: SliHitS&S'-ailfc Society executive
ygg l ~cJ committee, coni
■'i I 'ii >inß—nHMMl posed of the heads
of departments and commissions of
the State government. The society,
which was formed this winter, is
headed hy Secretary of the Common
wealth Cyrus E. Woods and Governor
Brumbaugh was the speaker at its first
luncheon this month.
The plan of having a man promi
nent in some branch of the govern
ment speak each month was worked
out at that meeting and a committee
named with State Librarian Thomas
Lynch Montgomery as chairman. Mr.
Donehoo has been a member of the
State commission since it was estab
lished and has made a study of the
Indians of Pennsylvania and the for
ests of the State. lie will discuss his
torical and conservation work before
the officials.
X.ow Escheat Ait. Steps for en
forcement of the new escheat act will
not be taken by the auditor general's
department for sometime as it is es
timated that between 15,000 and 18,000
reports will have to be gone over by
the clerks in the department. Num
erous questions have arisen in regard
to the reporting and a general plan
for enforcement will be worked out by
the auditor general after conference
with the legal department.
Men in Demand. Demands for
men, skilled and unskilled, for the
iron and steel industrial plants of the
State are being made at the offices of
the State employment bureaus at such
a rate that the usual Spring demands
of contractors and builders do not seem
to amount to much. The State agencies
have had numerous applications for
men who know about lathes, the sup
position being that they are wanted
for plants having rush orders requir
ing machinists and other highly skill
ed men. There is also quite a demand
for foundr.vmen.
i Efficiency in State Service. The
administration of the City of Philadel
phia has just issued an order forbid
ding any employe of the city govern
ment from using intoxicants in any
form while on duty, and it might be of
interest to the people of this Stale to
know that the first and most stringent
•rule of the Pennsylvania Department
of Fisheries is that every employe of
the Department of Fisheries is prohi
bited from using intoxicants in any
form. This rule has been in effect
since the incumbency of Commissioner
N. f{. Puller, four years ago. Commis
sioner Duller believes that the highest
stage of efficiency cannot be attained
if the employes of the department do
not abstain from the use of intoxicants.
Any employe who is found using in
toxicants in any form is subject to
immediate dismissal.
.Strong Men Included Strong tnen,
demonstrators of patent appliances for
health and assistants in various per
formances to illustrate products are
held to come under the State compen
sation laws. This was settled during
the week through aij inquiry made in
person by a man who Informed Sec
retary Lee Solomon that he was the
"strong man" of a physical endurance
demonstration. It was found that he
was under the act, his employer being
liable for any disability arising in
performance of duties under his ar
rangement for work. A number of al
most similar inquiries have been made
and when the traveling show season
comes along it is expected that there
will be more.
Big Institute Soon. Arrangements
arc being made for the Spring meet
ing of the State Board of Agriculture
and the farmers' normal institute to be
held in Reading in May. The State
Board will receive reports from a
number of committees which have
been making some inquiries along
lines discussed at the recent winter
meeting in this city. All of the farm
ers' institute lecturers, who are now
closing up their season of addresses
will attend the institute. The final
farmers' institutes will be held in the
State next week.
Bank Tax Paid. Payment of the
first tax for 1916 on stock of banks
doing business in Pennsylvania is com
mencing to reach the State Treasury.
Already over a quarter of a million
dollars has been paid in. The State
tax on premiums of foreign fire in
surance companies is running very
high this year. These two sources are
furnishing the bulk of the State reve
nue now.
To Tax New Rate.—lt is likely that
a new rate for insuring liability of
threshing machine owners under the
compensation law will be added to
the changes which have been made
lately in the published rates of the
State Insurance Fund. These changes
liave been approved by the Insurance
Department and the Central Rating
and Inspection Bureau at Philadel
phia.
Clieck t'p Oleo. The big Increase
in the retail demand for oleomargar
ine and reports that samples pur
chased by State agents have been
found to be colored and that some
restaurants were not taking out "oleo"
licenses, have stirred up agents of the
Siate Dairy and Food division to con
siderable activity in the last few weeks
and numerous samples are being sent
to chemists for analysis. In a num
ber of instances merchants have been
proscuted for failing to take out li
censes. It is believed that this year
the oleo licenses will run about 3,000.
Commission to Act. When the
P :blic Service <'ominission meets on
.Monday It is likely that some action
will be taken on the Cumberland Val
ley railroad application for right to
buy the stock of the Southern Penn
sylvania Railway and Mining com
pany. which was presented on Monday
and something may also be done about
ihe West Penn electric merger ami the
application of th<* Dover-Rossville
Transit Co., for the overhead wire
electric bus line.
No New Outbreaks. While a gen
eral increase in measles has been re
ported from several counties and
cities the State Health Department
has not received word of any out
breaks of a serious nature.
Farmers Damage Soil. Franklin
Menses, of York, the State's soil ex
pert. yesterday told farmers of the
Philadelphia district at their annual
institute that the average farmer does
more damage to the soil than anyone
else because he fails to properly re
new it.
Still Grinding Away. The hear
ings in the Philadelphia Electric Com
pany ease are still being held in
Philadelphia by Commissioner Mon
aghan. The final hearing is to be held

SATURDAY EVENING,
RAILROAD
GET TOGETHER IS
RAILROAD SLOGAN
Speakers L T rge Closer Relations
Between Employes and Em
ployer at Club Meeting
Greater activity in bringing about
more friendly relations between em
ployer and employe last night was
urged by Jesse E. B. Cunningham, ex
deputy attorney general, principal
speaker at a get-together session of
the Friendship and Co-operation Club
of Pennsylvania Railroad men, held
in Eagle's Hall, Sixth and Cumberland
streets.
Mr. Cunningham called attention to
the fact that for some time railroad
employes and employers have been
drifting apart. He said in his opinion
this indicated a lack of confidence,
and was not a good thing in the efforts
to bring about a high standard of effi
ciency among railroad men. He ad
vocated more frequent get-together
sessions in order that employes might
become better acquainted with their
employers.
Explains Club Policy
William K. Drake, president of the
new club explained to the members
that the organization vvas not formed,
as some say, for the purpose of fight
ing brotherhoods, and that none of
the grievances of the transportation
organizations would be taken up at
the meetings; that the Friendship and
Co-operation Club was for the better
ment of the men socially, and to be
come better acquainted with each
other.
other speakers were William B. Mr-
Caleb. superintendent of the Phila
delphia division: N*. W. Smith, super
intendent. of Middle division; B. Car
penter, train dispatcher of Altoona:
L. C. Clemson, road foreman of en
gines of Middle division; William H.
Fisher assistant trainmaster Phila
delphia division; Charles N. Watts,
road foreman of engines, Philadelphia
division; James K. Linn, assistant sta
tion master, and secretary of the Em
ployes Mutual Beneficial Association,
Pennsylvania Railroad and Ira B.
Bixler, passenger conductor, Middle
division.
Elect New Members
Preceding the addresses a short
business session was held. The com
mittee appointed to secure a perman
ent meeting place reported that they
had options on several locations and
expected to make a recommendation
at the next meeting which will be
held March 24. President Drake re
ported the admission of !»1 new mem
bers.
' Tills was the second rtieeting of the
club since its organization in January
and 100 members attended. The get
together movement is a new proposi
tion among the Pennsylvania Railroad
employes and is strong in Altoona and
other cities.

EMBARGO ORDER
IN PHILADELPHIA
Hits Local Yards; May Mean
Further Congestion; in
Effect Today
Further congestion in the local
yards of the Pennsylvania and Phila
delphia and Reading Railway, is look
ed for, as a result of an embargo
placed yesterday on Philadelphia
freight, by the Pennsylvania Com
pany. The order which came last
night requests that all tracks avail
able be used for storage and that
every effort be made to move prompt
ly and rapidly compulsory shipments.
The embargoes go into effect after
today. It is said there are 12,008 cars
of freight on Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks consigned to Philadelphia, and
is being held up because of failure of
consignees to claim their goods.
Embargo Is Necessary
Spch an embargo is necessary, the
railroad says in its statement, "to
protect shippers against an absolute
blockade of the terminal facilities of
the road." The exceptions to the em
bargo are foodstuffs, perishable
freight, livestock and freight for the
United States Government officers.
Further than these specific exceptions
no freight of any kind will be ac
cepted either for export or domestic
shipments.
Of the total of more than 12,000
cars ticketed for Philadelphia, 5,982
already are stored on sidings and
yards within Philadelphia limits,
while 6,026 are being held at various
places on the Philadelphia division.
At the main offices of the Phlla-
I delphia and Reading Railway it was
said that no changes were in prospect
for the immediate future, other than
the embargoes which have been in
force for some weeks past. These em
bargoes apply to bituminous coal at
Port Reading and at Port Richmond,
! while at the later point an embargo
j on grain still exists.

SCHWAB'S PLANS
ARE TENTATIVE
Will Spend Millions in»De-J
velopment; President Grace
Pleased With Plant
Plans of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration for alterations und extensions
to its recently acquired properties of
f the Pennsylvania Steel Company, prin- 1
' cipally here in Steelton and at Spar
rows Point, Md., are mainly tentative
! at present, according to Bethlehem of
ficials as quoted in Interviews at South !
Bethlehem yesterday.
Plans for the expenditure of mil- j
lions of dollars are under way, but so j
far nothing definite has been decided.
These pla'ns, as told in the .Telegraph's
; interview with President E. G. Grace j
Wednesday, include the expansion of
the blast furnace department here and j
the modernization of the Steelton
plant.
Favorably Impressed
Upon his return to South flethlc- j
| hem yesterday, after making a sev- ,
eral days' inspection trip of the new ■
properties. President Grace expressed i
j himself as favorably impressed with
! the Steelton and Sparrows Point j
plants. He said, however, that certain (
j newspaper reports to the effect thai j
i instead of making certain eontem
| plated improvements at Bethlehem j
J they would be placed at Steelton and
Sparrows Point, were misleading. In
an interview, President Grace said:
"We have completed our inspection
trip of the properties of the Pennsyl
vania Steel Company at Steelton, Pa.,
: and Sparrows Point, Md., and are fa
vorably impressed with our new ac
i quisition. We have noticed the pa
-1 pers quoting us as saying that Instead
|of making certain contemplated im
provements at Bethlehem they would
l be transferred to the Maryland point.
It is quite possible that certain addi
tional lines which we had planned ul
timately to place at South Bethlehem
! may go either to Maryland or Steel-
I ton, but if so other lines will take
I their place in our development at
j South Bethlehem. We may find that
it will be more advantageous to place
! certain products at Maryland or Steel
ton, while other lines will be better
located at South Bethlehem: but we
wish to take the opportunity of as
suring the public that in building up
the new properties we shall in no way
lessen the Importance of the Bethle
hem plant or its further development."
