local purposes. Farmers are buying
seed, paying for agricultural imple-

Tentative plans along this line al

at present, expert ordnance and ex-
plosive manufacturing officers would
be detailed from the army and navy
stats TO speed up these plants.
One of the first acts Congress would
be asked to pass, II is understood.
would be a defense bill under which
the United States Government could

Government INQUIRIES
into Sales OF OLEO

That a trust has been formed to
sell to grocers and others so-called
butter as the real article without the
marking specified by the oleomarga-
rine law and that the trust is already
being investigated in other cities has
become known in this city. II is
claimed that officials of the Internal
Revenue Department are quietly in
vestlgating in this city also and that
some data has already been gained.
Butter that has more than 16 per
cent of water or more 10 the pound
is liable TO a government tax of 10
cents for each pound. Besides that
the government collects a special tax
OF $500 per year for the privilege Of
turning out butter that contains more
than Is per cent. of water. This
butter must also be marked as such.
If such butter is manufactured with
out getting first the license provided,
the offenders are liable TO a fine Of

TRAINMEN ORGANIZE
TO Invade POLITICS
Form Get Together" So
ciety at York; Will Back
Labor Unions
DEAL WITH ISSUES
IN PENNSYLVANIA

YORK, Pa. Aug. 24.-Plans of five
great railway brotherhoods to invade
both state and local politics took form
in this city when representatives Of
the five brotherhoods organized for
the ensuing fall political campaign.
The new organization will be known
among railroaders as the Get To-
gether" society w. ]. Rutter was
chosen chairman of the general COM
mittee. He will gave as his col
leagues on the committee Messrs. J.
B. Freed, A. n. Sitter. W. P. Acworth,
W. II. Farcht and Robert A. Warner.
The meeting was attended by dele
gates representing the local branches
OF the Brotherhood Of Railway Train
men, Order of Railway Conductors,
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi
neers. Order OF Railway Telegraphers
and Brotherhood Of Locomotive Fire
men. The purpose of the organization
is to promote political welfare of la
Dor unions in general. IL will be the
duty OF the general committee to call
upon candidates for city, county and
state Offices and interview them with
regard to their attitude toward vari-
Gus labor questions which a'e now
before the state legislature and which
may later on be presented 10 that
body for action.
Unless a candidate takes the same
view Of the labor questions as the
new organization, he may not expect
the. trainmen TO back him in his eff
forts to be elected. Similar organic
stions are being effected in railway
centers all over Pennsylvania and the
trainmen expect to enter the fall cam
paign in the biggest possible way.
Heretofore the railroad men played
small parts in political campaigns
This move was brought to a mead by
the fight waged by the five great rail-
way organizations against the repeal
of the full crew law. Plans to con-
solidate the five organizations took
form at large meetings Of railroad
men held in Philadelphia and Harris
burg.
The railway men of Pennsylvania
are the FIRST Of any state in The union
to organize for action in politics.
The organization is non-partisan and
candidates Of all parties will be ques-
toned as to their views on the prop
ositions in the minds Of the railway
employees.

ADVOCATES COLLEGE
MEN FOR Reserves
General Nichols Suggests
That Ten Institutions

WOULD BE SELECTED
FROM THE HONOR LIST

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.--Gen. L. W.
Nichols. superintendent OF the Nirgiaia
Military Institute, at Lexington, end one
of the best known military instructors
of the South, in letter 10 Chairman
James Hay, of the House committee on
military affairs, urges the utilization OF
the military schools and agricultural aud
mechanical colleges for the creation OF al
reserve list of officers for the United
States Army in the event Of war. Cen
eral Nichols plan is outlined as iol-
lows.
First By modifying the existing
laws regarding agricultural and ma
chapical colleges, so that cortam
minimum of military instruction shall
be given. This minimum should bo pre-
scribed by the Secretary Of War and
should be sufficiently extensive 10 de-
velop efficient reserve officers. IN addi-
tion, graduates of these institutions
should be required TO attend summer
enacmpments for period Of years m
order that they may secure the inten'
sive training these maneuvers afford.
Secondly making the laws and
regulations governing honor military
colleges, as defined and selected by the
War Department, more liberal under
either or both of the following plans
(al by giving each of 10 military col
leges selected annually by the depart
ment the right 10 appoint 10 second lieu
tenants 10 the regular army under such
restrictions as the Secretary Of War
may prescribe. thus ahording the army
100 additional officers each year; and
tbl by permitting each State TO appoint
two cadets 20 each Of these 10 institu-
tions on the same basis as TO pay as
now exists at West Point"
General Nichols adds that this plan
would keep In constant training ovs'y
year 900 Young men, who on their grad
uation will be available for reserve OIL
GERS. These graduates, he adds. should
be required to serve az least one year
with the colors with the pay and allow
anoes of second lieutenants.
