EVERY EFFORT
BEING MADE TO
FIND BODIES
Juniata Fails to Give Up Its
Victims; Troopers on
Scene
Efforts are being redoubled to lo
cate the bodies of the seven officials
of the Haws Refractories Company,
who drowned In the Juniata river
near Hawstone on Saturday when
their boat overturned. State police
are lending their assistance.
This morning a contingent of the
troopers left this city for the scene
of the accident to aid In the search.
They secured the motor boat of
Charles C. Linton, 1007 North Second
street, and took it by truck to Haw
stone. It will be operated by Mr.
Linton's son. Thomas Linton, while
the police search for the body.
It is understood that plans are be
ing made to put a diver to work to
aid in locating the bodies. The Haws
Company is understood to be nego
tiating with a Harrisburg diver. Just
now the river i s quite muddy and
'will prevent the diver from render
ing much assistance. The waters are
clearing up and are expected to be in
condition for him U> work in a few
days.
The riggers from the Standard Steel
Works, Burnham, will build barbed
wire dredges with which to scrape
the river. The Red Cross has locat
ed a kitchen on the north bank of
the river and will feed those engaged
in the search. Barbed wire guards
have been placed between the piers
of the Mifflintown bridge to catch
the bodies in the event of their float
ing that far down the stream.
Five hundred persons have been
engaged almost constantly in the
search since the accident. It is the
Intention of the authorities to use
dynamite in all .deep holes within a
njile of where the accident occurred. ,
In the hope that the concussion will
release and raise the bodies to the '
surface.
The accident resulted in a panic
among those on the boat, Mr. Haws,
of the Hawstone plant said yester
day, when it shipped a little water.

RUSSIAN TRADE
IS BUNG SOUGHT
[Continued from First Page.]
Commerce as "insiduous." He
claimed he had substantial informa
tion to the effect that Chambers of
Commerce in Pennsylvania and Ohio
had conspired to close down as many
industries as possible at the con
clusion of the war in order to bring
about lower wages. This, he alleged,
was part of the program oi the
United States Chamber of Coniinorce.
Wheeler succeeded in making a ma
jority of the convention believe his
statements.
The old "Blue Laws" of 1795 were
denounced in a resolution in which
the asociation went on record as
favoring a more liberal observance
of the Sabbath. The resolution Con
tinues to demand the abolition of
the Blue Laws and other "fanatical
measures" which act as a "curb or
check" on the "legitimate and nat
ural instincts" of mankind. The
resolution favored the permitting of
entertainments, whether admission
is charged ro not. Support was
pledged to any exponent of more
liberal Sunday measures.
Textbooks used in the public
schools of Pennsylvania came in for
their share of denunciation from the
delegates. A resolution was pre
sented and adopte without issenting
vote, in which' the context of the
books use in the State were declared
to be unsuitable.
Wants Americans Home
"They have been prepared without
regord to the fundamental needs of
workers," the resolution said. "They
have been censored to meet with the
economic desires of the employing
class." The resolution declared ir
favor of the revision of the text
books used in the public schools of
the State to meet with the more
universal need of labor.
The retention in Russia of Amer
ica forces sent to Europe to battle
the Huns received the severe con
demnation of the convention in a
resolution adopted during to-day's
session. With the armistics signed
and the Peace Treaty in the hands
of the Germans, there is no need
for the American forces to be kept
in Russia, it was said. The men
should be immediately withdrawn
and the Russian people left to solve
.their situation themselves, it was re
solved.
Another resolution bearing on the
Russia situation was adopted. It
was urged that the removal of the
blockade on Russian ports be ac
complished without any delay In
order to permit the sending of sup
plies to the people of that country.
They have plenty of money, the
document declared, with agents in
New York City eagerly awaiting the
opportunity of purchasing and S '\ l P"
ping to their countrymen the needed
for the Russian masses than any
supplies. Such a course will do more
food commission could do, the reso
lution pointed out.
Opposition to the private owner
ship of public utilities as detrimental
to the best interests of the people
of the State at large, was recorded,
In a resolution in which the aboli
tion of the Public Service Commis
sion was favored. The Public Service
Commission has favored these Pri
vate owned corporations, in which
it was declared rates were boosted
without reason. Approval was given
to the Reber House Bill N"o. 1401, in
which the abolition of the Public
Service Commission is provided.
Endorse Free Ireland
City administrations were declar
ed to be responsible for any bad
housing conditions that might exist
within their cities. As the guardians
of the interests of the city people,
they were declared also to be duty
bound to do their best to prevent
rent gouging, profiteering, etc.
Recognition to the new Irish re
public without delay was urged In a
resolution in which it was declared
that as a democratic measure this
country was bound to support it.
The people of Ireland were com
mended for the action they have
taken.
The release of all political and
war prisoners received the approval
of the delegates. In the resolution,
introduced by Miss Pauline New
man, of Philadelphia, the release of
these persons, "languishing In the
Jails of the country," was urged
since the war has been ended. It
was pointed out that other countries
had taken similar action.
The organization went on record
as favoring the reduction of hours
rather than the reduction of forces
in cases of industrial depression
when it becomes necessary to curtail
production. The resolution pointed
out that specific Information was at
hand that Industries of the State at
times created artificial periods of
depression In order to secure speci
fied results, such as lower wages
and longer hours. The resolution pro
vides that efforts shall be made to
make the plan of reducing hours
rather than forces, a national prac
tice.
Plan Investigation
The State Legislature was called
on in a resolution to do something
really constructive for the benefit of
the returned soldiers, sailors and ma
rines. Along this line, another reso
lution condemned Chamber of
Commerce controlled employment
agencies created for the benefit of
the soldiers, but gave commendation
to those conducted by the State De
partment of Labor and Industry.
The officers of the State Federa
tion of Labor were authorized to in
vestigate the alleged piling up of
expenses by railroad managers for
what was termed the purpose of
proving government control of the
railroads unsuccessful. Tt was de
clared that the managers were in
terfering with the government in
their efforts to prove government
control a financial success. Condt
dltlons in Pennsylvania, especially,
were declared to be bad. It was rec
ommended that the American Fed

have arrived and will be distributed among the members within a hort
time. The signs were made up especially for the Chamber of Commerce,
and are designed to be hung on a wali or stood on a table or desk. They

tions in other parts of the country
for the same purpose.
Agitation of government owner
ship by the delegates was. favored
as a measure that will prove bene
ficial to them. They were called on
to aid to the greatest possible ex
tent to prevent the return of the
railroads to private ownership.
Other resolutions adopted'favored
the Keiley bill providing for collec
tive bargaining by government em
ployes; the continuance of the old
age commission; opposition to the
anti-sedition bill; favoring the mine
inspectors bill; favoring a six-hour
day for mine workers; condemning

Not Enough Tickets
For 28th Division Review
Clarence O. Backenstoss, secretary to
Mayor Ketster, to-day expresses his
regret that every Harrisburger who ap
plied for grandstand tickets for the re
view of the 28th Division in Philadel
phia could not be accommodated by the
Philadelphia committee. Mr. Backen
stoss had charge of the work for this
city and conferred three times with the
committee in Philadelphia.
Tickets were mailed direct from
Philadelphia and the demand evidently
was larger than the supply on hand.
Hundreds of Harrisburg people left the
city early to-day for Philadelphia.
Scores were without tickets to grand
stands but were willing to stand in honor
of the marching hosts.

KEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy—if You Know Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets
The secret of keeping young is to feel
| young—to do this, you must watch your
liver and bowels— there'snoneedof hav
-1 ing a sallow complexion dark rings
under your eyes—pimples— a bilious
look in your face—dull eyes with no
soarkle. Your doctorwill tell you ninety
percent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver. •
Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action yet always efiective. They bring
about that exuberance of spirit, that
natural buoyancy which should be en
joyed by everyone, by toning up the liver
and clearing the system of impurities.
You will know Dr. Edwards' Olive
Tablets by their olive color. 10c and

Buy Coal
this spring
Prevent Shortage
next winter
Remember the coal famine of 1917-18. The
reason we have been advising coal buyers to lay in
their winter's supply without delay is because} we
know conditions that prevail at the coal mines
the source of the supply.
So far this spring there has been mined little
more than half the normal production of coal. The
talk, therefore, of coal shortage next winter is not
a myth, but will become a stern reality unless buyers
take their coal from now on, and keep up a steady
demand, which in turn will cause steady production.
If householders wait, as many used to, the
chances are they will regret it when cold weather
comes again. Labor and transportation will not be
able to meet the winter demand should Consumers
"hold off" ordering until later.
These advertisements are costly. Our
whole object in using space in the daily
papers is to prevent a serious situation for
Harrisburg and for you. Phone us your
order today.
