Reading ofllcials also .report that for some time shop employes have been putting in ten hour days and working on Sundays. In the Harrisburg shops there have been frequent intervals when men worked all night. The plans announc ed fr6m Washington yesterday will affect 300,000 workmen, it is said. At shops and roundhouses now working one shift which totals less 1 hail seventy hours per week, an in crease in working hours will be made probably on a seven-day basis. Some Eleven Honrs In certain shops, where congestion is most serious, men may be required j to work ten or even eleven hours with overtime pay on the present basis pending consideration by the railroad wage commission. In certain shops arrangements will be made to I quit work at 4 p. in. one day of each | week. Local provisions on working! ing hours will be determined by rail- ' road executives in conference with i railroad administration ofllcials anil union leaders. The agreement provides for main tenance of open shop and nondsicrimj nation on the ground of union condi tions in these words: "Mechanics applying for employ ment will not be denied such em ployment for any cause other than inability to perforin work."

TWENTY-TOUR HOURS "Nothing But the Truth" will be told at the Orpheum next Tuesday matinee and night, when James Montgomery's farce will lie seen here for the second time. It is said to be a real farce—that is, a play that begets laughter and fosters mirth. The hero starts out to win a SIO,OOO wager bv telling the truth for a certain period, but before half the allotted time has elapsed, he has created havoc among his friends and associates all in a funny way. that's all. Nothing serious in this play—not a line, scene or situation. SPROUL HAILED IN PITTSBURGH Philadelphia North American Commends Speech; Scott and Maekev Duck Pennsylvania will do its part Inj the national crisis with whole heart j and with the spirit of patriotism! which has characterized it from tliej days of 1776 and is too big a state | to be governed in a mean, narrow I or factional way," declared Senator! William C. Sproul, speaking at the! banquet of the Native Sons in Pitts-' burgh last night. The senator was' the chief speaker. Chairman Harry i A. Mackey, of the State Compensa- J tion Board, and Congressman John R. K. Scott, Yare. leaders, who had | wired acceptances and in one case sent an advance co>-- of a speech, ] remaining away. Mackey wired that j he was sick. The Philadelphia North American says 1,500 people greeted the sena-1 tor, while the Public Ledger says that there was a notable gathering, including Secretary of internal At fairs Paul W. Houck, State Chair man Crow, Representative R. P., Habgood, of McKean county, candi date for governor; John S. Fisher, of Indiana and many prominent, men. The Inquirer says: "Mayor E. V.] Babcock and practically the entire city administration, including a quorum of the City Council, con trolled by supporters of former Ma yor William A. Magee, were on hand at the banquet last night and many of the officials were among those calling on Senator Sproul ,to pay their respects during the day. j Allegheny county officials, headed i by Chairman A. C. Uumbert, of the county commissioners, and a Magee j supporter, were practically all on hand, while Magee himself, absent, has not yet taken a stand. To-day's meeting emphasized the western trend toward Sproul, and as far as Allegheny county and Pittsburgh are concerned, made it just a little plain er that if Magee himself, in defer ence to Governor Brumbaugh, should finally line up behind State High way Commissioner O'Neil for gover nor. he would lose eighty per cent, of his supporters here, who would go over to Sproul. Sproul sentlmenf, rapidly solidifying in the west, the senator himself improved 'upon at last night's banquet, when, despite the temptation of the flattering re ception given him, steered clear of politics in his speech entirely." Of the speech the North American says: "He commended the humane laws which have been passed in Pennsyl vania, and said that the state can not take any backward step in this direction and that, with its infinite resources, its availability to mar kets and its favorable situation In regard to costs of production, it can afford always to be a leader in those progressive movements which look toward complete Justice to those who toil with their hands and minds that the community might be great and prosperous. "Senator Sproul said that the one tremendous issue before the people of Pennsylvania more than any oth er state ih the union, is the co-or dination of all our activities in the great task of winning the war. "If America should not be success ful in this way," he said, "other is sues will matter little, and we must subordinate every ambition, ■ every enterprise and every activity toward the ultimate end of seeing our nation through its most vital undertaking. Upon the issue of the war and how our people meet it depends our very existence as a nation, and whether we shall be as we ore now, a freo people, or whether we shall be gov erned by an autocrack or by what is worse, anarchy and disloyalty." "He said that Pennsylvania is the most self-contained Commonwealth in the world in that it has nearly every material resource needed in modern life, including food, fuel, metal and constructive materials, and ranks among the great states of the world, being greater in oopula tion, in wealth and in general im portance than mar... 0 f the nations. Such a state should be an inspiration for its own people, and its public enterprises, its public spirit and Its government should be upon a broad, generous and progressive plane. "In place of Scott was substituted General A. J. Logan, recently retired by the War Department as com mander of the Fifty-sixth Brigade, formerly the Second Brigade, Penn sylvania National Guard, at Camp Hancock, Ga. He was given a warm welcome to Pittsburgh, and there was talk of him for some office on | the state ticket with Sproul."

With Lew Welch and Company and the Six Kii'ksmith Sisters as leading' attractions and three other line vaude- j ville offerings on (he bill, the Majestic! program for the lust half of the week j is equal to the best that has been | lUM-sented in the city this season. I A novelty is furnished in the open- i ing act when Will and iCinda Newman, 1 after the usual unicydc feats, give a j boxing match while on wheels. The | "scrap" is a laughable one, and serves as a tine close for the pair. Alt Qrant, monolog artist, has a lonn string of jokes, some of them given too close together, the audience missing them entirely, ills song num- | bers are Cloved, and one of thenli is a new version of the "live-and-ten." ] "The Prodigal Father," Lew Welch's! copiedy skit was fairly successful in | continuing the comedy part of the | show. l,i w was remembered by a few in the audience last night, but should have been given a better re ception. Miller and Lyles. colored comedians. , start the laughter almost as soon as they came on, and keep tip their' jokes until the .audience almost pleads; for a let-up so they can get their breath. The boxing match, given as j an eccentric dance, is well played. The Six Kirksmith Sisters have one of the best musical offerings present- | ed here in weeks. Starting with u| vocal sextet of the "Missouri" waltz, j they make a decided hit. The re- j irainder of their program includes a ; violin solo; cornet. trombone and saxaphone trio, each instrument giv ing a solo part in turn; a vocal solo, I and finally "Your Country and My Country," by the entire company.

It the Truth" comes with thehighest commendation, from neighboring cities, as the highest type of farcical play, and will be in terpreted bv a cast that we are prom ised will be all that could be desired in a play whose sole mission is to cre ate laughter and drive from our midst for the time, all thoughts of troub lous things. The plot of this play ! is unique, as by telling nothing but I the truth, the central character of the story rreates nothing but compli cations and upsets those involved in the story. Each scene is a laugh or a scream, and the whole forms what has been pronounced—A great, big telling tribute .to good nature. Pretty June Elvidge is at her best in "The Strong Way," a picture of unusual heart interest At the which will be shown at the Victoria Victoria Theater, the big Market street Movie House, to-day only.

Her acting at all times carries an appeal that cannot fail to touch the hearts of those in the audience.
