reached next Saturday in the campaign
for membership for the Commercial
club, which will come to an end Satur-
day evening. The ball was started
rolling last eevning and two teams
were selected by the captains and ac-
tive work started at once, although no
announcement will be made of the sue
cess of the campaign until next Satur-
day, when the members will be counted
each hour. The membership fee has
been reduced to the installment basis,
bringing them within the reach of all.
Enthusiasm is at high pitch and the
struggle between the two teams prom
Uses to bring the membership OF the
club to the proper standard.
Mum is the word until next Saturday
and then each hour the people of Dew
lis Lake will be notified which team is
in the lead. Members in arrears will
also be taken in on the membership,
at the conclusion Of which the winning
team will be rewarded.
At the meeting last evening Charles
Stotlar and r. E. Austin were select
ed as captains of the two aggregations
which will parade the streets all next
week soliciting members. Stotlar s
team: Charles Stotlar, r. A. Young,
Ed. Flynn, X. Morgan, J. Duis, L..
Mundt, ]. Wilson. W. X. Nimmo, DR..
w. E. Hooking and Hal Davies.
The Blue Ribbon Boys: R. E. Aus
tin, Harry Kneeshaw, Charles Jenne,
A. l.. johnson, A. V. Haig, W. H.
Reid, NJ. A. Tenney, Tom Turner, S. L..
Wineman and Joe Collinson.
Some are Of the opinion that Charles
Stotlar of Greenwood fame has the up
per hand due to his experience in sell
ing lots, while Stotlar himself claims
that the Blue Ribbon boys had first
choice Three insurance men make up
the list of those of the Blue Ribbon
team and this should be wonderful
asset to the aggregation. Even money
on the contest was reported this morn
ing and only few were giving odds and
picking the winners.
At the meeting of the Blue Ribbon
boys this morning the city was divid'
ed into four districts and two mmebers
were appointed for each district with
two members at large. There was con.
siderable discussion for the time over
the fact that Stotlar's gang had con.
tiscated all the application blanks, but
more were found and the work was
started in earnest.

Suit Filed Against
the Reading Railroad
Government Would Compel Dissocia-
ton From Coal Company in Ac-
cordance with Plans.

WASHINGTON July ia government
suit to compel bona fde dissertation Of
the Reading Railway company from the
Reading Coal company was filed today In
the federal court Philadelphia.
The action parallels a recent one against
the Lehigh Valley and is the government
second move in its new fight TO separate
the coal carrying railroads from their
virtual control OF the coal business.
The government charges that the Phlla-
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron com
pany, the Fulton Coal company, the Locust
Gap Improvement company. the fremont
Coal company, the Mammoth Vein Coal
and Improvement company, the Preston
Coal and Improvement company and the
Delaware Coal company are dummies OF
the Reading Railway company and the
Reading company which is the holding
corporation.
As in the Lehigh Valley suit, the govern
ment charges that the Reading Coal COM
pany and its subsidiaries are buying an
thracite coal from independent operators
with the object OF removing competition.
transporting It 10 market ct a loss and
there regulating the selling price. The
coal company loses on such transactions.
the government alleges that the railway
company may profit from the freight
charges.
