Tho Darker plan, Mr. Fluck nsscrtcd. would carry no force with It and havo little or no effect on the underlying rcntalB. On the other hand, if tho lines were run by the city, such a plan would enrry force with it and the underlying rentals would be modified, Fluck concluded. A resolution was presented by tho North Philadelphia realty board op posing nny change In the present rato until such time, ns the valuation of tho P. It.

Logan Men Hack Mitten Acceptance nf the Mitten plan was advocated by Oeorge O. Uhlrlch, chair man of the transportation committee of the Logan Improvement Association. Mr. Uhlrlch pointed out the financial situation of the company nnd said ho believed that something should be done to glvo temporary relief. "I do believe, however," said Mr. Uhlrlch, "that Mr. Mitten should havo presented hucIi a plan a ear ago. Mr. Mitten says that the company might be thrown Into bankruptcy unless 1m med'ato financial relief Is offered. "I do not see how this could oomo about, but Mr. Mitten is a competent executive aud has brought about results. I have faith In what he says. I do believe that this committee, however, has no jurisdiction in the matter, and that it ultimately will be up to the Public Service Commission.

"It wouldn't mnke any difference. It would mean only n change In Icterheads. If necessary, the Union Traction Co. would run the lines." Councilman Devdin. addressing Mr. Anderson, said: Uno ot the arguments used in favor of tho five-cent fare is. that it would prevent a receivership, is that Kiithcicnt argument in your opinion to bring about a change?" "I do not think so." replied Mr. An derson. "It is not unusual for compnn IfS to go into a receiver's hands to pro tect its assets." Mitten's Kcglmo Reviewed Mr. Anderson said he thought the whole question should be settled by the Public Servlrc Commission. The declaration tlint Mr. Mitten was u-nrkine for tin- financial interests of the city nnd not for tho clthons or the! employes of the company wns innde by John V. Lewis, of the Cliveden Im provement Association. Mr. Lewis gave n lengthy review of the company's condition during the Mitten management. He cited the numerous raises in pay which have been given the men nnd said that the P. It. T., despite these increases had mndo enough money to pay all its obligations. He said the real trouble was caused bv the exorbitant underlying rentals. He asserted that the men who had for gone their Inst Increase were mnre loyal to the compnnv thuti the stockholders of the underlying companies, who re fused to recede a step regarding their rentals. Mr. Lewis gave n number nf figures which he sold showed that the com pany could have built the Fruukford elevated as far back us 1000, during which yenr the P. H. T. made $0, 000,000. Past Profits Recalled In the year 1012, he said, the P. R. T. made 22,000,000 over and uobvc a tl per cunt return. This money, he snld, would, have been sufficient to build the Frnnkford "L." the pro posed Darby "I." nnd the Chestnut street subway. Mr. Lewis t-ahi that Mr. Mlttcn'was unfair and he hiUI, in seeking to sup port this contention, that Mr. Mitten proposed a new company last August under tho consolidation plnu. Ho want ed to unite the underlying companies lu oui) big company. And yet, snld Mr. Lewis. Mr. Mit ten proposed to pay the Philadelphia Traction Co. 8 per cent, ns now, and the same rntc to tho Union Traction Co. Mr. Lewis told of the dividends which were paid to the underlying com panies. He said that 7 per cent is the usual nnmial return on such in vestments, nnd that about $7,000,000 nnnually should be paid to them Insteud of $11,000,000. That extra $4,000, 000 would make an Increase unneces sary oud also take care of ninny Im provements. "I aJt Council to refuse approval of the proposed increase in fare," ho Mild.

Carmen Aro Heard Joseph Young, n conductor for tho P. It. T., spoke on behalf of the car men. Ho admitted that it would be nec essary to eliminate the underlying com panies "Incubus" but that It might be ii long process. He added his belief Council had jurisdiction in tho matter nnd expressed the hope they would net favorably on the company's latest fare plan, "If we wait until the question comes beforo tho Public Service Commission," said loung, "we will hnve chaos. If the P. II. T. goes into the hands of a re ceived It Is hardly likely that tiie samo good servlco would be obtulmsl from thu men ns now." At this point Councilman Von Tngcn uroso to his feet. "I have heard a lot about this chaos," Von Tngcn shouted. "What do you mean my It? This word has been Injected repeatedly into this proceeding."

The meeting wns colled hurriedly to end talk nf a strike against tho public, that had been urged liv firebrands in the ranks of the men. Carmen, impatient at the delay iu getting the higher fare thnt would enable the company to pay them the back wages to which they ore enti tled, thought to bring the fare question to a "showdown" by tnklng a "vaca tion" ns a protest against continued delay in the consideration of tho higher faro proposal now before Council. Mr. Mitten urged the men not to strike or do anything to inconvenience the riding public. He told them of his plans for the appeal to the public, and nut his proposal up to them for approval. The meu who unanimously approved the plan wcro instructed to inform their associates of the manner in which the appeal to the public would bo made. Officials pointed to the fact that $.'1000 had been collected from persons who refused to accept transfers when the company first rhtt the no-transfer, no-exchnngo up to Council. They snid they expected the plea today to result iu the daily receipts being greatly in creased. In addition, other plans to tide the company over the present diffi culty are being considered.

This announcement wns made by Mr. Hoyne just before he left this city to conduct personally the Investicntiou in Chicago begun by his assistants in his nbsoncc. Mr. Hoyne intimnted thnt tho evl dencp upon which the Cook county grand jury hnd found the indictments against eight of the White Sox players and two gnmhiers might not prove suf ficient to gain n conviction except in the cases of the players who confessed. Hut with the Information furnished by the two New York men, he said, tho case becomes much stronger. This information tallies with that contained in the confessions of the piny rrs ns printed in tho newspapers. Mr. Hoyne will hnve to examine tho court and grand jury records to determine just what value It will be toward the return of additional 'indlctmcntr. He intends to place the information before the grand jury Just ns soon ns he reaches Chicago. The two men are willing to testify, he snld. Explaining his presence In New York, Mr. Hoyne said he hnd been working up evidence for ninny months, but be lieved It was not in sufficient shape to seek the return of indictments, so In structed his nsslKtants to rest while he took a few days' vacation. He emtio here with his wife, arriving last Thurs day, aud stopped ot the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, lie Intended to return to Chicago on Tuesday, he said, but on Monday the proceedings were stnrted by hi) osslstnnts. He was surprised, he said, to sec wlint evidence had devel oped in his absence to justify starling the proceeding, but added: "The in vestigation is in capable hands." While he did not come to New York especially to seek evidence. Mr. Hoyne said, he realized that the information received from the two New York men would be of grent value n the prose cution, so he Is hurrying back to pre sent it to the grand jury. The information did tint come, lie said, from Abe Attell whose name has been mentioned in the confessions of several of the plovers, nor from Ar nold ltothstcin. He snid he did mil see either nf these men nnd had heard nothing concerning them except the assurances of one visitor thnt Rnth Ktein had absolutely nothing to do with the matter. Earlier In the day William J. Fallon, counsel for Attell, said this in behalf (if his client : ''When this case first came up Abe g",!,, Attell was looked upon as a real ill's er. Now it simmers down nml lie I is iKilliinr; nt all. And if he is indicted ii iiuiiiiiji; iti. mil iutt ii in a juwii ii ii , , , . nerfectlv williue to K qu""tl5ns Ul.,iinml nn Immediate tiial and be vln- diciited. as I nin sure eventually he will be vindicated. He will not stop to seek vindication now by means of nny state ments in reply to attacks i;i owing out of personnl grievances. "When he goes to Chicago, if he is called, he will be confronted bv eight different stories of eight diffcient men. which I do not believe will stand up befnre n jury. If they nlmuilmi their criminal proceedings iu Chlcngo because nf their inability tn find n law to over the 'situation, then Attell will make n statement to vindicate himself squarely befnie tho public." " Harding Condemns Ignoring of 'Dry' Act (ontlmird fr-jm Tone One a new administration nf national af fairs. Adverting to agriculture, Senator Hnrding snid : "I desire particularly to emphasize the need of safeguarding the prosperity of the American farmer so that he may compete with industry in obtaining labor. I nm hearing constantl) voices - .." S n , Zv n ,',.,i f ., ,,.. ,.,., .., tt.iiiit;. .'it .ill- lii.iun ill be labor, normal labor, available to farm as well us factor . "One of tho Important oiganizations , under a department of nubile wel- i fare might well be the children's bureau which now exists, but whoso work, nlr'endy proved so useful, must be extended nnd made still more ca pable. It is for us a grim jest. Indeed, that the federal government is spending twice as much money for the suppres sion of hog cholera ns It spends for its entire program for the welfare of tint American child. "Our death rate, especially among th children, is to high," asserted Senator I larding, and he outlined a program, already greatly advuueed by Republican effort, to prevent abuses of child labor. "When We first legislated to remedy these abuses," ho said, "npproxlmotely one out of five children between tho ages of ten and fifteen in tho United States were wnge-eurners. do not say that among them there were not many exceptions, whoso labors were of such a nature as to fit them to become better men and women, but I do say that iu tlie mnss their labor represented the theft of their right tn childhood, to happiness, to health and of their right to prepare to embrace our emial op portunity, to realize for America their capacity and worth as future citizens. This condition we could not neglect, and we canot neglect the problems of child labor iu this country." Labor's Claim to Justice Preservation of tho national health, through agencies of tho proposed De partment of Public Welfare, was de clared a vitul need of tho country, and iu discussion of the labor problem ns es sentially linked to the soelul justice which he championed, Senator Harding said : "I havo stated my full belief In labor unionism and in the practice of col tlective bargaining, and I have also tried to emphasize a belief, which 1 feel ueepiy, mat industrial peace, though. 1 ui mi uin iiuiivi. iuuii mii'l'iJ i -a. in i (iiiini J! OCTOfeER 1, .1020 may' be attained by adjustment and conciliation, can never staud upon its firmest foundation until n higher sense of loyalty to tho task permeates the worker, and n higher sense of humanl tnrlnn brotherhood permeates the em ployers of America. "I do not think of this reawakening of n higher conscience upon both sides in terms of generalities, and I regard it as being one of the humane functions of which our government Is capable to saturate the industrial life of our coun try with n spirit which will tend to reunite parties of discord. "One measure of social justice nnd social welforo not often catalogued in this manner, hut perhaps more im portant than any we have considered, is the enforcement of lnw. It will not bo my business when elected to decide what the laws shall be. It will be legitimate for me to invoke public opin ion for their enactment, but such a call to public opinion must be based more upon the duty of the executive of the nation to give fncts to the people than upon his desire to give opinion, theory nnd propaganda. "The enforcement of law is an ex ecutive responsibility and must be undertaken by the executive without record for his nersonnl nnnrovnl or dis approval of tho lnw, which it has been tho people's will to enact. Whatever your achievement may be in tho world, your concern, as mine, is principally with tho American home nnd you, with me, will renllze that wo must have throughout the land a respect for law abiding principles. "We must all condemn without qual ification the failure of enforcement of prohibition, just as we must all con demn the failure of established author ity to prevent outrages of violence, such ns lynching. No Fear of "Solemn Referendum" Concluding with n reference to the nation's foreign relations, Senator Harding said : "I have so much faith In the rare good sense of American womanhood, so much confidence In the Intelligence of the women of America, that I do not fear their finnl judgment In the 'solemn referendum' on the course of our nation in its foreign relationships. "It should require more than the mere assertion of those who promised, but utterly failed, to keep America out of the war, to convince thoughtful men or thoughtful women that the additional signature of the United States to tho Paris covenant will keep the world out of w'nr. "One Is either a very brave, or a very foolish, man or woman who would favor the execution of n mortgage, pledging the humnn nnd material re sources of the United Stntes to an en terprise, not only doubtful, but more capable of breeding war thnn of pre serving pence. "I do not believe In n mortgaged America. We shall do our full share in the rehabilitation of war-worn and war-torn Europe. But I want jto do it as a free-will offering in such measure and at such time as we may onrselvcs determine. 1 do not want to put ourselves nnd nil we possess In pawn, pledged to nn adventure, the extent of which, and the end of which no man can foresee. The Difference "Here is the difference between our opponents and ourselves. There is no difference between us in our desire to help. Rut those who seek to induce America to join the Paris league would have us pledge ourselves body nnd soul. We nnd the American people, the fntheis, sons, wives, daughters and mothers, reject the hazard of foreclosure on America at the will of others. We' intend to hold our resources in our own hands to be given, not taken. It is for us to keep our conscience and our honor nn our own hearths. "Upon thnt principle, nnd because our conscieii"e and our hnnor nro still ours, I favor an association of free na tions, and I caie not what It be called or who has furnished the name. "I know that the mothers nnd wives of America do not wish to give their sous nnd husbands for sacrifice at the call of an extra -constitutional body like the council of the Paris league. 1 know that the mothers and wives of America will give them only KJMjrATIONAI.
