STATE MAY PAY
FOR MOBILIZATION
Move Under Way For Reim-
burSement For Time in
Penna. Camp

FL Paso, Texas. July 20. - In view
OF the fact that more than 10000
Pennsylvanians, privates in the ranks,
have now been away from their
homes and all means of private income
Tor period little short of a month,
ana in that time have received a total
payment averaging only four dollars
per man, 1t is not unlikely that within
the next few days some of the higher
ofncials will combine their influence in
an effort to have the men receive the
dlnerence between the State and the
Federal pay for the time between their
call to the armories and their muster
ing INTO the United States service.
The success of such a move would
mean much to many of the men here,
ana the company officers believe that
II the State of Pennsylvania can be
prevailed upon to accord what is no
more than mere justice to those of its
citizens, who have committed them
selves to serve their Nation in any cri-
SIS during the next six years, it will be
a great contribution to the morale of
the militia, and at the same time will
serve TO relieve instances of real finan-
clal stress and privation.
Serving his State. a private is en-
titled to S1.50 day, but in the Fed
eral Service he receives but fifty cents
a day. Therefore, the men here aside
from the officers, receive only half a
dollar a day for the time between
June. when they were called to their
armories, and July /, which began an
other fiscal month. Also, they will re-
! Iceive no other pay. unless the State
feels some obligation in the matter,
before the first week in August, when
they will be paid for the month of
July. Men, many of them with fam
lilies at home, who have given up their
positions, cut off from all. means of in
come patriotically to serve their coun-
/ try, will have received during the pay
ing, which has gone on during the last
two or three days, in no instance more
than $3.50.
Feel State Should Pay
Almost unanimously, and their off,
GERS do not disagree with them, they
feel that the great State of Pennsylva-
MIA, in whose name they responded to
the call to the colors, should pay them
for the difference between the Federal
and the State rate for the period they
were under mobilization within the
State.
| OF course, that would mean a dollar
a day per private for more than ten
thousand priVates for a period of nine
days. But, also it would establish a
new standard of public regard for the
State and United States National
Guard, and at the same time it would
create a different and far more whole
some feeling upon the part of the
Pennsylvanians in that Guard.

Federal Intervention in
Garment Strike Asked

Washington, July 20. - President
Wilson to-day received request from
Henry Morgenthau, former ambassa-
dor to Turkey, Cleveland H. Dodge
A. Barton Hepburn and several other
New York men asking that the Fed
eral Government intervene in the
cloakmakers' strike which has been
in progress in New York City for
twelve weeks.
The petition was made on the
ground that the strike threatened the
supply of women's clothing for the
whole nation. Mayor Mitchell, of New
York, is expected to write to Presi.
dent Wilson to-day endorsing the ac-
ton of the businessmen.
The President probably will forward
the request to the Department OF
Labor with instructions that the
Bureau of Cancellation make efforts
to end the strike.

Here is the committee:

If you have an idea on the subject
mail it 10 the committee. care of
Thomas NJ. Kelker, chairman, office of
the city department of parks, before
noon, Monday, July "a.
Various suggestions have already
been made. That the event should be
based on an Indian legend or romance
in which the Susquehanna is rich; that
the historic story of the attempt to
torture John Harris, the trader, should
be produced on a great scale in such
way as to suggest a name for the
event; that an Indian name for water
gather or meeting place of canoeists
be adopted-these are a few of the
ideas.
The general opinion prevails, how
ever, that some name that will be
unique should be picked; like the
"Mardi Gras" of New Orleans, the
"Gasparilla" celebration of Tampa;
the ''Veiled Prophets" of ST. Louis, the
ice Palace" of st. Paul. The Florida
CITY > C6lSDTdllOI is SlSDlu-
cant; it deals with the coming of a
famous pirate.
In addition to selecting the commit
tee on permanent name for the big
navy of canoeists, motorboatmen and
so on, President E. ]. Stackpole also
appointed committees on adoption of a
permanent name for the organization,
on membership and on floating exhi-
bits and cooperation of the business
and commercial interests of the city.
The committees will be enlarged from
time to time at the discretion of each
chairman Incidentally they must all
report at Monday evenings meeting of
the organization.
The other committees follow:
On name for permanent organiza-
ton: Martin Keet. chairman; w. C.
Lutz, George A. Snyder, w. H. With
crow, Gilbert NJ. Owes.
On membership: A. r. Michener,
chairman; c. w. Wolfe, Clarence
