Strike first, arbitrate afterwards, is the attitude of a part of the em
ployees of the Harrisburg Railways Company.
Thursday morning, July 13th, a committee representing Division
No. 709, of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Rail
way Employees of America, called on Mr. Musser, President of the
Harrisburg Railways Company, and submitted a list of their demands
which are practically as have been printed in the papers. Mr. Musser
replied that he would be glad to see theni as employees of the Com
pany and consider any questions which they cared to discuss. This
they were unwilling to do and left.
Friday afternoon they called again and were given the same answer
and they left with threats.
<J A strike was ordered Sunday morning.
*| Thursday morning to Sunday morning two interviews. How
much consideration is shown fof* the Public or the Company? None
whatever. They represent only a portion of the Company's employees
but presume to speak for all. What about the 140 to 150 men who
have not joined the Union and who are ready and willing to serve the
Public and the Company? Are they not to be considered?

According to the view in Washing-

j means that these and the 80 other

almost entirely from the export and
import trade.
' Coincidental with the British black-
I list comes the news from Berlin of
I a determined campaign for a renewal
of unrestricted submarine warfare,
I which would almost certainly involve
this country in a new crisis with Ger

peace through American intervention,
the "failure" of the United States to

No Canadian Nickel
to Germany on U-Boat
By Associated Press
New York, July 19. Officials of
the International Nickel Company,
which virtually controls the nickel
output of Canada in this country, are
authority for the statement that no
Canadian nickel will go to Germany
in the submarine Deutschland. An
official of the company asserted that
this corporation had an agreement
with the Canadian government under
which it may not supply nickel to any
country with which Great Britain is
at war.
Other concerns in New York deal
ing in nickel, said they have no
knowledge of the source of the supply
of that metal now stowed in the Ger
man submarine. The manager of one
company said, however, that the
Deutschland's cargo probably had
been obtained in the open market.
Metal dealers declared to-day that
Canada was not the only source of
nickel in America. They said that a
quantity of nickel ore was obtained
through various copp«r mines in the
United States and that ore from new
Caledonia was brought here to be

CANOEISTS WOULD
UNITE WITH 'NAVY'
Steelton Enthusiasts to Hold
Meeting and Discuss River
Development
Steelton canoeists are watching with
interest the organization of a "Greater
Harrisburg Navy for the development
ot the Susquehanna river basin and
the furtherance of all kinds of aquatic
sports.
The borough now boasts of a some
what similar body In the Steelton
Canoe Club, an organization of about
fifty river enthusiasts, which has been
endeavoring to obtain better facilities
for river sports here.
Members of the Steelton Canoe Club
arc heartily in favor of an organiza
tion such as the "Greater Harrisburg
Navy" and feel rather favorably to
wards an informal invitation to join
the ranks of the Harrisburg en
thusiasts.
Favors Union With City
Ralph R. Seiders, president of the
Steelton Canoe Club, expressed him
self as heartily in favor of any organ
ization that would further the ends of
' aquatic sports for the Capital City
>and its surrounding towns, and de
clared that he would be giad to co
operate In any way possible to bring
about an effective organization.
Mr. Seiders pointed out the vast
po&sibillties for development of
aquatic sports on the river between
the lower end of Steelton and Dauphin
and the beautiful scenic advantages of
tho stream here.
It is the suggestion of Mr. Seiders
that the Steelton enthusiasts hold a
meeting within the next few days to
discuss the advantages vt uniting with
the "Harrisburg Navy." It is likely
that members of the city organization
will be invited to attend and outline
iust what is contemplated by the new
body. Mr. Seiders also agreed to at
tend next Monday's meeting of the
Harrisburg organization.
The Steelton Canoe Club has a large

tary Earl Boys, and treasurer, Benja

Bethlehem Steel Co. May
Earn $60,000,000 in Year
The directors of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation met yesterday in
New York. Based upon the showing
of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation
in the first half of the current year,
the estimate of $60,000,000 earnings
for the full year 1916, will no doubt be
realized. While no official periodical
statements of earnings are issued by
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, it
Is beljeved they were around $30,-
000,000 in the first half. The Bethle
hem Company has sufficient war
business on its books to keep its
ordnance plants in operation to the
end of the year, and as earnings in
Ji.ne are understood to have es
tablished a new high record, profits
of $60,000,000, or over, for 1916 seem
to be assured. Bethlehem Is now
shipping 1,000,000 shells a month or
at the rate of more than 30,000 a day.
The Pennsylvania Steel Company
had been absorbed by the Bethlehem
and there will be no financing in
connection with the transaction. The
railroads which owned practically all
the stock of the Pennsylvania Steel
Company have taken bonds in pay
ment for their shares. The transaction
will necessitate no capital readjust
ment.
The question of increasing the
capital stock of the Bethlehem Steel
Company is not a leading one with
the Bethlehem Company at present.
No change is now being considered.
Neither is any change in the rate of
dividend on the Bethlehem Steel con
templated in the near future. The
Bethlehem Steel Corporation will
&pend between $12,000,000 and $15,-
000,000 this year for new construc
tion. As the surplus available for
the common stock or new construc
tion is expected to run far above $3OO
a share this year, there will be
plenty of cash left for extra distribu
tions; to shareholders if the directors
deerh such action advisable.
HAAS FUNERAL SATURDAY

The trustees of the Harrisburg Pub

George H. Wirt, chief forest fire war
den, In the first report of the opera
tions of the tire prevention service
made to the Governor to-day. "With

8,000,000 acres of forest land in the
State is damaged by fire annually.
Tho State loses a million dollars a
year directly from fires in the woods.
Increase Filed. The Pennsylvania
Milk Products Co., of this city, has
filed notice of increase of stock from
$150,000 to $175,000.
