HAS "DATE" HERE, HE SAYS
Mayor Moore wns Invited tndnv to
go with the rennsylvnnla Hnrdlng
Coolldge traveling men's committee to
call on Senator Hordlngmt Marlon, O.,
on October 25.
Another organization nt Republican
traveling men, which until recently wns
In kceu rivalry with the committee thnt
called on tho Mayor, will go to Marlon
at the same time, nnd it is possible thnt
this second organization will Invite the
Mnyor nlso.
The Mayor told the delegation that n
previous engagement to attend the
women's great cclebrntlon In honor of
suffrage In Independence Square would
prevent hlrf; golns. lie thanked them,
however, nnd snld thnt he would (.end
Doctor Cnttcll. the city statistician, in
his n'ace, nnd would give them n per
sonal letter to Senator Harding.
The two commlttcs were organized by
a curious oversight, caused by the press
of business at national headquarters In
New York. T. Coleman dtt Pont is iu
charge of traveling men's organizations
nt headquarters. There Is a Nutlonnl
Traveling Men's Association, orgnnlzed
under the nuspIccH of the national com
mittee, nnd the I'ennsylvnnln vice presi
dent of this body is John 1 I,. Morris,
a widely known Philadelphia business
man.
Some weeks ngo Senator Penrose
Kent for Mr. Morris nnd asked him to
undertake the organization of the lVnu.
sylvnnln committee, which he did. .After
consulting win u. liuys. the nntionnl
chairman, in New York, Mr. Morris got
busy and began his organization.
About the hnme time V. K. Auer,
another Philadelphia business man nnd
Hnrdlng enthusiast, got Into the game,
nnd was nppolnted by Mr. flu Pont to
net as chairman for Pennsylvania.
The two organizations became rivals
from the first, and for n time it looked
ng though there would be some bitter
ness, ns Senntor Penrose was strongly
iu favor of Mr. Morris.
Mr. Auer appeared nt City Hull in
advance of the. time fixed for the inter
view with the Mayor, and announced
thnt considerable oil had been spilled
on the troubled waters.
He said ho und Mr. Morris had fore
gathered at luncheon nnd digested tlieir
differences, and would henceforth work
in hurmony. though sMll Independently.
In opening the conference with the
Mnyor, Mr. Auer said that In Inviting
the Mnyor to head the delegation the
traveling men were moved by rCason
of the Mayor's deep interest In indus
ti In matter.
"We hove no doubt thnt Sonator
Harding will be elected," said Mr.
Auer. "Wo wnnt him tc know how
sincerely anxious Philadelphia busincs
men are thnt he shall be elected and
how vital it Is to every industry of this
city thnt the presejit socialistic govern
ment at Washington be supplanted by
a renl business administration."
Mr. Auer also invited the Mayor to
attend tho luncheon for traveling men
to bo held next Monduy at tlie Hcllc-vue-Stratford.
The Mayor replied that
ho would be glad to attend.

Hoth the administration lonn bill nnd

Gaffney Rill Ignored ,
Frnncls F. llurch. chnlrmnii of the
finance committee, who Introduced tho
ndiulnlhtrntlnn loan bill providing for
a loan of 27.000.000, wns informed
before tho meeting that n mimeographed
list of hills to be' oonsldeid nt this
nftcrnoon's meeting did not include the
Gnffncy measure which was btibmitted
last week in anticipation of the ad
ministration bill.
"Does thnt menn thnt the Gnffney
bill will not be considered by the finance
committee?" Mr. llurch wns nsked.
"It certainly docs not," he replied.
"Hoth the Gnrfiiev and administration
measures will bo considered."
Neither the Gnffncy bill nor the ad
ministration bill, which the Mnyor
helped whip into shnpc, contulns nny
provision for the purchase of street
cleaning cqnipTnent by the city, in ac
cordance with the city charter.
It Is believed thnt one ot the loan
bills will bo approved by the finance
committee this afternoon.
The Mavor was asked If he had any
stntement to make concerning the bids
received yesterday for contract street
cleaning in 1021, or on the general 'sit
uation.
Not Statement at Present
"No," he said. "I have no statement
to make, nnd will probably make none
today on this subject at least. Director
Caven has n mnss of figures which I
hnvo not s.eon. I can't talk about the
matter until I confer with him."
At tho burenu of street cleaning It
wns stnted thnt the cpnttactors' bids,
proposals for now Rtrcet olcnnlng equip
ment, should tho city tnke over the
work, and offers of the contractors for
the sale of their equipment to the city
nre now being scheduled.
It wns said that no ostimnte of the
probable cost to the city of the old
equipment of the contractors would be
mnde today, but might be uvnllablc to
morrow. The street cleaning problem is now
squnre'y before the Mayor, It was
pointed out. because of the ills'" bids
for street cleaning which werf received
by Director Caven yesterday. Tho bids.
It wns asserted by city officials, showed
that the contract system for 1021 would
cost more thnn the system of cleaning

by municipal forces. Another problem
to be considered nt the conference today
will be garbage collection nnd disposal
for next year. No bids wcro received
for this work, but Director Caven snld
ho expected to solve tho problem within
the next few days,
Caven Is Satisfied
In nn Interview today previous to
his conference with tho Mnyor, Direc
tor Cnvcn Bald :
"At tlie meeting of Council next
Tuesday I expect to tnnko a statement
wjilch I think will not only bo interest
ing but also satisfactory in regard to
the position jbf the department in tho
matter of street cleaning."
Tho director ndded thnt lie wns "per
fectly satisfied" with the results of the
bidding yesterday. In some quarters
there was a suggestion that the city
would enter the field of municlpnl
street cleaning in n limited fashion for
next year.
"The result of the bidding should bo
clearly evident when coupled with tho
plans for partial municipal operation
next year," said one official closely con
nected with the sltuntlon. "Senator
Vnre has submitted very high and un
contested bids for his districts. If tho
plan for inaugurating municlpnl street
cleaning nud garbage collection in one
or more districts should ho ndontod. It
Svould bo natural that tho districts
chosen for the experiment would be
those showing the most excessive bids.
As compared with tho Vnre bids, com
parative figures in tlin Department of
Public Works show tho low bids for the
West Philadelphia Districts Nos. 1 nnd
2 arc under those of this yenr."
Won't Give I-Mlmato
Although officials declined to state
tho estimated cost of municlpnl opera
tion, which they said was apart from
the cost of obtaining equipment, they
said, nevertheless, that It was less than
the aggregate of tho low bids of tho
street-cleaning contractors.
That acgregate exceeds the total of
the contracts for the cleaning of streets
and the collection of nshes and rubbish
for the present year by $1.0.'1.",000. Tho
low bids for next year total $,"i,:iSl,
002.88. The contracts for this year
amount to $1,310,001.
