mountains having practically no
trouble at all.
Board to Meet. The State In
dustrial Board has been scheduled to

the alleged violations submitted.

bine Rumors Again
Dispatches from Philadelphia, l ' in
commenting upon the big- earnings of
the Cambria Steel Company, to-day

Cambria company and chairman of
the board of directors of the Penn

agreement with the syndicate which is
promoting the new combination and
that this means the merger will be
effected at an early date. This report
has been denied by President Donner
and J. Leonard Keplogle, the principal
Cambria stockholder.
The report probably had Its origin
in a meeting between Air. Donner, B.
Dawson Coleman and Mr. Replogle.
Mr. Coleman is a director of the Penn
sylvania Steel Cbmpany and is also one
of the Drexel-Replogle syndicate
which took over the Pennsylvania
Company's Cambria Steel holdings.

significance to the meeting and Mr.

were discussing a different matter
when Mr. Replogle chanced to come
to his offlce.

URGES NATIONAL
UNIVERSITY AT
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Congressman Fess Tells City
School Teachers of Great
Project
A National University at Washing
ton, which will be open for research
work to students of the world under
the leadership of the best men of the
country, the government to be the
beneficiary of these discoveries, is the
aim of Dr. S. D. Fess, president of
Antioch College at Antioch, Ohio, and
Congressman from that district, he
stated in his address to the city
teachers this morning in the auditor
ium of the Central High School at the
opening session of the fourth day of
the city teachers' Institute.
Dr. Fess' plan was first the dream
of Washington, who twice recom
mended it to Congress, and upon his
death bequeathed a sum of $50,000,
and named the place for the erection
of the University at a part of Wash
ington still known as University
Heights. Numerous times since then
it has been given consideration, but
has always fallen short of being car
ried to perfection. Dr. Fees has ma
tured his plans so far that the mat
ter will be brought before Congress as
soon as the vocational bill has been
before the House.
The scheme as being set forth by
the speaker is to expend a sum of
four million dollars for an administra
tion building to be called the Na
tional Archives Building. The speaker
stated that this country is the only
nation in the world that does not
boast of such a building. The institu
tion would be controlled by a board
of directors. Any scholar of rare abil
ity with the degree of Bachelor of
Arts would be invited to come to
Washington to do research work in
any department. "With the govern
ment as the beneficiary of the re
searches, one discovery would often
pay all expenses of the National Uni
versity for 100 years," declared the
speaker.
The other speaker of the morning
was Dr. Edward F. Bigelow, a Con
necticut lecturer, editor and natural
ist. His subject was "The Child or
You."
Superintendent F. E. Downes an
nounced the next and final session of
institute for Saturday, March 11. The
lecturer will be Hollis Dann, head of
the Department of Music of Cornell
University. His address upon the sub
ject of music will be the first de
livered upon that theme for several
years to the city teachers. S. L.
Krebs, a Philadelphia psychologist,
will also speak.

SHIRT FACTORY
GIRLS ON STRIKE
Demand Increase in Wages
When New Proprietor Takes
Charge at Newport
Sfecial to the Telegraph
Newport, Pa., Jan. 22.—Yesterday
morning about 9.30 o'clock forty-five
of the tifty girls employed at the
Quality Shirt Factory here struck
when the new proprietor, H. D. Eber
sole. of Goldsboro, York county. Pa.,
arrived to take charge of the factory.
He purchased the personal property
and real estate some time ago. Mr.
Kbersole was accompanied by the for
mer proprietor, H. W. Shoemaker, of
Harrisburg, and B. F. Snellbaker, pro
prietor of a shirt factory at Mechan
icsburg. Pa.
Some time ago the girls decided to
ask for an Increase in wages and sent
a petition to the New York jobbers
handling the factory's output request
ing their good offices in securing the
increase. They asked 1 cent per dozen
more, on account of a change in the
method requiring additional labor with
no more pay. The girls declared they
would not continue work under the
new proprietor unless wages were in
creased.
It is said the wages paid at the
Quality factory are higher than at
Goldsboro or Mechanicsburg and that
Mr. Ebersole cannot afford to increase
the present scale.
Five of the girls remained at work,
but not sufficient in number to operate
the plant, and it was closed down until
Monday morning.
The employes say that their best
workers are not able to earn, on an
average, $5 a week, while others do
not overage more than ?3 or $4 a
week.

Henry L. Stimson Believes
Compulsory Military Ser

Speak on Preparedness Be
fore Security League
By Associated Press
Washington. D. C., Jon. 22.—Un
qualified endorsement of the adminis
tration's continental army plan was
given to-day by Henry L. Stimson, Sec
retary of War in the Taft administra
tion. in an address before the National
Security League.
Declaring himself in favor of com
pulsory universal military service as
the true solution of the defense prob
lem, Mr. Stimson said he regarded the
program now advanced by Secretary
Garrison as the sound initial step.
"If Congress is not ready yet to
sanction universal training,'' he said,
"the measures wliicn are enacted
should be those which, so far as they
go, are in accord with this great fun
damental duty and which as time
passes and experience ripens will lead
most naturally to the establishment of
such a system.
Discusses Border Trouble
"Instead of ourselves performing
the most vital duty of citizenship,"
said Mr. Stimson, "we have been hir
ing other men to do it for us. Other
democracies have been more consist
ent and intelligent and to-day they are
reaping the advantage of their action
not only in their national security but
in the stability of character which
their training has given to the indi
vidual."
Referring to the recent Mexican
troubles and the demands of many for
a punitive expedition, Mr. Stimson
said: "It Is conceivable that at almost
any time the hands of our govern
ment may be forced by some such
emergency, yet at the present day with
the great bulk of our army massed
I along the Mexican border we have only
