Federation Makes Plans For
New Political Party to Be
Launched Next Year
James H. Maurer, of Reading,
and Charles F, Quinn, of this city,
were elected president and secre
tary-treasurer, respectively, without
opposition, at the eighteenth an
nual convention of the Pennsylva
nia Federation of Labor. Ballots
were taken at the morning session
for the other offices, but results
wore not announced until the aft
ernoon session.
State's Policy Outlined
Absolute fairness, both to labor
and to tho employing class, is the
policy of the Department of Labor
and Industry, Clifford B. Conneley,
acting commissioner, said in outlin
ing the policy of the department.
Labor will receive courteous and
fair treatment at all times, but it
must not expect to have tlie rights
of the employing class infringed on,
he said. ,
The department is ready to co
operate at all times in order to pro
vide sanitary conditions for workers
in every industrial establ'shment,
and is working at all times to bring
about this result, he declared. It is
to bo desired that the State Federa
tion and the department work in co
operation that they may aid in
shaping the policies of tho other.
Labor laws in general were consid
ered.
The committee on organization
recommended that every effort be
made during the succeeding year to
secure the affiliation of practically
every labor organization of the
State. Tho work of the officials in
securing the large affiliation during
the past year was commended.
Plan labor Party
Resolutions fttvoring the organi
zation of a new labor party in Penn
sylvania through which it is hoped
to secure greater political action as
it concerns labor, were adopted be
fore the close of yesterday's session.
The executive committee was in
structed to outline principles of such
a party to be. further considered at
a special convention to be called
next January. This resolution was
passed at the instigation of the
Pennsylvania Lodge, International
I Association of Machinists, which
• passed a similar resolution at its
! meeting earlier in the week.
j , Resolutions were passed in favor
I of tho Schantz bill which provides
j for a forty-eight hour week for
j women, in favor of a constitutional
j convention and in favor of equal
j pay for equal work by schoolteach
| ers. A resolution endorsing the
; Soviet government in Russia, was
• introduced but was referred for ac-
I tion to the convention of the Ameri

j resolution made speeches supporting
the Socialist party but were rebuked

tially women's work. The men who
are badly scarred and those who are
entirely deaf are timid about going
out uiwl must be persuaded. It was
a most triumphal flay when we had I
placed a tall man whose right eye j
and cheek bone had been shot off,
away in the back seat, a man whose |
right shoulder had been shot to j
pieces, and the hole was being tilled i
in with bone taken from his leg—|
had placed the men with bad right;
arms on the right side of the car,
the ones with injured left arms on
the left side, and the man whose
knees would not bend where he could
sit with his legs outstretched. And
just as we Were off we spied the
blackhaired boy who had been 'all
shot pieces' in his wheel chair,
we asked him to go along because
if he sut with the driver, I could
stand on the running board. That
would be against the regulations—
but it would be such fun! We lifted
him in and as we settled him in place
we wanted to hug each other and j
weep or sing 'Waltz Me Around j
Again, Willie,' or 'The Gang's Ale
Here.' Instead, wo smiled, gave a|
personal smile to each of the thir-1
teen men at one time and said, 'AH |
set! Then we're off'.' For it doesn't
how you feel, you smile and smile,
even when you can't. And, if the
first night you've got so tired be
cause you've worked so hard and
seen so many till.igs you didn't
want to"" ypu just lie face down on
your pillow and weep. You're sure to j
rouse when the other 'Motor Girl
savs, 'This is mighty good chocolate'
and 'what did you think of that big
doctor? Thinking just because he's
big and handsome. I'd talk with him
and leave that little Italian boy with
the crippled legs, who was telling
me what a wonderful dancing stunt
he and his partner used to do when
they were on the Keith circuit."
No One Downhearted
"And then you swap stories and
tell about the man who had a nose
made from a bone taken from his
finger, and the skin from his foye
head has been brought down, turned,
twisted and made to cover his nose
and after three or four more
operations he'll have a beautiful new
nose. And the most startling experi
ence of all, dancing with the man
who breathes through his Adam's
apple! A bullet cut his windpipe,
and now he breathes through a tube
that passes through his throat and
when he swallows he presses his
finger against the opening, and when
he talks he takes a long breath and
fills his lungs with air, and can talk
very well, in a low, husky voice.

through the country, and, oh, the

The same kind of work is done at
the Carlisle Military Hospital. The
wounded soldiers, many of them
Pennsylvania boys. are taken on
daily drives through the country in
a big Oldsmobile, and at least twice
a week they go to Mechanicsburg
where they are treated to a dinner

times they come to Harrlsburg and
theater owners here are glad to
throw their doors open wide to the

Splendid Way To
Reduce Your Weight
There is perhaps no one thing that
so plainly shows the passing 'of our
youth as the horrible tendency to put
on too much weight after we have
reached the age of 25 or 30 years.
However young our faces may appear,
the sagging, dabby figure and forty
inch waist "gives us away."
The cause of this over stoutness is
that our stomachs convert the food
we eat into fat because there is not
enough oxygen in the blood to pro
duce a proper combustion to destroy
the excess fatty tissue. Fat people
will be pleased to learn of a simple
home method that Is wonderfully ef
ficient in reducing weight, quickie
anil easily without a starving diet,
violent massage or strenuous exer
cise. Go to any drug store and get
[a box of Phynola; take five grains
[ after each meal and at bed time. This
treatment will often give quick re
lief from overburdening fat. Phy
nola taken at meal time assists the
stomach in giving you the benefit of
the food you eat; at the same time
dissolves the fatty tissue from any
part of the body where there is exces
sive fat. By this method many have
reduced their weight a pound a day
and there is no fiabbthesa left. Gorgas,
the druggist, stores, 16 ,N. Third st.,
3rd and walnut sts. and Penna. It. K.
Station can supply you with the genu
_ ine Phynola at a small cost.
BUMP'S ESCAPE
JOLTS PLANS TO
CROSS ATLANTIC
Gianl C-5 Was Swept lo Sea
From Moorings in
a Gale
By Associated Press.
St. John*. N. P., May 10. The
dirigible C-5 was picked up eighty
miles off St. Johns at 6:35 p. m. by aj
Hellish steamer whose name could;
not be learned. The steamer stood |
by -the dirigible until morning. It tell •
to the sea and was sighted by the ,
stca.aei before dark.
Bt. Johns, N. P., May 16,. —Plans'
of the United States Navy for a,
trans-Atlantic flight by dirigible re
ceived a serious jolt when the giant!
C-5 burst from her moorings in a |
gale and was swept out to sea soon j
after she had arrived from Montauk
Point, after being in the air con
tinuously for 25 hours and 45 min
utes.
The destroyer Edwards imme
diately set out in pursuit with orders
to bring the big gas bag down with
anti-aircraft artillery \t necessary.
Even If the Edwards is able to bring
back the Blimp before some se
rious misfortune befalls her, it prob
ably will require some time to repair
the damage which may have result
ed from her fall into the ocean.
Lieut. Charles G. Little, of New- j
buryport, Mass.. who was given
charge of the C-5 after her crew
had been bundled off to bed aboard
the cruiser Chicago, was almost car
ried away by the fugitive gas bag
while making a nervy attempt to de
flate it.
Seated in the Blimp's nacelle when
she broke away, he seized the rip
ccrd and gave a tug which should
have opened up the big envelope
and permitted the gas to escape.
The cord broke, however, and Lieut.
Little, realizing he would be un
able to bring the ship down, leaped
out from a height of 25 feet. His
only injury was a sprained ankle.
The escape of the C-5 followed a
long struggle by sailors from the
cruiser Chicago, to prevent its in
jury when gusty west winds swept
across its mooring place in Quid Vidi
basin and began tossing it about.
-Several of the sailorA clinging to guy
ropes, were thrown down by the
dirigible's final tug but none were
injured.
The loss of the B'imp was a bitter
disappointment to Lieutenant Com
mander W. Coil and his crew
of five. Despite a heavy fog and un
favorable weather they had brought
the big ship over a 1,300-mile course
from Montauk Point with a per
formance record which they were
confident would have brought the
coveted order from the Navy Denart
ment to attempt the overseas (light.
The dirigible was "lost" in the
fog for a time yesterday morning
over Avalon peninsula, the south
eastern point of New Foundiand.
For two hours she cruised about,
seeking the landing field here which
was known to her crew only by radio
description. Jtadio directions receiv
ed from the base served only to com
plicate the situation, for while the
base was send the bearings of the
Rending station from the C-5, the
C-s's navigators interpreted them
as the ship's bearings from the sta
tion.
Eventually. Commander Coil sight
ed a narrow gauge railroad which
he followed to ft. Johns. The town
of Topsail was then recognized and a
direct course was laid which took
the dirigible toward Quidi Vidi val
ley.
Lieut. J. V. Lawrence was at the
wheel and effected a landing that
elicited exclamations of apprecia
tion from British airmen who had
gathered to welcome the airship.

nothing ttiat will supply this defic
iency so well as the organic phos
phate known among druggists us
bitro-phosphate, which is inexpensive
and is sold by most all druggists un
der a guarantee of satisfaction or

I Increase in weight also carries with
