BRITISH ACTIVITY HERE
RAISES NEW QUESTION
Department of Justice Studies
Labor Recruiting, Though
Law Is Silent About 1t.

The Department OF Justice began an in
quiry into the legality OF recruiting work.
ingmen of this city for British munitIon
factories today, coincident with the sail
ing from New oYrk Of the American liner
Arabic, bearing 2s Philadelphia metal
workers destined to work in England's
munition factories and shipyards.
United States District Attorney Francis
Fisher Kane said today that the engage
ment OF workmen by British agents was
not violation of neutrality, the grounds
on which the Department Of Justice took
action.
While many persons believe that
furnishing workmen for British factories
violates the spirit of neutrality, the law
is silent on that subject" he said He
quoted the sections covering neutrality,
which forbid under penalty Of heavy fine
and Imprisonment the accepting of "a
commission to serve foreign prince,
State, colony, district or people in war,
by land or sea" or enlistment "as a SOL
dier or as marine or seaman" Workmen
do not come under this law, he said.
Information concerning the activities of
British agents in this city during the last
few days was forwarded to Washington
To-Day. The fact that munition workers
are as necessary to the British Govern
nlent at the present time as are soldiers
Is expected to bear weight.

BELL TELEPHONE co.
FIGHTSLOWER RATES
Attorney Opposes Tentative
Plan of Public Service Com
mission.

HARRISBURG, July 2S.--R. V. Marye,
Of New York, general counsel for the
Bell Telephone Company, resumed before
the Public Service Commission today the
argument In the matter of the tentative
uniform telephone rates submitted by the
commission. He devoted most of his
time to a discussion and explanation of
the testimony regarding plant value and
other financial factors, which, IL is the
contention of the Bell Company. should
figure in determining rates in this State.
One of the points he sought to bring out
is that telephone plants, leaving all idea
of good will out of consideration, are
worth more than the amount that II
would cost to reproduce them.
Al one point Commissioner Pennypacker
interrupted to ask how the commissIon.h
tentative rates compare with existing
rates OF the Bell Company sin this State.
and was told that the commissions rates
were SO incomplete that the telephone
companies do not know how to adjust
their rates to them.
The best they can do is to guess at II
and on that basis, 1t is their opinion,
the commission rates would wipe out the
present net profit.
Commissioner Pennypacker also asked
number of questions, with a view to
getting direct statement from the tele-
phone company's attorney on the justice
and value of the Commissions popula-
tion basis for rate making. In his opin-
ion, population is likely to be nearest
to a correct method, because 1t is i'm
possible to put II on bdsis Of county or
city lines or upon any other arbitrary
method. To this, Mr. Marye replied that
1t is impossible to make any one thing
the basis for telephone rates with any
hope Of making them equitable. AS for
the population basis, he called attention
to the fact that while the telephone was
first publicly exhibited in this State at
the Centennial Exposition, the State
ranks well down the list In the matter
Of the use of the telephone in proper
tion to population.

In England, the wages now being paid
according to the offer made workmen or
this city by British agents, are 10 cents

makes a weekly wage of Sl045 or about
the same as before the war Added to
this are the Government bonus and the
premiums for overtime work. Since the
war began many plants I'm this city are

Der OF men, machinists and toolmakers,

The cost OF living In England, accord
ing TO statistics. is approximately half
that of Philadelphia. The money which
the workman in the City Of Brotherly
Love spends for the necessities of life
would support two workmen in England.
But the British mechanic does not live
half as we'll as his equal in this city,

In the same ratio as the cost of living.
In no city in England do the workmen
