Speaker Spaugler ruled that the point
of order was not well taken.
The bill, with the amendments In

preceded the roll-call, nppurcntly was

R. White Says Good Gov

Charter Passage
"The election of piopei coiim ilmeii is
the next step abend for fiicnds of good
government in this cit."
This was the iiniinent lodav of
Thomas Itaeburn White ocr the Wood
ward chnrter bill victor at Ilurrishurg.
Mr. White, a member of the Plillu-
delpliln charter committee, headed the
, subcommittee which diafted the Wood-
ward bill.
I "1 am very mm b gratified over the
I result." Mr. White said, "I consider
lit a step forward even though I re
giet that the entire civil service feature
I of the bill is not included.
"Although I have not seen the bill
in its amended form I believe il car
ries all the piovistons we wanted ex
i ept tho civil service featuie. We
t ally got more than we evpcited.
' "I cannot speak nnthoritativclv on

'Governor signs it I shall probably make
a formal statement.
i "I don't know what the barter com
mittee will do next. The committee
probably will meet nfter the bill is
signed by the (Jovcrnor."
i Mr. White's referenie to the civil
j scrv i( e feature of the bill com erned the
I section providing fine and imprisonment

SHALL RIGHT PREVAIL?
Under the influence of selfish and unscrupulous
outside agitators, some of our people without a
moment's warning, desprted their posts of duty on
Tuesday morning of last week in an effort to force
us to reinstate certain employes who had been dis
missed or disciplined for proved violation of our
rules. To this wholly unwarranted demand has
been added a further demand for a general increase
in wages, the minimum to be 25 and the maxi
mum about 85. The new schedule demanded is
to be retroactive to August 1st, 1918, and involves
an increase in wages of many thousands of dollars.
This proposed financial load is to be added to the
already staggering burden of a company that, with
out any increased revenue for its service, has had
to carry an increase since the war began of more
than 40 in its wages and other operating ex
penses. The management of the Keystone Telephone Com
pany is now faced with an effort to throttle its
service if these monstrously unjust demands are
not acceded to. We can, under the influence of a
gun held at our head, either commit financial
suicide, or we can resist. For manly, American
made men, there is but one choice, and that is to
resist these demands. We must and will follow
that choice to its logical conclusion, even if it
means a temporary total interruption of our
service.
But we are in the public service and cannot and
should not win without public sympathy and sup
port. We appeal for that support. We have still
hundreds of loyal employes, and if we have the
practical support and openly expressed confidence
of the public, we cannot lose this fight, which, after
all, in the principle of right involved, is yours as
well as ours.

TELEGRAPH LINES

STRIKE; FEW ARE OUT
Claims of Strikers and Tele
graph Companies Differ; Only
Inconvonience Is in Camden
All telegraph linen running out of
Philadelphia nre opn nnd the service
appears to be nearly .normal, despite
the strike here today of the telegraph
operators and linemen. There wns no
interference whatsoever In commercial
and brokers' offices.
Kstimntes ot the number of men on
strike, made by the telegraph companies
and by the strike leaders, differ greatly.
At the mnin office of the Western
I'nlon Compnny, Fifteenth and Chest
nut streets. T. U. Kingsburg, the man
nger, stated that only four operators
out of 1400 employed went on strike.
During the Inst week,- the company
stnted that twenty-one men who struck
automatically gave up their positions.
The strikers clnim that the force of
workers for the Western Union is badly
crippled by the strike, which started at
S o'clock this morning. They would
not venture to estimate the number of
operators and linemen who wnlked out,

Siwernl messenger boys nt the West- j
ern I'nlon nre known to hno struck
for an increase in wages. .
At the main office of the Postal Tele- j
grnph Compnny, C. K. Rngle'y, the I
superintendent, said that less than 10 i
per cent of the workers had stopped ,
work. The strike lenders sny thnt fill
per cent of the workers there nre out. !
Telegraph service between this city
nnd Atlantic City was handicapped to
some extent by the strike.
Operators of the Western Union and
I Postal companies in Camden joined in
i the strike today, Srr operators of the
' Western Union office at Third and
Pederal streets, walked out, nnd two
.men were engaged to do the work. The
Postal office, on Pederal street, above
Third, is closed.
The strike at these offices hns inter
fered somewhat with the business of
several large firms iu Camden. All the
messenger boys in the Postal and two
in the Western Union office there wnlked
out.
Mr. Rngley this afternoon said the
situation is very encouraging, nnd thnt
he expected the majority of the men
who walked out to return to work
shortly. The Postal company has en
gaged several of the operators who went
nn strike at the Western Union office
during the last week.
Pickets for both the strikers arTd the
telegraph companies are on the streets.
The strike lenders predict thnt many
more operators nnd linemen will join
the ranks of the strikers. An effort
is being ninde to keep the men employed
on the night shifts from reporting for
work this evening.
The strikers ask for increased wages,
n recognition of the union and the right
of collective bargaining. Of these three
demands, the last is considered the most
important by the strike! s.

Such conditions do not "just happen". There is invariably a
reason. In this case, the reason is that thousands of penny-paring,
cost-finding business men put Atlantic Gasoline to the test of the
road and Atlantic showed a tremendous balance of miles in its favor.
Therefore, we refer with pride to those thrifty truck-owners who
have adopted Atlantic Gasoline as the standard motor-fuel, not
