WOMEN VOTERS
AID PROHIBITION
New York Town Election Tak
en as Indication of How
They Will Use Influence
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 28.—What the
State Legislature will do about pro
hibition is likely to be governed
largely by the sentiment aiuong the
new women voters of the state. Pol
iticians and legislators are eagerly
tnuiqring how the nearly 2,000,000
additional voters are likely to act.
not only on prohibition, but on such
questions as municipal ownership,
and in fact all questions hitherto re
garded by the mass of male voters
as radical.
For example, the determination of
certain political leaders to force a
repeal of the direct primary law at
this sesion has already encountered
a snag of opposition from certain
leaders In the women's organiza
tions. Students of politics who as
sume that in the aggregate women
will vote as their husbands, brothers
or fathers ask them to do, find their
theory is wrong. There is a large
but yet unknown element among
women who have thought a great
deal about public questions and will
vote as they please.
This was shown in a recent elec
tion in Lisle, a small town in
Broome County. The town had been
evenly divided between the liquor
and anti-liquor voters, but at the
January election, in which women
participated for the first time stnee
they were enfranchised, the town
went dry by an overwhelming' ma
jority. About one-half of the women
entitled to vote took part, and they
were practically unanimous In favor
of abolishing the liquor traffic.
Under the law, women are not
qualified to vote because no regis
tration law has yet been provided by
the Legislature. The first woman
to cast her vote at Lisle was chal
lenged, but they continued to vote
under protest and it is doubtful
whether the technicality will be tak
en into the courts. A bill has been
introduced to enable all women vot
ers to register as well as to enroll
in political parties, the latter enab
ling them to take part in the pri
mary election.
In the opinion of Senator William
H. Hill, who represents Broome
County, the Lisle election is a fair
criterion of what is expected to hap
pen throughout New York State, es
pecially in the rural districts.
While the federal prohibition
amendment will undoubtedly pass
in the assembly, it is not so cer
tain to win in the Senate. The sen
ators, like Senator Hill, who have
been active for such legislation for
two years, are confident that the
more the members hear from the
folks at home the more willing they
will be to support the amendment
and that during the next month
there will be little left of the oppo
sition.
"Xew York State will be as dry
as Kansas after the women have had
h chance at the polls on the question
of prohibition," declared Senator
Hill. "I look for many Xew York
cities to go that way at the April
elections, when they will have their
first opportunity to pass on the
question of license or no-liceijse."
Governor Whitman, according to
his friends, will receive the support
of the women temperance voters be
cause of what he has done to pro
mote legislation of that kind. As
lie was also a strong advocate of
votes for women during the recent
campaign, it is believed he will be
l'avord by the suffragists.
On the question also if direct pri
maries or the attempt of some mem
bers of the Legislature to restore
the old state nomination convention,
the Governor is supposed to please
a large element among women vot
ers. Where they have made known
their sentiment on the subject, they
are very much opposed to any at
tempts to tamper with the primary
law in a reactionary way. That is,
they will resist all efforts made to re
turn to what they call the boss sys
tem.
Although the state primary day
for the nomination of Governor and
other state officials is eight months
away. William M. Bennett declares
publicly that there will bo a well
organized opposition to Governor
Whitman in the primaries. He said
he was in a position to make this
announcement definite after visiting
both Albany and Washington, and!
after consultation with party lead- 1
ors.
"He Comes Up Smiling"
Easiest thing in the world to radiate good cheer,
and it helps one ahead.
Cut out the harmful habits. Treat the nerves right
and get proper sleep. If you're a coffee drinker the
first step is to use

TUESDAY EVENING, HARJRISBURG TELEGRAPH JANUARY 23, 1918.
([LABOR UNION NOTES I
Local Union No. 411, Painters and
Decorators held its regular weekly
meeting Tuesday evening. January
15. Three new members were added
to the roll, and new working rules
were finally adopted, after the en
dorsement of the General Executive
Board had been received. Hereto
fore this craft has been working for
common laborers' wages, contrary
to the fact that it is the most im
portant one in the building trade, for
Instance —Who covers up the de
fects? The rtiarks left on wood and
plaster, answer, the Painter and
Decorator. Who makes the home
sanitary and beautiful? Answer,
the Painter and Decorator. So the
members of 411 have decided to
climb out of the common labor class
and ask for 50 cents per hour and
an eight-hour day, with a half holi
day on Saturday and the regular
overtime rates.
Plumbers Union Xo. 520 held an
other wide-awake meeting Wednes
day, January 16, and adopted the
new scale for plumbers and steam
fitters of 62 H cents per hour and an
eight-hour day, the agreements will
be placed In the hands of Business
Manager Brooks as soon as they are
ratified by the Building Trades
Council,
On Thursday evening, January 17,
Carpenters and Joiners Union Xo.
287 held one of the largest meet
ings for some time despite the fact
so many of its members are away
working on Government jobs. The
amendment to the General Consti
tution to change the meeting of the
General Convention from every two
years to every four years was adopt
ed by a vote of seventy-five to two.
This change will mean the saving
of almost SIOO,OOO every two years
if the organization in general votes
in favor of it. The new.wage scale
and working rules were finally
adopted and after they are ratified
by the Building Trades Council, they
will be turned over to the business
manager.
H. M. Brooks, business manager
of the Building Trades Council, an
nounces that as soon as the new
scales and working rules for 191S
are turned over to him, he will pre
sent copies to the different contrac
tors for consideration, and would
deem it a great favor if the em
ployers would arrange to meet him
and the executive board of the
above council for the purpose of
getting final action. While this city
has been far behind some others in
the way of wages, it is gradually
coming to the front, but will still
have to go some to compete with
the following as regards carpenters
wages: Reading. Pa., 60 cents per
hour, forty-four-hour week, Easton,
Bethlehem, Allentown. Pa., and
Phillipsburg, X. J„ 65 cents per
hour. Delaware County District,
Chester. Media and Clifton Heights.
70 cents per hour: York, Pa., scale
in 1917 was "7 cents per hour, ten
hour day, 191S will be $4.50 per day
and a nine-hour day. The other
branches of the building trades are
practically within the same line of
figures as the above.
The conditions on the various
large jobs, at Philadelphia, Bristol,
Pa.; Camden, X. J., and Baltimore,
Md., have not improved any as yet,
while there is work for hundreds
of men, the housing conditions are
not what they should be, nor enough
of them, so it is advisable for men
to stay away at present except in
some trades, such as riveters, sheet
metal workers, caulkers, and ship
wrights, who are needed badly.
Complete details will be furnish
ed on request, or apply at the office,
211 LocHst street, 12-1, 4.30, 6.30,
7—9 P. M.
The business manager of the
Building Trades Council wishes to
call attention to the following: That
while there is a large number of
our men in the building trades away
working on the Government jobs,
and quite a number of men from
the different unions in the service,
and a still greater number subject
to the draft, and may be called, the
balailce are standing ready to do
their bit. At the same time we are
doing our best to keep our home
employers cheerful, by keeping up
the supply of men, but if they (the
employers) don't soon get on the
job, and work with us, we will not
be able to guarantee anything, ana
It may perhaps be that you gentle
men (employers) will follow suit
as per what the Railroad Workers
of lit 18, the official organ of the
American Federation of Railroad
Workers, quotes of an article which
appeared in the Detroit Tribune to
the effect that a millionaire mine
owner of New York City and Mar
quette, Michigan, proposes to bring
to America live hundred thousand
(500,000) Chinese coolies for agri
culture work.
Now, according to this great "pa
triotic" American, "The agricultural
problem of our country would be
solved' if the American Government
would set aside the present Chinese
exclusion act which would give him
the opportunity of bringing to our
country five hundred thousand Chi
nese coolies, rent them out as so
many horses for $1.50 or *2.ou per
day and their board, which amount
this great "patriot" would collect
and in turn pay his dear slaves 6u
or 80 cents per day. The wage of
bO or SO cents per day (he states)
would be a big inducement to the
coolies, and after three years they
could go back to China with suitt
clent money to buy a small farm and
and live happidly the rest of their
lives. Beautiful ending (live happily
the rest of their lives), somewhat
like a dream. Assuredly this blind
man realizes that In solving the
agricultural problem in this manner
he would plunge our Government
into problems more difficult to ad
just than this. While It is admitted
that America is sending millions of
her men to the army and all essen
tial industries are speending up and
increasing their output, yet it is not
admitted that the supply of labor
is not adequate. There is a short
age of labor in some places and a
surplus in others.
m' 1 '? con^'"on is being adjusted
dally by the combined efforts of the
Federal and state employment sys
tems, of which our office has become
part and will co-operate to bring
the department up to the' highest
point attainable. The right result
will be effected without any impo
♦i ? n !!P on ' a b° r anc * in a manner
that will protect the interests of the
brave American boys who have join
ed the army. This will be further
effected by the intelligent mobiliza
tion and training of the workers by
employers in each industrial com
munity.
This great millionaire patriot evi
dently forgets in his mad scheme to
make millions under the guise of
!X if? l , he problem,
that the days of slavery are no more
in America, and that different states
have laws on their statute books
which take care of exploiters of la
bor Xow then, let us go a step
farther, in the past, you (employ
ers) have had some trouble from
time to time; but have we not played
fair, now to eliminate all future dif
ficulties and gain the point we are
all after, consider this that Trade
Union recognition is the first essen
tial if you would assist in the mini
nizing of industrial dissatisfaction.
We want you to recognize us and
get together with us. surely we are
not all boneheads, and can realize
that by doing this, we will begin to
educate the poorest workman vou
have, to the fact that he must smoke
up, learn more of his trade, as he
will have to do anyway, for the con
struction of buildings has so chang
ed, some men don't know where to
begin. Personally I extend you an
invitation to call on me or have me
meet you and get together on this
great subject.
While 1 have been accused of tak
ing your men from some of you, it
was done for the purpose of assist
ing Uncle Sam and the betterment
of the men's conditions, a number of
the men were your poorest work
men, as has been stated to me at
difteren times, but they had to have
a chance, and if you will wake up
and consider these things, and con
fer with us, you will soon sec lVow
wo did it.
Get in line with me, and see what
new system is going to be tried and
pushed to perfection.
Yours very trulv,

HOW GERMANY
CONTROLS PRESS
By Monopolizing Advertising
Kaiser Is Able to Manipu
late Newspapers
Paris, Jan. 23.—The writer so
well known under the pen name of
Lysis has contributed a series of ar
ticles to L'Homme Libre containing
pome very remarkable revelations on
the subject of Greman manipulation
ot the press in different European
countries. His first article fs headed
\\ orse than Bolo" and Lysis goes
on to justify this statement and to
explain his meaning. In order to in
fluence the press, he says, one' may
buy newspapers; but besides the
enorrpous cost of this procedure
there is also the difficulty of keep
ing the name of the purchaser se
cret, while as soon as the name be
comes kn§wn, if it Is that of a some
what suspicious character, the cred
it of the newspaper is gone. Ger
many adopts a much more practic
al and certain plan, and this Is to
monopolize the advertisements, or in
other words to capture all the ad
vertising and to concentrate it in the
hands of one firm. In order to do
this the agency begins by giving sep
arate advertisements to the news
paper, and then offers to make a
contract to supply its fourth page
in a way which saves the news
paper all further trouble, while the
agency becomes its principal custo
mer and the source of its takings—
cannot the rest be easily Imagined?
asks Lysis.
This German enterprise exists, he
declares; It is being carried on in
r ranee, in full war time, under the
nose of the Government, of the law
officers and the police. In Berlin it
is called Haasenstein and Vogler, but
in Palis its name is the Societe Euro
peene de Publicite, and if that seems
extraordinary, says Lysis, there are
even mote remarkable facts to fol
low. Haasenstein and Vogler of Ber
lin is a vast advertising agency
which concentrates the distribution
of advertisements in its own hands,
pnd if it did this in Germany only
he would have nothing to say about
it, declares Lysis; for he is not one
of those people who object to the
Germans arranging their own affairs
he only asks that his fellow coun
trymen may do the same. Germany,
however, is an exporting country
and it is a feature common to ail
Germanic enterprise that once it is
successful it must proceed to the ex
ploitation of neighboring and, as it
considers, inferior peoples. Haasen
stein and Vogler acts as follows: It
is not enough for the firm to exer
cise a monopoly in Germany, it must
conquer in Switzerland, Italy, and
France; it also has designs on
America and England. This is all so
well known that it is mentioned in
an article by M. I'Abbe. Wctterle,
who remarks that prreat advertising
agencies like Haasenstein and Vogor
have covered the world with a net
work of advertisements, and it can
easily be seen how well adapted such
a Arm is to become the agent of its
Government, to get Information for
it and to influence opinion in for
eign countries in the desired direc
tion.
L.vsis goes on to say that he pro
poses to describe the activities of
Haasenstein and Vogler in Italy,
and he begins by stating that the
German agency controlled the ad
vertising of 96 Italian newspapers
before the war, while even more
startling is the fact that even now,
in full war time, it has the monop
oly of the advertising in 81 Italian
newspapers. The pressure exercised
by the agency of Haasenstein and
Vogler on the Italian newspapers was
so great that M. Jean Ajalbert. writ
ing from Italy, said to the Xouvelle
Revue of February 1, 1917, that
"Here as elsewhere Germany has
taken her precautions. During 30
years of friendship her agents had
naturally found their way into edi
tor's rooms and into printing houses.
They employed, however, more cer
tain means and they had monopo
lized the advertising: by means of the
so-called Swiss agency ol' Haasen
stein and Vogler, which had been
working vigorously since the begin
ning of the war. The big newspa
pers had been able to resist this and
to hold their own, but a certain num
ber had been faced with the alter
natives of shutting: down or giving
way, or, in other words, printing
news with a certain bias and so play
ing the game of the Central Em
pires. The agency of Haasenstein
and Vogler gave out or refused ad
vertisements, or in other words their
livelihood, to the poorer news
papers."
Council Approves Bond
of New City Treasurer
Council in special session this
afternoon approved the bond of
City Treasurer-elect Clarence E.
Weber. Upon taking office Mr.
Weber immediately began prepara
tions for issuing the 18,000 tax
statements which have been delayed
because of council's failure to "fill
the office.
Sir. Weber announced to-day that
Joseph A. Minnaugh, who had been
a clerk in the office for more than
a year, ivili be chief clerk. Mr
Minnaugh prior to entering the city
treasurer's office had been in the
employ of one of the city's bonks
for a number of years.
Yesterday and to-day hundreds of
friends of Mr. Weber extended con
gratulations to him. While it was
reported weeks ago that his name
had been mentioned as one of the
many candidates his election yes
terday was a surprise to many.
More Money Than Needed
Is Subscribed For Flag
Halifax Pa., Jan. 23.—Funds be
ing collected in Halifax to pay for
this handsome service flat; has gone
completely over the top and pro
vided more funds than were actually
needed. The sum contributed from
all sources was $28.09 and the flag
and the expenses incurred amount
leav'n K a balance of
$16.20. The expenses of the Rev.
Harry Daniels, of Sinnemahoning,
Cameron county, who made the ad
dress at the service Incidental to the
unfurling of the flag, amounting to
sl4, were refunded to the commit
tec in charge when a check was re
ceived Saturday by If. S. Potter from
the War Advisory Board of the
State Camp of the P. O. S. of A ,
covering that amount. The reason
of the excess amount of money in
the treasurer's hands is that the
committee expected to pay a higher
price for the flag than the bill
amounted to. The surplus money
will be kept in trust by G. M. Smith
and should this flag wear out it will
be replaced by a new one.

What Spain Knows
About Mr. Trozky
Madrid. f Spain, Jan. 23.—The re
markable disclosure is now made
that only a little more than a vear
ago Mr. Trozky, of Russian revo
lutionary fame, was incarcerated in
a Spanish prison, and his case at
the time was distinctly unpleasant.
Practically the next thing heard of
him, after he was liberated by the
Spaniards, was that he was playing
a leading part in the Russian deb
acle, for they had ceased to take
any interest in him. The discovery,
or remembrance, is now first made
by the newspaper El Liberal, which,
after asking the questions, "Who is
Lenine?" and "Who is Trozky?" pro
ceeds to give some answer.
It says: "Since the month of Au
gust, 1914, we have been living in
the land of fancy, and the most un
likely things are coming to pass.
Trozky, the terrible Russian agitator,
was imprisoned in Madrid, on No
vember 13, 1916; a year later he is
Minister of Foreign Affairs. Whal
: irony! Trozky was born in South
ern Russia, and when only 17 had
I already begun to attack the Gov
ernment in the newspapers. At the
age of 19 he was deported to Sibe
ria, where he became acquainted
with Lenine. Like him, he succeed
ed in escaping and reached Austria,
where lie continued to work for the
revolutionary cause. In 1905" he was
at Petrograd, where he presided over
a workmen's congress, but he was
obliged to take flight to Germany,
where he published a book on the
Russian revolution, which was ex
tensively read.
"From Germany he went on to
Prance and at the beginning of the
war was editing a newspaper there
called the Nosche Sova, which, be
ing: of an extremely pacifist charac
ter, brought about his expulsion.
Thence he took refuge in Spain, and
established himself at San Sebas
tian, but not feeling very comfort
able there, he moved in turn to Bil
bao, Barcelona and Vigo, with the
intention of departing from the lat
ter port to America. The police,
however, arrested him, and he was
transferred to a prison in Madrid.
Whilst imprisoned he gave the im
pression of being a cultivated and
intelligent man. lie remained in
prison four days and was set at lib-
