Officials at Steelton since the plants were taken over by Schwab have had charge of the operation | of blast furnace properties at Leba | non. The new changes place this i work in charge of John P. Brock. Bents Are Popular Removal of Quincy Bent from I Steelton will bo regretted by resi | dents, especially the businessmen with whom he has been so closely connected for the rast two years. Both he and Mrs. Bent have been very active in municipal and wel fare work in tho steel town. Mr. Bent has been general man ager of the Steelton plant for about two years. He was active in every war fund campaign that has been waged in the borough. In both Lib erty Loan campaigns: the Y. M. C. A. War Fund campaign and Bed Cross work, Mr. Bent took a dis tinguished part. From the time he located here, Mr. Bent was very active in munici pal development. Although not com ing into public notice in many moves it was his judgment and ability that made them, successful. Mr. Bent was elected to serve the unexpired term of W. F. Darby in the school board last year. At the expiration of the term he was unanimously re elected and was chosen as president of the board for the second time. Many Activities It was Mr. Bent's planning and work that was responsible for the patriotic parade in Steelton in the summer, the largest in the town's history. Mrs. Bent has been a leading spirit in welfare work in Steelton. It was through her influence and splendid work that the Steelton Chapter was organized and which to day holds*one of tho best records among Pennsylvania Chapters for output of garments. Mrs. Bent is Vtairman of the Steelton Chapter and it is with regret that officers and members of this organisation heard of the removal of Mr. Bent. In Line With Policies The changes made in tho Bethle -Item steel official forces here in line with the polices outlined by Mr. Schwab when he took over the Pennsylvania Steel properties, he and President Grace both making it clear that there would be no prefer ences at Steelton for outsido men and that promotions at Steelton would be made in so far as possible from among men who had shown their worthiness. The advancements announced to-day therefore are matters of great congratulation for those -who fl'ere promoted, for :liey bear the stamp of approval of the great steel master himself which is one of the hijfhest compliments any man can have in the steel trad a to day, amounting in importance to the honors which Andrew Carnegie used to confer upon his lieutenants in the old days at Pittsburgh. Mr. Schwab's opinion of Mr. Bent was summed up in a single sentence during an address made here at a dinner of the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce in his honor when lie said that "no matter what the plants at Steelton are worth In procuring the servioes of Quincy Bent the Bethlehem Steel Company got the full value for its money." II has been under tho guildin% hand of Mr. Bent, assisted by Mr. Bobbins, that the immense improve ments amounting to something like nine or ten millions or dollars planned for Steelton were outlined and due to their energetic manage ment Steelton has blossomed like the proverbial rose and thousands of men have been added to the pay rolls. Working conditions have been greatly improved under the manage ment and every man in the employ of the company has had his wages advanced several times. Freight-Moving Week Gets Good Start at Phila.

SITUATION Brotherhood to Stand Back of Nation During War Crisis Resolutions endorsing President i oodrow Wilson's action in naming 1 Secretary McAdoo as general director j or railroads, were adopted to-day by the legislative board of the Order of | Hallway Conductors. Representatives I have been unable to reach any definite I agreement as to what legislation wili be necessary. It is probable the board will adjourn to-day and convene later on the call of tho chairman, S. R. furiier. The following was unani mously' adopted: Resolved that the action of Presi dent Wilson, in taking under govern ment control, all the railroads of the country, be approved by this conven ti'Jii for the following reasons: i That this action was necessary at this time In orddV to make the rall | ways a real factor in the national war machine. That tho railroads have failed to bring their operations up to the high standard which the national emer gency requires. That the plan of stock brokers se curing and controlling proxies of the owners of railroad stock and electing inefficient operating heads, who have employed u larg.? army of unneces sary agi nts and not a sufficient num. ber of real railroad workers has had a sufficient test to demonstrate thut j it will not do. That the socalled scarcity and | shortage of coal and foodstuffs is not really a shortage or a scarcity of these necessities, but has been due j to inefficient transportation facilities and want of .proper distribution of these articles. Censure For Railroad* That the responsibility for these conditions rests with the railroad managers and in their desire to se cure a large amount of mileage for their companies on all shipments. Their unpatriotic conduct in failing to co-operate among themselves lias contributed largely to the distress and suffering experienced by the people during the past month. That the railroads must be operated as a single system under the direc tion of an operating head appointed by the President, and we approve of the appointment of the William O. McAdoo, director general of all rail roads for this purpose, and hereby pledge to the government of these Vnit.ed States our hearty co-operation and support to speed up thU govern ment control to the end that the many peoples may be relieved of the many hardships suffered under the old man agement of the railroads. Furthermore, we subscribed to the belief that the efficiency and econ omiesy secured to all the peoples of the country by this government con trol, will result in the people remain, ing in control of the railroads of the country and eventually becoming the absolute owners thereof. We have outlived and outgrown private con' trol and ownership of these neces sary articles of transportation. Federal Ownership Would Hurt State Governor Brumbaugh to-day took steps to bring to attention of state representatives in Congress the prob lems attending federal ownership of railroads. The following statement was is sued by his office: "The Governor has written to United States Senator Knox and members of the House, calling their attention to a very critical situation ithat may arise in the taking over -of the railroads by the federal govern ment. Such a commanding part of the revenues of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania come from taxes on these railroads that any change in management which would impair that revenue would compel a prompt revision of the whole taxing system , of this Commonwealth. "The Governor has urged upon the officials at Washington the im portance of conserving Pennsylva nia s taxing right over these cor porations during the period of gov ernment control."
