Bill For Inspection and Regula

Proposed
TT""™ In order to bring
y\\ 1? //J the sanitary inspec
\V\\ tion of creameries,
w\\\A r|y cheese factories,
condenseries, can
neries and other
VgpffiMlJgjßw esta b1 i shments
where food prod-
I JMBHnnM ucts are manufac
- MiOOII tured an< 3 prepared
j under State super
vision, and to reg
ulate the handling
and display of food products by whole
sale and retail merchants, the officials
of the Pennsylvania Department of
Argiculture will present a bill to the
next Legislature covering this feature
of the control of food products.
Many States already have laws re
lating to food and drinks, but Penn
sylvania has no sanitary law that con
trols the manufacture preparation or
handling of food products. Dairy and
Food Commissioner James Foust
feels that such legislation is badly
needed in this State and that by proper
regulation assistance can be given in
keeping down the start and spread of
epidemics which often lead to the
loss of hundreds of lives. The pro
posed bill will meet the conditions
complained about in Philadelphia and
other cities in the State.
Commissioner Foust is now secur
ing copies of the laws in force in other
States and the Pennsylvania bill will
be drafted along the most approved
lines.
The agitation in Congress for the
inspection of creameries is a matter
which must come under the police
power given to the individual States
and the work will bo undertaken by
the Dairy and Food Bureau of the'
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul
ture if the proposed bill is enacted into
law. it is a governing enactment for
individual States and not for Con
gress.
Tax Blanks Forwarded. Blanks
were forwarded to Major-General
Clement, commanding the Pennsylva
nia troops in Texas, to be distributed
among the soldiers of voting age, the
blanks to be filled out with the name
and address of the signer and for
warded to somebody in the home dis
trict who will be authorized to pay the
poll tax of the soldier voter to the col
lector. These blanks, properly re
ceipted by the tax collector, will be
sent back to the soldier and the holder
of such certificate will be entitled to
vote.

of Cephas L. Gramley, of Robensburg,
Center county, was withdrawn as a
candidate on the Washington and Pro
hibition tickets for representative in

Nearly 3,000 Signers on
Jitney Referendum Papers
Nearly three thousand qualified
voters of Harrisburg signed the Jitney
petition In City Clerk Miller's office
during the last ten days. The last op
portunity was to-day between the
hours of 9 and 4 o'clock. At 1 o'clock
this afternoon, 4 2 additional signa
tures had been obtained making the
total at that time 2,895.
At the close of the ninth day that
the Jitney petition was open for signa
tures. 2853 registered voters had
signed. Labor leaders and union men
predict that if council rejects the
amendments, they will be passed by
a referendum vote at the November
polls.
Only 1751 signatures were needed
to make the petition valid, but striking
trolleymen yesterday and to-day con
tinued their canvass for qualified voters
in the wards in an effort to pass the
3000 mark.
The amendments asked for in the
petition provide a sls license for
small Jitneys, with a SIOOO bond, pay
able in monthly instalments of sa.
NEED MUCH STEEL
FOR BATTLESHIPS
Armament Requirements Mount
Into High Figures; Rail
roads Buying Material
"The difficulties of the steel mills
are again increasing, as the delivery
of six months' output and more now
narrows down for many of them to
the four months that remain of 1916,"
says the Iron Age in its weekly review
of the steel trades to-day. "Produc
tion in August was about equal to
that of July, in spite of trying condi
tions, but new business was larger arid
the Steel Corporation expects to end
the month with an increase in unfilled
orders.
"The 1916 naval program will make
a far greater demand on steel works
than had been calculated. It is now
figured that for hulls and armament
215,000 to 220,000 tons will be needed
for the 4 battleships, 4 battleship
cruisers, 4 scout cruisers, 20 destroy
ers, 20 submarines, 1 fuel ship, 1 am
munition ship and 1 hospital ship. In
the case of two steel companies, at
least, some of this government work
must be taken on to the exclusion of
more remunerative foreign orders.
"New vessel orders include three on
the Pacific coast, two at Philadelphia
for American owners, and two at
Baltimore for Norwegian interests. An
Eastern yard has just placed 40,000
tons of shipbuilding steel, chiefly
plates. Japan is still a buyer for its
shipyards, and its wants make up the
bulk of a 20,000-ton inquiry pending
in the Chicago district.
"Railroad wants have been more of
a factor in the past week. The South
ern Railway has ordered 20,000 tons
of rails for next summer and 5000
tons has been bought for Cuba. The
Canadian Northern is inquiring for
20,000 tons, of which it is likely only
10,000 tons can be supplied in this
country. The Grand Trunk is in the
market for 20,000 tons. In tie plates
the Santa Fe order for nearly 10,000
tons is a feature.
"France has just closed for 15,000
tons of rails, making its total orders
in the past year about 100,000 tons.
Great Britain, it now develops, has
bought 56,000 tons of rails here, or
much more than has been estimated."

had called to report their loyalty.
No special arrangement for move
ment of trains will be announced
until after the strike is on. The of
ficials want to ascertain how much of
the traffic will be tied up.
Final Instructions Sunday
Final instructions to the men who
will remain on duty will not be given
out until tome time during Sunday,
when It is known definitely if there
will be a strike. Some of the of
ficials still believe that a settlement
wil! be reached or a postponement
agreed upon.
Reading Lays* Its Plans
During yesterday and last night a
canvass was made of the employes
of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway company, in Harrisburg and
at Rutherford. The result will not
be made public.
Preparations to take care of men
working at Rutherford will be com
pleted to-day. In accordance with
the statement made yesterday, every
effort will be made to keep passenger
and freight traffic on the move. The
number of rains that can be handled
will not be known until Monday noon.
Officials say • they expect little
trouble on the Cumberland Valley
railroad. A dispatch to a local of
ficial from Chambersburg this morn
ing saidf
"Not more than 10 per cent of the
men will go on strike. All trains
will be run as usual, and freight traf
fic will suffer little."
Reports that passenger trains on
the Pennsy would run only at night
were not confirmed to-day. The opin
ion prevails with local passenger de
partment officials that real conditions
will not be known before Wednesday.
Regarding freight traffic local condi
tions will be known by noon Monday.
Yardmasters have been ordered to re
port as soon after 7 a. m. Monday
as is possible.
Reading President Asks
Men to Remain Loyal
President Agnew T. Dice, of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
company this morning issued a per
sonal appeal to the employes of that
system to remain loyal if a strike is
called. The appeal is as follows:
We are facing a crisis which has no
parallel in the history of American
Railroads.
In brief, the employes in train and
yard service have presented, through
the Brotherhood Leaders, demands for
radical changes in working conditions
which would result in-a large increase
in pay. After very carefiil consider
ation and calculation, the Managers'
Committee of the Railroad Companies
decided that, with the present income
of the Railroad Companies, these de
mands could not be granted. While
the Railroad Managers believe in the
justice of their position as sincerely
and earnestly as do tho Brotherhood
Leaders in theirs, they have offered to
have the questions in dispute arbi
trated either before the Interstate
Commerce Commission or the Board
provided by the Federal Law. Although
law and order rest largely on the prin
ciple that no man shall be a judge
in his own controversy, the Brother
hood Leaders have refused arbitra
tion before a disinterested. Board,
have insisted that they alone shall de
cide the dispute and are threatening
to order a nation-wide strike.
The incalculable loss and suffering
that will result from such a strike
justify an appeal to your sense of
fairness, to your loyalty and to your
patriotism, before you leave our ser
vice. Many of you have grown old
in the Reading service. Some of you
have spent your entire working lives
on this railroad. You know that our
Management has always invited and
welcomed the frank and direct dis
cussion between employes and of
ficers of all questions concerning pay
and working conditions. Will you
now break off our long standing rela
tions that have been so friendly and
satisfactory and help plunge your
families, your Company and your
Country into a calamity the extent
no one can foresee? Or
will you have the courage to keep at
i^°^, an ( d "I'M 8 '? 1 that all Questions
in dispute shall be submitted to im
partial arbitration?
I earnestly urge that every man
consider carefully the vital issues that
are involved in this controversy and
decide for himself, as a matter of con
science, what is right for him to do.
AGNEW T. DICE,
President.

Bitterly Censures Wilson
Mr. Fairbanks replied in a speech
bitterly censuring the administration's
forefgn, tariff and Mexican policies.
Mr. Fairbanks said in part:
"I am deeply sensible of the high
honor of the commission which you
bring me. To be chosen as the can
didate of the Republican party for the
Vice-Presidency of the United States
is a distinction which any patriotic
American may well covet. I accept
the nomination and pledge you my
utmost service during the campaign.
"Democracy stands, as it has stub
bornly stood for many years, for a
free trade or revenue tariff: while

But There Has Been War
"Our opponents pride themselves
upon the assurfled fact that their can
didate for the Presidency has kept
the country out of war. Their asser
tion is too broad; it comprehends
more- than the truth. We have not
been kept out of war, for there has
been real war in Mexico, duo to our
own aggression. It does not resound
to our credit. That it was not greater
is due to the fact that Mexico is not
greater. Where has been no desire

"We regard the dealings of the
President with Mexico as vacillating.
He has been given a free hand and
has no one to blame for what he has
done or failed to do except himself.
Don't Appreciate Importance
"We do not generally appreciate the
importance of the Mexican problem.
The relations between the two coun
tries are so intimate that everything
in honor should be done to maintain
good neighborhood between them.
The population of Mexico is 15,000,-
000. There are some 40,000 American
dwellers within the republic, and
upon its invitation. The -wealth of
the country is roundly $2,400,000,000.
American investments amount to
more than $1,000,000,000, or approxi
mately 45 per cent, of the total.
"The terrible struggle in Europe
will tend to intensify, rather than
moderate, the spirit of nationalism
throughout the world, and In the fu
ture, as never before, it will be neces
sary for us to maintain a standard of
Americanism, free from division by
sectionalism, elas sprejudice or alien
sympathy. We cannot properly cen
sure Americans of foreign birth for
sympathy with the nations which once
claimed their allegiance, as against
the nations with which they are fight
ing, and the attempt to impute treas
onable motives to any one class of our
citizens because of their original na
tionality, or the sympathies which go
with it, so long as these do not inter
fere with their paramount loyalty to
this republic, or In any way infringe
it, is severely to be condemned. The
greatest menace in this country is not
Iso much the man who loves two
countries as the man who loves no
i country at all."
