THIS IS FINAL
The Harrisburg Railways, Company is not bluffing.
We have made known our position to our men and we want the
public to know what it is because it is final. We believe it will benefit
the city, our employes, and the company. We think we should go to
great lengths to uphold it and we are willing to..
We have just entered into an agreement with our loyal employes,
numbering about sixty-five. We have adjusted all questions with
them satisfactorily. We will be glad to receive from the 165 former
employes who left our service, applications for positions, providing
thev applv as individuals, and each application will be received and
treated on its merits. THEY WILL NOT BE RE-EMPLOYED
UNDER ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES.
We will not recognize or have any dealings with the Amalga
mated Association of Street and Electric Railroad Companies.
THIS IS FINAL.
We will not discharge those employes who have been loyal to
the companv. It may be some time before conditions are normal, but
the management will do everything it can to accommodate the public.
We only ask that law and order be enforced.
The Harrisburg Railways Company is a Harrisburg institution.
Its directors are all Harrisburg men. All but one live here. Ninety
five per cent, of the stock of the Harrisburg Railways Company is
owned in Harrisburg. We have no outside entanglements and we
are responsible only to Harrisburg people. We intend to maintain
this relationship.
W r e feel we are doing right and acting in the best interest of the
city, its people, the company and its employes, when we refuse to
have any dealings with any organization entirely controlled by out
side parties.
We are making a fight for Harrisburg, and it will be a winning
one.
THIS IS FINAL.

"The world war was caused by
Russia's aggressive policy, supported

it was rendered possible solely by the
fact that England suoordinated to her
economic antagonism to Germany all
her other interests.
"Whereas Germany's enemies re
gard it quite in order that they de
mand territorial aggrandizements at
the cost of others, like Russia who
wants Constantinople and Gallcla, like
France who desires Alsace-Lorraine
and the left bank of the Rhine, and
like Italy who seeks Austrian terri
tory, thoy grudge Germany even that
she strive to develop herself econ
omically in peaceable competition
and they pronounce this an unpardqn
able sin against the world's order of
things.
"They are unwilling that Germany
should become great and strong be
cause the other powers want to be the
economic masters of the world.

plated by the act is
'an,- emphasized to-day
by Chairman Harry A. Mackey in an
opinion filed upholding the refusal of
the referee to grant compensation in
the case of Sllvestrtf vs. the borough
of Grecnsburg.
In this case the decedent was em
ployed on the streets of the borough
and the opinion says "How he met his
death is a matter of conjecture, after
all the testimony has been accepted
and full faith and credence given to
every word of it. It can be observed
that a reading of the testimony in this
case may lead to the conclusion that
the theory that the deceased was
j struck by an automobile while upon
one of the highways of the defendant,
jthe borough of Greensburg, might be
| accepted as the most probable solu
tion, but verdicts cannot be sustained
I upon probabilities." The opinion says
ithat it cannot he found whether the
i man was fatally hurt while in the
course of his employment or not.
