Mr.. Maurer said the letters were
not a true expression of sentiment and
charged that men were coerced into
signing them. The Berks man alleged
that railroad lobbyists had been busy
right on the floor and that he had heard
some legislators had been taken on an
automobile trip. He made a plea for
defeat of the bill on behalf of organ

the men managing railroads could be- de-
pended upon to safely run the proper
ties, as matter of plain business. The
cry that men would lose their Jobs, he
said, was raised when reaping machines
came into use in the grain fields, and is
as old as modern industry. Replying to
Mr.. Maurer, who had read letter
against the repeater, written last fall
by Senator Penrose, Mr.. Walter said
the repeater was not party measure.
1.-The laws of Pennsylvania are very
strict regarding the liability of rail
roads, he declared "You can leave
the question of safety to them. They
are business men, and strive to avoid
wrecks. Economy alone would compel
railroad managers to put on extra men
where they are required"
Mr.. Ehrhardt, Lackawanna, who
presented the bill, passed in 1911, de-
elared Legislators should not heed the
letters which had been mailed in such
large numbers. He said there are men,

for the full crew law, but none who
voted against it tonight.

passed in 1911, and at present the su-

Commission.
Mr.. Kuhn, Greene, also spoke for the

burden on the railroads, and that the
railroads could be depended upon to
take care of their patrons.
