RAILROAD RUMBLES
LIFT TARIFFS ON
STEEL TRAFFIC
Interstate Commission Makes
Ruling Affecting Shipments
to War Zone
Washington, Sept. 29. Tariffs of
railroads in the Middle West and East
proposing increases of seven and eight
cents per hundred pounds on iron and
steel articles from Chicago, Pitts
burgh and other points to the Atlantic
seaboard and to gulf ports, for export,
were suspended to-day by the Inter
state Commerce Commission until
January 2'J pending investigation.
The suspended tariffs would affect
a large volume of the shipments to
European belligerents.
The proposed Increases have been
vigorously fought by shippers, who
contended they were without justifica
tion and an attempt by the carriers
to take some of the profits of the iron
and steel business.
Lstlmated l.osscs
One company estimated that its loss
under outstanding contracts if the ad
vances became effective would be
SIOO,OOO. The railroads claimed that
they had made a one-third reduction
in iron and steel rates to enable manu
facturers to reach out for foreign
business, and that the roads are now
proposing to restore rates to where
they stood when exceptional condi
tions caused reductions.
The Pennsylvania Railroad claimed
as one of its reasons for the increase
that it has to enlarge its terminal
facilities at New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore to handle export trade,
at an outlay of $25,000,000 and that
delivery to ship side is more expen
sive than to domestic consignees.

FRIDAY EVENING,
TELL GRIEVANCES
TO EMPLOYERS
Congressman Aaron S. Kreider
Gives Get-Together Talk to
Railroad Club Members
"Go to your employer with your
grievances. You will feel miserable
if you stand on the corners and tell
your troubles to outsiders," said Con
gressman Aaron S. Kreider last night.
He was the speaker at the monthly
meeting of the Friendship and Co
operation Club For Railroad Employes
and talked on "Getting Together."
Congressman Kreider continued:
"When you tell your troubles to
some other fellow on the street cor
ner, your story is always carried
further, and exaggerated each time
it is repeated. When your employer
hears it, and confronts you with the
remark credited to you, there comes
a miserable feeling on your part.
Your troubles have been represented.
Co-operation Brings Results
"The best results always comes
with co-operation between employer
and employes. It Is the only solution
to a successful business enterprise.
There should also be a harmonious
feeling among employes. I congratu
late you on having an organization
the purpose of which is to bring the
employe and employer closer to
gether. You will lose nothing in your
efforts." Congressman Kreider told
of the co-operative system in his
business and its good results. His re
marks were received with applause.
The meeting was beld in the club
rooms, 307 Market street and attend
ed by 100 members. Following the
a'dmission of 28 new members, bring
ing the total up to 670, and address
by Superintendent N. W. Smith of the
Middle division, there was a smoker.
Refreshments were served bv the
committee on entertainment, and in
formal talks followed. Announce
ment was made that the club would
hold all future meetings In the rooms

REPUBLICANS OPEN
CAMPAIGN AT RALLY
[Continued From First Pa*o]
red blood in his veins and a reverence
for the Stars and Stripes to blush
with shame. This chapter will be the
only humiliating chapter in all our
splendid American history. Would
to God we were able to rub it out."
The Congressman's address was
made during a reception tendered the
local Republican candidates by the
Harrisburg Republican club. It was
the largest and most enthusiastic
gathering in the history of the club
and marks the real opening of the
Kail campaign in Dauphin county.
Former Representative Daniel ti.
Kelster, one-time president of the
club, presided and after the big meet
ing refreshments were served.
Senator Heidleman Speaks
Senator K. K. Beldleman, the next
president pro tem. or the Senate, was
given a rousing reception at the hands
of the big audience. The Senator de
voted himself largely to local and
State issues. He predicted the elec
tion of the whole Republican ticket
by sweeping majorities in both the
county and the State. Ho said he had
made a careful canvas of the situa
tion locally and found conditions
most encouraging.
W. M. Hargest, deputy attorney
general, devoted himself largely to
national questions and to the import
ance of electing a Republican Presi
dent and Republican Congress this
year. Jesse E. B. Cunningham, form
er deputy attorney general, delivered
an eloquent address In his usual happy
manner and was received with en
thusiasm.
Representative Augustus Wildman,
candidate for re-election, was 111 and
unable to attend and Representative
Swartz was out of the city on court
business. Both sent letter of regret.
Resolutions Passed
The club passed the following reso
lutions:
"WHEREAS The Harrisburg
Republican Club has always stood for
constructive statesmanship; for a tar
iff to properly regulate American In
dustries and adequately protect Am
erican workmen; for the practical
BXRMSBURG LDB66L TELEGRAPH
instead of an experimental solution of
governmental problems; for unselfish
patriotism; for undiluted American
ism; for the safety of our citizens;
■and for the honor of the flag both at
home and abroad; and
"WHEREAS Under the admini
stration of the Democratic party dur
ing the past four years, our people
have escaped a most terrible panic
only through the Intervention of war
in Europe which has for the present
nullified the disastrous effect of the
iniquitous Underwood Tariff Law; we
have "been brought to the brink of
war by the "watchful waiting" policy
of the President; our fair name has
been dragged in the dust and Ameri
can men, women and children have
been murdered on the high seas and
in Mexico as a result of this spineless
and un-American policy; and
"WHEREAS To correct these
evils, to restore the flag to its once
proud place among the standards of
the nations, to enact a tariff law that
will enable American employers to
maintain a high wage scale and at the
same time compete with the products
of Europe, to pass such legislation as
will place in the hands of the srov
ernment. weapons on land and sea
that will safeguard this country from
the fate of Belgium and Poland, and
to procure the return of the party of
Lincoln to the helm of the nation In
this crisis in our affairs, the Repub
lican party has adopted a platform
that admirably meets every demand
of the situation and In the nomina
tion of Charles Evans Hughes and
Charles Warren Fairbanks has given
to the country candidates for the
Presidency and Vice-Presidency of the
highest type whose probity is unques
tioned, whoso abilities have been tried
and proven in the hard school of ex
perience, and who represents the best
thoughts am' the highest devotions of
American rhanhood: therefore, be it
"REBOLVED That the Harris
burg Republican Club- accords Its
hearty endorsement of the Republi
can Platform adopted and the Re
publican candidates nominated by the
Chicago convention and pledge to
them our unremitting efforts and un
tiring zeal throughout the campaign,
and. be It further
"UESOL.VKD That thin Club en
dorse and recommend to the voters
of all parties the State and County
candidates nominated by the Republi
can party at the May primaries: Phil
ander C. Knox for United States
Senator; Thomas H. Cargo, John R.
K. Scott, Joseph McLaughlin, and
Mahlon M. Garland for Congress-at-
Large; Herman M. Kephart for Stale
Treasurer; Charles A. Snyder for
Auditor General; Aaron S. Kreider
for Congress; Edward E. Beldleman
for State Senator; Joshua W. Swartz
and Augustus Wiidman for the Legis
lature in the First District; David J.
Bechtold and Ira E. Ulsh for the
Legislature In the Second District;
\and Charles Price for Mine Inspec
tor."
SPECIAL TYPHOID
HOSPITAL NEEDED
[Continued From First Page]
hospital. Of course as Jong as the
local institutions are capable of hand
ling typhoid fever patients an em
ergency institution, in the opinion of
some, would not be necessary. How
ever, my personal belief Is that the
City Commissioners should lose no
time in making provisions for taking
care of typhoid fever patients."
It Is understood the question of an
emergency hospital will be discussed
to-night at the meeting of the Har
rlsburg Academy of Medicine and
some action taken. It is expected that
the local physicians will make some
recommendation as to the location of
a hospital, and how it should be con
ducted.
6 Deaths Since August 1
Since the beginning of the epidemic
on August 16, there_ have been six
deaths in the city, four patients who
were brought to the Harrlsburg hos
pital from points outside of Harris
burg, were in a critical condition at
the time of their admission, and died
later.
Sixty-eight cases of the disease In
Harrlsburg were reported In Septem
ber and 45 last month, making a. total
of 113 cases. According to Health
Officer Kaunick, contaminated Ice
cream sold late In August was re
sponsible for the big outbreak, which
has broken all records since the city
department opened in 190 i. The
SEPTEMBER 29, 1916. '
death record for the year will be high
alao.
Outbreak in End
Dr. C. R. Phillips, county medical
inspector, completed an Investigation
yesterday and found that a serious
outbreak In the upper end of the
county was caused by Infected Ice
cream.
At Halifax nineteen cases have
been reported In the last week and
fifteen of these have been traced to ice
cream sold at the picnic at Enterllne.
Testerday Dr. Raimick conferred
with State Health authorities in con
nection with the epidemic. Tests of
tlie city Ice cream supply are being
continued, and show that the quality
Is improving:, according to Dr. Kau
nick.
Yesterday Mrs. William M. Robison,
wife of the secretary of the Rotary
Club, was admitted to the llarrisburg
hospital, suffering from typhoid. Her
condition is not considered dangerous.
Fifty cases of the disease are being
treated at the hospital, which Is filled
to capacity.
A Little Shoe Talk
It Is a hard thing to keep from making extravagant statements
about yourself and your merchandise when writing an ad, but In
tend to say nothing to the public that our goods and our service will
not back up when a customer comes to us for Shoes.
This Is a season of the year when the question of Shoe* should re
ceive real thought. Winter weather with Its rains and snowa and
changes of temperature put even the best of Shoes to the severet test
and In laying in our stock of goods for Fall we have not forgotten this
great quality that Shoes must have—that of service. This applies par
ticularly to our Shoes for boys and girls. We buy only Shoes that stand
the service given them by healthy children. We have good Shoes for
bad boys that are not had for good boys and our girls' Shoes are good
looking and also good wearing. One of the most important facts is
that our prices are moderate. We also want mother and father to
know that we have Shoes they will like, too.
