ONE MANS OPINIONS
BYN D. COCHRAN
Observation-Disclosures YOU SYM
pathize with union labor or not you
are safer eating in a union restaurant
than in one that isn't.
Where an employer deals with each
of his cooks, walters or other en-
ployes' as an individual he can do
about as he pleases. The poor in
diVidual employee is even afraid to
complain of unsanitary surroundings
for fear Of losing his job.
Where employees are organized,
however, each employee is backed by
all the others and isn't afraid to de-
mand sanitary working conditions or
to complain of conditions that may
affect the health of both employees
and patrons.
l notice that one of the restau-
rant owners who is having trouble
with the mattresses union boasts. to-
the public that conditions in his eat
shops are better than union condi-
tons.
There is a confession in that boast
that union conditions establish the
standard; and it often happens that
when a union strikes against work
ing conditions in any business the
manager Of that business will bring it
I'D to union standards in order to be
in better position to fight the union.
The public is gradually learning
that the union label means some
thing to the public as well as to the
workers; for there is much involved
in unionism besides wages. Unions
fight against filthy surroundings -
which are a menace to the public as
well as to the workers. The same
is true of unsanitary surroundings
and violations of the laws of health.
And often when an employer in

If the game gets too strenuous the

BAN PUT ON PUBLIC SALES
Live Sock Board Rules Against Them
While Quarantine Lasts in County

Unless the quarantine for foot and
mouth disease is lifted in Dauphin
county, there will be no spring sales
such as usually accompany the removal
of a farmer tenant from one farm to an
other, at which time he generally dis
poses of his surplus cattle and house
hold goods. Nor will there be any pub
lie sales on the farms where the farmer
proposes tc leave the State and go West
or to any other section.
An order of the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board was interpreted to-day
to mean that in every county in the
State that is under quarantine there
shall be no public sales on farms
Should sale take place in violation of
the order, the person holding the sale
is liable to a fine.
Throughout Dauphin county many
sales have been advertised to be held,
but, unless the State Live Stock Sani-
tary Board removes the quarantine or
changes the orde~ relating to sales so
as to permit them to be made under
certain conditions, there will be no
sales in Dauphin county during the com
ing spring.

rose puzzled the politicians on Tuesday
when, on his return from Washington,
ne asserted that he knew nothfno of
any agreement among Republican lead
ers to name Representative Amber. of
Mcnogomery county, as next Speaker of
the State House. Ambler's candidacy
it has been asserted, has found favor
with Governor-elect Brumibaugh. The

1t was asserted that Senator Penrose
was committed to Amber. To this the
Senator replies that ''some one is
jumping at conclusions. Further it
was learned that Republican State
Shairman Grow, who first declared in
favor of a member from one of the
country districts, only learned of the
agreement on Amber on Tuesday.
POLITICALLY, however. there was a
well-dehned feeling that perhaps Sena-
tor PenrOse's statements were 1'simplv
covering up the agreement so that the
appearance of making slate might
lbe avoided. " On the other hand. with
Representative Baldwin. of Delaware
county, stoutly maintaining that he is
still a candidate it was observed that
there were possibilities of a dissenson.
Senator Penrose s interview opened
with his statement that:
The time for slatemaking has gone

this question. 1t should drift along. as

Notes With Governor on World Trip

Hans Lobert, the third baseman of
the Philadelphia National League
baseball club, was a guest of Governor
Tener this afternoon, coming here to
pay the Governor a long promised Wis
it in order that they might compare
notes of their baseball trips around the
world.
Governor Tener was q member of the
ALI American team that went around
the world in 1889, and Hans took the
same trip last year as a member of one
of the Comiskey teams that toured the
globe.
"We both visited the saihe places,
but years apart" said the Governor,
"'but Mr.. Lobert may have seen things
differently from what they appeared to
me, and we will compare notes. -.
Lobert has not yet signed to play
with Philadelphia next year, but of
course his visit to the president of the
league has nothing to do with that.

HUNTING COST q LIVES
Biggest Death Roll From This Cause in
History of Pennsylvania

The toll of death from accidents in
Pennsylvania during the hunting sea-
son OF 1914 was unusually heavy With
bu; one district to hear from, the State
Game Commission to-day reported that
twentyseven persons were killed in the
Pennsylvania hunting fields between
September l and the close of the sea-
son. and ninety persons were injured.
OF the killed, only one was mistaken
foy deer and shot-a young State
forester in Lycoming county The
greater part of the killing was caused
by careless handling of guns by the
men in the field.
This is the greatest number of hunt
ers killed in one year since the law was
passed requiring hunters not to shoot
at deer until the horns could be seen.
