BIG BROTHERHOODS
WILL NOT TAKE PART
IN Moderated STRIKE
So 1t Is Reported About Railroad
Today; Meeting This
Evening
FITZPATRICK'S STATE M ENT
Tells Trainmen Their Duties;
Pierce Says Strike Has
Only Started
'ITZPATRICK'S STATEN M ENT

Conflicting reports concerning the
status of the strike of some hundred
members of the Brotherhood of Fed
Grated Railway Employees against the
Pennsylvania Railroad at this and
some other points on the system were
atloat to-day following the arrival in
this city of several of the leaders of
other brotherhood organizations.
Members of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen and the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen had heard a report to
the effect that their officials will in
struct them to take absolutely no part
in the strike unless instructed. 1t was
pointed out that a strike order could
be issued only after a majority of the
members of the orders had voted in its
favor and then only upon the recon-
mendation of the grand officers.
The attitude of the big brotherhoods
named will be ascertained at meet
ing to be held this evening of repre-
sentatives of all the transportation or
ganizations. This joint meeting will
be held in Whites Hall, Third and
Nerbeke streets.
1t was freely predicted that they
will assume a hands off, attitude and
refuse to be drawn into the contro-
Versy.
Among railroad men throughout the
city the consensus of opinion seems
to be that without the backing of the
transportation brotherhoods the strike
of the shopmen and the maintenance
of way men will soon fiZzle out.

Resolutions Denounced

Union printers of Harrisburg are de-
nouncing the action of a conference of
the district typographical union held
at Reading last Sunday when reso-
lutions were jammed through intend
ing to relieve the Harrisburg Patriot
and its owner of the stigma of non
unionism.
According to the Reading Eagle,
which prints a report of the proceed
ings, the Harrisburg delegates to the
conference protested vigorously against
the resolutions. J. S. Macklin, of this
city, is reported as having objected to
injecting politics into the union. lie
stated that the Patriots owner had
never signed a wage scale and does
not use the union label. Linwood Il.
Wanbaugh, of Harrisburg. secretary of
the district union, thought, the subject
should be dropped "If the resolution
is passed. he declared "it will be
used as Mccormick ammunition. If It

protested against the political effect of
such action. j. Edward Rodenhaver
of Harrisburg, sharply criticised the
Patriot and its owner and attempted
to make a speech at the conference
but was denied the floor on the score
that he was not a delegate.
1t developed to-day that an affidavit
had been made by former employe
of the Harrisburg Patriot declaring its
attitude toward union labor and recit-
ing the facts of former lockout on

whose places are alleged to have been
taken by nonunion men and strike
breakers at that time.

CUMBERLAND IS
SOLID FOR KUNKEL.
CARLISLE REPORTS
All Indications Are That Dauphin
County Judge Will Sweep
the District
Sreei-i to The Telegraph

Carlisle. Pa, May 13.-Cumberland
county will give a large majority for
Judge George Kunkel candidate for
the State Supreme Court bench, at the
primaries next Tuesday. All indica-
tions are that he will sweep the dis
trict.
The Carlisle Herald publishes the
following editorial commendatory of
Judge Kunkel;
Friends of President Judge George
kunkel, of Dauphin county, witnessed
the opening of the final week of the
primary campaign with satisfaction.
They are all confident that the Dau-
phin judge will be nominated for the
vacancy on the Supreme Court bench
and the plans for the final week of
the contest are being carried out with
out hitch. The record of Judge
Kunkel is known all over the state.
All through the campaign his friends
in every county have been distributing
literature telling of his work in the
Capitol graft trials. the fun crew law.
the intricate State tax suits and in
scores of other legal actions, and the
result is that probably no voter will go
to the poles next Tuesday ignorant Of
the character of the man who now
presides on the Dauphin bench.
Every voter whose name is on the
lists in city. borough or county can
vote for Judge Kunkel. A voter must
be enrolled as party man to vote a
party ballot but an unenrolled voter
is entitled to the nonpartisan ballot
for the Supreme and Superior Courts.
1t was on just such ballot as this
that Judge Kunkel was unanimously
reelected to the Dauphin county
bench last November. Should Judge
Kunkel he nominated at the primaries
on Tuesday of next week he will pur-
sue the same course throughout the
general campaign that he has observed
during the primary struggle. He will
take no active part and will leave the
campaign entirely to his friends"

WRESTLE WITH ICE
CREAM CONES, BREAD
AND HAIR CLIPPERS
Council Hears Complaint From
BARRIERS, Bakers and
Manufacturers
FINAL ACTION ON TUESDAY
Various Amendments Are Likely
to Be Made Before Pass
ing Regulations

Ice Cream cones. wrapped bread
and BARRIERS clippers are the three
chief problems with which city council
must wrestle in adopting the new food
and health regulations.
Tuesday the new rules are due for
final action and before the City Com
missioners vote on them for the last
time. the bakers of the city and prob
ably the BARRIERS will be given hear
ing through their counsel.
The rules originally prohibited the
sale of ice cream cones, sandwiches
and so on in the streets; required the
wrapping in impervious paper of
bread sold in the streets, and the
sterilizing by BARRIERS of clippers and
other implements after each job. But
Council hasn't decided definitely just
what it will do about either of these
things.
Cone Problem Serious
The ice cream cone problem is re-
Cognzed as a serious one in view of
the fact that it might limit the child
ish pleasure of the small person who
has only cent to spend for ice cream; m;
the wrapping of bread will cost an al
ditional quarter of a cent it is conten-
ded by the bakers. and this will run
the total cost for wrapping Harris
burgs bread supply to in the neigh
DOEnOOu Ol SON,uuU, lllt VI
every BARRIERS instrument after every
individual job will mean a hardship
loss of time and consequently of pat
ronage. and will mean the ruin of The
instruments. These are a few of the
objections to the features of the health
provisions.
Certain changes have been suggested
to the orginial rules however which
have practically agreed upon. Among
these are:
Uniforms for the sanitary officers,
the style and color to be approved BY
the bureau of health and sanitation.
Manufacture of ice cream with
other ice cream after it has melted,
prohibited.
Use of bruised fruit in ice cream
manufacture prohibited.
Bread sold in stores or from coun-
ters to be wrapped or properly guard
ed from flies. etc, by paper, not nee
essarily oiled paper.
Carpet Beating Hliowcd
The provisions originally requiring
the erection of fences around vacant
lots to prevent the blowing about OF
ashes etc. is stricken out. Carpets
are permitted to be beaten in open
lots also.
The fine imposed for violation has
been modified to some extent. III
stead of penalty of not lecs than s.
not more than S100, the penalty for a
first offender has been fixed at not
more than So

Why Women Are
Shrewd Buyers

Any man will tell you that his
wife can get more out of dol
lar than he can.
Women have the natural value
sense they know what their
moneys worth means.
One reason for this is that
women are great readers of ad-
evertising. No part of news
paper is of greater interest to
them than the advertising col
umns.
They study them daily and
they shop as carefully through
the newspapers as they do when
they go to the stores themselves.
Without the advertising, tho
newspapers would lose half of
their women readers. Incidental
ly, local merchants would lose
more than half of their business.
Would you like to know more
about 1t while you are working
on your plans? Drop a postal

vertising. American Newspaper
