Penn. Co-eds Like Scented Cigarette
the Best
There was no reason for the Penn
students, who yesterday held 'an elec

the affair a straw vote. There's some
tobacco in tile bloomin' fags.
All the brunds were represented in
the contest. The only bndly defeated
candidate was Cubcb, on the Prohibi
tion ticket.
The "co-eds" showed a ladylike in
terest. "While most of them polled
strongly for the scented "pills," a few
robust young women voted for the good
old Virginia brands with the heavy
drag.
Champions of the weed said they were
willing to fight to the finish before they
would surrender their right to the
brenth of nicotine. "Cigarettes never
hurt me." explained one voter. "As
soon as I feel they are getting my wind.
I cut down to two packs a day and
times' nil there is to it."

FLEET FORCES FAGE
LOSS OFMINS
Stirred by New Order Barring
Accumulation of Time
Allowance
48 DAYS ARE DUE TO SOME
Kmergency Fleet Corporation- em
ployes will get no more "accumulated
vacations," unless the shipping board
moderntes n recent ruling ngninst car
rying oyer vacation allowances ho.toud
the present year.
Because'm the ruling tliere is intense
dissatisfaction among the hundreds of
workers nt the fleet offices nt Broad and
Cherry streets. Officials and workers
arc aroused' over what they consider nn
unjust and arbitrary order, nnd a
strong protest has been made tn the
shipping board heads nt Washington.
A conference wns held at Washington
several days ago between officers of the
shipping board and fleet representatives.
The entire matter is now in the hands
of a committee, appointed to adjudicate
the controversy. It must be approved
by John Barton Payne, new bond of
the shipping board, and the trustees of
the Kfiiergency Fleet Corporation.
Could Accumulate Month
During the war, when employes of
the fleet corporation worked night and
day nnd Sundays ns well, with no
thought of vacation, n rule was made
that every employe was entitled to two
and one-half days a month ns vacation
time, which he wns permitted to allow
to accumulate. This gave him a thirty-day
allowance annually.
If nn employe left the corporation lie
was paid for the time coming to him.
At Broad and Cherry streets ninny
workers are owed thirty dnjs' vaca
tion. Some have forty-eight days due
them. . ,
The new ruling is thnt in future this
accumulation of vacation will not be
permitted: neither will any employe
be allowed to carry over the days due
him beyond the current jeur. if he
does not get his vacation tunc before
the end of 1010 he loses it.
The cmplojos. tlioiefnre, fnce the al
ternative of quitting to get their va
cation pay or of squeezing their vaca
tions in between now and tho end of
the year.
Fleet corporation workers say ninny
employes who have left the service,
some 'of them high-salaried workers,
have enjoyed the privilege of quitting
with n full month's, pay ahead, while
the workers who want to stay in the
corporation's employ nre in danger of
Insinir even the vacation justly due
them. . ..
Hope for a Solution
There is hope a way may be found
out of the difficulty. The officers of
the corporation here ngrec thnrtlio
workers' position i3 fair.
A plan has been worked out which
lacks the sanction of the shipping board,
but which, it is hoped, will be up
proved. The new plan would permit every
employe thirty dujs' vacation and thir
ty dajs' sick leave, if necessary, every
year. Kinplojes with ncntlouK due
them would lie allowed to carry tljlrty
days' vacation over Into 1020, but if
they did this they could not accumulate
vacation time in 1020.

Hy the Associated I'rcss
Buffalo, Nov. 12. The American
people nrc growing, impatient with for
eign agitators and uhless their ntti
t lido changes, the door that has always
been open to l.urope may be shut, Her
bert Hoover declared here today in an
address at the convention of Americans
of Polish ancestry.
Mr. Hmncr outlined the progress of
the Polish people l emitting from .the
establishment of free government, told
tlie audience what they jould do to
maintain tho now Polish lepublic nnd
eminded them-of their duties to the
country of-thejr adoption.
".Many foolish ideas me being circil-
Inted -among the foreign -born popu
lation of the I'nitcd States," Mr.
Mooter said. ".Many of these foreign-
bor" uri' mteiestmg themselves ill the
people are fast losing patience with this
attitude. It may develop out of this
that tlio 'open door' toward Kuropc will
be in a laigc measure closed. Worse
than this," he added, "there may de
velop a prejudice against every speaker
of a foreign language in the United
States. It creates prejudice against ex
tending aid to those countries iu Kuropc
from which our foieigti-born popula
tions spiing."
Anj needed leforms in tho United
States would be turried out by those
whose parents have giown up amid our
institutions and those who have become
in sentiment and spirit a part of our
people.

Washington. N 12. The Plumb
plan is iu difficulties. The railroad bill
will puss the House of Heprosentatives
this week, providing for the return of
the inilioads to private ovvneiship. It
is nlso expected that in some form the
House bill will pass the Senate within
a fortniglt. And jet not a word is
heard about the Plumb plan.
The agitation which was so a'-tivo in
September has become silent, nppaicntly
the Plumb Plan League is going to let
the railroads go back to their former
owners without a word of protest. I he
work of orcniilising the countrv is going
on. but it is nut i'lir whnt will be done
with the oigani.ation when it is per
fected. . , ,
AYith the railroads just back in pri
vate hands, tho question of their future
will hardb be nil issue in the mining
national campaign. The coiiutrj will
certainly give private owneiship "'"'

of government ownership.
The moment Is n bail one for the
Plumb plan loadeis and along with the
defects which organized labor has suf

radical movements like the riiimn:
movements. The league is under the
control of the rnilwnj brotherhood
loadeis and the counsel of the brother
hood leaders is to go ahead (autiouslj.
The radicals who are active in be
half of the Plumb plan me restive

self, who has been on the road oiganu
ing tho country, is reported to bo dis

ington to decide what will bo the future
of tho league.
Advocates Iise Heart
The author of the plan is reported
to have been discouraged for a long
time. The carl.v agitation for tho plan
and the threat of i evolution produced
n reaction in the public wliieh sar
in I sed and disappointed Mr. Plumb and
Mr Stone and disturbed the other bro

Sugar Shortage Results 111 ram-'

HALF-POUND RATION STAYS
Collided with the announcement tn -
daj that weekly allotments of oue-linlt
pound of sugar per family vtill be con
tinued it wns learned that hundreds of
fnmilles aic using sjrup for their cof
fee and tea.
In some instances it was found that
children were buying cheap jellies fori
sweetening their domestic drinks.
Rationing Continues
The dooision to maintain the weekly
sugar "allow ance" was learned after
a visit to several of the largo estab
lishments denling in sugar nnd n talk
with John A. McCarthy, of tho Sugar
totalization Board.
Incidentally, the approval by United
States Attorney (ionoral A. Mitchell
Palmer of seventeen cents a pound for
raw sugar and eighteen cents a pound
for sugar made from the
Louisiana
crop, aroused much criticism among
dealers.
Nevertheless Mr. MeCnithj said it
would be unfair to criticise Mr. Palmer
In this connection, lie said tho high
pi Ice mentioned was probablt nsked bv
the Louisiana planters and it is possi
ble there was no alternative for tho at
torney general.
"Mr. Palmer has piobabl) done du
llest he could under the circumstances,"
lie added.
Little Belief From licet Crop . j
Askcd if there would be nn relief,
from the present shortage through the I
Doot sugar crop .vir. .McCarthy said that
a quantity of licet sugar might In
obtained for the custom district, which
includes Philadelphia, but that this
allotment would only fill temporal-)
wants.

Spokesmen for the minors said today

through adoption of a now scale to take

"The need for coal by consumers
other than the railroads began to be
felt on November (i, although before
that time some eon had been released
on n showing that it was needed," said
Mr. llines.
"In the period from November 0 to
November I) a total of 2,(i."i."i,000 tons ot
bituminous coal, or an average of (HKI,.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 12. By A.
P.) The two outstanding points of in
terest in the coal mining situation today
woio the reception h.t tho members of
the United .Mine AA'orkors of America of
the order of their chiefs calling off the
strike and tho probable outcome of the
confcience of Illinois' representatives
and nperutors with Secretary AA'ilson in
