PATRIOTIC RALLY
BY RAILROADERS
Prohibition (lets Support;
Men to Buy New Lib
erty Bouds
At the patriotic meeting.in White's
Hall yesterday aftornoon, at which
numerous railroad officials and rail
road employes were present, the as
pects of the great war and the need
of prohibition to prosecute the war,
were features of the addresses. A
resolution endorsing the heads of the
railroad brotherhoods for the way
that they have taken for the settle
ment of strikes was passed by the
meeting.
F. W. Smith. Jr., superintendent
of the Philadelphia division, made a
strong plea that the men subscribe
generously to the Third Liberty Bond
issue. Mr. Smith told every man
present to feel that the war is a big:
vital issue to him. and that he must j
do all in his power to help bring it
to a successful conclusion.
A. S. Patterson also spoke of the
necessity for purchasing Liberty
j Bonds. A. Ramsey S. Bla'ck and W.
K. Post spoke at some length on the
same subjects. I-. L. Banks. J. B.
Phelan and A. S. Dellinger also
spoke. X. A. free recited several
popular selections.
| The Rev. J. Bradley Markwunl
| made a powerful appeal to the men '
i to support prohibition amendment.!
j He scoffed at the assertion so often
i made that men do not wish to belong
1 to the church because of the hypo
crites there, fie said there are hypo
crites everywhere, but asserted it
was a poor excuse to keep a man out
of church.
The other resolution adopted fol
j lows:
"Whereas, There is now in the city
| of Harrisburg, organizers represent
j ing the several legitimate railroad
I brotherhoods affiliated with the
| American Federation o Labor, and
"Whereas, There is also in the city
of Harrisburg, one John J. Reynolds,
of Jersey City, X. J., organizer for
the American Federation of Railroad
Workers, which organization is not
affiliated with the American Federa
tion of Labor, and
"Whereas, The American Federa
tion of Railroad Workers through
their official circular issued by their
grand lodge says, "The American
i Federation of Railroad Workers is
i an organization of. for and by rail
j road workers. 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.
Samuel Gompers. assisted the chief
! executives of the Transportation
Brotherhoods in securing the Adam
son eight-hour law, therefore be it
"Resolved, That Keystone Lodge,
Xo. 42. IS. of R. T., endorse the ac
' tion of President in his official
circular of February 19, 191 S, where
in he furnishes the names of the or
ganizers of the International Broth
erhoods, affiliated with the American
] Federation of Labor, and advises
I the support and co-operation of our
i members to assist the organizers in
I organizing the unorganized in their
! respective brotherhoods, and be it
j further
"Resolved. That the members of
the Keystone Lodge. Xo. 42, B. of R.
T., endorse' the action of President
I Lee. President Stone, President Car
j ter and President Garretson. and
President Oompers, of the A. F. of
! L„ wherein they have pledged the
co-operation and loyalty of the mern
j bership to President Woodrow Wil-
I son and Director General of Rail
! loads William C. McAdoo, during the
! present crisis, thereby demonstrating
j our American patriotism for Demo
j cracy."

MUTUALSGOOVER
TOP IN BIG DRIVE
Pennsylvania Railroad Bene
ficial Association Grows
at Rapid Rate
Local Assembly. No. 4. Mutual Hen. J
efictal Association of Pennsylvania j
Railroad Employes. Inc.. ended Its
tlrst week of campaign for new mem- I
hers on top. Satufday night after
the applications had been counted, j
the word was passed out tiiat Harris- |
burg bad gone over.
The reason for this rush of rail
road workers to join this association .
Is found in the following letter to
.1. Baker Hess from the General I
President. George W. Brown:
"Dear Sir and Brother:—We know j
that your members will be glad to
learn that at the last meeting of the
board of directors steps were taken
to have the interests of our member
ship represented before the Wage |
Commission, recently appointed by !
the Honorable William O. McAdoo." j
A clipping from the Washington |
Post also gives the following: !
•'George \\\ Brown, general president, I
and Arthur 11. Roberts, general vice- j
president of the Mutual Benefit As
sociation of Pennsylvania Railroad j
Employes, are in the city looking !
after the interests of MO.OOO members
of that organization. They have had
a conference with Director of Rail- '
■oads McAdoo with reference to
wages, and are otherwise busying
themselves In the wage controversy. I
The headquarters of these officials is !
in Philadelphia. They will remain i
in Washington until Saturday."
This association is but a little over)
three years old but has accomplished j
more than any organization on the
Pennsylvania Railroad In the way .
of bettering working conditions and
wage adjustments, nil on the basis of
•o-operation between employer and
employe. j
A man of thirty-five years gets in- •
suranee on a SI,OOO for, $1.50 per
month, this covering total disability '
as well as death, if a member leaves)
the service he is permitted to con- <
tinue his insurance.
Big Box Is Coming For
Railroad Package Party
Word was received in Harrisburg
to-day that Altoona was sending a
big box to this city Thursday for
the "Package Party." The latter will
be held at Eagle's Hall. What the box
will contain is a mystery. There will
be other curious bundles to solve,
and fun is in store for co-operative
members and friends.

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.

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. I say: "Beware of Greeks bear-I
intf gifts" and look into the gift
bearer's previous record.
