ONE CONSUMER IS
NOT PRIVILEGED
Important Ruling Made To
day by the Public Serv
ice Commissioner
sion in an "opinion
the Telford
joining districts in
M on tgo ni er y
county, to make improvements to its
st&ndpipe and service which would
apparently benefit only one consum
er and suggests that the complainant,
the D G. Dery silk mill, install new
appliances or else get water from the
borough of Souderton. It is found
that to give the service asked by the
mill Would compel the company to]
raise its standpipe and that no oth
er consumers have complained, so
that "it does not seem necessary to
require it to operate its plant at the
maximum or to incur the expense of
increasing the height of the stand
pipe to serve this one customer."
The New York Central Railroad Is
directed to improve Its station fa-,
cilities at Clearfield in the complaint
of W. I. Bett- of that place, in an
opinion by Chairman Ainev, who
Unds that the present station is in
adequate, but also holds that the
company. In view of the national
emergency, should not be too heav
ily burdened with ccst. "The Com
mission is constrained," he says, "to
so frame its order as not presently
to interfere with'the national pur
pose. but at the same time it can not
overlook the public need here pre- \
sented." An order is issued for plans
to be filed by the company by July
1. 1918, and.it will be directed, ac
cording to the order, to begin con-1
struction within two years thereafter.;

sions of the state code to govern!

After Snow. —Officials of the State
Highway Department have sent
hurry calls for the snowplows or
ile-ed some time ago to keep the
state highways open for across-state
traffic to relieve railroads. The
big snow has kept the maintenance
force stepping.

One Workingman
I Said:-
"Some of us fellows in the Shop were discussing
your Ad. in the Telegraph last evening and I want to say
you have made a lot of friends among the working people,
by the stand you have taken about remaining closed eve
nings. Your stand is right along the lines of labor re
form movements —and in accordance with the principles
of the legislation in this and other states, for the protec
tion and betterment of wage earners. The excuse of some
merchants that it is necessary to keep open in the eve
nings—to accommodate the public is old and selfish. It
contradicts what has been conceded to be unnecessary as
well as morally wrong by men and women who have
studied the labor situation."
We appreciate the fact that the public, or a large ele
ment, at least, understands and approves of our determi
nation to remain closed evenings— except as stated—
THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY and MONDAY
December 20, 21, 22, and 24
In spite of the fact that a number of our competitors are
open every evening.
We again ask your co-operation in upholding a policy that
means much to you, the members of your family and society
We havs the courage to do what we believe is fair to those em
ployed in our stores. We also have the courage and disposition
to treat you just as fairly and just as liberally when you come here
to make your purchases.
~We suggest again that you come in early and make your selec
tions which will insure prompt and satisfactory deliveries.
