Jitney Question Arises
Again to Plague Council

City officials to-day questioned
whether Council will take any hand in
the strike situation insofar as the jit-
ney regulations are concerned. 1t was
pointed out, however, that If any steps
are contemplated, the action would
likely be taken at to-morrow's session
of Council.
That the jitney ordinance may be
suspended legally by action Of
Council during the strike is not
likely, city officials said. An ordinance
of Council has the same effect as an act
of assembly and must either be en-
forced or repealed, as one explained
it. If enforcement of the ordinance
was not insisted upon all the time, the
city would lay itself open to legal COM
plications later by jitneurs who might
raise the question of discrimination.
Intimation was made this afternoon
that Council at its informal conference
late to-day might touch on the jitney
question and it's effect on the strike
situation. Oddly enough Council met
this afternoon to consider the pro-
posed amendments to the traffic regu-
lations as suggested by Chief of Police
Zeil and the Firemen's Union concern
ing the parking of autos and other We
hicles in the business district =.

the heaviest it has been TOR months,
but no accidents were reported.
Automobiles lined the downtown
streets, and service was maintained to
all points.
Men Get to Steelton by Train
The Bethlehem Steel Company off,
cials at Steelton upon learning or the
strike. MADE arrangements at once for
transporting their men by train on
tho Philadelphia and Reading and
Pennsylvania tracks to the Steelton
plant. Trains were run at $50 and
1880 o'clock this morning, and are
scheduled to bring the men back this
evening. About 5000 Harrisburgers
are employed at Steelton.
Telephone service played an I'M
portant part in the situation, as many
Of the people were compelled to re-
arrange their business and cancel en-
gagements.
s. B. Watts, local manager of the
Bell Telephone Company, this morn
ing stated that the strike would have
no effect on the service and that COM
pany trucks would be used to trans
port the operators to and from work.
Additional trucks and automobiles
were hired and placed in service this
morning, and expecting a big increase
in business, girls have been brought
here from other cities to handle the
many calls. The autos furnished for
the operators are running on schedules
from the building.

WILSON SIGNS
RURAL CREDITS
Makes Short Address Before
Putting Signature to Bill Pro-
viding Twelve Loan Banks

Washington, July II. - President
Wilson to-day signed the rural credits
bill passed recently by Congress. A
group of Senators, representatives and
officers of farmers organizations ap-
plauded warmly as Mr.. Wilson affixed
his signature.
Just before signing the measure,
" hich creates system or twelve land
loan banks under direction OF a Fed
eral board the President made a short
address, pointing out the benefits he
believed both farmers and the invest
tis community would enjoy under it's
operation.
"on occasions of this sort" said the
President, there are so many things
to say that one would despair of say
ing them briefly and adequately but
cannot go through the simple cere-
mony of signing this bill without ex-
pressing the feeling that I have in
signing it. 1t is feeling of profound
satisfaction not only but of real
gratitude that we have completed this
viii be immensely beneflcial to the
farmers of the country.
Been at DISADVANTAGE
"The farmers, it seems to me, have
occupied hitherto a singular position
Of disadvantage. they have not had
the same freedom to get credit on
their real estate that others have had
who were in manufacturing and COM
mercial enterprises and while they
have sustained our life they did not
in the same degree with some others
share in the benefits of that life.
Therefore this bill along with the
very liberal provisions of the Federal
Reserve Act puts them upon an
equality with all others who have
genuine assets and makes the great
credit of the country available to
them. One cannot but feel that this
is delayed justice to them, and can
not but feel that it is a very gratifying
thing to play any part in doing this
act of justice. I look forward to the
benefits of this bill not with extrava-
CANT expectations. but with confident
expectation that 1t will be of very wide
reaching benefits and incidentally, 1t
will be of advantage to the investing

opinion written by Commissioner
Magee ordered the Connellsville Water
Company to make fiat rate for R. V.
Rendine, a barber, who complained
that he had been, required to install
a meter when all other consumers
were not required to do so. The
opinion finds that 72S pay according
to measured service and 2,297 by fiat
tate, the company having no pro-
ncunced policy of favor toward the
complete metering of it's system" The
rate is to be according to the number
of chairs in the shop and as to an
alleged unused chair the complainant
must either remove it or pay as the
presence of a chair raises the pre-
sumption of use.

coTToNsEED MEAL BRANDED.
Manufacturers and Shippers Warned
That Stock Feed Must be Labeled.

The discovery of interstate ship
ments of gnisbranded cottonseed meal
has led the United States department
drug inspectors to be on the lookout
for cottonseed meal the labels Of which
overstate the amount of protein con-
tent. Investigation shows that much
Of the misbranded meal is made from
de-tinted cottonseed. The practice of
de-hnting seed has recently become
more general owing to the fact that
the lint thus removed, ordinarily of
little value, now commands a high
price for the manufacture of NUM-
tons. Some Of the manufacturers it
is found, although the meal is differ
ent, are using the old labels, whereas
She product may contain less protein,
the most important feeding element in
this Concentrate
The department states that several
cases based on mishranding of cotton
seed meal are now pending ard that
evidence of other violations is now be-
inc prepared for transmission to the
department of justice. Notification is
given that action under the law will
be taken in all such eases and state
officials have been requested to CO.
operate in stamping out the fraudu-
lent practice. Brokers and shippers
other than manufacturers can protect
/ themselves from prosecution by re-
curing manufacturers to give them
written guarantees in accordance with
the provisions of the food and drugs
act that the meal is not aduterated or
miSbranded.

WRONG ASSESSMENTS.

In Hazelton, Pa, the school board is
at odds with coal company, which IS
asking the board $1,000 for a tvs
acre plot as a site for a new school
The land is assessed at $50. The
school board is willing to pay $1,000
for it, but considers twice that sum as
exorbitant.
The Graphic doesn't believe in as
sessing $1,000 lots at $50. The lot
in question should be assessed at the
figures demanded by the company
owning it. This would not only bring
down the price, but would force the
owners to pay their share of taxes,
and not force home owners and in
dustry to carry nine-tenths of the bur
den, as they are doing almost every
where.
This is equitable and legal and no
body except those who insist on hav-
ing something for nothing can object.
