All Harrisburg Schools
Closed Until October 2

Public schools of the city will not be
reopened until Monday, October in
order to minimize the risk of a spread
of infantile paralysis.
The school board in regular session
this afternoon fixed that date by
adopting the recommendation of City
superintendent f. L. Downes to that
effect. DIR. Downes' recommendations
were made in accordance with the re-
cent order of State Health Commits
sioner Samuel Dixon.
In making his recommendations DR.
Downes points out that only small
proportion of the pupils in the ele-
mentary schools are sixteen or over.
while in the high schools most of the
students are over sixteen.
The school committee made no re-
port on the new high school problem
as this matter Will not be referred to
the directorate until several more
meetings with the citizens commit
tee are held.

Is Prepared to Feed
Harrisburg For Three
Months, Says Hibler

so far as the packinghouse end
of it is concerned we are prepared to
feed Harrisburg in the event of a rail-
road strike for three full months at
least even if not another piece of
goods or head of stock were shipped
into our plant here" said c. A. Hib-
Ter of Swift & Co.. to-day.
Few people know it," he con-
tinued, but our normal stock on hand
is from one to two million pounds con-
stantly. This is a shipping point for
the whole coast and consequently If
our shipments were cut off we would
have more than enough to care for
any local wants. In addition we have
anticipated possibilities and have laid
in an additional supply and our yards
are crowded with several hundred
head of cattle beside the meat in
storage. There is absolutely no dan
ger. Swift and Company are looking
after their Harrisburg trade and are
prepared to meet any conditions"

Acting for and in behalf of the

as follows:
Whereas. The City Council has

Hasty Strike Legislation

A resolution urging the President
and members of Congress to carefully
consider pending legislation aimed at
prevention of the railroad strike, was
passed by the board of directors of the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
this morning.
Copies were wired President Will
son. Senators Penrose and Oliver and
to Congressman Aaron S. Kreider.
The resolution reads:
The Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce deems 1t utterly inconsistent
with the principles of our government
and against the best interests of our
people that legislation in the pending
railroad crisis should be passed hur-
riedly and. without time and oppor-
tunity for proper consideration of the
many complex questions involved.
We protest against any legislation
that does not safeguard the principle
of arbitration of all questions invoIv-
ing wages and employment.

to draft it. No serious opposition
to the administration plan was ex-

Senator LaFollette, quitting the po-

the Capitol to-day to take a hand in

Democratic leaders, however, do not

gram would go through in time.
President Wilson told members of

there was every prospect that the leg
islation would be passed by both
Houses of Congress before tomorrow

Representative Caldwell, of New
York; Borland, of Missouri, and Ra-
