NEW JERSEY COMMUTERS
WILL APPEAL TO U. S. BOARD
Hearing on Application to Set Aside
Increases Sought This week.

Hearing on Application to Set Aside
Increases Sought This week.
New Jersey commuters will make an
appeal to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission this week for hearing on an
application to set aside the increased
commutation rates between points in
New Jersey and Philadelphia. The rates
became effective December Is. in accord
ance with the tariffs filed with the Inter
state Commerce Commission. but were
never passed upon by that body as to
their reasonahleness
As the New Jersey Public Utilities
Commission ordered the intrastate in
creases suspended pending formal hear
ing before IT, the New Jersey commuters
while they are still able to buy tick
cts to Camden at the old rates, are
charged considerably more for tickets to
Philadelphia. As the trains at Camden
go directly to the train shed the com
muters find there lie no need to pay the
additional fare. for they can come to
this city without even paying the three
cent ferry fare.
At the hearing before the New Jersey
commission last week r. J. De Long, of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, declared that
under this practice both the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad and the commuters, who
ride free to Philadelphia, are guilty of
violating the law. II Is to settle this
point that the Interstate Commerce
Commission will be asked to intervene.

Commercial Interests May
Result From Dinner.

The plan to merge the leading trade
mighty central organization, as originally
advanced by Alba B. Johnson, president
of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, may be
carried out as a result of the New Phila-
dclphia Dinner at the Manufacturers
Club, on February 0. At this meeting 500
of Philadelphia's leading manufacturers,
business men and fnanciers formally will
launch movement to advance the city'B
commercial interests.
The unification of the trade bodies
probably will follow as ono of the steps
in the campaign to bring Philadelphia
before the world as the worlds great
est Workshop" In view of the wide
scope OF the movement. 1t is believed
that consolidation of interests will be
most effective.
Ernest T. Trgg. chairman of the COM
mittee arranging the dinner, has called
a special meeting of that body for to-
morrow to determine the form of invita-
tions that will be Issued.
Charles W. Summerheld, secretary of
the Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation, explained today that one of the
aims of the movement will be to have
goods made in Philadelphia sold from
Philadelphia instead of other cities. Phila-
de!pha products, he pointed out, while
they are known all over the world, un-
fortunately are not known as the products
of Philadelphia
1T seems very regretable,' Mr.. Sum-
n1RrfieI1 added. "that so rnany wares
made here are marketed from other cities
Some arrangement must be made to sell
the products of this city to the dis
tributors at first hand right here in Phila-
delphia for shipment direct. At the pres
ent time New York sales agents handle
a great quantity of our goods"
'This movement for exploiting our in
dustrial pre-eminence," he said. mot only
should display Philadelphia as the
worlds greatest workshop, but 1t SHOULD
strive to focus the attention of the
world as well on Philadelphia as mar
ket.
.'Philadelphia's ability to take COM
plete advantage of its opportunities re-
sulting from financial, Industrial and COM
mercial power" Mr.. Summerfeld con-
cluded, ''is not thoroughly understood or
appreciated even by our own people. We
should be more outspoken In praise OF
our greatness Then not only our own
people, but the outside world as well
will begin to realize what Philadelphia
can do and what we stand for"
Acceptances from men invited TO speak
at the dinner continue to arrive, and the
following names have been added to the

Director Zlegler. of the Department OF

bulletin issued today warns the public to
be on guard against penumonia. which
claimed 3060 victims In this city during

Bad ventilation and not cold enables
the disease to thrive, according to the
Health Director who advises fresh air in
unlimited doses. Overeating, he points
out, is also a contributing factor towards
making the body a nesting place for pneu-
monia germs, and while open windows are
urged for sleepers at night, draughts are
warned against in the bulletin.
