EMPLOYES MUST
, HAVE MEDICII TEST
AD Handling Foodstuffs on Pennsy
Are Examined Every 30
Days
Persons traveling over the Philadel
phia Division, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, and being served on the din
ing cars of passenger trains, seldom
stop to realize the large number of per
sons served In the dining cars and
restaurants over the entire Pennsylva
nia system. Last year food was served
to 8,776,000 persons. At the present
time 10,000 persons patronize the din
ing cars and restaurants in one day.
For the protection of these people the
management takes every precaution
against the possibility of anyone with
any communicable disease havlpg any
thing: to do with the preparation or
serving of food, or having anything to
do with the linen, china and silver
used in the serving of meals.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has
adopted practices in its dining cars and
restaurant department that are design
ed to mako even more elaborate the
precautions already taken to safeguard
the public against disease.
Some years ago the Pennsylvania
Railroad required every employe en-
Raged In the preparation or serving of
rood to undergo a physical examina
tion every ninety days, and anyone
found to have a tendency toward a
communicable disease was debarred
from the service. Eater the order was
given to examine these employes in the
dining- cars and restaurants—there are
over 1,000 of them —every thirty days.
Now the order has gone forth that they
must be examined at least once every
thirty days.
Just as far reaching as the rule for
examining employes is the. new regu
lation governing the inspection of din
ingrooms, dining cars and kitchens. The
railroad's medical examiners, who are
also officers of the State Board of
Health of Pennsylvania, will act as in
spectors. It will he their duties to in
spect dining cars and restaurants from
one end to the other. Kitchens, silver
ware, linens, cooking vessels will he
their scrutiny. Every car and
restaurant must be Inspected at least
once every month.
Only Small Stretch on
Pennsy Is Now Without
Automatic Signal Service

Railroad, east of Pittsburgh and Erie,

WILSON TARIFF IS
RUING BUSINESS
So Declares A. R. Ferriday
in Address at Con
vention
In an address before the Central Pa
per Box Manufacturers' Association at
Reading yesterday, A. Reeder Ferri
day, who manufactures boxes at 101-7
Cameron street, and Is vice-president
of the association, blamed legislation
recently passed In Congress for the
falling off in business. He declared
the tariff is one of the chief causes of
the weakening of the paper box mar
ket.
"The labor lobby at Washington,"
said he "has hurt business without any
doubt. Manufacturers are afraid that
it has a dominating effect upon legis
lation and In consequence business suf
fers. The currency bill also has ag
gravated the present conditions.
Bankers are compelled to recflgnize the
regional institutions established by
the government. As a result, the
banks are curtailing their loans, and
this in itself Is sufficient to bring
about a depression. Then, again, the
fear of subsequent legislation attack
ing the business interests has had a
detrimental effect. Business men are
fearful lest legislation of an antagon
istic* nature be Introduced momentar
ily.
"Let the Democratic Administration
permit business to recover itself, and
conditions will assume their normal
state.
"There Is no question but that the
Republican party, alone, can be de
pended upon to restore general pros
perity in the United States."
Delegates were in attendance from a
number of State:. Including Delaware,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
New York, Massachusetts, Indiana,
Virginia and the District of Columbia.
Reports and tsatlstlcs were present
ed. showing that trade conditions all
over the country have been seriously
affected by current legislation, and
the entire blame was laid to the Wil
son Administration.
A. G. Berry, president of the West
ern Association, of Fort Wayne, Ind„
declared that business is now only
about 60 per cent, of what it should
be.

Columbia.
Laborers were rushed down from
points all over the line and extra men

DEER NEEDED FOR
MANY COUNTIES
Dr. Kalbfus Will Ask Legislature to
Make Provision For Stock
ing Closed District
0 Dr. Joseph
1 Kalbfus, the sec
retary of the State
Game Commis
jffcKW? fci sion, will urge the
W. msQjc Sv next Legislature
IW ®HqC Ss tn make an appro-
II ga*™brtt» an priation (or the
9W purchase of deer
SSillwUUUlni to stock counties
i which have been
closed to deer hunting and also a
liberal allowance to provide food for
deer, quail, turkeys and other game
if the winter should prove severe. The
plans for this care for game, in addi
tion to the State's preserves in Perry,
Clearfield, Westmoreland, Franklin,
Centre and Clinton counties, will be
made before the meeting of the State
Game Commission in January.
Nine counties, Fayette, Somerset,
Westmoreland, Cambria, Jefferson,
Clarion, Forest and Warren in the
western end, and Chester in the east
ern end, have been closed to deer
hunting, and half a dozen more are
considering going under the act.
About 100 deer have been released on
them, four counties not getting any
because there are no funds.
The Game Commission secretary is
advocating a game preserve in every
county, the preserve to be closed at
all times, where game may breed and
where the State can carry on propa
gation work. Plans to creat such pre
serves in counties where the State has
forest lands are under discussion, as it
is found that they are a big factor lf\
causing increase of game in the vicin
ity. The raising of quail in captivity
is not much favored and it is thought
that the natural life accorded by the
preserves will save the quail to Penn
sylvania.
Turnpike Case. The Public Ser
vice Commission will likely have to
hear the first complaint made about
a turnpike or toll road, as the West
Kishacoquilas Turnpike Road Com
pany, which operates in Mifflin coun
ty, denies that the complaint of S.
Herman Zook is well founded. It
says that Its roadbed is in good con
dition and its rates reasonable. The
complaint was the first of tho kind
ever nw»de and tho company is pre
pared to fight.

Pennsylvania in or near New Castle,
and from Industries and manufactur
ers on the line of the Pennsylvania at
New Castle to points on the line of the
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh

established to be the maximum to be
charged; and that the commission also

rates and the terms and conditions
upon which they shall be operated.

Mothers' Pension Funds. Deputy
Attorney General J. E. B. Cunningham
holds, In an opinion given to-day to
Auditor General A. W. Powell, that
the $90,000 unexpended during the
first year of the mothers' pension sys
tem does not revert to the State Treas
ury, but is not available for expendi
ture during the current appropriation
year. While only one-half of the ap
propriation is available during the
year, the balance unexpended from
last year's allotment remains available
for expenditure after the expiration of
the current year. In substance, theg
opinion holds that no more than one
twenty-fourth of the biennial appro
priation of $200,000 can be disbursed
in any one month, but that the whole
sum is available until exhausted unless
the Legislature makes a new appro
priation, in which case the unexpend
ed balance reverts.

sanction even if later proceedings do
not Justify the ruling.
Sustain Moore's Contention
The dispatch from Washington says
that the War Department has sus
tained the contention made by Repre
sentative J. Hampton Moore soq#e
time ago that the Susquehanna river
and its tributaries above the Maryland
line are navigable waters subject to
the supervision of the army engi
neers. Mr. Moore Is so well satis
fied with a recent opinion by Judge
Advocate General E. T. Crowdtr, which
Secretary Garrison has confirmed, that
it would be unnecessary for him to
further Insist . upon the passage of
his resolution, revoking the Taft or
der of 1904, declaring the Susque
hanna above the Maryland line a
stream; involving "no interstate navi
gation such as was In the mind of
Congress" when it made a distinction
between Federal and State jurisdic
tion.
Question For Congress
The action of Secretary Garrison
was in the form of a revocation of the
former departmental order and re
sulted from an application of the Sus
quehanna Power Company for appro
val of its plans for a power dam
across the Susquehanna near Cono
wingo, Md. The Secretary of War holds
that the application of the Susque
hanna Power Company involves a
larger question than that of the dis
cretion of the Secretary to approve
plans, and H<at the consent of Con
gress must iWst t>e obtained.
Mr. Moore intimated that inasmuch
as Federal jurisdiction over the Sus
quehanna and its tributaries had thus
been restored, the movement to obtain
a passage way for navigation over or
around the dam at McCall's Ferry
would be pressed with vigor.

IRON MARKET SLUMP
LIKELY TO CONTINUE
So Predicts Iron Age; Several
Suspensions of Furnaces
Are Expected Soon
In its weekly summary of the iron
and steel trades, the Iron Age this
morning predicts that the slump In
the iron market will continue for
some time yet and asserts that a num
ber of furnaces In Pennsylvania are
about to suspend. It says:
"The decline In merchant pig-iron
output has not yet been checked. A
Cleveland furnace and one at Erie,
Pa. ,are about to go out; and several
suspensions In the Hanging Rook dis
trict and one in Eastern Pennsylvania
will follow soon after. The great
foundry industry still lags, and the
pig-iron market moves with it. Con
cessions are still made when any good
jsizer business appears. Buffalo fur
naces. for example, dropped down to
$12.50 for No. 2 Iron lately, but for
the present most of them aro back at
the sl3 level. For Southern foundry
Iron 110 is common, though a good
many $10.25 sales are reported.
"Basic iron is more active. Sales
Include 5,000 tons to Harrishurg, 6,000
tons at Pittsburgh and 15,000 tons to a
St. Louis district steel foundry. This
last iron was sold by a Chicago steel
company and the price was close to
the sl3 furnace basis of similar sales
three months ago. A Kokomo, Ind.,
Inquiry calls for 15,000 tons.
"In finished steel, which it is not
unusual to find out of line with the
merchant pig iron trade, varying de
grees of encouragement are noted.
There is no expectation of more than
slow progress, nor are there signs of
the near resumption of free contract
buying. The mills are following the
same policy as In January in limiting
low-priced sales. At the same time
buyers will not make contracts at
more thnn to-day's prices and are not
| in fear of paying more later.
| "Structural items of special moment
| are the Metropolis bridge near Padu
jcah, Ky„ 19,000 tons, which is soon to
be awarded, and the Kansas City ter
minal, 18,000 tons, on which there is
active figuring."
