Normal Conditions Are
Beginning to Exist in
New York and Vicinity
By associated Press

New York, March 3.-New York
continued to-day to dig itself out OF
the snow. The weather Is fair and the
temperature rising with warmer days
in prospect, according to Weather Bu-
reau announcements, to aid the army
of snow shovelers at work in the
streets and on railroads in the storm
area. With a foot of ice and snow
packed hard upon the heavy casing
of snow left by two previous storms,
the city Is assuming something like
normal conditions after thirty-six
hours of blizzard weather. The re-
moval of snow from streets and side
walks is the chief occupation of prac-
rically every person not otherwise en-
ployed, and everywhere in the greater
city the man with a pick and shovel
is the most prominent figure next to
the great mounds of snow left by the
previous storms which he builds still
higher. 1t was estimated that in New
York and vicinity, including the en-
ployes of the railroads. that an army
of $4,000 men Is engaged in raising
the snow embargo.
Journeys Resumed
Street car and railroad traffic I'm
proved to-day. All trunk lines with
terminals in New York, Jersey City,
Hoboken and Weehawken began NOV
ing trains to distant points for the first
time in two days and hundreds of
passengers marooned in stations re-
sumed their journeys.
Mails that have accumulated be-
cause of the traffic tie-up began NOV
ing and local telephone service, which
was interrupted and In some instances
suspended, was almost normal. With
the resumption of railroad traffic the
threatened milk and meat famine
passed, and it was believed that the
supply of coal would be sufficient be-
cause of the warmer weather. Diff
Guilty in moving coal resulted in much
suffering during the past several days.
especially among the poorer classes.
Inability to make deliveries also re-
suited in a shortage of beer and with
it the price advanced. This condition
was not expected to continue long
to-day.
Twelve Persons Dead
In the city and it's suburbs twelve
persons are dead as direct result of
the storm. Three of the lives lost
were those of laborers employed in
removing snow on the Long Island
Railroad. They were run down by a
motor train. Two other men, one a
snow shoveler, were killed by Long
Island Railroad trains. Two other
victims of the storm were killed by
fallen electric wires in Newark.
Wire communication with points
South and West while far from nor
NAL, was improved to-day.
Railroad traffic Generalization in
the East will result in heavy losses
by the theatrical interests. Several
touring companies are known to have
been delayed on Sunday and yesterday
and others are en- route between cities.
The Charity Organization Society
made public statement to-day in
which it was estimated that more suf-
fering among the poor resulted from
the storm than any other in many
years. 1t reported that yesterday 1t
had 2,7S1 families in its care, 546
more than last year at this time.

Rheumatism Pains
Quit in 48 Hours
Of All the Rheumatism Treat
ments Ever Prepared, This Is
The Most Remarkable

If in 48 hours your pains of rheuma-
tism, no matter how severe or chronic
are not completely gone, absolutely
gone after taking the new treatment
Tennel, your money Is returned to you
without hesitation.
Tennel is something different from
any rheumatism treatment you ever
used. 1t Is SO much more astonishing
because 1t contains no opiates or habit
forming drugs, no alcohol no salicylio
acid, nor will 1t affect the heart or the
weakest stomach.
You can expect positively to have
the pains of rheumatism quit you with
in 4S hours, and cure will follow. II
is equally successful in gout, lumbago
neuralgia and sciatic rheumatism
The Tennel treatment is marvel
Results in your case will bear this out

other years as this Is the first year
the present company has been In exist
|ence. 1t has been a profitable year
and a number of extensive improve
ments for the benefit of the Mr.. Har-
risburg Passenger who takes his 235
rides every year.
Pay-as-you -enter cars have been in
creased in number by the purchase
of seven new cars and the overhauling
of fourteen others. The report says
this pay-as-you-enter type has been
adopted as the standard of the COM
pany, as they materially reduce the
accidents to passengers. The COM
pany operates forty-two cars OF this
type.
Another convenience to Mr. Pas
senger has been the installation OF the
electric push button in the cars. Ac-
cording to the report only seventeen
of the 129 cars owned and operated
by the company do not have the cleo
trio buttons. Not only have the cars
been made more convenient and safe.
but tracks have been laid to parts OF
the city and nearby towns where there
has been need of additional traffic fa-
cilities. The most important extension
made this year is the Rockville line
where approximately 5000 feet OF
trackage has been laid. The other ex-
tension was the laying VI ipVfo lCCt
to form a new loop from Prospect
street to Twenty-irst street. This gives
a more convenient approach to Reser-
voir Park and better service to Belle
vue Park.
In addition to these extensions, ap-
proximately 10000 feet of trackage
either was relaid or resurfaced and
paved, and sections Of tracks which
had fallen into disuse were removed
in Third street from Chestnut to Null
berry street, and in Meadow Lane from
Second to Third street. lines that had
been in disuse for years. These tracks
were removed because of the agree
ment with the Pennsylvania Railroad
by which line to Rockville was made
possible.

presentation next week by the Denham
players OF Eugene Walter's nationally
famous -uccessS Fine Feathers which
opens Sunday matinee ut the Den
ham theatre. Walter has given to the

ice everywhere have pronounced his
Fine Feathers" to be masterpiece.
1t created a profound sensation upon
its production in New York and Chi
cago and it has tremendous appeal

moral for both men and women OF this
fast moving age. The leading roles will
be in the highly capable hands OF Miss
Alice Fleming, the popular leading wo-
man OF The Denham Players, and Carl

u. S. COMMISSION TO SOLVE
PROBLEMS OF HARVEST HELP
CONFERENCE TO BE HELD IN
KANSAS CITY NEXT MONTH.
During Past Season Federal Agents Dis
covered Lack of System in Securing
Help in Busy Times.

A conference will be held in Kansas
United States commission on industrial
relations for the purpose of devising
methods for better distribution of harv-
est workers in future seasons. Labor
union officials, secretaries OF CONNER
cial clubs, business men, social workers
and federal and state officials viii be
present.
During the harvest season just closed
the commission kept two agents in the
field They travelled with the harvest
workers and lived and labored with
them. Other agents studied the question
from the viewpoint of employment
agents. farmers, bankers and state of
ficials. This investigation has shown a
deplorable lack of authentic informa-
tion or OF any machinery for properly
directing the distribution of these work
ers. Towns in the grain growing states
would advertise for 5000 men when
they needed only 500, because of the
fear of a shortage of help. 1t is shown
that the lack of system resulted in n
decentralization of large numbers of
young men who ran out of funds and
were forced to live in cheap lodging
houses, where they were thrown into as
sociation with professional hobOes. Tho
community suffered because OF the
growth OF petty larceny and lawlessness.
At the coming conference it is pro.
posed to appoint a committee to work
out a plan and report to another meet
ing, which will be held in February.
Eventually the commission believes
that the distribution of harvest work.
ers can be properly brought about
through the system of federal employ
ment exchanges which il will urge Con-
gress to establish.
One of the abuses which it is hoped to
end is the practice of certain private
employment agencies in the large East
crn cities of charging men seeking en-
ployment as much as So or $40, and
then sending them to the labor commits
sioner OF some Western state, with no
more definite knowledge of the demand
than they have obtained by reading ad-
! vertisements and news dispatches in the
newspapers.

Continued Liquor Ban Urged.
Continue in force your orders prohib-
iting the sale or importation OF liquor
and the sale or importation of firearms.
and by all means continue to use the
power of your office to end this indus

sibility which is about to be placed on

it is safest to trust the functions of
government to the chosen representa-
tives of all 1.-THE people. While every
citizen has the full right to counsel with
his governor-to endeavor to secure the
passage of mandatory law directing the
course of official policy, and even, if
such citizen seriously differs, he may
exercise, under the law, his privilege OF
recall-no citizen, whatever may be his
private view as to the final policy
adopted, should urge or justify opposi-
tion by force.
Appeal Made to All Glasses.
Our state has already suffered much
in loss of life. \ heavy financial bur-
den has been inflicted ON all the citi-
zeus. There should be no recurrence OF
this. All citizens, labor and capital, all
organizations and combinations OF men.

The chief report of the committee
will be made to the Legislature during
the first week OF the coming session OF
the Assembly. 1t is expected that the
report will recite the conditions in the
coal strike field as seen by the commit
tee and will contain recommendations
for laws covering strike questions.
The committee spent several days in
formulating its advisory report to Gov

some members of the committee desired
to offer the governor more drastic coun-
sci in regard to the present situation
! but that other members objected.
