THE GLOBE
TUESDAY EVENING,
I preciative of the serious conditions
! that confront their beloved country
j and are bending every effort to help
the cause. However, the inspectors
will urge upon the workers the nec
essity for continuous, diligent work,
making clear to them that the part
they are playing is just as important
as the part of any othor man, wheth
er in an industrial occupation or In
the fighting foiyes at th<j front.
They should be made to realize that
it is just as patriotic to dig coal as
it is to dig a trench."
To Check Pollution. Steps to
call upon explosive factories to pro
vent discharge of wastes into
streams of the state because of the
fact that the pollution carries great
distances and kills many fish will
likely be taken at once. The plants
are engaged on government work,
but in the Susquehanna and other
streams fish wardens have found
abundant evidence of the killing of
bass and salmon by wastes. This
data will be laid before Commis
sioner of fisheries N. R. Buller for
action to-morrow.
Trout Sot Out.—The first trout to
bo "planted" in the streams of the
state the latter half of the year have
just been sent from state hatcheries
to a number of streams in the north
ern part of the state. The trout are
well grown and able to take care of
themselves. The state hatcheries
have also sent out numerous blue
gills. It is planned to keep the dis
tribution of trout going until the
weather becomes too cold.
To Hear Argument.—The Public
Service Commission will shortly hear
argument on the demurrer filed
against its orders for street railway
systems to furnish certificates of ex
cess fares to passengers paying the
increases which are now involved in
litigation before the commission.
Notice 011 Closing. The State
Game Commission will shortly issue
a general notice of the closing of
the state to the hunting of ruffed
grouse for a year. All of the coun

tions for the closing as a means of
conservation of the game bird have
entered their papers. Steps to pro
pagate the grouse are being taken In
a score of counties.
