A "harmony conference" will be held nt 10 o'clock tomorrow morning by the three men selected Tuesday at Harrisburg to iron out the remain ing wrinkles in the bills. These ronferees are to be Thomas Uneburn While, counsel of the Phila delphia charter committee; City Solici tor ,lohn P. Connelly nnd .loseph P. Caffncy, chairman of Councils' tinanrc committee. Vare Forres I.oe The Vare forces apparently have lost their light agniust the proposed City Council of twenty-one members. The outcome of their battle ngalnst the three-fourths ote requirement on mu nicipal contracts will be known next week when the charter bills are. reported out of committee. Charter rcWsiunists are holding their ground on the three-fourths vole pro vision. They believe it to be a form id -aided barred gate against a continu ance of the contract sjstcm, but nt the same time a gate that may be swuug open in emergencies. The net councilmnnic campaign will have the question of city contracts as the chief issue. The question will largely influence the mnjoralty cam paign as well. Independents will concentrate their efforts toward electing n Council iu f si -or of the city doing its own street cleaning nnd other unspecifinble work. Put this shifting from the contract In the direct system will not materialize, it is said, until late in 10U0. Opposed fo Compromises The conference tomorrow is likely to bo confined to tho budget sections of the charter bills. Neither the revision ists nor their ooponeuts nre willing to compromise on the three-fourths vote provision. The belief thnt one or more mem bers of the board of registration com missioners would bo removed from offico has been killed by Governor Sproul. Tho belief sprang to life be cnuso of the st,atc executive's comment that he would find tt way to "sweeten" the atmosphere about tho commission, which has been bitterly nttneked by Senator Penrose nnd his f-tllowors. Governor Sproul now has declared that tho commissioners will be allowed to serve out their terms, which expire .Tune IT., PJ'.'O. There arc three Dalx-Ilrady bills in the Legislature, which affect registra tion in this city. The first contains a ripper in this city. The first contains a out. This bill provides thnt the com missioners must sit continuously for two weeks following tho regulnr regis tration dnvs to give every one n chance to get on tho lists who is eutitlcd to be there. The second bill provides that county commissioners who are candidates for re-election cannot sit as return judges. Two commissioners George V. Holmes and Harry Kuenzel will seek to suc ceed themselves next fall. The bill alo contains proiiuns for lite hand ling of sample and official ballots nnd n system of checking up on those is sued, especially those made void in marking. The third bill prevents the removal of polling places within an election dis trict except by a petition of a majority of the electors within a division.
