tiations at Chicago.
Chicago, March IS. - The wage
scale conference of the bituminous
coal operators and miners of western
PENNSYLVANIA. Ohio, Indiana and lii
nois resumed negotiations here at the
same point at which they were left
off at Philadelphia two weeks ago.
The present agreement will expire
April /, but the opinion is expressed
that, though apparently the employ
ers and the men had made no prog.
ress toward settlement, there would
be no labor crisis. but the present
scale would remain in force until a
new scale had been accepted.
When the joint committee met here
the mems demands were presented
by John P. White, president of the
United Mine Workers, in the same
form that failed of acceptance in
Philadelphia.
The meeting Of the policy commit
tee was not held in Philadelphia, but
will be held here after the operators
committee has responded formally 10
the mems demands.

When Scranton and contagious

Barrett was sent to Harrisburg to
work up sentiment in favor of the new

taiblished. Later Mr.. Barrett was

during the legislative session Barrett

BETTER MARKET FOR MUNICIPAL BONDS

The recent experience of the city of Philadelphia
in disposing of an issue of 81 900 bonds sold
'over the counter" at par, bears witness to i'm
proved condition in the market for high class ml-
nicipal securities and proves that such loans can
now be foated four per cent. basis, despite
the disturbing effect finances of the world caused
by the European war; In discussing the success of
this cover the counter sale, Cyrus ID. Foss,
tary to the Mayor of Philadelphia said:
With individual small investors eager purchase these
bonds neither banks the Sinking Fund Commissioners
took dollar of them, and it the first time within the
memory of any city official that loan has been foated
without any help from either of these sources.
Philadelphia S ability now to sell four per cent.
bonds at par without any difficulty and without
the necessity of calling banking houses to under
write them may be taken indication that con-
ditons have improved materially since the start of
the war at which time it is doubtful if even such
giltedge bonds could have found market except
at considerably higher rate of interest. This may
be taken proof that there is plenty of money to
put into safe securities the psychological de-
preston that has temporarily robbed investors of
confidence has been removed.

TO MAKE A LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR USEFUL.

Mayor Frank B. McClan, of Lancaster. Lieuten
ant Governorelect, is regarded by Lancasterians
as rain-maker. There reason. About a month
ago, when everything in the vicinity of Lancaster
was parched by the drought and the city water
supply scant, Mayor McClain issued procla-
nation calling the citizens to refrain from using
the water extravagantly and to make use of it
only when necessary. Old Jupiter Pluvius must
have been reading the news in and about Lancaster
He took pity on the community, and the next day it
rained sufficiently to relieve the drought
few weeks later the same dry conditions pre-
vailed and things worse than before. On
Saturday last Mayor McClain again issued procla
nation to the Lancasterians warning them that the
water must be used sparingy, and he set watch
to see that his warning was not disregarded That
evening it rained and continued to rain all day
Sunday and all day Monday and it has been raining
ever since with few variations in the form of
snow and seet.
Now the people of Lancaster are wondering what
they going to do for rain hereafter in times of
drought when Mr.. McClain is not in the Mayors
chair. However, Mr.. McClain goes into the chair
of the Lieutenant Governor the entire state might
utilize him when rain is needed and get him to issue

ACTIVITIES OF THE CENsoRS

The statement which comes from New York that
women by the thousands are committing suicide in
European countries because the censors have pre-
vented news concerning their husbands, sons and
brothers from reaching them, may be authentic or
it may be great exaggeration. That it has some
foundation in fact, however seems likely. At any
rate it does not to increase our respect for
the censors
The industrious English censors have been keep
ing back news of Importance from the entire world
They have censored even messages of the King,
have sliced and slashed items of interest in many
instances, without reason. The people of Great
Britain in an uproar about it, and although our
concern is not so immediate on this side of the
Atlantic, we can find much to criticise in the way
in which the news is being handled.
Granted that secret moves of armies and of ves-
sells are not events which should receive publicity,
because of the help such information would afford
the other side yet things which have occurred and
cannot be changed need to be announced as matter
of public record.
The censors have no right to stand, as it were,
between the events of the war and the public. and
hide the progress Of affairs from view The people
OF England ought to be able to stand the news of
calamity to their side and they have asserted that
rather than do harm, such news would stir up in
creased zeal among them to serve their country,
and spur them on to greater efforts.
The French government is about to publish a
periodical giving news of the war and comments on
it from the French point of view. The Germans are
now seeking with great diligence to set the world
right from their viewpoint. Yet the American pub
lie, if its wishes known would doubtless prefer
more detailed statements of facts through the GEN.

DOCTORS IN DEMAND

In Germany doctors are at present in urgent
demand. Civilians are realizing how great has
been their dependence upon the men of the medical
profession, that great number of these men
have been called to the front to care for the
soldiers.
To request of the Leipsic Physicians Associa-
ton that licensed doctors and unlicensed medical
students be released from their obligations to
at the 'front.' the Prussian War Ministry has replied
that the physicians and surgeons are so badly
needed where the firing is heavy, that can be
dispensed with except for service in communities
which have been entirely stripped of medical men.
There is no telling what diseases may spread, or
what suffering may be undergone in towns which
the war has deprived of medical protection. While
the doctors are on the firing line endeavoring to
lessen fatalities among the nations soldiers, the
women and children and weaker men who cannot
qualify fighters, left in the towns unguarded
against the insistent ills of human kind As much
as the soldiers need the DOCTORS to such an extent
civilians miss them
We may not appreciate our medical men in this
country as we ought by merely hearing of the
urgent need for doctors which is making itself felt
abroad We would perhaps need to experience that
dire necessity ourselves before we could fully un-
derstand what physicians mean to the great mass
of the people in any community
