Curb ing Improvements SYSTEMS HERE HARD HIT Large railroad construction projects of ererj kind on the three (treat rail sytn feeding Into Philadelphia are at a standstill, It became known today. Lack of funds and the scarcity of labor, it was said, made it necessary for the federal railroad administration to order the work stopped. Xot only is the Philadelphia district affected, but erery railroad system in 'the country that is under federal con trol likewise has come under the con struction ban wherever the projected work could possibly be deferred Meanwhile, in those regions where freight congestion lias been acute since the beginning of the war, freight con tinues to pile up because the railroads cannot expand their yards and build new trackage and warehouses to take care of the resumption of peace time traffic. This traffic, in the opinion of experts, is likely to increase steadily for some time to come as delayed con struction work in all parts of the country, outside transportation circles, is carried on to completion and the gen eral prosperity wave swells. Millions Tied Up Many millions of dollars are tied up In contracts the execution of which has been deferred. AVhile the regional di rector of the Allegheny district refused to make public a list of specific pro jects of the kind held up in the dis trict, it is knwn that the Overbrook freight yards" of the Pennlylvania Railroad is one of the largest. Construction of this yard, which was intended to help relieve, the freight congestion at Philadelphia, was scarcely begun when the raihoad ad ministration's Older stopped the work four months ago The project is to cosf approximately 51,000,000. Railroad officials here were reluctant today to discuss the situation frankly, indicating that they feared the dis pleasure of the raihoad administra tion, to whom they referred all in qulrics. At the office of the regional director it was said by C. A Blauvelt. 5 assistant director, it was not n matter j in which the public is interested. Nothing New, He Sajs "There is nothing new in this it- uation," he declared. "The govern . ment decided some time ago that rail- road construction projects involving J large sums of money and requiring a large force of labor should be j deferred." Mr. Blauvelt was unable to say when t the ban would be lifted. He illustrated J the financial inability of the railroads to . carry on the abated projects by taking , a handful of coins from his pocket and r3i ?slfinB.

According to word received from the latter city. Judge Thompson, of the Appellate Court, charges seventy per j cent of his cases to liquor, while Judge Brothers, of the Circuit Court, t-ays I that sixty per cent of his cases, at least, may be attributed to drink, and adds that he believes that the amount of I dUorce suits "will diminish sixty or' secntj per cent when liquor is pro hibited." ' "Desertion and cruelty," continued Judge Brothers, "are often the out growth of drink. The real causes of mo-.t of the misery arc the things that make up the underlying reasons for divorce, and not the divorce itself." These two judges have each handled more than 2300 dnorce cases. Judge Barratt, of the Court of Com mon Pleas No. 2, of this city, disagreed with the Chicago men. Ho said today: "From my personal observations in the many dhorcc cases which have come before me I should say that the estimates made by Judge Brothers nre about TiO per cent too high. It is with hesitation that I would put the divorce suits which are entered here, because of drink, as high as 40 per cent. "The great bulk of divorce case rea sons may b" divided into two divisions: In the first case one of the two parties has a lot of money or property and the other has not, this leading to dis trust and eventually a desire for sepa ration ; in the second division are the suits which arc originated when one of the two parties wished to mnrry some one else. "When the cases come into court there arc many reasons assigned foi the desire to separate." continued Judge Bnrratt, "and as a rule these reasons are usually onlj superficial The real cause is seldom revealed. Prink is the most convenient excuse and therefore it is the one most often used "As a rule drink comes after nnd not before love has gone It prove a convenient horse upon which to saddle many marital troubles." Recognize Ireland, Labor Men Demand Contlnnnl From Tare On A lively debate followed the proposal of this amendment to the orlginnl reso lution. Peter J.

We should go on record as asking for self-determination for Ireland. "The people of Ireland hnve de manded liberty in no uncertain terms.

Wilson Changed Views, He Sajs Delegate Kingsley, of Newport, said: "Since President Wilson has been hobnobbing with the European diplo mats he seems to have modified his 'opinion regarding the fourteen points 'l want to see Irelend have the right of self-government."

Their pres ence will be nn inspiration for Repre sentative John R K Scott to unfold sundrey nnd divers political secrets con cerning Senator Penrose nnd all of his friends nnd followers in the House nnd Senate. As Representative Scott is noted for his forensic nbllitv when attacking a political opponent, n halcyon nnd vocif erous time maj be etpected in the House about the hour of high noon to morrow. Incidentally, about the same time the cars of Senator Penrose should burn like n house ahre. Director Twining's letter to Governor Sproul, in part, follows: "Owing to the changed finnucial con ditions resulting from the war, a refer endum will be necessar.v in order that the people maj decide upon a feasible plan of expending the money now available for rapid transit improve ment. Bill Provides Transfers The Snliw bill piovides that money heretofore appropriated for that and other purposes which have afteiward become impiacticable, impossible or un necessary by leason of such changed londitions can by referendum be used for purposes practicable under condi tions then existing, with the distinct provision, however, thnt no money here tofore appropriated for tiansit shall be used for any other purposes. As over $."0,000,000 of the amount forming the subject matter of the bill refers to tran sit, the bill I" virtualh a transit measure. "It ran in no sense be termed a po litical bill, for it cannot Inure to the benefit of the present administration, as the" refciendum cannot be held be foie tjve November election at the ear liest, and therefore no money could be used until after the time and then only in accordance with the result of the referendum decided by the citizens of Philadelphia " "If this bill is not pasbed the citizens of Philadelphia will bo deprived of any possibilitj of any large measure of tran sit improvement until after the session of the next Legislature, a period of over two veins. This will be an injustice which ou surelv cannot permit under your administration, particularly since 'the right desited by the citizens of Philadelphia lias been granted by the present Legislature to Harrisburg and other municipalities of the state of Pennsylvania as follows: Borrowing Capacity Reduced ' To allow appropriated moneys not feasible for the purposes for which the.v were appropriated by reason of changed economic or financial conditions to be used for other purposes now practicable. Besides the above injustice the borrow -ing capacity of the city will be reduced bj the amount appropriated and now used, and the city thus further pieju diced in its requirements for necessary improvements. "On the evening of a period of leform and improvement such as is lontem plated by the revised charter of the city, it would be a poor commentary indeed to allow any faction to hamstring the city in its necessary improvements by the failure of this bill. "Such a failure would tend to dis credit and undermine confidence in the honesty of the entire charter revision, because formal changes nre valueless ir abuses now prevalent in the political sjstem are to be confirmed. It would be a poor commentary indeed to change the form of administration and let it start out with an inability to carry out the improvements which the people demand. "I trust you will give this important matter your immediate consideration nnd deal with it in a manner, which to jour best judgment seems meet." WINING APPEALS FOR SALUS BILL RU a Staff Correapondent Harrisburg, June 17. Director Twining, of the Department of City Transit in Philadelphia, has appealed to Governor Sproul, Senator Penrose and state leaders to enact the Salus bill, which would permit the city to divert to other transit purpoijos on a referen dum of the voters money appropriated, for specific transit purposes. John Egan, secretary of the direc tor, came here today with n letter to the Governor, and Interviewed Senator Penrose, Senator Crow and Senator Vare. Because of the increased prices of materials, Director Twining has found that on the loan moneys voted In 1916 for transit purposes, It would be im possible to complete the Taylor plan of high speed transit routes. The director wants to divert some of the money so as to complete the Frank -ford L and other routes most needed. Director Twining himself 'was here last week and saw Senator Penrose and other state leaders in person and asked them to aid the passage of the meas ure. As no action was forthcoming he then appealed to the Governor. Sena tors Vare and Crow both favor the bill. Unless the measure Is passed the'dtrecjor declares thers will be no great transit improvement until ifter the, Beit Legislature, aad awwta, at WORKERS OFF TO HARRISBURG Tn-li-T'mfTi-tiMiiUMimiii ilium iirirrlrniriiiiiiiiiiiri--nririrBn-iiirniiiiiiiwiii niiumi- iiii?trnmnwvvi imPBVriiiTmwi;i- .tfrtiM-W departure to capital to hasten the ratification of the national suffrage amend failure to put it through the Legisla ture would "discredit and undermine confidence in the honesty of the entire charter," which, he continues, would be "valueless if abuses now prevalent in the political sjstem arc to be con tinued." The director virtually charges the Tenrosc faction with attempting to "hnm string" the city. Senntor Varc has expressed himself as being in favor of the immediate passage of this bill.

SEE END OF WIRE STRIKE Local Union Men Await Action From Washington The interpretation placed by officials of the American Federation of Labor in convention at Atlantic Ulty on Pogt- master General Burleson's order grant-1 ing the right of collective bargaining j to telegrnphers is looked upon by strik ing telegraphers here as the beginning of the end of the strike. The strikers awaited with interest further details from Washington Postal Telegraph and Western Union officials said they had heard nothing of the order. Negotiations between the strikers and the officials of the com pany will be carried on in New York. Officials of the two companies In Phil adelphia declared that the strike was not hampering them in the least and that tbelr service continued normal, not withstanding claims by the strikers that six operators joined them yesterday in addition to the hundred or more that tbey claimed before. The right of collective bargaining is the main bone of contention between the strikers and the officials of the com panies. Strikers say that if the post master general has conceded that point a long step has been taken in settlement of the strike.
