The action of the Brotherhood leaders in calling a strike at this time justifies an ippcal to you to consider two vital issues. FIRST: The Supreme Court of the United States has now before it for determi nation the questions of constitutionality and meaning of the "Adamson Act." If the aw is held to be constitutional, the railroad employes subject to its provisions will re eive the increased payments accruing under its terms from the first day of January, 917. If the law is held to be unconstitutional, the whole question of your wages can it any time be re-opened between you and our Management and between the Brother loods and all the Railroads. Under these circumstances, can any citizen or body of citi zens justify taking the law into their own hands and saying in effect: "\\ e will have vhat we want regardless of the Supreme Court of the United States?"' Do you think hat public opinion—the final Court in such matters, which no man or body of men is strong enough to defy —will approve a course of action which, if followed uniformly by )ther citizens, would destroy the very foundations of law, order and free government? SECOND: The delicate international situation justifies the assertion that there has lever been a time in the history of our Country when it was of such vital importance o the Xation to have .all Railroads efficiently operated to their maximum capacity. Na ional Defense is the most vital issue before the Country today and preparations for lefense will practically be halted if the Railroads are paralyzed by a strike. How can inv patriotic citizen justify to his own conscience or to his fellow-citizens a course of ronduct that may well be fraught with gravest peril to the Country. The Government md our fellow-citizens have a right to expect that all those engaged in the operation )f our Railroads will, at this critical time, co-operate to the fullest extent to help pre pare the Country for any eventuality. I confidently hope that you will see that the Xa ional Defense overshadows a wage controversy, that it is imperatively necessary for ill to support the Government in rushing all preparations for defense, and that every Reading man will do his duty as a loyal American in helping to maintain every branch )f our service. I, therefore, appeal to you as employes and fellow-citizens to co-operate with the Management in keeping our Railroad working to its maximum capacity and to leave the question of wages, If it should not be pettled satisfactorily to you by the decision of :he Supreme Court, to be dealt with in an orderly way and without interfering with our Company's efficiency as an agency in forwarding preparation for National Defense, AGNEW T, DICE, /President, . MONDAY EVENING," STATE CHAMBER TO FOLLOW ACTS Secretary Littlefield Arranges to Keep Tabs on Business Legislation Paul Littlefield. Secretary of the Pennsylvania State Chamber of Com merce, announces that the Chamber has decided to make a study of the pro posed legislation Introduced from time to time in the Senate and House. Up to March 12, $47 bills had been intro duced in the House and 3SS bills in the Senate. The State Chamber will be glad to hear from any of the members and oth ers interested in bills of general In terest, especially in proposed acts af fecting the cost of living and regulat ing business customs, and to give mu nicipalities more power for local self government. Alba B. Johnson, president of the State Chamber, said in an address be fore the York Chamber of Commerce recently, in speaking of the necessary co-operation of businessman with the agricultural interests: "It has seemed to me that there should be a closer union of all of the business interests of the State, to the end that when the farmer perceives the legislative or oth ■er measures which are necessary to promote his interests, he may confident ly count upon the interest and co-op eration of the great commercial organi zations in securing them. There can be no question as to the potency of public opinion in our system of gov ernment. Every public servant, wheth er a member of the Legislature, an officer of the Commonwealth, or of any municipality, is eager to obey the pop ular will, if that will can be truly and accurately known." Later the board of directors may take some action on pending legislation, and at present the aim of the Chamber is to give publicity to bills of general in terest, and those inimical to business.

BRIGHT FLOWERS GO UNDER THE BAN Benchoff Bill Would Require Removal of All Blue and Yellow Weeds Six of the brightest hued weeds are to bo banned In Pennsylvania under the terms of a bill pending before the House as part of an effort to increase agricultural production. The bill was introduced by Representative L. F. Benchoff. of Franklin county, and would require not only road super visors, but railroads and street rail ways, to join in the weed destroying movement. Under the terms of the bill the State of Pennsylvania formally declares noxious weeds the familiar bright-blue flowered chicory, or -blue devil," as if is known in the agricultural regions of the eastern counties; the Canada thistle, which has been a nuisance for dozens of years and never seems to grow less: the brilliant wild mustard with Its flower the color of the butter cup; the sand brier, the blue weed and the hiebracium aurantiacum, which It called hawkweed for short and has an orange-colored bloom. These plants a , r ® to be banned and destroyed on sight by supervisors of- all highways who are required to kill them before they bloom The act then require; all railroad companies, railwuy com panles, turnpike companies and plank road companies to cut down and die out before going to seed all noxlour weeda growing upon or along theli The bIU has as many teeth as a rak<- and the chief penalty Is a Arte of 5( for failure to do the work. > It Is estimated that the bill wouh" cost transportation und turnpike com panles thousands of dollars a vear an. put townships to big expense, buf would exterminate some of the worsi peits of the farmer in a decade, ' NIGHT SCHOOLS ARE THRIVING Report Shows That There Arc 25,000 Persons Attending Such Schools "Forty-eight school V. \ \ # //J districts of the stato \\\\ J* MVy have ninht schools, Hy according to a re f port compiled for I lie .State Board of Education, by Dr. J. rjuOHRQC George Becht, Its !
