"It is the most definite and authori tative plan that has come before us," said Otorge Wharton Pepper today, re ferring to the proposal made Saturday by Dr. Thomas E. rioegan. state su perintendent of public instruction. Mr. Pepper is chairman of the trus tees' committee on University policy. "The plan is perfectly feasible." con tinued Mr. Pepper, "If the various gov erning bodies would agree to it." Holding Conferences The committee on University policy, Mr. Pepper stated, has been holding extensive conferences for the lost two months with n view to "testing the judgment of nil sorts of minds" on the University's future policy. No policy has been formulated jet, hut It is hoped to have a report ready this spring. "Doctor Kincgan's is one of several propositions being considered." Mr. Pepper stated. "There is nlways the possibility of letting things go as they are. Then there is always the nossi- billty of organising exclusively on a basis of private support and private some such plan as Doctor I-Incgan con templates, and which would consider a degree of central control co-cxtensive with the amount of state aid received." Urges Doctor SmlUi to Stay Doctor Finegan, before outlining his plan at the closing session of the school men's week convention, turned to Pro vost Smith and urged him to remain at the University. Doctor Smith has pio-i-cnted his resignation. Mr. Pepper was nsked today if he believed the state superintendent's re quest would influence Doctor Smith to ire"Ancommittee of the trustees." he said, "was appointed to wait on Doctor Smith and urge him to reconsider his resignation. What Doctor Finegan said dimply was emphasizing that request and indicates that the views of all are in nccord with the mutter. But I hnvc no reason to think that Doctor Smith will chnngc his mind."

Every local crew that came into Brond street re ported to the bureau. In most instnnces some of the crew were missing, the absentees having gone out All names and other data were taken down at the "6trike bureau" and short crews filled as rapidly as possible. Strike at Gray's Ferry The switchmen and yardmen at CJrays Ferry went on strike at 7 o'clock. There, as in other yards of the Penn sylvania Railroad, freight moved onl by the efforts of volunteer crews as sisting the men who remained at work. The first train for New York was started from Broad Street Station at 8 o'clock. It had been necessary to ennui the 8:38 nnd 8:51 trains, as well as the 7 o'clock train. Earlier tiains likewise were first merged and then can celed One train, specially made up for the emergency and sent out of Broad street at .1:05 o'clock, went only as far as North Philadelphia. Then it was found that the crew did not comply with Inter state commerce regulations, and the train was withdrawn.

Congestion of freight nnd passenger trains caused inconvenience in the early nnitrs. do great was tne congestion in r ning of the long shed and walk in Freight congestion on the Pennsylva nia, as well as other roads, offered more serious problems than passenger delays.

Many Avoid Trains Passenger traffic was not as hcavyns usual, because many of the regular rid ers had expected the tlc-up to be serious after reading the newspaper reports and got up earlier today to ride Mo work by trolley. Ixjng-distaucc service was normal. A train from San Francisco arrived at the Reading Terminal only four minutes late. The Reading felt the strike most in its big freight yards at Port Richmond. It Is to these jards that much of tho anthracite coal hauled by the line comes. It also is a clearing place for rmsccl innnnns freicht. including much pcrish- I able stuff. Many of the jard worners tailed to appear'thcre this morning. It was esti mated that about 400 switchmen, yard men and members of eighteen shifting crews were out at the Huntingdon HAt nwl TiArt Tt1rfimnrrl rnrds. About 700 men failed to report at outlying points on the Reading. The Ttenflinc strikers announced they would handle perishable freight at tho Port Richmond yards. Also they said thev would handle coal consigned to the Philadelphia Electric Co.. so that the city would not be in darkness. They would not handle other coal, they de- c'ard .. .... At the various Reading yards freight was handled by "scratch" crews, made up in part of office men and other emer gency workers. Yardniastcr Galvln, of the Port Richmond yard, himself took out an engine to help move the strings of coal cars waiting there. Ships Held in Port Two ships at tho Port Richmond piers loading grain and wood for export can not sail because of Insufficient coal in their bunkers. The strike has blocked delivery of fuel to the vessels. TO CARRY PHILA. FOOD ON DELAWARE RIVER The Delaware river will prove an es pecially valuable asset to Philadelphia in view of the strike of the railroad men. Realizing that the strike may continue for some time, local commission mcr- ' shipments will be made through the Del 'aware and Rarltan canal and northward through the Delaware and Chesapeake Plans to orgnnizc river shipping, us- inc tho smaller craft, have already been perfected, and more than fifty skippers of small schooners and sloops, besides a score of motorboat men, have been lined up to bring produce by water to the city commission men. "Wo nre ready to handle Jersey and Delaware produce to Philadelphia if the farmers or regular shippers will get it to the water's edge or us." said Neil Connelly, skipper of the Lucy B.. one of the largest schooners on the river, last night, alter he had been in consultation with representa tives of the commission men. "There nre about 100 schooners nnd sloops on the river, besides some hun dred power boats. It makes a good fleet, and there is no leaton why they cannot all be engaged in the business if necessary. "So far ns expense is concerned, we are not holding anbody up. The handi cap we labor under is shortago of hands, but most of the boats can be handled with a crew of two or three men. Many of the schooners have been carrying crushed rock and building ma terials for Delaware concerns building highways. They will be quick to get away from that. lor it is hard ou boats." According to Captain Connelly, there are sixty-nv.' landings on the Jersey river side where produce can be loaded. all of them with good farming districts back of them. They extend from just below Trenton to the Capes. All of them nre reached by state h chwava. The roads ore in good condition, it is said, and as the great majority of Jer sey farmers own motortrucks, little difficulty will be experienced in getting produce to the river. Conditions in Delaware, he said, are less promising, although there are more than n dos.rn loading points between Wilmington and Lewes.

Contjnurd from PssV One the men were overflowing into the hall nnd stairway. In the crowd were conductors, engi neers, brnkemen, switchmen nnd shop men, affiliated wjth the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, the switchmen's uniomand other organizations. Hcilenman assumed control of the meeting, and a .committee was appointed in an ante-chamber which, it was said, would formulate demands for the strikers, to be submitted to them this afternoon, and Inter to the railroads. Hcilenman said the purpose of the meeting was to reach n definite plan in regard to wage scales and working con ditions, some of which have already been announced. "I have been asked who our leader is."i said Hcilctimau. "I waut to say that we hae no leader at present. "We nre not out on a strike," he continued. "We simply quit our jobs and that's all there is to it. We want you all to stick together until condi tions arc better. "Do not intimidate n brother, nnd do not violate the Lever act, for if jou do you violate the constitution. Don't ask a mnn to go out on strike. Leave it to his conscience. "If his conscience does not tell him to quit we do not want him." Hcilenman wound up his speech by reiterating the injunction to preserve orderliness and respect for the law. Other speakers, who followed him. said men in the roundhouses and yards on the outskirts of Philadelphia were quitting work at intervals. Appear ance of the men in their working clothes substantiated his assertions. By 11:80 o'clock Grand Fraternity Hall had become so crowded that steps were taken for an overflow meeting. Jsames of the meniDejrs of tho com mittee appointed privately to formulate demands for the strikers were not given out. Lost night meetings were held in halls at Thirty-ninth street and Lancaster avenue and at Fifty-second Btrect and Glrard avenue and at other points yesterday. The strike sentiment was very strong. It was decided to campaign actively among employes of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to induce them to join the wholesale walkout. The men in sist they are not striking but quitting. This is done to prevent an anti-strike injunction. Men of the authorised railroad brotherhoods were relied ou to fight the "outlaw" strike, but most of them have thrown their passive, if not active, support to the walkout. Sentiment at all the meetings was strong against the officers of tho grand lodge who have accepted the several government proposals for pay adjust ments for tbo men. Chairmen andfxecutlvn councils of Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and Station Employes; Brotherhood of Sta tionary Engineers, Firemen and Oilers and Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes in the Philadelphia dls. trict decided on n walkout today nt a meeting last night in K. of P.

Erhard, general chairman for the Penn sylvania system for the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks; John Murray, general chairman of the Brotherhood of Sta tionary Engineers, Firemen and Oilers, and Frank Collier, general chairman on the P. R. It. system for the Brother hood of Slalntennnce or way Em ployes, delivered addresses in the after noon. The meeting followed one of the Philadelphia and Camden advisory boards of the federations at Thirty third and Chestnut streets. The ac tion taken at this executive session covered resolutions adopted by all the unions' officials declaring the strike on the railroads to be unauthorized. The resolutions, however, declare the offi cials as believing that cessation of work by the men is "largely due to the un fairness on the part of the Pennsylva nia Railroad with respect to settling grievances nnd proper rates of pay und nsklng for the dismissal of twelve of ficials of the Pennsylvania, suggested as un aid to the solution of the labor troubles."

Board at Once Continued from ri One vanced wages, and disgusted with the conservatism of their leaders on the ground of their half-hearted fight for the Plumb plan ond readiness to yield to the government's demand for time before settling the question of advanced wages. The situation is full of politics. The American Federation of Labor will hold its convention at Montreal in nbout six weeks. Gompers will have tho fight of his life there to maintain his control, which, In spite of the defeat of the radi cals In the steel strike and in the coal strike, is steadily slipping. Breathing Spell Afforded The administration is likely to take stens which will aid Gompers. or at nny rate which will not old the radicals against him, if it can find out what these steps should be. The appointment of a labor board under the railroad law and its inquiry will give the administra tion and also the heads of the American Federation breathing spell. They will havo an opportunity to find out where they stand and what they should do. The strike has taken them by surprise. The strike Is golnir to be one of the big political events of tho season. So will be the Montreal convention of the American Federation, which is timed just to precede the Republican conven tion at Chicago. Issue Must Be Faced The strike reveals a sharp line of cleavage between radical and conserva tive which it may bo impossible to dis regard in the coming national cam paign. It may figure In the Ohio primaries, where the brotherhood leaders are for General Wood against Senator Hard ing ou the ground of Senator Harding's , POLISH MINISTER GREETED BY MAYOR Give your file clerk a course in filing Send one of your bright girls to our school.

In spite of the difficulties of wrltlug In candidates' nnmes there ap pears considerable force In the Illinois movement. Johnson .May Stir Ohio In Ohio Johnson's name may be brought into the campaign by the use of plasters. If it is. the imoetus 'which this radical outburst in railroad labor will give to tho Johnson movement there cannot bo estimated. Johnson is sraduallv brine forced Into the posi tion of representing the tnore radical J spirit In the Kcpubllcan party, if tne division widens sufficiently no one can predict whut will come at the Chicago convention. Whether Gompers wins or not ot Mon treal will influence the Republican con vention. If Gompers wins it will mean that his policy of delivering the labo" vote to the candidates who are laborers' friends will prevail nnd the Republican party will probably make a nomination nnd formulato a platform, which, nt least, will not alienate organized labor. If the radicals win it will mean that the whole Gompers policy goes. Another Split Possible The 'independent labor party move ment will gain great strength. And the temptation of the radical elements to split off from the two old parths will be great. Something will depend upon the strength the Johnson candidacy devel ops between now and June 8. There are men In the Republican organization. conservative, antl -Johnson leaders, who believe that Johnson is about to repeat what Roosevelt did in the primaries of 101". when he astonished everybody by his rcvelntton of the forces of discon- ,' tent within tho party. ! They sneak of Johnson ns "the man ' of tho hour." They fear that the radi cnl showing in Michigan and Wisconsin wns not local and exceptional, but think that everywhere Johnson will develop great strength amoug industrial ele ments angered at the high cost of living and at the covcrnment use of the in junctive process In the coal strike.
