CLEARINGHOUSE
IS PROPOSED TO
CATCH THIEVES
Police Chiefs Have New Plan
For Recovery of Stolen
Automobiles
A .clearinghouse for the recovery
of stolen property was organized nt
a meeting of the committee of seven
chiefs of police of Pennsylvania cities
held in' the Senate hotel yesterday
afternoon. Harrisburg will be head
quarters of the clearinghouse.
The committee was appointed at
the annual convention of the Chief of
Police Association at Altoona last
July.
The clearinghouse will be support
ed from funds of the various police
funds, and by nominal fees to be
paid by motorists. As the purpose of
the clearinghouse primarily is to
protect motorists from automobile
thefts, it is thought that they read
ily will pay a fee to become members
of the clearinghouse. Records of
their cars will be kept at the clear
inghouse. and they will be assigned
cards showing their membership.
These cards will be honored by all
police chiefs.
It was pointed out that with the
clearinghouse, when a theft in any
city is reported, rather than himself
involving the expense, trouble and
uncertainty of wiring to neighbor
ing cities, the local police can wire
to the clearinghouse, and from that I
as a central point all police chiefs
in the state can be notified of the
theft within a short time.
The Pennsylvania clearinghouse
will begin operations January 1,
1919. it was decided by the commit
tee to a reward for information
leading to the recovery of stolen au
tomobiles and the arrest of offenders.
All offenders arrested through agency
of the clearinghouse will be prosecu
ted rigidly by the association.
Leon B. Day, superintendent of
police at Scranton, was elected pres
ident of the association, and William
B. Thomas, chief of police, of Jenkin
town, secretary and treasurer.

GOVERNMENT IS
TO NAME WAGES
FOR U. S. LABOR
Plan Likely Is to Go Into Ef
fect Early in No
vember
XVuNlilngton, Sept. 25.—Standardiza
tion of wages in all war industries is
to be effected by the general govern
i ment in the near future.
Fixing a wage scale for a great
number of classes of labor is now in
progress by a board of experts em
ployed by the labor policies board.
The task is an enormous one, and
the difficulties encountered have been
likewise enormous.
It is believed, however, that the
work can be accomplished and the
wage scales put into effect by the
first of November.
What is proposed is simply this:
In every factory > engaged in war
work, the wages of'every man, from
the highest paid skilled laborer to
the lowest paid common laborer, are
to be fixed by the government.
Tlie plan upon which the war labor
policies board is now working fol
lows closely that by which wage
scales were established in the ship
yards.
Do Not Expect Friction
Employers and labor representa- I
tives have been consulted, and while
in many instances their views were
widely divergent, the board and its
experts have nevertheless been able
to reach conclusions regarding what
wages ought to be.
The country is to be divided Into
| industrial zones. Differences in cost
of living in the different zones will
be taken into consideration, and will
[ be the basis for the only differences
in the wages to be paid in the same
classes of labor
The metal industries, with their
extensive ramifications, are to be
among the first to which the fixed
wage scales will be applied.
According to present plans, the
government will determine just what
each metal worker in every plant in
the country will receive for a day of
eight hours' work, and the compensa
tion that must be paid him for all
overtime.
He will get these government-fix
ed wages, and no more and no less./
The action will be drastic and in a
sense revolutionary.
