dustry. says that the meeting is to be
held for the specific purpose of-deter-
mining in what manner the industries
of the State and the Department of
Labor and Industry can cooperate to
improve the economy of production
and the quality of the goods produced.
One of the important methods of doing
physical capacity of the workers
themselves, and reducing factors
which cause irregularity in their en-
ployment.
The Department of Labor and In
dustry is particularly organized for
this purpose and to aid in promoting
this work by pointing out methods
for improving unsanitary conditions,
for installing safety appliances, or
ganizing safety campaigns and for
betteTing other conditions of labor.
Another important way in which the
department should be able to assist in
avoiding much loss is by aiding the
pendable way of settling disputes be-
tween employers and employees than
by strikes. Other important purposes
which bear directly upon this question
are vocational education, best methods
of compensation, workmen's savings
banks. immigration and it's relation to
industrial conditions, etc.
The conference is of strictly busi-
ness character. and judging by the
excellent attendance and free discus
sions last year, it should be very i'm
portant meeting to the industries and
labor interests of the State.

Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-10-16

In the election of Henderson Gilbert
as president of the Chamber of Com
merce that body has recognized the
energy and public spirit of one of the
most active representatives of the
younger element in the business COM
munity He has had a prominent part
in the organization of the Chamber
and is in close touch with the important
developments of Harrisburg. His
unanimous election to the head of the
central business organization is a
tribute to his disinterested work for
the city and his capacity for the duties
which devolve upon the president of an
association which embraces so many
of the live wires of the city. There is
much for the Chamber of Commerce to
do, and its work during the first year
is a promise of the activities which are
certain to characterize the program
for the new year.
1t was expected that the intelligent
religious element of Pennsylvania
would quickly resent the scheme to
drag the churches into a partisan po-
litical campaign. When the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor sent out
his letter appealing to the preachers to
conduct services in his interest he
never dreamed that he was treadinE
upon very delicate ground. AS a mat
ter of fact he is learning through hard
knocks that cunning is a rather danger
Gus factor in any campaign.

Burleigh Co. viii
Have Good Roads
County Commissioners and Com
mercial Club Work together
For Big Improvement

Through a resolution adopted
at the meeting of the county
commissioners, Wednesday. Bur
leigh county will this year in
agurate a system Of trunk line
county roads. The resolution
provides for an expenditure of
county road money, not to ex-
ceed $4,000.
| The Bismarck Commercial Club
has been interested in such
plan for several months, and the
matter was discussed with the
commissioners at their January
meeting.
Under the plan Of the resolu-
tion, trunk line road will be
constructed east of Bismarck to
the county line, which provides
for an expenditure not to ex-
ceed $4,000. Another such road
will be constructed north of the
city towards Wilton, at an ex-
penditure of $4,000, and still
another through Commissioner
Davies district, in the north end
OF the county, to the extent of
$4,000.
The lines through the county
which these trunk lines roads
are to follow will be located by
the commissioners, acting in con-
junction with County Surveyor
Atkinson, who will prepare the
plans and specifications, the
bids for the work to be let at
the April meeting of the commits
sioners.
This plan marks great stride
towards the establishment of
systematic county roads, and will
cause the construction of high
ways that will make Bismarck
more easily reached, and increase
her Importance as a commercial
center. While this plan has been
proposed in a large number of
counties over the state, Burleigh
seems to have taken the initia-
tive in the movement, and it, is
believed that the new plan will
meet with the appreciation of
farmers and t0wnspeople alike.
While the commissioners were
in session this week, bids were
considered from eight different
concerns regarding the purchase
Of galvanized culvert material to
be used in county road improve
ment the coming year.-Bismarck
Palladium.
When the plans in Burleigh
county are completed and q
good road is made to Wilton,
what good will it do the people
in this part Of the county if a
good road is not built to Wilton.
There are several roads to that
town now but one is as bad as
the other and each is decidedly
punk.
This county has some extra
money for road building thia
year and the Wilton road should
get part of it.

According to astrology this is rath-
er an uncertain day, for, while Mars
is strongly adverse, Neptune is in
benefic aspect and Saturn is mildly
helpful.
1t is not an auspicious time for any
enterprise which requires calm judg-
ment. Mars, in evil reign, is believed
to incline toward acts rash and ill
advised.
While the aspect is in operation, it
is wise to be temperate in all things,
avoiding disputes and controversies
and utilizing the mental and physical
forces equally.
The confguration is an unfortunate
one for investments. Buying is sub
ject to most unlucky rule.
1t is not favorable time for deal
ing with engineers, contractors and
ironworkers.
Shipping today is subject to the
most promising conditions, but, owing
to the malevolent power of Mars, eau
ton should be exercised in all that
pertains to foreign commerce. Scan

dicated.
Saturn is in place believed to, be

is an especially fortunate prognosti-
cation for all who supply footgear.
