At the present time there are thirty

Of the wealthiest philanthropists have
either refused to aid In the work or
have put off making their donations

ATTACK RAILROAD
RELIEF SYSTEM
Discharged PennSy Employees
Ask if They Are to Lose
Dues Paid

HARRISBURG, April 2.-Is the
Pennsylvania Railroad relief depart
ment justified in depriving an en-
ploye Of the benefits of money paid
into that department whenever the
company may choose to discharge
him?
That question has been put up to
the State Railroad Commission by a
number Of Harrisburg railroad men,
who recently lost their jobs when the
Pennsylvania began to retrench.
The complainants allege:
1t is unfair that all their dues paid
in years past should go for naught
when circumstances over which they
have no control make it convenient
for the railroad company to lay them
off.
The commission, it is understood, has
assured the mon that their complaint
will be taken up at an early date.
The first action of the commission
on a complaint was taken when a
letter was addressed to a committee
of Reading Railway employees, who
had asked whether they could be com
PEELED to work more than sixteen hours
when held up behind a wreck. The
commission replied that the sixteen
hour law is a Federal statute, and that
the Pennsylvania commission, there
fore. has no jurisdiction, but that the
Interstate Commerce Commission had
ruled that the sixteen-hour act does
not apply in cases of accidents not due
to company negligence.

CHANCES GOOD
FOR WARM EASTER

Dealers in spring wearables are glad
that Easter comes late this year. Par
ticularly are dealers in millinery re-
joicing, because the chances are good
for a very warm Easter. The winter
hats will probably look very much out
of date by Easter and it is safe to say
that the milliners will have a busy
time Of it, supplying their customers
with seasonable headgear In cloth
ing lines dealers have reason to be
glad even though the times are not
as good as they might be. Warm
Easter weather means the purchase
of spring and summer suits early.
Such a season as the spring OF
1907 will long be remembered as a
poor one for clothiers, and other deal
ers in wearables for men and women.
The rush was long delayed, but it
eventually came, however, for de-
spite the general aspect of weather
conditions, by the middle of last
April winter garments become very
uncomfortable and unreasonable.
