4NTI-LOAFING
BILL REGARDED
AS FARCICAL
Justice Simpson, State Su
preme Court, Disapproves
the Proposed Law
R.v Associated rrcss
Bedford Springs. Pa., June 27. —
Lawyers laid the foundation of our
constitutional republic and they
muse ft-eSCTVe it as the last and
greatest outcome of Christian phil
osophy applied to the government,
declared Walter G. Smith, of Phil
adelphia, In an address on "Thc.Am
tricaii Bar Association," delivered
last night before the Pennsylvania
Bar Association. Mr. Smith spoke
of.the work of the national body in
bringing about uniformity in the
laws of the several states and in |
promoting a high standard of legal j
education. t
The convention will close to-night ,
with a banquet, during which Judge
William 11. Staake. of Philadelphia,]
the retiring president, will be toast- j
master. Delegates last nights ex-,
pressed the opinion that W. I. Shaf- j
t'er, of Chester. Delaware county,
will be elevated to the presidency, j
Most of the session yesterday was,
devoted to discussion of the proposed
antiloating bill. W. I. Shaffer, of
Delaware county, and Judge Simp
son, newly-appointed member of the
Supreme Court, opposed the meas
ure. Munson Wilson, of Williams- j
port, supported the bill, declaring |
shortage of manpower made it essen- i
tial.
The proposed law is regarded as
a farce by Justice Simpson, newly
appointed member of the Supreme
Court, who said that although the
bill was intended to be a war meas
ure, it would be entirely Imprac
ticable after the war. He asserted
that many soldiers returning to their
homes would discover their former
positions filled and being without em
ployment, would be subpect to the
penalty prescribed.
"Lawyers were considered unnec
esary at one time," Justice Simpson
explained, "and the same conditions
may arise again."
He told the delegates that even
the Supreme Court might be consid
ered unnecessary and the judges of
that court would naturally fail
under the provisions of the law.

Baltimore and Ohio Issues
Notes to Meet Big Debts
Baltimore. Md., June 27. The
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
sold to Kuhn. Loeb & Co., and Spe
yer & Co. an issue of $10,500,000 6
per cent, notes running for three
months.
It is understood that the proceeds
from the transaction are to be uti
lized in meeting $7,500,000 of one
year notes which mature July 1 and
other corporate needs. These ma
turing obligations are a part of a
total of $15,000,000 issued last year,
the notes maturing now having been
for only one year and the remain
der running two years.
Coincident with this new financ
ing comes the news that the Ohio
Public Utilities Commission has ap
proved the application of the Balti
more and Ohio to issue $20,000,000
of its refunding general mortgage
bonds.
Railroad Notes
Local railroad shopmen in Pennsy
and Reading shops are working
overtime on repairs, including Sun
days.
Many cars needing repairs have
been sidetracked at Marietta and
will be distributed to various points
when conditions permit.
Paul E. Haug, of Reading, killed
recently in France, worked in this
city two years ago as a telegrapher
at the Reading station.
Pcnnsy passenger trainmen are|
again wearing summer uniforms.!
During the recent cool spell they
went back to heavier garments.
The Friendship and Co-operative
Club dance at Summerdale last night
netted the Pennsylvania Railroad
Tobacco Fund $75. Notwithstand
ing the inclement weather upwards
of 250 attended.
The first of the new Mallet engines
now being built by Baldwins will be
delivered to the Reading Railway'
Company some time this week.
R. J. Stackhouse, superintendent
of materials and supplies; F. S.
Stevens, engineer of maintenance of
way and I. A. Seiders, superintendent
of motive power and rolling equip
ment are making a tour of the Sha
mokin division checking up supplies.
The new Pacific type passenger
locomotives now being turned out
of the Reading shops are being pre
pared for the Atlantic City road. It
is said that these locomotives are a
little too long for the main line on
account of the numerous curves.

No Pennsy Dividend
Until July Meeting
For the first time in many years
directors of the Pennsylvania Rail
road will continue to hold meetings
throughout the summer, instead of
adjourning between June and Sep
tember. The reason for this is that
the company has so many matters
unsettled, not the least of which is
the pending government (contract
covering operation of the road, as to
make it advisable to meet regularly.
A formal notice that adjournment
would not be taken was given out
at the close of the directors' meet
ing yesterday.
As customary, it was expected the
directors would declare the next
quarterly dividend, due August 31.
This action, it was stated, would oe
deferred until the July meeting. The
directors feel there is no question
endangering declaration of the Au
gust dividend, this matter the gov
ernment having tacitly agreed to.
The fact that the board would re
main in session, however, led to
withholding the notice at this time.
KOIIBIORIIC9 AT CARLISLE
Carllalle, Pa., June 27. Police of
ficers are trying to fix the responsi
bility for a series of small robberies
here, the latest of which was an at
tempt to enter the Imperial Depart
ment Store, a branch of Bowman and
Co., of Harrisburg. The marauders
were frightened away by the night
watchman. However, a number of
mino robberies have occurred re
cently.

"Save Old Shoe.,"
Trade Man Advises
U. S. Has Supply
Pittsburgh, June 27.—"Repair
your old shoes. What you have in
your closets contain better leather
than the manufacturer can supply
you in the new shoes you intend to
buy," W. S. Anderson, of New York,
told delegates to the annual conven
tion of the National Leather and
Shoe Finders' Association, In session
here. "That is the only way to con
| serve leather for Uncle Sam."
He said the United States Is the
only country in the world which haw
a supply of leather. "This demand
from all points of the globe on the
American supply imposes the neces
sity of repairing old shoes." he said.
