Engine Co. to Move From
Quincy to Chambersburg

Chambersbure, Pa, Feb. 21.--Quiu-
this afternoon and decided to move
the plant from Quincy to Chambers
burg. An option had been secured on
the large thre-story L-shaped brick
shops in Third street, formerly occu-
pied by the Wood company and there
the growing and spreading concern
will be housed.
The chamber of commerce raised
fund of $4,000 to pay for the expense
of removal. The main product of the
company is on air compressor for
drilling but gasoline engines are also
made in large numbers. The company
employs hundred hands and wants
TO enlarge, which is the main reason
for moving.

tendent of detectives, said this morn
ing that his men are working steadily
on the cases which have been reported
to them by Fire Chief John G. Kinder,
but that so far the fires in the three
school buildings and those of yester-
day morning have the department
baffled.
The flames yesterday were started in
tho three stables near Fifteenth and
Derry by applying matches TO large
bundles of oil-soaked waste. The plan
is similar to the one used In firing the
Shimmell. Vernon and Forney school
buildings, the authorities say.
Five fires were reported within five
hours, beginning late Saturday night
and at least four of them are believed
to have been started by an incendiary.
The first fire was discovered in boz
car on a siding of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway at Ninth and Market
streets shortly after II o'clock Sat
urday night. but the car and most OF
its contents were destroyed before the
firemen arrived.
Scarcely half an hour later the fire.
men were called out to fight a blaze in
the LangletZ lumber yard at Cam
here was slight. The flames had
started in two places and some of the
lumber was soaked with oil. The next
fire was discovered by Charles Barn
hart, dairyman at 1880 Derry street,
who found a large bundle of oil-soaked
waste burning in his stable in Thomp-
son street. The door had been broken
open and while Mr.. Barnhart was eX-
tinguishing The burning waste he saw
flames in the adjoining stable, owned
by Mrs Annie Kichman, The fire
companies were again called out. but
had the fire under control before any
serious damage had resulted. During
the investigation in the stable owned
by Mrs. Kichman another large bundle
of burned waste was found
Fl. b. Stamm, of Fifteenth and
Derry streets, awakened by the clatter
of the fire apparatus, then began "a
tour of inspection on his premises and
as he entered his stable found a bundle
of oil-soaked waste, but the match had
not ignited it, and Mr.. Stamm believes
that the incendiary was frightened
away before he succeeded in starting
the fire.

RAILROAD RUMBLES
WAGE DEMAND IS
NO SMALL MATTER
Railway Gazette Claims 1t Is
Fight Between Employees
and Public

The controversy between the rail-
ways and their train service employees
over "the demand for 100000, 900 a
year increase in wages" otherwise the
demand for an eight-hour day, is no
ordinary struggle between capital and
labor. says the Railway Age Gazette
in an editorial in its current issue. I'm
directly" the Gazette says:
1T is a struggle between the 20 per
cent. of railway employees, who are the
highest paid workingmen in America,
and that so per cent. of railway en-
ployes and OF the public who are not
as we'll paid.
'If the proposed increases in wages
are made, either they will be or they
will not be Offset by increases in rates
To the extent that they are not thus
Offset they will make it extremely diff
ficult, or even impossible. for the rail-
ways for years to come to increase the
wages of their other employees. To the
extent that they are offset by in
creases in passenger and freight rates
the consuming public will pay them"
The average pay OF the 100000 train
service employees who are demanding
an increase, the Railway Age Gazette
shows. from the Interstate Commerce
Commission statistics in 1914, was
$1,253.73 a year, while that of the L.
3S1 900 other employees was only $6S4.7S.
The average earning for the year of the
train service employees were as fol-
lows:

Discharge Drinkers

Mr.. Carl quoted from the reply to
the investigation filed by the Harris
burg Pipe and Pipe Bending Works.
which in effect was that this company
mercilessly discharges any man who
comes to work under the influence of
liquor.
Mr. Carl pointed out that big Bust
ness is in the fight on rum not be-
cause of any moral or religious prin-
ciples, but because of the economic
losses which result from employing
drinking men. Nearly every one of the
steel producing concerns declared in
their replies that they favor total alb
stalners at all times in considering
promotions and that the drinking man
gets little consideration because of his
inevitable inefficiency.
The Rev. Harvey Klaer, pastor of
Covenant Presbyterian Church, told
his congregation yesterday of the ac-
tivities of the No-License League, of
which he is president, in its fight on
the saloon in Harrisburg, the results
of which are being brought to light in
