FOOD ENOUGH
TO LAST MONTH
Dealers Say Commodities Will
Be Scarce After That
Length of Time

Harrisburg's food dealers, facing a
railroad strike, with embargoes on all
shipments by rail, began taking stock
yesterday and to-day and announced
that the city supply will probably last
for a month, although at the end of
that time commodities will be scarce
Much of the local supply of pro-
visions in that time would have to be
furnished by growers in the county, as
this is the time of year that vegetables
and fruits on hand would not supply
the demand for more than week.
Fears of food shortage were ex-
pressed in the city. particularly be-
cause of the embargo.
Local milk dealers are planning to
bring the supply from Cumberland
and Lebanon valleys by auto truck and
trolley and expect to be able to keep
up the present supply indefinitely by

Statements of brotherhood leaders
that if the eight-hour law is passed
by Saturday night the strike order
will be rescinded, led the President
to redouble his efforts to have the
measure rushed.
Will Probably Be Prevented
Out of that, out of proposals to
have Congress pass a resolution ask
ing the men to delay and out of many
other indications coming from the
very inside of the situation, there
came again the indefinable intima-
ton that the strike could be pre-
vented If Congress by Saturday night
has not actually enacted the Presi-
dents program, but has it on the way.
Back of it all, President Wilson was
holding another card-a direct appeal
to the rank and file of the railroad
men to realize that Congress is about
to give them what they ask and to
stay at their posts.
The President was still determined
to-day to do this, if necessary, but
was hopeful that it would not be.
House Gets Into Action
While the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee was hearing the rail-
road heads and the brotherhood lead
ers the House managers got into action
and agreed on a bill, introduced by
Representative Adamson and ap-
proved by President Wilson, providing
the eight-hour day. pro rata pay for
overtime ana a commission to investi-
gate the new conditions. They plan
ned to rush it through while the Sen
ate was working. 1t did not include
the compulsory investigation features
of the Presidents program but there
were indications that he would be
satisfied with enough to prevent the
men from striking and take up the re-
mander later.

Plea For Peace
By Cooperation

( find program for relations between

principles of enlightened relations be-
tween men.
Il am convinced that the United
States is due for some business reac-
ton, even though the rivalry in arm
aments were made necessary, but II
the expenses Of rivalry In ornaments
could be materially decreased, the re-
action might be kept within such
bounds that we might reasonably meet
1t. So the business prosperity .of
America demands that we do not
pass by on the other side" but that
we take a constructively helpful attt
tude In helping the world make war
less probable and peace more lasting.
There is not right thinking man
in America who would not be willing
% make sacrifices If he thought there
by he could make more lasting the
peace Of the world. But the average
man is at loss for concrete pro-
gram, II the average American could
become convinced as to what is the
next practical and possible step for
ward in the substitution of law for
war, there would be no question about
his support of the proposal. The best
practical thinking OF the world, as we'll
as the accumulated experience of his
tory, indicates that the only method
by which peace may be made more
secure is by substituting law for war
among nations just as we have sub
stituted law for war among indivi
