COLD STORAGE ACT
STAYS IN STATUTES
House Refuses to Pass the Re
peaIer After a Prolonged De-
bate Led by Wilson

The Clark Senate bill to repeal
Pennsylvania cold storage act was
lost in flood of oratory in the House
last night 1t took over an hour for
all the speeches to be made and the
act of 1918 was sharply attacked for
its alleged drastic features and on the
ground that it gave unfair advantages
to people living in other states
w. H. Wilson, Philadelphia, who
led the fight on the repeater. declared
1t to be the most unfair bill of the
session and charged that there had
been trickery because the day the
Senate canned" the proposed uniform
cold storage act the repeater started
on its way. He called attention to the
fact that the cold storage men had all
said at hearings that they favored
regulation and that now 1t was sought
to abolish all safeguards.
Mr.. Reynolds, Philadelphia, urged
the repeal, as did Mr.. Hepburn, Della
ware, on the ground that 1T was un-
fair to the people of the state, while
Mr.. Steedle, Allegheny, declared 1T
brought no benefit. Mr.. McNichol,
Philadelphia, a member of the cold
storage commission, said at no time
was repeal asked of that body. Mr..
Walter, Franklin. also opposed repeal.
The House passed the bill author
izing street railway companies to op-
crate lines of jitneys or motor cars In
connection with their systems. The
bill to require jitney lines to pay per-
centages of gross receipts to public
treasures and to give bonds for dam
ages due to accidents was dropped
from the calendar.
Must Hear Both Sides
The House passed the bill requiring
magistrates upon preliminary hearing
of all cases, except those involving
heinous crimes, to hear the accused
and persons in behalf of accused.
The bih requiring registers and
call records on telephones on limited
service was recommitted.
Bills passed finally
Establishing salaries in Department
of Public instruction.
Prohibiting Sunday fishing.
Fixing pay of register assessors in
boroughs and townships at $3.50 per
day at primary elections.
Requiring all state officials and at
taches handling public money to give
bonds, to be paid for by the State.
The House refused to reconsider the
bill to exempt agricultural companies
from state tax.
Three bills were defeated, as fol-
lows
Allowing hotels and cafes to dilute
cream served to the public.
| Regulating costs in appeals to the
Supreme and Superior, Courts.
Regulating poor districts compris-
| ine a second class city.
| The bill placing a one-mill tax on
capital of manufacturing and laun-
| dering companies was recommitted.
The House passed tho Ware reso-
luton for constitutional amendment
regulating recording of deeds.
The Senate bill for bird day" was
negatively reported.
The bill regulating deposit of county
| funds was reconsidered.
The House adjourned at 1856.

Legislative News
NEW CONSTITUTION
BEFORE THE HOUSE

Amendments Reducing Size
of the Convention

stitutional convention, the delegates to

in each senatorial district. The COM
pensation of the delegates is to be
$3.50. The bill is No. l on the list of
the present House and was presented
on January 25. 1t has caused much
discussion.
The anthracite coal tax bill was re-
ported to the House by Mr.. Ehrhardt
Lackawanna, soon after the opening
of the night session. 1t was amended
by the House ways and means com
mittee after a lively debate to provide
that there should be an equal division
of the tax between the commonwealth
and the municipalities producing the
coal. The bill as presented as an
administration measure provided for
the State to retain so per cent. The
tax rate remains unchanged.

Forster, Philadelphia, to provide for

NEW DRESS FASHIONS AND WAR

The dressmaking establishments in
England are confronted with a prob
lem in the solution of which they may
be obliged to call upon the American
manufacturers for assistance.
Mr.. Bartlett, chief of the Foreign
Trade Bureau, writes from London
that nearly all of the principal shops
and department stores dealing in
ladies' dresses report an almost nor
NAL demand with an increasing ten
dency to accept a later fashion of
wider skirts. Because a majority of
the mills, which ordinarily turned out
dress goods are now engaged in the
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-04-28

manufacture of material for war sup
plies, there has been a shortage of
dress material. 1 believe that this
shortage will be much more noticeable
with the increased demand due to the
greater amount of material in max
ing dresses. This matter is consid-
cred to be of sufficient importance to
warrant publication of columns of ar
ticles in newspapers on the subject.
There seems to be especial difficulty in
sevuring a material of serges, covered
cloth and similar goods.
Efforts are being made in prac-
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-04-28

tically every line of manufacture to
keep the prices down, but with de-
mand greater than the possible supply
1t scarcely seems probable that prices
can be kept at the normal level. 1t is
American manufacture of dress goods
which could not be sold in the Eng
lsh market in competition with the
products of the British factories may
be introduced under the present cir
cumstances.
