REDF|ELD'S REPORT
CRITICISED AS FARCE
Manufacturers Declare Secretary
Doesn't Know What He Is
Talking About

Trenton, y. j., Feb. 25.-The report
of Secretary Redfeld, of the Depart
ment of Commerce, intimating that the
inefficiency" of American pottery
manufacturers was responsible for
whatever loss of business they might
have suffered, was denounced here
to-day by various pottery makers as
silly" and 'preposterous.
Some of the potters intimated that
the report was good object lesson in
the inefficiency of Redfield's own de-
partment. Others said it was a 'po-
litical play, pure and simple" for the
purpose of confusing the people and
shifting blame for the disastrous re-
suits of the new tariff law. A num-
ber of manufacturers frankly said Sec
retary Redfieid did not know what ne
was talking about when he issued the
report; that his men had been to
Trenton and had been given every faci-
lity for investigation, and that the re-
port was a farce when actual condi-
tions were considered.
1t is probable that the Redfield re-
port will be taken up and made the
basis for action by the Trenton Pot
ters' Association. One leading manu-
facturer said the matter would be
taken up at the next meeting of the
association and that a letter probably
would be sent to Secretary Redfield
asking him for particulars, and espe-
ctally asking him to specify how the
American manufacturer was ineIfi-
cient"

SUPERVISORS URGED
To FORM STATE BODY
Road Experts Point Out Benefits
at Annual Session of Dauphin
County Association
BENEFITS TO TRAVELLERS
Importance of Maintaining and
Building Highways Theme of
Interesting Talks
BENEFITS TO TRAVELLERS

The Importance of amalgamating all
| the county road supervisors associa-
tions into one great State organization
for the mutual advantage of the
farmer particularly and the public gem
orally who travel the roads and for
the county and the State from the
viewpoint of economy and efficiency
was the keynote sounded by all the
speakers at the annual session of the
Dauphin County Road Supervisors As
sociation to-day in the grand jury
room of the Courthouse.
The question of combining for CO.
operation and efficiency has been ad-
Vucated for months and the movement
is heartily supported by the State
Highway Department. In many of
the counties the supervisors have al
ready organized.
Several experts on the various
phases of highway construction and
maintenance connected with the State
Highway Department were among to-
days speakers. Following their talks
they answered questions on the sub
iects under discussion. Among those
who talked were:
Thomas r. Mcdowell. superintend-
ent of highways for Chester county
and president of the Chester county
association. one of the oldest in Penn
sylvania. whose theme was road i'm
provements and the advantages to be
derived, particularly in the farming
communities. by a thoroughly well
kept system of roads; w. a. Wynn,
engineer of the bureau of township
highways. who discussed the main
tenance and repairing of roads, and
G. A. Hardt. assistant engineer in
charge of District No ,, of which Dau-
phin county is n part. He. too. pointed
out the advantages to be gained by
keeping the highways in proper shape.
The county association elected Off
GERS last Fall and the question of
whether or not the new year should be
started to-day by electing new officers
or whether the old incumbents should
hold over for the year was discussed.
The officers are: President, E. d.
Messner, Upper Paxton; first vice
president, c. F. Harman, Wayne; sec
ond vice-president. John X. Zoll, Her
shey; secretary, /. f. Bogner, Speece-
VILE, and treasurer. George Aungst,

health and have gained in weight.
Z. L. Marshall. Shreveport, La
The recovery of Mr.. Marshall was
due to the combined action Of the

properties of tonic iron contained in
Vinol. which seldom fails to strengthen
and tone up the tired, overtaxed and
weakened nerves of the stomach and

No Feeling Against Trainmen

They hold no hard feelings against
even the superfiuous trainmen whose
wages make an unjust, because un-
necessary, charge upon transportation
service.
"On the contrary, and this state
ment can be taken as public notice of
the fact, every one of the twenty-one
railroads now working for repeal of
the excess man crew laws would pre-
fer to keep employed. but in useful
service, the men for whom these laws
make jobs. Further, with the laws
repealed. every loyal and efficient man
so laid off because unnecessary where
he now is, will be considered as on the
extra list and be given employment at
the first opportunity.
AT present many trains are man.
ned, because of the law, in excess of
any operating requirement. For ex-
ample, the st. Louis Express of the
Pennsylvania railroad, a train of eight
cars, carries a railroad crew of six,
and a Pullman crew of six. or twelve
men, not counting eight men in the
dining car who could be requisitioned
into outside service in emergency"

RAILROAD HEADS
DENY ALLEGATIONS
Issue Statement on Effect of Full
Crew Law; Feel Kindly
Toward Trainmen
Special 70 The Telegraph

Philadelphia, Feb. 25.-Three rail-
road presidents and r. L. O'Donnell.
chairman of the executive committee
OF twenty-one associated railroads of
pennsylvania and New Jersey issued
the following statement to-day:
What seems to be deliberately mis-
leading statements are being made to
members of the State legislators and
TO others with regard to the full crew
laws, which in effect are and should
be called excess man crew laws
For example, we are reliably in
formed that it has been asserted that
repeal of the law in PENNSYLVANIA
would deprive of positions at least 900
men in Bradford county. This is un-
true. There are a large number of
men in that county employed by rail-
roads, big proportion of them in
the Lehish Valley Railroad shops at
Sayre, which is also a division point
on that railroad.
Statements circulated as to the
hardships which repeal of the excess
man crew laws in Pennsylvania and
New Jersey would impose upon train
men are intended to play upon false
sentiment. The public should under
stand and employees should be assured
that in this campaign for repeal of
laws which make arbitrary EMPLOY
ment and do violence to economic
laws, the railroads do not war upon
their men;

Tag Collections Will Exceed That
Sum When All In, Says Com

Between $4.500 and $4,000 was raised
for the local Boy Scout organization
yesterday by the sale of tags, accord
ing to a calculation made last night by
Scout Commissioner Martin. The exact
amount of money obtained from the
sale of tags could not be ascertained.
as returns had not been received from
several troops which had taken a lead
ing part in the activities Of yesterday.
From the sale Of house, automobile
and buttonhole tags a total of $4,441. 81
had been turned into scout headouar-
ters by 10 o'clock last night, when the
Office closed. Tomorrow troops which
failed to make their returns will be
heard from and Mr.. Martin is confident
the total will be brought up to at
leAst $4,000.
Because of the incomplete returns
to determine definitely what troops had
made the largest sales. For the same
reason the names of the scouts in the
eight divisions who turned in the
greatest amounts of money from the
sale of tags could not be learned.
Attractive prizes have been offered
to the scouts making the biggest sales
They include tents, wrist watches, axes.
cooking kits, blankets, compasses and
watch fobs.
More than 500 worth of tags were
sold by Scout Mainhall of Troop II and
several scouts sold $50 worth. Scout
Mainhall will be prize winner in one
of the divisions. but whether he will
have the. distinction of having made the
greatest sales of any scouts cannot

pected for some time.
Three months ago Gen. Kitchener

ing and has, from time to time, made
suggestions which had been followed
with absolute precision by the Cana
dian authorities.

Now that the summons had come, the
second expeditionary force will go for
ward at an unrevealed date in the near
future to join the first expeditionary
Canadian force now at the front, he
said The Canadian second expedition
ary force had not been summoned soon
er for reasons which commended them
selves to the head of the war Office
and reasons which are generally recog-
nized."

nous number of men under training in
Great Britain the task to provide ac-
