Adamson Railroad Legislation as
Blow to Organized Labor.

tiyes today by Representative Bennett
of New York in the opening speech on

Did you see the cartoon in The Star

net, as he raised it in the air before
him. sit depicts a stalwart man in the
costume which we have learned to as
sociate with laboring men. and he is
holding watch on Congress, saying we
must pass this legislation by Saturday
whether it is right or wrong. This is a
shotgun method. and that cartoon is
true"
Representative Bennett said he prob.
ably is the only man is Congress who
had coupled freight cars with his bare
hands. and that he had been put into
public life by labor men.
However" he added, this legisla ton
is the worst blow that can be dealt or
ganized labor. / agree with Gompers
that there are worse things than a
strike. and one is the destruction of the
American system of government"

the movement occurred along the Gu
caracha channel, which was congested
slightly for 200 feet, and impedes

no connection with the Culebra slides,

Organization Widely Read

Many business and professional men
were freely discussing this afternoon
the contents of a letter which thev had
received from David E. Tracy. presi-
Gent OF the Harrisburg Pine and pine
Bending Company. In this letter Mr.,
tracy took up in detail the plans of
the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
Tor a rebuilding of the organization at
TINS time along broader and more rem
resentative lines.
IN the course of his letter Mr.. Tracy
stated that his examination of the di-
rectors plans indicated that the worl,
or the Chamber of Commerce wouId
De systematized through the creation
OF departments; that the funds of the
chamber would be budgeted, and that
other methods would be introduced
which would put the Chamber of Com
merce on sound business basis and
make 1t possible for it to do its work
IN the community in accordance with
the best commercial organization prac-
ttce in the country.
Mr.. Tracy in his letter expressed his
approval of the plans as outlined to
MIN and declared he felt it would be
httle less than a catastrophe for Har-
rlsburg If the Chamber did not have at
least one thousand members following
the installation of the new system.
