FULL CREW SILL!
PISSES IN HOUSE

'
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

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."
Feared Zeppelin Raid, Lights Out

ernment has sent a note to China, which

TRIESTE IN A CRITICAL WAV
Rome, April 19, via Taris, April 20.
1 —The food situation in Trieste is crit
ical, according to advices telegraphed
here from the frontier. Tho ma.vor is
said to have announced officially that
the bread supply was exhausted, al
though that which has been supplied
for the past few weeks has been made
from a mixture in which wheat was
almost lacking.
Since it is impossible to obtain
wheat from Austria ami Hungary has
refused to permit the exportation of
any part of the stock on hand, Trieste
is dependent for its food supplies upon
shipments coming in by sea. The may
or in his manifesto is said to have
urged the people of the city to bo

and advised them to make potatoes
their chief article of diet.

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. None of these contracts has
been renewed for next year."
At the outbreak of the war there was
much opposition to the football asso
ciation and the football league carry
ing out their schedules for this season,
which began in November. Tt was de«
terniined by the football governing
■bodies, however, to adhere to their
program, but at the same time to give
every facility to the War Office in the
work of recruiting Lord Kitchener's
army. Many of the players, rather
than play, joined the army.
There was Bon.e talk of asking Par
liament to suppress professional foot
bajl during the war, but Premier As
quith declared that the situation did
not warrant any such legislation.

eighty British women who had planned
