NATION'S LABOR
UNDER OFFICIAL
RULE AUGUST 1
War Industries Are Warned
to Employ Through No
Other Agency
Philadelphia, July 15.—Govern- ) j
nieni control of common labor j e
tluoughout the country will become j t
effective August 1. After that date I t
the United States employment serv- J e
ice will be the exclusive agency i 1
through which common labor may J]
be employed by war Industries hav- i
ing on their payrolls 100 or more *
persons. This is Inclusive of all em- p
ployes, regardless of their status.
While common labor only Is spec- i ,<
:lied in the preliminary statement is- j t
sued by Edgar C. Felton. federal di- I I
rector for Pennsylvania, similar res- t
illations governing employment of '
all skilled labor probably will be is-
sued later. The new regulations r
mean elimination of every other . H
ineihod of employing common labor, j u
Private agencies virtually will be • 1
wiped out.
Pennsylvania's lafor distribution i {
will be handled from the employment c
service headquarters, on the second t
floor of the Finance building. Mr. v
Felton, who formerly was president
of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, j
•will have associated with him as ad
ministrators, John C. Frazee and j
Henry V. Gummere. c
Agencies Already Opened
Preliminary to actual operation of £
the government service there have !
already been established in this city j ]
seven employment agencies. Six | \
more will be operated in the near j j
tuture. In the state there will be i t
about fifty employment bureaus, j
twenty-two of which are now operat
ing. Those to be opened later will
"be scattered through the principal c
industries sections according to the *
apparent needs of eaen locality. '
Mr. Felton's preliminary state- t
ment of the purpose of the United >
States employment service in regard j }
to the employment of common la- ! r
bor follows:
"owing to the great loss of man ! '
power resulting from constant mi- j *
grution of labor from one commun- . (
ity to another, and from one plant I
to another in the same community,
the United States government j
through the United States employ- I j
ment service, in conformity with j j
the proclamation of the President, j .
issued June 17, 1918, will become;'
effective after August 1 next, the ex- [
elusive agency through which com- j
mon labor may be employed by war j
industries having on their payrolls J
a total of 100 or more persons. This
total is inclusive of all employes, re- I ,
gardless of their status. 1 J
Scouts One of a Job
"On and after that date all war j •
industries employing a total of 100 j ]
or more persons in need of common <
lalor will be required to make ap- j i
plication therefore to the United i ]
States Employment Service. War in- j !
dustries coming under this ruling j !
must not employ labor scouts to so- | 1
licit common labor: they must not | i
advertise for common labor; they [ 1
must not contract with private em- | !
ployment agencies for common la- j:
bor nor engage in any manner ex- j
cept by application to the United
States Employment Service to ob- i
tain such labor.
"They, however, will be permitted |
temporarily. without reference to !
the United States Employment Serv- ,
ice, to employ persons applying at ,
the gates of the plant, but will he ,
forbidden to solicit prospective em
ployes to make such application.
"The government will see that all
industries essential to prosecution of
the war are adequately supplied i
with common labor, and such steps )
as may be necessary to accomplish j
this will be taken.
"Employes are asked to co-oper- j
ate to the fullest extent with the
United States Employment Service in .
carrying out these arrangements."
Otiier 'Agencies Co-operate '
Acting in conjunction with Mr. |
Felton's oltice are the United States
Department of Labor, the Pennsyl- J
*ania Department of Labor and In
•luytry and the Pennsylvania Com
mittee of Public Safety. Jacob
Lightner is superintendent of the
state employment offices at Harris
burg.
Preliminary plans contemplate
systematic distribution of labor.
Each tirm will he required to place
its requisition for common labor
with the nearest local office of the
United States Employment Service.
That office will try to supply the
plant's needs from the immediate
vicinity, if there is a shortage of la
bor in any district that fact will be
reported to the state clearing house
and immediate steps will be taken to
supply the labor from tome other i
district having a surplus. Daily re
pot ts will be exchanged between the
various offices. The service will be
free to all employers.
Later, it was announced, an at
tempt may be made to create senti
ment that will draw unskilled or
common labor from nonessential in
dustries to essential war industries.
At present there is no intimation
that such labor will be conscripted.

Clara G. Kverts, the tenant, to-day,
through her attorney, asked the

I against C. Duncan Cameron to re-
I strain anv further efforts to get pos
i session o't the premises.
The court tooK the papers but made
■no decision. Counsel for Cameron
declared that to grant the injunction
I would be Just the opposite of what
! the law provided in such cases and
argued that the court has no juris

HAJRRISBTJRG TELEGRAPH
RAILROAD RUMBLES
NEW RECORD FOR
FREIGHT TRAFFIC
Pcnnsy's June Business Was
Heaviest in Many Months;
Two Important Points
In the establishment of a new
reight hauling record on the Pennsy
Riring June, both the middle and
Philadelphia divisions were big fac
tors. Records were taken at Rewis
town Junction and at Columbia,
rhis made it possible to secure an i
accurate estimate of ull freight j
Handled east and west.
All monthly records for movement'!
>f freight cars past Columbia, Pa., i
jn the Pennsylvania Railroad were
tiroken. The total number of cars
massing In. the month was 250,322 —!
?nough to make a qontinunus train
nore than 2000 miles long. Sev
enty miles of freight passed daily,
he daily average movement being
234 1 cars, or the equavalent of one
•ar every ten seconds. Both the
month's total and the daily average
Teated new high marks for move
ment of freight traffic, not only past
""olumbia, but at all the other obser
vation points.
Heaviest Day
The heaviest movement for uny
single day was on June 10, when
)531 cars passed. This exceeds all
previously reported one-day niove
rients anywhere on the Pennsyl
vania Railroad. The second high
?st recorded movement was made on
May 12, also at Columbia, with 9173
?ars passing. The third best record
ivas made at Lewistown Junction on
December 7, 1907, the movement on
that day being 9027 cars. This re
mained unsurpassed for more than
ten years.
The freight moving through
'olumhia in June exceeded 6,000,000
tons, or more than 1200 ordinary
steamship cargoes of 5000 tons each.
Roughly, forty vessel loads of freight
l day were hauled past this point
luring the month.
Of the 250,322 cars moving past
'olumbla in June, 138.532 were
loaded and 111,790 were empty. The
tlifference between the loaded and
empty movements, easthound and
westbound, was very striking. Out
jf 110,931 cars moved eastbound.
106.342 were loaded and only 4589
we're empty, while in the westbound
movement of 139,391 cars there were
snly 32,190 loads and 107,201 cars
were empty.
Bankruptcy Proceedings
May Be Started to Clear
Up the Bretz Finances
Bankruptcy proceedings may be in
stituted within a uay or two against
Harry II Bret*, the attorney held for
court on an embezzlement charge,
lawyers for claimants against him
announced to-day. They said that ad
riitional criminal charges could be
brought at any time but at present
were interested more in having all
property of the attorney in the h&nds

It was explained that upon petition
by three creditors such action could
iie brought about. It was said that
attorneys for creditors may refuse
Firetz's offer to put his property In
the hands of a trustee.

tj During the past week, it has been
"I rumored thrt the resumption of the
■j German offensive would witness a
u long range bombardment of places
! ! which would heretofore be consid
' ered at a safe distance from the
! front. These rumors proved to be
1 true.
Germans Close Quiet Section
The lay world had expected the
| German main effort to be loosed
| against the l>ne from the Marne to
' the Alsne, north of Chateau Thierry;
1 in the Pieardy sector, towards Abbe
• vllle or further north, in the Lys sec-
I j tor against the channel ports. Along
: | this line the allies have been daily
I I improving theh lines and preparing
for the new drive.
But the Germans chose a sector
I which, except for a surprise attack
t around Rheims, late in June, has
r| been quiet since the offensive lannch
• I ed on the Aisne on May 27 came to
■I a standstill. East of Rheims and
t i North of Chalons there has been but
1 little fighting of significance for a
- long time.
This line, of which Rheims may be
i considered the keystone, was chosen
I for the reason that information
; might have been received by the
! Germans that it was less strongly
' J held than sectors along the front
nearer Paris. Thus it might be rea
sonable to expect that a greater ter
j ritory could be overrun there at a
| smaller expense of men and ma-
I terials than on the lines where the
allies are to be very strong.
Strike For Railroad
The Germans hold the north bank
of the Marne for a distance of i'.bout
twenty miles east of Chateau Thi
erry. Tlv>ir line leaves the Marne
near the village of Dormana and runs
off to the northeast of Rhcims, whero
it turns abruptly to the southo ist
and runs down the valley of the
Vesle river to the village of IJ:I
Ponipelle, where it turns eastward
and runs in a relatively straight line
to Verdun. Malson de Champaigne,
the eastern limit of the present bat
tle. is thlrt,y-one miles west of Ver
dun.
Located back of the allied line
fcast of RheiniH is the railroad which
supplies the French forces at Verdun
and the Americans at St. Mihiel with
food and supplies. In this sector,
too. are the important cities of Cha
lons. Epernuy and Bar-le-Duc, all
Ihrec of which are important supply
centers for the allied forces. The
| railroad was interrupted to some ex
tent by the German advance to the
Marne between Rheims and Chat
eau Thierry, but It is still a very im
portant artery for the allied fqrees.
The only other fighting of moment
I from the front has occurred on ihe
i Vlllers-Bretonneux sector, in front
| of Amiens, where the British have
Improved their positions.

been beneficial to all West Shore
towns, In the opinion of officials of
the various boroughß.

Lenioyne to Camp Hill, which was re
built two years ago, .is undergoing
repairs and is being oiled. The state
road leading up 'along the river
