PISSES IN HOUSE *1 ' After an Exciting De bate the Measure Is Adopted by a Vote of 135 to 68 GOES NOW TO THE SENATE Mr. Maurer, Socialist, Declares That $700,000 Has Been Expended in the Fight in the Legislature in Be half of the Bepealer The House last night passed the Baldwin measure repealing the full crew law by a vote of 135 to 68 after a debate of two hours. The repeal places the power to require proper manning of trains in the hands of the Public Service Commission. Those who argued for the bill held that the full crew law is not an economic necessity. Those opposing it laid stress on the fact that a number of trainmen would* I be thrown out of positions. The Dauphin members, Swartz andj i Wildman, of Harrisburg, and Nissleyl j and Young, from the county, voted for , the repeal The measure now goes to I the Senate. Representative Myers, of Washing ton, in opening the debate, declared | that the present law is entirely too! r drastic and urged that the change 'be j made. He pointed out that the Public' Service Commission had not been es-! taiblished when the full crew law was j passed in 1911, and at present the su-! pervision of trains could be left to the I Commission. Mr. Kuhn, Greene, also spoke for the i | bill, saying that the law put an unfair | burden on the railroads, and that the railroads could be depended upon to take care of their patrons. Upholds Full Crew Law Mr. Palmor, Schuylkill, declared fhat , the railroads had not established by , preponderance of evidence that the law was not needed. He attacked the rail- ; roads for raising fares after obtaining 1 a freight rate increase. Petitions had | poured in on legislators -from people who did not know what they were sign- / ing, he said. The extra rates, he re- i marked, would yield $50,000,000, t whereas the full crew law cost but 12 - i 000,000. * ' ' "Death rates go up, and so does ton- i nage, said 'Mr. Palmer, who predicted i that the repealer would throw man}' men out of work, and said that for "him- r self he preferred to see monev spent c for wages that bought food and cloth- | ing than for steel cars. 'Mr. (Maurer, 'Berks, the only Socialist it member, charged that the railroads had f started an unheard-of campaign of let- v ters. He received 30,000 letters and thought other members had gotten S more. He calculated that the postage r in the letter campaign cost SIOO,OOO v . \ • STAR-INDEPENDENT.

Mr. Maurer said the letters were J not a true expression of sentiment and charged that men were coerced into signing them. The Berks man alleged that railroad lobbyists had been busy right on the floor and that he had heard some legislators had 'been taken on an automobile trip. He made a plea for defeat of the bill on behalf of organ ized railroad men. For or Against the Bill "No Legislature ever required Penn sylvania's railroads to adopt the tele graph or the block system," contend ed Mr. Walter, Franklin, and he said the men managing railroads could be-de pended upon to safely run the proper ties, as a matter of plain business. The cry that men would lose their jrfbs, he said, was raised when reaping machines t came into use in the grain fields, and is as old as modern industry. Replying to Mr. Maurer, who had read a letter against the repealer, written last fall by Senator Penrose, "Mr. Walter said the repealer was not a party measure. "The laws of Pennsylvania are very strict regarding the liability of rail roads," he declared. "You can leave the question of safety to them. They are business men, and strive to avoid wrdeks. Economy alone would compel railroad managers to put on extra men ' where they are required." Mr. Ehrhardt, Lackawanna, who presented the bill, passed in 1911, de clared legislators should not heed the letters which had been mailed in such large numbers. He said there are mem bers of the present House who voted for the full crew law, but none who voted against it to-night. A fair play plea was made by Mr. Spangler, York, who said that a law requiring wages to be paid when there was no fair return brought about aa economic waste and was a monstrosity. Mr. 'Rich, Clinton, declared that a i good many people in his district be lieved the present law unnecessary. EFFORT TOIiND LOCAL OPTION BILL OEFEATED The local option bill will stand or fall in the form in which it was re ported from committee. The House of Representatives laat night practically howled down an amendment which was offered when the ibill appeared for action on second reading. The measure, unamended, passed second reading and will be up for final passage in the j House to-morrow morning. Representative Habgood, of Mc- Kean county, tried to have the bill amended to change the unit from counties to cities, boroughs and town ships. This amendment mustered but three favorable votes. "The aati-galoon league has invari ably presented a bill along the lines of the amendment I have offered to night," 1 declared Habgood, in cham pioning his move. "If you have the county for a unit, the large cities will keep the country districts from being dry. If you adopt the amendment the dry territory will be maintained free of the vote of these large communi ties." Representative Roney, of Philadel phia, who announced "he would vote against the bill, said the founty unit had been before the public for months and it would be unfair to fehange its provisions at this time. '' Both friends and opponents of the bill should vote the amendment down," he added. Chairman Williams, of the Law and Order committee, who sponsored the bill, spoke against the amendment, asking that the bill stand the test as it was presented. Scores of petitions favoring local option were presented to the House and were referred to the Law and Or der Committee. One of these contain ed 130,000 n-ames of Sunday school pupils, whose ages range from 13 to 20 years. This petition was presented by Mr. Vickerman, of Allegheny, who is superintendent of a large Methodist Sunday school. VARE WANTS A PROBE OF COAL PRICE INCREASE Senator Vare offered a resolution jn the Senate last night providing for the appointment . iby the Governor of a commission of three, to serve without pay, to investigate the charges that operators of anthracite coal mines and retail dealers arbitrarily increase the price of coal, and to ferret out any conspirary that may have been enter ed into to effect increases. The com mission is authorized to sit anywhere and may send for persons and papers, and may compel the attendance of wit nesses and the production of books. It will report to the Governor on Janu ary 1> 1916, and to the Governor and Legislature on January 1, 1917. The resolution went to the Committee on Appropriations, as it carries an appro priation of SIO,OOO. \V hen the Daix bill providing for the regulation of motion picture fUms and the creation of a board of cen sors came up on third reading. Mr. Thompson asked that it be sent back to committee on Judiciary Special for amendment. Daix objected and wanted to know the nature of the amend ments. Thompson replied that he had learned that the bill carried $32,000 in salaries and he contended only $16,- 000 was necessary. Daix demanded a "yea" anil "nay" vote on the motion to send the bill back to committee and it was sent back by 23 to 16. Previous to adjournment a recess was taken during which the Commit tee on Miires and Mining held a meet ing and decided to report favorably the bill fixing the responsibility for mine accidents on the owner or opera tor of a mine, with an amendment bringing anthracite miners under the provisions of the Workmen's Compen sation bill. Governor Brumbaugh sent to the Senate the nomination of Colonel George W. Elliott, of Philadelphia, to be a member of the Valley Forge Com mission to succeed the late William U. Hensel. The nomination was confirmed at once. APPEALS TO BftfTAIN FOR MORE WAR NEWS PUBLfCIH London, April 20, 3.22 A. M.—An | other appeal to the government to take I the country further into its confidence is contained in an editorial in the "Times" which points out that exeept for local successes the war situation has undergone little apparent change in the past five months. The paper declares that changes in the battle line during the period on both the eastern and western fronts hardly would be noticed by a map maker whil« official statements regarding the Dardanelles operations leave much to| be desired. "We urge the government," savs the "Times," "to use every effort to make the nation understand how small is the progress yet attained on land and how great and manifold are the sacrifices which still must be faced."

NO MORE BNCUSHFOOTBALL UNTIL AFTER THE WAR ENDS London, April 20.—The English football Association has announced that with the close of the present sea son on May 5 no more professional football games will be played until aft er the war is ended. 'lt was necessary to finish the pres ent season,'' even at a heavy loss," tha secretary of the association explained, "because of the existing contracts for players, grounds and other things, which involved an expenditure of $4,. 000,000.
