14 PUBLISHERS OF PA. NEWSPAPERS URGE ECONOMY Radical Steps Recommended to Meet Problems In dustry Faces Grave problems confronting the newspaper business of the state and nation, forced upon the publishers by the war. including sharp increas es of material and labor costs and white paper shortage, were discuss ed yesterday at a meeting of the newspaper publishers of the state outside of Philadelphia and Pitts burgh. held in the Harrisburg Y M. C. A. assembly room. Even the two-cent newspapers of the country are operating at a very close margin of profit while one-cent newspapers generally are losing money in large sums. The publishers assembled here yesterday endorsed the recommen dations of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association at its recent meeting in New York, for the elimi nation of all forms of waste, by dis continuing free copies, abolishing the return privilege, rebating to agents, limiting copies to advertisers, prohibiting baseball extras, increas ing price per copy from one to two cents where this has not been done, cutting out free publicity and dis couraging the press agent in order to conserve space, reduction in size ot headlines, etc. Economies Xfcwsary These economies are absolutely necessary the publishers decided if radical regulation of the newspaper business by the government is to be avoided. Either waste must be elim inated voluntarily and the publishing business conducted along strictly economical lines or government regulation may be expected, it was the general belief. E. J. Stackpole. of the Harrisburg Telegraph, was selected as chairman, and W. L. Taylor, of the York Dis-. patch, was made secretary. A resolution was unanimously adopted calling upon Congress either to modify the new second class pos tal rates with respect to newspapers or to suspend the regulations until a complete and intelligent investiga- Uon can be made of the subject of newspaper postage. This new law would work great hardships to /lews papers if enforced. It was agreed to co-operate with 1 the association news print committee j by urging all Pennsylvania publish-] ers to aid in properly presenting to the Federal Trade Commission thel situation which now confronts the j industry. A message was received from | George Creel, chairman of the Com- ! mittee on Public Information. ■ re- J gretting his inability to attend the| meeting but offering to co-operate j in any way possible and requesting j that when representatives of the j publishers go to Washington they: meet with him. Resolutions were adopted urging | the adoption generally of the two fen! price, and protesting to the Federal Trade Commission against further advance in the price of white paper. Among those present at the con ference which was one of the most important which has been held re cently by the newspaper publishers of Pennsylvania, were W. L. Tay "<or. of the York Dispatch; D. R.

PENROSE MAKES PREDICTIONS Savs Scott Will Be Defeated in Philadelphia at the May Primary Fight United States Senator Penrose de clared yesterday that Senator Sproul for governor and Senator Edward E. Beidleman for lieutenant governor would carry Philadelphia at the pri maries over Highway Commissioner O'N'eil and Congressman John R. K. Scott. The Senator said that le ports show O'Neil will probably lose his own city—McKeesport. In his statement. Senator Penrose declared that the voters of the state are aroused over the Issues of the campaign and that the vote to be cast for Beidleman will be a huge surprise. The Senator said: "Great activity has started everywhere. In Alle gheny county the change is particu larly noticeable. The declaration of Magee in favor of O'Neil has. to a great extent, destroyed 'Magee politi cally and distinctly hurt O'Neil. In the McKeesport Congressional dis trict. x-Congressman Coleman is contesting the Republican nomina tion with Clyde Kelly. When he en tered the contest his chances were distinctly adverse. His victory over Kelly will carry Beidleman and the whole state program of regular Re publicans. The probabilities are 'hat 1 O'Neil will lose his own town of Mc- Keesport at the primary election. ! Sproul, Beidleman. Woodward and the candidates for Congressman-at large will carry Allegheny county by a majority which will steadily .jrow until the end of the primaries. "The reports regarding the Phila delphia situation, with singular unanimity, indicate Beidleman will carry the Republican primaries ; n Philadelphia county on May 21. Of course, everyone concedes Sproul will have a large majority for governor. 1 regardless of what may happen. "The real fight is on the office of Lieutenant governor, and the result is going to surprise a great many people. Throughout the state the regular party organization is intact and aggressive, and with them are united the forceful and intelligent men of each county. "The opposition is chiefly compos ed of the officeholders under the dis credited state administration, com bined with some fanatics and dis gruntled political office-seekers. This opposition will be ineffective and j largely scattered when it comes to real voting. "The sentiment is widespread that! O'Neil does not measure up in any j way to the standard and ideals which the people are accustomed to apply to the office of governor of Pennsyl vania. The Scott candidacy, of course, is held >n abhorrence." Sixteen Caught in Cavein of Subway Excavation . j New York, May 9—Sixteen work | men employed in a subway excava . tion in Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn, were caught by a cave in last night and it is believed four were killed. Compressed air is being supplied to , the others who are entombed 100 feet below the surface. According to public service com mission officials in charge of the . rescue work the imprisoned men , cannot be reached for several aours and doubt was expressed whether a sufficient sir supply could be pro ■ vided in the meantime to keep the . the men alive. Two doctors, the first to reach .he j scene, went into the shaft and talked | to the imprisoned men through the compressed air tube. "Give us air," pleaded the men and a call was sent for pulmotors and respirators A respirator was rigged to the end of the air tube in the ! hope that the men can be kept alive ! until the army of rescuers can reach I them.

ADMINISTRATION IS SWINGING AXE FOR DENNY O'NEIL Man Whose Salary Was Rais ed For "Efficiency" Fired For Politics The state administration ax is commencing to swing more vigor ously as the date for the primary comes closer and there are signs on Capitol Hill thut more employes who do not go out and cheer will be decapitated. To-day it was an nounced that Factory Inspector W. G. Fisher, of Sunbury, who got an Increase of salary of S3OO on March 15, had been notified that he was to go. Fisher was told on April 11 that he was to go on May 1, but protested. "They let me go." said Fisher, "because I would not throw down my friends. They gave me O'Neil petitions. I gave one to a friend to have filled and turned it in. 1 did not circulate the others. So they have fired me." E. C. Fisher, of Milton, will suc ceed Fisher. They are not relatives. He is a protege of O'Neil's man agers in Northumberland county. Others Dismissed The Sproul campnign committee to-day issued this statement on the Fisher episode and some others: "While Fisher, of Sunbury, is the only state employe who was given a salary raise and discharged sixty days later he is not the only em ploye who has been discharged he cause of political reason#. The list includes the following: "Norman D. Gray, of West Ches ter. for fifteen years assistant state librarian, who was succeeded by "Spider" Reagan. West Chester. "Thomas J. Dunn, of Pittsburgh, referee for the State Workmen's Compensation Board, who was dis charged to make room in the Pitts burgh office for a Brumbangh- O'Neil man. Dunn, a patient in a New York sanatorium for weeks, has not been told by his family of his discharge. "Harry W. Honan. Chester, Del aware county, inspector for the De partment of Labor and Industry. "B. Frank Roeller. Royersford, Montgomery county, inspector for the Department of Labor and In dustry. "Thomas N. Ryan. New Hope, Bucks county, inspector in the De partment of Labor and Industry. "Thomas D. Beidleman. Harris burg, assistant foreman of grounds, Department of Public Grounds and Buildings. He is the father of Sen attor Edward E. Beidleman. of Har risburg, candidate for the Repub lican nomination for Lieutenant Governor. "Thomas J. Toomey. Dauphin county, for years a charman for the Department of Public Grounds and Buildings and suddenly discovered to be 'incompetent.' "Elmer E. Eshenour, Harrisburg, painter, in employ of Department of Public Grounds and Buildings. "Boyd Manbeck. Juniata county, Capitol guide: relative of former Senator William Manbeck. of Mif flin. "This list does not contain the removals made in the force of coun ty superintendents of highways, - State Highway Department, nor the road foremen. Nor does it include the names of the Democratic road superintedent in Columbia county and the Democratic road foremen in the same county, who are work ing for the Rrutnbaugh-O'Neil or ganization and have not been dis charged. "Had No Friends" "Gray had no friends anyhow." said a state official the day following the recent release of Assistant Li brarian Norman D. Gray. "He was efficient, but the truth of the mat ter was that he had no influence in his home county any longer, hav ing been away practically continu ously for fifteen years, and he couldn't do us any good. Reagan, on the other hand, is popular and will get us votes we need in the West Chester district." "Referee Thomas J. Dunn was re garded as one of the really efficient compensation board referees. His decisions were rarely reversed. His discharge was ordered by Governor Brumbaugh himself, because Dunn was not in sympathy with the ad ministration. Dunn was taken sick some time before he was discharged. He was in a sanatorium when the removal was announced in Harris, burg, and has been there since. He does not know that he is no longer a referee in the Pittsburgh district. Godcliaries Incident "All of the employes named were discharged for political reasons. Of ficials, however, do not look for the removal of Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth Fred D> Godcharles until after the primary election. I Godcharles was harshly berated Tuesday by Senator Edwin S. Vare. of Philadelphia, for his testimony in the Philadelphia Woodward case, wherein it was sought to compel the filing of an auto driver's nomination petition. "James J. Walker, of the Labor and Industry Department, is de clared to be the official 'liner up' in that department. "Walker told me," said dis charged Inspector Fisher to-day. "that the time had come for every employe of that department to de clare himself one way or the other. 'You can't carry water on both shoulders around here," he said to me. 'lf you're going to be for O'Nell you must come out and say so; and if you're not say so.' After he told me that I went to Attorney General Brown, thinking there must be some mistake about my discharge so soon after I had been given an Increase in salary. Brown said he would make an investigation; for me to go no farther. I did not go to see the Governor for that reason. Then Acting Commissioner L<ew R. Palmer notified me shortly before the date set for my dismissal—May I—that I would be given fifteen days more. In the meantime I saw Denny O'Neil, who held out no encourage ment. I have been notified that my time ends May 15. I couldn't be for O'Neil. Job or no Job."
