In the brief announcement issued j 'from the office of chairman Hurley! no reference was made to the actual j number of contracts involved or to i the yards affected by the cancellation l order. It was explained, however, j that action at this time would not . come as a surprise to builders, as notice was*served on them months! ago of the board's new policy, the chief feature of which was the eli mination of building plans for all ships under 12,000 tons. At the end of March about 300 ships for the board had been launch- j ed, but not delivered. These ships i represented a tonnage of about 1.) 800,000. On the same date keels I luid been laid for some, 500 ships aggregating 3,000,000 tons. Shipping Board officials said they were un able to give the actual number of contracts outstanding or later fig ures than of March 31. load where other trucks can not go empty. The self-locking differential pulls the Duplex out so long as only one wheel has solid tra'ction. The double reduction drive gives it tremendous power in an emergency. These facts all contribute to lowering the ton-mile cost and assuring the operator of free dom from interruptions in his hauling. Records of lower Duplex costs are ayailable to business men, and we are always ready to demonstrate the Duplex.

Sproul, who returned to Chester yesterday, last night told Philadelphia newspaper | men that he favored legislation for j improvement of conditions in Phila i delphia, but added "I don't want the j Philadelphia controversy to mix up | the State program. Too often in the 1 past a Philadelphia controversy lias mussed up a program, for the bet terment of conditions in the State. There are other parts of Pennsyl vania to be looked after besides Phil adelphia." This announcement, which will be hailed with pleasure by thousands of people and dozens of legislators who do not care who runs Philadel phia politics, will increase the pres tige of the Governor in the State immensely and materially add to the block of members of the General j Assembly who look to the Governor | for guidance. It is the first nn ! nouncement in all the years that the , Philadelphia row lias been dragged \ ! about Capitol Hill that a Governor 1 i lias come right out and insisted that ■ i there was something to a session be j sides Philadelphia bills. | In addition to this interesting an- 1 ! nouncement the Governor went on I record for most of the bills favored i by Senator Boies Penrose, although \ I he let it be known that lie will not | stand for any ripper legislation and j ; that lie did not think "the question j |of eliminating one particular fact ition should enter into a discussion of legislation." When asked where he stood on Philadelphia legislation the Gover nor said: "I stand on four points. The President has 14 points for the settlement of the troubles of the world, and I have four for Philadel phia. I stand for a smaller coun cil, a decent fiscal system, removal of the police of Philadelphia from politics and a greater degree of home rule for Philadelphia—the last an improvement which will require constitutional changes." "What do you think of the bills to enlarge the office of the Philadelphia District Attorney?" the Governor was asked.. "I think the.v are good hills and that they should he passed," he re plied. , Every person connected with any branch of the State government is to lie listed for quick reference at the Governor's office under a plan which came out at the Capitol to-day in the form of a request that the per sonnel of each and every depart ment, bureau, office and other part of the Pennsylvania Stale govern ment be sent in together with the home address. position in State service, salary, duties and other facts together with name of political backer. This is the first time that such information has been asked and it will result in the first authen tic list in yeahs being made up. The Auditor General made an effort along this line two years ago, but was not very successful owing to the attitude of the ruling powers. Now the list is to be completed and when the time comes to make changes there will be no danger of mistakes and there will also he a means at hand to find out in short order what people are on the jfayroll and whether they are working. From what is in the wind here <o-day it is probable that an at tempt may be made when the Leg islature reconvenes on Monday night to reconsider the defeat of the Wilson bill repealing the nonparti san elective feature of the third class city law. This bill went down last Monday night after a battle, I receiving eighty some votes to ninety-four against it. I There is every indication that there will be a lively time next Monday afternoon when the com mittee representing employers and employes meets to discuss suggested amendments to the compensation act. The employers have intimated that they will not agree to any ad vance in rates on the ground that industry is so disturbed that busi ness cannot stand any more. The employes insist that they were promised an advance.
