THEY RISE TO PROTEST
Noncollege Men In Council Sore at
Mr. Develin
Some nf our coiuicilmen seemed
peevish today because of u statement at
tributed to Councilman Develin that
Council would be more efficient if it
included more tollege men. Mr. Dot din
was quoted us having made this re
mark last night nt a banquet of Wes
lenti alumni.
"I rather think." said Ilichard Weg
leiii. president nf Council, "that the
best men in public life are those who
have won diplomas in the si hool of
life."
Charles II Hull. Vine lender of
Council, suit : "We may have our dif
ferences in Council, uml we can settle
our honest differences there, hut it is
in had taste for n mini in go on the
outside and criticize his colleagues in
the legislative body."
"There should not he any trouble
getting college men to run for Council,
because o many of them nre out of
jobs." mnl Councilmnn Limeburner.
Mr. Develin said his remarks luid
been misinterpreted. lie did not clnim
superiority for the college man In Coun
cil, lie explained today. On the con
Iran he said there were a number of
membeis fully the peers of the threw or
four lollege men in all that concerns
the nun In nl business of Council.
M n t. he went on. "is Hint
lege men do not nssumn their right-
ful obligations us trained men nnd arc
not the leaders in such mutters us they
might to be. My expeiience is thnt col
lege men nre not using their training
lis ihev should in advancing the city's
interest through participation in public

sumed Bofore Conference
on April 22
RADICAL LEADERS STUNNED
Ily the Associated Press
Ijondnn, April 10. A conference be
tween delegates of the Miners' Federa
tion of Great Britain nnd representa
tives from nil coal districts in the
United Kingdom nt which the conl
utrlke Munition will lie considered, was
today fixed for next Friday. In the
meantime work will not be resumed in
any of the conl fields affected by the
miners' strike.
Labor forces nre today nppnrcntly
broken Into sections as a result of the
refusal of the National 1'nlon of Rail
wnymen nnd the National Federation of
Transport Workers yesterday to con
tinue their support of the strike called
by the miners April 1.
Labor's Heaviest Defeat
Opinion prevails in some quarters
that the action of the rnllrond work
ers nnd the transport men means the
death wnrrnnt of the "Triple Alliance."
This view is not held universally, but.
without doubt, the split which developed
yesterdny will have n serious cfTcct upon
the rank nnd file of labor.
"Yesterdnv wns the heaviest defeat
that hns befallen labor within the mem
oryof man," begins the Laborite Her
ald's comment on the Fcnsatlouat break
away of the rifilroad men and transport
workers. "It Is nn use trying to mini
mize it. The workers have not stood
together, and they have reaped Ihc re
ward." Break Angers Extremists
"The old machinery has failed," the
Herald concludes. "We must start
afresh nnd get n machine that will
work, nnd develop n new spirit. This is
not the end. it Is the beginning."
The London Times gives n graphic ac
count of what happened at the fateful
meeting of the "Triple Alliance" jes
terilny. "The proceedings developed," says nn
eje-witness quoted by the Times, "into
the biggest circus ever seen. Extremists
of nil sections tried hard to keep the
battle flag unfurled, nnd O. T. Cramp,
president of the Itnllwaymen's Union,
led in the attempt to secure postpone
ment instead of cancellation of the
strike.
"When it became evident the break
was coming, the nnger of the rndicnl
was unbounded."
TEACHING T00FRILLY
School System Wrong, Educator
Says Does Not Make Leaders
The modern public school system
takes in too many frills ami furbe
lows nnd too little practical ttaining.
nccordlng to B. A. Kline, head of
continuation classes nt Central High
School.
He expressed his opinion today nt
the Inst of a scries of conferences among
vocational tralnllng teachers of the city
atl en t nl High School.
"Ve nre not teaching children to
think as they ought," he snid. "The
present system Is trying to take in
too muili. including much that be
longs in the home."
Ho snid present day trainiing did not
make lenders of the children, nnd,
If It continued In the same way woull
tend toward making anarchists. Be
lief in thnnselies nnd in their ability
to do things should be taught, he said.

GIVES CITY MORE POWER
CotincUmnn Develin called on nil
business associations and women voters'
organizations todnv to get back of the
Senate bill broadening the powers of
the City Transit Department, asserting
tho bill wan being held In committee by
Senator Vnre.
As chairman of the Senate municipal
affairs committee Senator Vnre declared
the measure would be reported out next
Monday or Tuesdny nnd he would vote
for.lt, although opposed to giving addi
tional power to Transit Director
Twining.
His opposition, the spnstor con
tinued, was bated on what he said was
Director Twinlng's inexperience as a
transit operator. The director's skill
nnd experience, he added, hud been with
constructive engineering,
Xtu-e Praises Mitten
"Thomas K, Mitten, president of the
P. 11. T. Co.," the senator Rnld, "knows
more In five minutes about transit oper
ntiug than thu transit department and
Council would know In n year."
Thn Senato bill under discussion
would give the transit department
"oversight and charge of nil Irontdt
matters nnd transit facilities." Steam
railroads and their electrified branches
nre excluded from this proposed con
trol. Under the bill's provisions the de
partment would hnve authority to gather

Under tho charter the authority of
tho city transit department Is now con
fined to city-owned and controlled trail
sit lines. The uncompleted Frankfnrd
elevated and the Itustleton surface line
arc the only lines now under the de
partment's jurisdiction.
Develin Hxplalns Need
The public should be aroused to the
need of brondenlng the transit depart
ment's powers as provided In the Sen
ate bill, Councilman Develin snid.
"It Is a bill for protecting the city
and the citizens so they will hnve n
champion who will look nfter their in
terests whenever they c&nfln-t with those
of nny transit company," he snid.
Mr, Develin snid his resolution ask
ing Council's special legislative com
mittee to report on the progress of the
transit bill wns not designed to hamper
the committee.
"Tho resolution wns meant not to
hamper, but to aid the committee," he
continued. "It was not n piece of pea
nut politics ns one councilman said,
but it wns part of carefully thought
out tactics to advance the bill and help
tho committee.
oo far from tr.ving to nut Ihe com
mittee In a hole, I wns trying to keep
it irom getting In a hole, which it
would have done had It relied uuon the
usual mcthr.ds.
"Councilmnn Hall said the chairman
of the Senate committee could not be
held responsible for retaining the, bill.
Any tyro knows that the chnirmnn of n
committee lias almost unlimited power
over a bill thnt affects his locality. Sen
atorial courtesy, in practice, gives him
such control. Proof of that Is that all
the other bills affecting this city hnve
ncen reported out.
"I am not charging Senator Vnre
with nny wrong motives. I am simply
stating the fact nnd the inference from
that can be ilrnwn by the people them
selves, Thnt is the dilemma in which
opponents of the bill are now nut. If
the committee succeeds In getting the
bill out of committee it will be against
the opposition of the chairman. If the
bill Is not reported out then the odium
will fall upon the chnirmnn of the Sen
ate committee."
Senator Vare. at his summer home
in Ambler, was told Councilman Develin
said he was holding the bill, which has
been In the municipal nffair.s committee
six weeks.
"That is absolutely true." the sena
tor sold. "There ore a lot of members
of think Director Twining is not n fit
man to handle transportation.
"The bill gives the transit department
the right to reroute nnd otherwise pnss
nn the transportation end of the P. II,
T. Co. A great many members think
thnt while Mr. Twining Is a construc
tion engineer, lie knows nothing nf
transporting people from one part of
the city to nnotlicr. I think so, too.
"But the bill will go out of commit
tee Monday or Tuesdny. I nm going to
clean out my desk then nnd all measures
there will go out. I will vote for the
bill desplto mv opinion nbout Director
Twlnlng'n nblllty in the matter of trans

The last limerick prlne goes to n man
who once got on n bnllot and whose wife
wouldn't cense encournRinR him to the
very last. And so. nt tho very last he
won. It Is agreeable to think that there
are women who are such good encour
agers. Frank M. Hindi, of 1027 South Fif
tieth street! is a piano adjuster for (1.
W, Huvcr Co., 1031 Chestnut trcct.
He has a good enr for bad notes and
n glad eye for the bank vnrlcty. He
wns ns solemn and ns ngltnteu when
notified of his good fortune as though
he were about to be innrrletl for the
first time.
As a nintter of fact, he's been mat
rled five years, which may account for
the sctlouH way in which he goea oftcr
nny little hundred dollnrs thnt mny be

a good mnny nights," declared Sir.
Hindi. "1 did about n dor.cn, then gut
disgusted. Then I tried ngnlu nnd got
on the bnllot. Since then jny wife hns
told me I surely would win. Of course,
she's encournged me right nlong, nnd
the money goes fifty-fifty."
Mr. Hindi wns born nnd rnlsed in
Philadelphia., educated at Gcsu School
and St. Joseph's College.
It was rather strange thnt a jury nf
