vouchsafed to Pennsylvanians in the
year about to close. The proclama-
ton sets aside Thursday, November
27, 1913, as Thanksgiving Day, and
recommends that our usual places of
worship be filled with the "reverent
and grateful people, praying Al
mighty God that the observance of
the day may find favor in His sight,
to the end that the future may know
nothing but peace, prosperity and
happiness" .
Whether the anti-pass law can
annul a free transportation contract
entered into before its enactment is
an interesting question that has been
put up to the Public Service Commits

1t entered into contract with certain
landowners that in consideration of
grants of right of way these persons
should have free passes over the
lines for the remainder of their lives.
The commission is asked to deter
mine the status of these contracts
in the light of the provision of the
subsequent Act of Assembly prohibit
ing the granting of passes to any
but employees.
