, nnd for other neces
sary expenditures Incidental to the delay In
the delivery of materials and supplies. It
. ";fn,enilly admitted by thoso who have
studied the situation that to grant tho re.
quests would piactlcally nie.ni a modifica
tion of (he contracts themselves.
Whether nny legal way can bo found to
circumvent this Is Seriously questioned. It
was said today, and ns a. result tho City
Solicitor may advise that Councils pass an
ordlnanco making It discretional v with the
Director to giant tho "concessions" sought.
In view of the unusual war conditions.
In New York city the Public Service
Commission possesses such power ns affect
