Railway Corporations Try to
Resurrect Dining Car Grog

Harrisburg, Pa, April II. = About
one year ago, the Pennsylvania Anti
Saloon League was having a round
with the railroads Of Pennsylvania,
relative to the question of selling
liquor on dining cars. From time i'm
memorial this had been done in open
violation cf the law and nobody SEEM
ingly had called the practice in ques-
ton.
Superintendent Carroll of the
League opened negotiations with the
railroads ard insisted that the practice
cease, since there was no law author
izing it. At first the railroads were
defiant, but discovering finally that
they had no law for their defense and
that their stewards were subject to
fine and imprisonment, the Pennsyl-
vania road took the lead and ordered
the sale of liquor discontinued on its
diners. Other roads speedily took the
same action, and within a few weeks
IAiS WhO1C nasty DuSliCSS Was Clllllll-
ated.
At the time the railroads took this
action, some of them boldly declared
they would come before the next SEES
sion of the legislature and secure
license law for dining cars.
In compliance with this threat these
corporations had a bill introduced
early in the session. 1t was fathered
by Hon. Eugene McAleer, of Phila-
delphia, who claims to be Progress
i've, but who, on the liquor question
is standpatter of the standpatters
He made hard fight for his dining
car bill and had back of him the Penn
sylvania railroad and the brewers.
During the present week his bill came
up for final action in the house and
was defeated by vote of "a in favor,
to III against.
Much credit for its defeat is due to
Hon. George c. Irwin, railroad en-
gineer and member of the house.
who, in d brief speech showed the in
consistency of railroads refusing to
their employees the right to drink, but
coming before the legislature and ask
ing for license to establish booze
joints on wheels. Among others who
swatted the proposal with brief
speeches were T. B. H. Brownlee and
C. F. Swift.
The decisive vote by which this
proposition was defeated indicates that
we are done with it for all time.

The Ground Floor

The ground floor is confidential apartment inhabited by the Ancient and AInphibious Order of Neb-footed Suckers. It is the first place a man is taken to when some sugar-coated brother spreads out a mineral map and shows him where they are shoveling out gold with dredge The ground floor proposition is a precise and costly method of cutting the eyeteeth who are not satisfied with per cent semi-annually. Every year thousands of men let ground floor, and q little later have to be helped the elevator Nearly all of the stock sold in this country is issued in the basement, where the light poor that nobody notices the fine print until he runs into the Outstretched of the first ment.
