RAILROAD RUMBLES
NEW SHOP ORDER
IN EFFECT HERE
Hcpair Workers Have Been
Overtime, In
cluding Sundays
Plans for longer hours in railroad
shops, in order to hasten repairs,
will result in few changes in this
city, and along the line of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. 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."
To <iraduute Apprentices
Apprentices who have served three
years may be promoted to mechanics'
positions and paid the existing rate
ol wages for that work, the agreement
provides. These promoted apprentices
are to be given the right of practical
experience on work of their trades to
wlileh they had not been advanced
during: the three-year period.
Helpers with five or more years'
experience may be promoted to the
class of mechanics when necessary.
They arc to receive mechanics' wages
and have opportunity to learn all
branches of the trade. The
rr.ent provides that the ratio of pro
moted helpers shall not exceed 20 per
cent, of thp number of mechanics in
any trade in a single shop. The pro
motions for these classes are to be
made on the understanding that they
are necessitated by war emergency
and are to cease at the close of the
v. ar.
Travelog Entertainment
Aids Women's War Relief
Several hundred persons, old and
young. last night were given a de
lightful trip through the Grand Can
yon of Arizona. This is one of the
many prturesque places in the I'nited
.States, and is noted for its gorgeous
scenery. The guide was Dr. A. D.
Williamson, who has traveled every
inch of ground in Arizona.
This noted travelog entertainer il
lustrated his trip with highly colored
slides, showing the many beautiful
spots in Arizona and throughout the
Grand Canyon. The audience was
highly appreciative in the applause.
The trip was just like one would
make on one of the big railroad
t rains that travel this territory.
The entertainment was given under
J lie auspices of the Women's War
Relief Department, and the local di
vision realized SIOO by the sale of
I ickets.

EXTRA SESSION
IDEA KNOCKED
Prominent Dry Advocates De
clare Against Proposition;
Dr. I rich's Idea
Notwithstanding some inspired
remarks about the State Capitol to
day there was little disposition to re
gard an extra session of the gen
eral assembly as a probability and
the fact that no inquiries as to
whether the Departments of Public
Printing or Public Grounds and
Buildings would be prepared to
handle the big lot of extra business
that would fall on tliem in event of
an extra session had been made was
taken as pretty conclusive evidence
that "sentiment had been found
against a <all."
The Governor will bo in Philadel
phia about Monday and some
authoritative statement Is then ex
pected from him.
Considerable interest has been
aroused here by a lirsf page article
j in the Philadelphia Evening Ledger
last night in which the extra session
is declared to to be favored by many
advocates of the prohibition amend
ment. The intimation has been
given here that prohibition amend
ment men were behind the sugges
tion. *
The Evening I.edger says in part:
"So far as support from ardent
advocates of the prohibition amend
ment is concerned, Governor Brum
baugh has little or no backing in his
reported intention to call an extra
session of the Legislature to ratify
this national legislation. A cursory
canvass among politicians of nearly
every line of thought has developed
their opposition, and it may be al
most conclusively added that there
is objection by the advocates of na
tion-wide prohibition. In Philadel
phia it was developed to-day that
such ardent advocates of nation-wide
prohibition as the Rev. Dr. Carl E.
Church Federation; Dr. Homer Tope,
head of the Philadelphia District !
Anti-Saloon League; Bishop Berry, I
of the Methodist .piscopal Church;
the Rev. Dr. IJelk, of the Lutheran '
Church, and other clergymen are
against calling an extra session of
the Legislature. Add to this the
thought of such laymen as Sylvester
a Marvin, president of the National
Biscuit Company; Walter F. Bal
linger, leading architect and engi
neer; George Burnhani. Jr., financier
and social reformer, not to speak of
two of the highest officials of the
Pennsylvania Railroad and two of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, and it
becomes readily apparent that Gov
ernor Brumbaugh has conceived the
idea of an extra session of the Leg
islature without consulting such fac
tors in the prohibition movement."
Representative I. K. Urich, of
Annville, who is said to cherish the
ambition to serve another term in
the Legislature when asked by the
Lebanon News about his ideas con
cerning Governor Brumbaugh's pur
pose to call a special session, he gave
his opinion in his visual straight
forward way.
"What purpose a special session
would serve 1 cannot see. It would
be nothing but an extravagant waste
of money. Governor Brumbaugh
and everybody else knows how the
members stand on Prohibition, and
no reason stands for spending mon
ey to "place them on record." As
to passing a new re-apportionment
bill, it is little short of ridiculous,
and it is questionable whether the
members would pass such a meas
ure with a new United States cen
sus less than two years off. The re
apportionment proposition is political
camouflage. I would suggest that
the Governor do the people of the
state a real service, instead of an
imaginary one, and go in with us to
spend that $500,000 the special ses
sion would cost, for good roads, and
especially for the improvement of
that section of the William Penn
Highway which lies between Harris
burg and Lebanon. To that end
the money would be spent to excel
lent purpose."
Boy Ambitious to
Be Ice Dynamiter
Boston—How'd you like to be the
ice dynamiter? It's the latest in oc
cupations. Ambitious boys about to
embark on a career should now con
sider tHe profession of ice dyna
miter as they do that of the law
yer or doctor.
One progressive member of the
i new band has already realized the
power of advertising. In a news
paper advertisement he announces
! that he is prepared to free ice-bound
harbors, wharves and vessels
quickly, safely and economically. %
Anyone owning a frozen river or
I harbor is invited to call.
Webster Building Is
100 Per Cent. Plus in
Big Red Cross Drive
The Webster public school is 100
per cent. plus, in the big Red Cross
drive to enroll all the children of
Harrisburg as Junior members of tUe
Red Cross. Under the direction of
Miss Julia J. Ryan, the supervisory
1 rineipal, tlie teaching corps has been
doing volunteer work among the
pupils, with the result that the 543
pupils enrolled there have subscribed
545 memberships in the Red Cross, of
which seventy-eight ate senior mem
berships. In all, the children have
raised $136.25 for the Red Cross,
which they believe to be as good a
record a-s-there is in all Central Penn
sylvania.
Sweater Note Brings
Reply to "Grandma"
Lonaconing. Md.—Among the
sweaters sent recently by Lonaconing
women to the Red Cross for ship
ment to the expeditionary army was
one knitted by "Grandma" Bradley,
ninety-two, in which she inserted a
note in one of the sleeves asking
the soldier who received it to write
her a letter. She had just received
a reply from France. The sweater
was received by a Lonaconing boy,
a lad whom she had known when lie
was a child.

"Nothing But the Truth" will be told at the Orpheum next Tuesday

laughter and fosters mirth. The hero starts out to win a SIO,OOO wager bv

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."
HART JUSTIFIES
ALL ADMIRATION
Appears in Beautiful Photo
play, "Blue Blazes' Raw
den" at Regent
I "Blue Blazes' Rawden," which was
j shown for the first times at the Re
i sent Theater yesterday, is a thrilling
j melodrama and a feature as a glance
at the title Implies starring William
!S. Hart, the greatest delineator of
j western character ' parts. Judging
! front the attendance at all exhibitions
jof Hart photoplays. Harrisburg is
going crazy over the noted star. The
' admiration he everywhere receives is I
i fully justified by his performance in
! "Blue Blazes' Rawden," his latest ve-
I hicle. As in former appearances, he
lis his usual fine, silent, dominating
'and smouldering self.
• "Blue Blazes .Rawden" is beautiful-
J ly screened as to exteriors. The scenes
| of the lumber camp in the Canadian
i Northwest confirm all that the sub
| titles say regarding "God's great ca
! thedral, the forest." The interiors
present a backwoods hotel of the bet- |
ter type, with bar, dance hall and I
gambling rooms, giving the picture
a true Hart atmosphere. The photog
| rephy throughout is all that could be
desired.
| This pholoplay has for Its theme the
j awakening of a rough, brutalized man
i to a sense of better things through
j the appeal of a woman has lost
her own son and takes the rough
woodsman to her heart In place of the
boy she has lost. The scenario was
written by J. G. Hawks and the pro
' duction was personally staged by
Hart, under the supervision of Thomas
|H. Ince. It will be exhibited to-day
j and to-morrow at the Regent.
"The World For Sale"
at Regent Next Week
! A story that breathes the very es
senee of the out-of-doors and the
II charm of gypsy lore, together with a
love story of unusual interest, is Sir
i Gilbert Parker's "The World For
! Sale," which was chosen by J. Stuart
j Blackton for his first release since
j transferring his activities to Para
| mount, and which will be exhibited
lat the rtegent on Monday, Tuesday
I and Wednesday of next week. The
I scenes are laid in Canada and deal
with the fued between two small
l township, one a French Canadian, the
other strongly Kngllsh, as well as
' with the adventures of Max lngolby,
; who is one of the three men in love
with charming Fleda Druse, the hero
; ine. How he wins out, although han
dicapped by the temporary loss of his

two rivals, makes a thrilling photo-
Play, which will linger in the memory
;as a fragrant breeze from Romany
! Itself.

MAJESTIC BILL
IS PLEASING
Vaudeville Program Includes
Fine Music and Plenty
of Comedy
.
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.

a scream, and the whole forms what

At the which will be shown at the
Victoria Victoria Theater, the big
Market street Movie House,
to-day only.
Uove interest and romance were
never so well blended as in this vi
brant drama. Add to this tile great
attraction and winsomeness of the
dainty lady in the leading role und
there is a production strong and grip-
P '"o much for the feature picture. In
addition, Charlie Chaplin's double is
on the bill to-day in "The Stranger."
This picture is in itself worth the
price of admission. It is a continuous
laugn from the time it is thrown on
the scraen to thft very end. And there
will be a special muscial program on
the $25,000 Hope-Jones unit organ by
Professors Mcßride and Mcintosh.
The beautiful star of stage and
screen, Alice Brady, is the attraction
at the Colonial
Alice Brndy In Theater to-day
"Woman and Wife" and to-morrow
in the Selznick
picture, "Woman and Wife." This
is a picture rich in dramatie situa
tions with the star figuring promi
nently in all of them. Miss Brady is
a brilliant emotional actress, and
; gives a performance that is a triumph
lin dramatic art. Her acting at all
times carries an appeal that cannot
fail to touch the hearts of those in
the audience. The story contains
plenty of heart- interest, and the char
acters portrayed by the different
members of the cast are those whom
we know and come in contact with
dav after day. "Woman and Wife" is
pronounced the type of attraction that
will appeal to all.
