Its motto is: 'One rail j road, one organization' and its prin , cipals are 'unity, fraternity and pro j tection,' and i "Whereas, It is the opinion of the members of Keystone Lodge Xo. 42. I Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, i that the American Federation of Railroad Workers is detrimental to the interests of our brotherhood, in advocating 'one railroad, one broth erhood,' and "Whereas, The American Federa tion of Labor, through its president.

It is Also Free From Normal Federal Income Tax. RUBBER manufacture has reached a stability and strength that classes it with the major industries. Next to iron and steel, rubber stands out as a product in almost universal demand. The growth of the rubber busi ness has been amazing. It is going on today with phenomenal acceleration. A conservative and well-managed rubber enterprise, in our opinion, offers security to the investor that is excelled in no other line. We offer the preferred seven largest concerns in staple demand.

DENNY O'NEIL TO DISCUSS SPROUL I- Says That He Will Study An-; nouiiccinent an<l Mnke >] Comment Thereon "I may have a statement cither to- I 1 night or to-morrow on Senator j Sprout's platform. I am studying j what lie Maid," said Highway Com m.ssioner J. l>enn\ o'Nell to-day on | his return from Philadelphia. When ! •iked If ho had anything t 1 say re- ! gardlug being a candidate if lie j should be defeated. Air. O'Xell said he I tl'd not expect to be defeated and re- ' marked that he was tuking up one thing at n time. The Commissioner came from Phil cl< Iplila to-day by automobile, going j over some of the toll roads in I .an can- I ter county which the state will take I over shortly. He said that lie found | the roads between Philadelphia and Harrisburg in better shape than I looked for at this season of the year. I A delegation from Erie ynd people I from Chester county visivra him to day regarding road lm;irove.iu nts. I In commenting upon Senator j Sproul's statement Mr. O'Mell said at j Philadelphia last night Senator Sproul, ihe Penrose can didate for Governor, has again, either purposely or foolishly, made a j misleading statement in an effort to | win dry votes. It lacks the true ring! of sincerity. In his platform an nouncement last night at Swarth more he has evaded and equivocat- j ed. It is the most apparent camou- j (lage, and if this is not a vitally ser- j ions matter, his stand would be look-j ed on as farce comedy. He lias left i the proverbial loophole for the] liquor interests, who are supporting: anil backing him. It is big enough, | figuratively, to drive a horse and wagon through. Senator Sproul says: "The people of the state will settle this question j through their legislature and they j must be unhampered in their deci sion by any political Interference." j This is an adroit combination of! words, but it is dangerous and dead- j ly to Ihe dry cause. It means no per- J son shall take a hand in the selec tion of. canvass for. and nomination j of, legislative candidates, it means that the liquor machine, backed by j the Penrose lieutenants, and the German-"American" Alliance, ex perienced and now desperate, shall have free and uninterrupted sway. It speaks for gang methods at the polls. It denies the dry organizations —the Pennsylvania Anti-Saloon League and the Dry Fedration of Pennsylvania—the right to tight for ratilication candidates. It is side stepping the greatest question ever submitted to this nation- —is equivo cation in its most highly-developed state.
