RELIEVETHE POOR
juggenheim Suggests
Plan at Federal In
quiry Into Causes of
Industrial Unrest
SIANY WANT WORK
(±NT> NOT CHARITY
Witness Advocates Government Agen
cies to Find Work For Unemployed
and Provision For the Comfort of
Aged Workers
By .(Mocujlfrf Prest.
Now Vork, Jan. 51. —Taxation of
arge fortunes upon the death of their
iwners to aid the poor, the estabhsh
iient of government agencies to find
nork for the unemployed, and provi
lion for the comfort of aged workers,
were advocated by Daniel Guggenheim,
jresident of the American Smelting and
Refining Company, in testimony to-day
it the inquiry by the Federal Commis
sion on industrial Rehtions into the
;reat philanthropic and the causes of
ndnstria! unrest.
Mr. Guggenheim said that, as a cap
talist. he favored these measures, de
spite the fact that they constitute some
>f the cardinals ideas of Socialism. He
ilso advocated "industrial democracy"
wherein the worker received a portion
>f the profits derived from the products'
>f his laibor.
Industrial unrest was caused to a
rreat extent, the wituess believed, by
the increased cost of living. In his
•pinion the philanthropic organizations
lid not affect much relief from poverty
is the average worker was reluctant to
iccept charity aud preferred employ
nent.
E. J. Berwind, owner of—coi! mines
ind director in many coal mining cor
porations and coal carrying railroads,
estified that he believed directors and
stockholders were not as well'acquaint
(d with labor conditions as they should
Advised as to Labor Conditions
Mr. Guggenheim was the first witness
«efore the Industrial Relations Com
nission to-day. He named many cor
iorations in which he and his brothers
ire directors. The witness did not
how how many men were employed by
in.v of the companies he is connected
vith. Mr Guggenheim said he kept
limself advised as tQ labor conditions
imong his employes aud that he per
onally paid frequent- visits to the vari
uis plants. Tihe executive committees
if the various companies, he said, were
onstantly visiting plants and mines.
Mr. Guggenheim said in the mining bus
ness their directors and not the stock
tolders were absolutely responsible for
abor and other conditions.
Improving Conditions of Workers
As for devices for improving the con
litions of workers, tne wituess said the
\merican Smelting and Refining Com
pany had installed many things not
inly to improve labor conditions, but
o raise the standard of efficiency. The
•ompanv found that by so doing the
mtput was increased and business gen
•rally was improved.
The witness said emphatically that
le did not believe laborers in smelting
md refining works should be permitted
0 work more than 8 hours a day. The
ncreasing high cost of living, the wit
less believed, was the cause of much
inrest among workers. Wage earners,
le thought, had as much right to organ
ze as capitalists; the American Smelt
ug and Refilling Company had no ob
jei tion to organizers going among the ]
•mployes, provided they did not inter- I
ere with the operation of the plants.
Increasing Industrial Discontent
Mr. Guggenheim said he believed in- I
lustrial discoutent was on the increase
lud had been for some years.
"And it will continue to increase un- 1
il some remedial measures are taken." j
le said. "The trouble is we haveu'ti
tail enough legislation. We are away !
>ehind Europe. We need more business j
egislation."
Mr. Guggenheim said he "didn't
want to advertise"' the philantropie ;
Di-jjanizations with which he was con
leoted. "I don't want to tell what l'vei
lone," he said. "I've done all that 1
an. I don't think any of us give
'nough.' I 'll tell yo,u though that I am'
nterested in many hospitals, homes i
ind societies."
People Want Work, Not Charity
He said he did not believe the great
philanthropic organizations were doing
he work they were supposed to do
•It's a job for the State, not for pri-1
. ate benefaction," he testified. " Many I
leople don't want charity. They want'
\ork. The State should find it for them, j
l'he State should tax great fortunes
viien rich men die and thereby receive ;
noney to take care of the people until j
hey can get along."
Workers should be taught to save, !
le said. They could not save now be- '
iause they didn't get enough monev to
•ermit them; but they could he,
said, if they received, as they should. '
1 part of the profits of the industries
n which they were employed.
The American Smelting and Refining
Company operates open shops. Mr.
puggeuheim testified because it would j
jot allow unions to run the business.
The management, however, would treat ]
rvth unions or with the men collective
,v, the same as with individual work- !
'crsonal Liberty Demands Open Shop
Another reason why the American
Smelting and Refining Company oper
ites open shops, Mr. Guggenheim con
inued, is because it does not 'believe it
las a right to control a worker's ae
:ions any more than it had to say -what
le shall eat and when he shall go to
>ed. Personal liberty demanded open
ihops, he thought.
Mr. Berwind, who followed Mr. Gug
fenheim on the stand, said, that the
Kilicy of his companies was to operate
iceordiny to law and to give the men
[very consideration possible. Their
*orkiug hours in the mines were gener
ally 9 hours a day and the daily wages
iTom $2 to $5. The companies had
nnde provision for compensation for
incidents. None of them employed chil
lien.
RUSSIANS VICTORIOUS

entrance into the fight continue to cir
culate; one rutnot to-day has it, how
ever, that Rumania will not immedi
ately declare war, but that she will
throw troops into Transylvania, which
is Hungarian territory, for the purpose
of protecting Rumanian nationals.
Meanwhile German official utterances
continue optimistic The communica
tions given out every day say that the
situation in the eastern theatre of the
war remains unchanged. Certain semi
-official summa-ie* of events received in
London by wireless telegraphy from
Berlin are somewhat more communica
I five. Such a message received recently
says the Russia's have had some suc
cesses, in which their losses were
heavy, and that the Turks have been
operating successfully in the Caucasus
and are now marching on Egypt.
To Flan Campaign Against Russia
Telegrams reaching here from Rerlin
record the arrival there of Archduke
Charles Francis, the Austrian Crown
Prince, and Dr. Von Bethmann-Holl
veg, the German Imperial Chancellor,
who are to be joined shortly by Raroii
Burina, the new Austro-Hnngsrian
Minister of Foreign Affnirs, presumably
for a conference legarding a plan of
campaign against Russia, ns well as the
adoption of suitable measures against
the prospective entrance into the war
of Italy and Rumania.
Recent dispatches from Sweden indi
cate that a German airship attack on
the new Finnish railroad between Swe
den and Russia is coming to be expect
ed. This is the line that runs around
the northern end of the Gulf of Both
nia. Tts destruction would be a serious
blow to Russia as the only other routes
of communication between Russia and
her allies are by way of the Baltic sea
or through Archangel on the north.
The former route has been made impos
sible by mines and the latter is likely
to be cut off any day by ice.
ISOLATION OF BRITISH
ISLES CONQUERED IN AIR
RAID, SAYS BERLIN PAPER
Berlin, Via Amsterdam and bondon,
Jan. 21, 10.02 A. M. — isolation of
the British Islands is conquered suc
cessfully." says the "Morning Post''
in its comment on the air raid made by
the Germans on the Knglish coilst. "Of
what use to Great Britain," it adds,
"are the surrounding seas and war ves
sels if our airships cross the water,
dropping bombs?"
The "Tages Zeitung" expresses sat
isfaction at the first air attack and
hopes it will be followed by others,
while the "Tageblatt" says that *it is
now clear "that the North Sea is no
hindrance to German airships.''
London, Jan. 21. 2.57 A. M. —The
'• Morning Post " dis missing the air raid
on the easl coast of Kngland, questions
the wisdom of the recent announcement
bv the government of its intention to
indemnify residents for loss of proper
ty. pointing out that the Germans may
take advantage by sporadic attacks to
drain the government resources.
"Such a pledge, if it amounts to a
pledge," says the "Post," "encourages
the enemy to proceed with its destruc
tion in the hope of crippling our gov
ernment financially. The damage done
to a country by an enemy is not proper
ly a liability of the government of that
country. If the French government had
pledged itself to make good the loss
sustained by the people in the present
war it might already be bankrupt. To
compensate for all damage done is to
accept liability which may be dangerous
to the State.''
The "Mail" suggests that the raid
was only a reconnaissance, a rehearsal
preparatory to a more serious raid dur
ing the next moonless period, which will
be in February. Other papers consider
that the raid was made merely to please
the German people.
GERMANS WENCHES:
LOSE CROUNO ELSEWHERE
Berlin, Jan. 21 (By Wireless to Lon
don, 3.05 P. M.). —Although spirited
fighting is in progress along the west
ern battle front, the official statement
from the German War Office to-day
shows that these engagements are of
merely a local character. The French
made repeated attacks near Arras and
south of St. Mihiel, but were repulsed.
The Germans captured trenches near
Ber/y-au-Bac and Pont-a-Mousson, but
lost ground in the neighborhood of
Notre Dame De Lorette. A defeat of
the Russians in small engagements in
East Prussia also is announced. The
statement follows:
"In the western theatre of war only
artillery duels took place yesterday be
tween Che coast and the Lys. Trenches
at Notre Dame De Lorette which we
occupied on the day before yesterday
were lost again to-day.
"Northeast of Arras the French re
peatedly attacked both sides of the
high road from Arras to Lille, but were
repulsed. Southwest of Berry-au-Bac
we took two trenches from the French
and kept them, notwithstanding their
fierce counter attack*.
" French attacks on our positions
south of St Mihiel were repulsed.
Northwest of Pont-a-Mousson we suc
ceeded in recapturing the positions we
evacuated three days ago. In that vi
cinity our troops captured four cannon
and several prisoners. Fighting still
continues for the remainder of the lost
trenches.
"In the Vosges. northwest of Senn
heim. battles still proceed. The situa
tion in East Prussia remains the same.
An unimportant engagement to the east
of Lipno ended favorably for us. One
hundred prisoners remained in our
hands.''
MANY ENCPUMS FOR THE
AMERICAN REDCROSS WORK
Washington, Jan. 21. —The work of
the American Red Cross in sending
abroad contributions for the velief of
those affected by the war, continue to
be praised in letters received here. In
a communication made public at Red
Cross headquarters to-day, Marquis De
Vogue, president of the French Red
Cross, and Monsieur Gustav /..dor,
chairman of the International Rod Cross
at Geneva, acknowledged the receipt
/

of donations and express their gratitude
for the gifts.
Marquis De Vogue writes that "the
splendid generosity of the American
nation assists greatly in mitigating the
suffering. I am the interpreter to you
of the profound gratitude of the Red
Cross and the army of France."
Chairman Ador says: "The aid given
by it to the belligerents is a new proof
of the admirable devotion with which
the American Red Cross fulfills its in
ternational duties."
LATE WAR SUMMARY

de Lorette, however, they were driven
from the trenches.
A German victory in a small battle
Ux East Prussia is reported.
Russian accounts of the war with
Turkey made it appear that the resist
ance of the Ottoman troops has virtual
ly collapsed. An official statement to
day from the Russian staff of the Cau
casian army says that further defeats
have been inflicted on the Turkish
troops in a series of rear guard actions,
and that the Turks, after suffering
heavy losses, are retreating precipitate
ly. The statement announces the capture
of a trans-Caucasian town near the
Turkish border. It is said also that a
Russian warship sank 12 vessels off the
coast of Asia Minor.
Fighting between Austrian and Mon
tenegrins which has been almost at a
standstill on account of the winter
weather and heavy snows, has been re
sumed across the border from Cattarro.
The Austrians bombarded Montenegrin
positions but it is said at Cettiuje no
damage was Inflicted.
The allies now their eyes on the
Rhine and British troops may be sent to
Belfort. in Eastern France, to take part
in any possible advance to the river,
says a Geneva report, which lacks veri
fication. It is stated that the advance
French trenches are within sixteen
miles of Rhine.

RELIEF STEAMER INTO PORT
Halifax, N. S, Jan. 21.—The Amer-

abled by the loss of her rudder several
days ago while on her voyage from San
Francisco for Belgium with relief sup
plies. probably will arrive here to-mor
row in tow of the steamer Lady Laur
ier.
A wireless message from the Lady
Laurier received by the Marine Depart
ment late last night said that the
Camina was down bv the head and that

a towing hawser as a result of heavy
weather, but a new iine was attached

SEEK HILL POST FOR (OVERT
Contractor's Friends to Endorse Him
for* Superintendent of Buildings
lii event of Samuel B. Rambo re
tiring from the position of Superintend
ent of Buildings and Grounds, the
friends of Charles E. Covert, head of
the Central Construction and Supply
Company, of this city, will present his
name to Governor Brumbaugh for the
place. The subject has been quietly
talked over by Mr. Covert's friends who
are interested in the appointment, and
it is understood that if the place is to
go to Dauphin county his name will .be
presented.
There already are two applicants for
the position of Superintendent of Pub
lic Buildings anil Grounds—former
Senator Oscar E. Thompson, of Chester
county, a contractor, who served in the
Senate from i 905 to 1912. and former
Senator John H. Landi*. of Lancaster,
who served in the Senate from 189 a
to 1596. and was afterward superin
tendent of the L'nited States mint in
Philadelphia. (
Superintendent Rambo was appoint
ed to the place by Governor Stuart and
has served eight years. He superin
tended the construction ef the Capitol
and it was his thorough familiarity
with the big building that he was
deemed the most available man to care
for it. Although coming originally
from Philadelphia. Mr. Ramba is credit
ed to Dauphin county in the list of ap
pointments.
It is argued that if there is to be
a change. Dauphin county, having the
office credited to it, has the first chance,
and in that event Mr. Covert's name
will be presented.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS IN
BASEBALLWARARE AIRED
rrwa Flrat Pas*.
Federals and President Robertson of
the Buffalo Federals that when they
went to confer with August Herrmann,
chairman of the National Baseball Com
mission last fall, they mu<t name at
least four conditions for peace.
First, the affidavit sets forth was
the recognition of the Federal organi
zation as a major league; second, repre
sentation by the Federals in the Na
tional Commission; third, protection to
every basebaH player and umpire that
had gone to the Federal League from
organized baselvall and fourth, partici
pation of the Federals in the series for
the world's baseball championship.
Iu attempting to arrange peace, the
affidavit snvs, the Federal League, at no
time, considered joining forces with or
ganized baseball and operating under
the so-called national agreement unless
it could be modified to become legal.
The peace negotiations of the Fed
erals. it was said, will be one of the
chief points of defense fen- organized
bull as its attorneys will contend, it is
understood thiat the admission of the
Federals that they sought recognition
from the National Commission will re
fute the charge that organized bull is
operating in restraint of trade.
After Attorney Addington finishes
his opening argument, which was begun
yesterday morning. George Wharton
Popper, of Philadelphia, chief of coun
sel for organized ball, will present the
argument for defense.
Indications were to ; day that it will
require many days, possibly more than
a week, to complete the trial.
The players' contract was called a
mere scrap of paper by Addington, in
resuming his argument. He declared
there was no real modification of rela
tions between clubs and players, de
spite changes in the option section of
contracts, and the elimination from
some of the 10-day clauses, which have
been made within the last year or two.
"The contracts were changed, but
the national agreement and the prac
tices under whicn organized ball con
ducts its business were not," he said.
"The player thinks he gets something
in this contract and its changes; he
gets nothing The contract is designed
for use in court; the national agree
ment and the rules of the National
Commission still govern the game."
Addington, quoting portions of the
opinion in which Federal Judge Bissell,
of Grand Rapids dissolving the Chi
cago Americans' injunction against
Hal. Chase, brought out the fact that
a player, under the national agreement,
has no real choice regarding salaries
and homes, and cited authorities to
emphasize the right to labor.
There was a falling off in attendance
to-day. Not only were many fans who
yesterday crowded the court room and
the corridors absent, but the assem
blage of magnates was notably less.

200 QUAIL IN THE CAPITOL
Birds, Imported From Mexico, Will Be
Distributed Through State By
Game Commission
The peculiar cry of "Bob White"
re-echoed through Capitol Park yester
day afternoon, and belated members of
the Legislature who were hurrying to
catch trains to iget out of Harrisburg,
stopped, looked around in wonderment
and asked if there was a quail preserve
in Capitol Park. A doorman at the
Fourth and State door of the Capitol
let out a cry of "there it goes," and
lied across Fourth street after a small
bird, which had gotten by him into the
street. After some trouble the door
man succeeded in shooing the small bird
back into the basement corridor and
into a wired over box.
It was a quail all right—in fact
there were two hundred quail—Mexi
can quail, direct from the State ot
Tainanlipas, bv way of Brownsville,
Texas. They were orought to Harris
burg by direction of the State Game
Commission and the 200 will be scat
tered throughout the State in groups
of ten. Almost all of thean were sent
out to-day.
These birds are exacbly like the
northern variety, except that they are
a trifle smaller, and they are exceed
ingly lively. They were badly treated
on the way from Brownsville, and had
grown quite thin from being improp
erly fed on the way. Colonel Edward
M. Householder obtained ten lively ones
for a York county farm, and will send
them over as soon as the weather is
settled.
