MONTHS REQUIRED TO PUT RAILROAD ON PEACE BASIS •Director General Hines De clares Address of Howard > Elliott Unfair By Associated Press Washington, March 11.— Return of the railroads to a peace basis as to their labor forces and other con ditions affecting cost of operation will require several months. Direc tor General Hines says in a state ment in reply to an address made by Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, last Saturday in Chicago. E> Mr. Hinos.characterized as "un fair" Mr. Elliott's comparison of the number of employes of the Penn sylvania Railroad Company In De cember. 1917, with the 16 per cent, increased force on the payrolls of that company in December. 191 S. to demonstrate that Federal con trol of the railroads was not produc tive of the best results. The director general said favorable weather dur ing December of last year, and the free movement of traffic, in contrast with the bad weather and congested traffic conditions in December, 1917, justified this increase in workers because of the greater opportunity for car repair, maintenance of way and other work. The Pennsylvania railroad. Mr. Hines also said, could not be considered typical, as the average increase in number of em of all roads from December. 1917. to January of this year was only 5.2 per cent.

The Y. M. C. A.'sl task is not so much to assist the returning service man; it is to assist the people at home to measure up to the sp'er.did standard of the army. When the boys come home they are used to clean living, to good motion pictures, to the best entertainments and the highest kind of morale. Now it is up to the people back home to make things lit in with the life of the boys." In these words J. A. XTrice, secre tary for training in the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. outlined the purpose of the Y. M. C. A. institute being held here. The institute was opened last night with a dinner in the Board of Trade building. Mr. Crice spoke at this dinner. The institute will continue] its sessions until Friday. Most of the men present at thej institutes have seen army service of | some kind or other, perhaps as "Y" j secretaries or as privates or offices. | These men brought to the gathering] the spirit of vigor and pep which I marked the boys in khaki, when they gathered for mass singing at the din ner. "Keep the Home Fires Burn ing," and other "victory" songs were given with a punch under the leader ship of Chrystal Brown, who is music | director of the department of the I east, war work council. Mr. Brown] will be remembered as leader of the ! community singing held here last j year at the time of the Pennsylvania ! State Society meeting addressed byl Ex-President W. H. Taft and Con gressman Simon D. Fess. Tp-day's sessions of the institute were conferences on various prob-i lems confronting the community! workers. Training will be given in ! leading community singing and In I welfare work that is designed to im- j prove the physical tone of the com munity. Motion pictures like those' shown in the camps, are presented and in the evening an interpretation hour will be held when the day's work will be presented. This morning's session was on the | subject of recreation. Gymnasium I work was given the men in the cen-1 tral "Y" gymnasium at noon, A. E. | Metzdorf. recreation director of the' department of the east, being in I charge. Characteristic of the army | life were the vimful games wherein] the grayhnired "Y" secretary pound ed his youthful colleagues with cot ton filled bags and sat side by side! with the younger men in athletic games that would tax the skill of a college man. Following the noon lunch hour period, institute was again opened in Fahnestock hall with mass sing ing. Formation of a community pro gram is now before the men. Guests Are Turned Away From Penn-Harris, Already Too Small For Patronage George D. Worthington, new as sistant manager of the Penn-Harris hotel, is wearing what he calls a | cross between a lugubrious and a sunny countenance this morning. He doesn t know whether to laugh or to' mourn. The reason for his perplexed expression is the fact that approxi mately 125 guests were turned away from the hotel last night. ' I m in a duce of a quandary," \1 orthington admitted this morning. 'I don't know whether I'm sorry or happy. I should be happy because the hotel is so popular and I should be sorry because we don't have enough room for our guests." Every effort is being made however, to ac commodate the guests who desire reservations. Some idea of the enormous quan tity of patronage that has come to the hotel, is given in the schedule for the week which includes: To-day—Republican Alliance, of i Philadelphia, dinner, 370 people. I Brick manufacturers meeting; Cow anesque Valley Boosters; House of Representatives dinner. Thursday—Dinner, transportation department of Middletown aviation depot. Friday—Dining Room Furniture Manufacturers' meeting. Saturday—Contract Manufactur ers' Association meeting.
