For several years the members of or
gsnired labor in this state have been
under the impression that they were pro
tected in labor disputes by the law en-
acted in 1911, known as the False Ad-
vertising Act-Prevention Of" the in
tent OF which was to prevent the adver-
tising for strikebreakers without insert
ing in said ad the fact that there was
strike on. Our minds were disabused
of this fact the past week, so far as Sc
curing the enforcement of this law Is
concerned, when We attempted to file In
formation against two firms of this city
which had advertised for help to take
the place Of their employees who have
been on strike for better working con-
ditions, and the recognition of their
union.
District Attorney Sidesteps.
Tho district attorneys office refused
to allow an information to be filed un-
der the provisions of this law. after ab-
solute proof had been secured that the
law, as we thought, had been violated.
The reason given for refusing to file
complaints under the law was: that the
advertising for help, and not stating In
said advertisement that there was a
strike on. did not constitute an offense
under the law; that If people were
brought into the state thru advertise
mcnt then only could information be
filed under this law,

Chicago, June Z. - New York Re-
puhlicans supporting Justice Hughes
said to-day that they were informed
from reliable sources two days ago
that under no circumstances would
Colonel Roosevelt support Justice

A report that Colonel Roosevelt had
said in Oyster Bay that he would favor

the Republican nominee brought forth
the statement from the Hughes men.
Governor Whitman, leader of the

There is no geographic modification

Harding. Senator Harding touched on
the Mexican situation eXtendedly, to
the apparent approval of the conven-
ton. as he scored the Democratic ad-
ministration policy step by step. There
was a wave of laughter as he declared
the administration had first coddled
Villa as patriot and then chased him
as a bandit" History will write
Mexico" as the title to the greatest
iasco in the history of our foreign re-
lations, said he, and then referred to
the situation as one Of 'watchful wait
ing and wobbling warfare" That
brought a roar of laughter.
Glad to Be Republicans
Mr.. Harding declared American be-
gins at home and radiates abroad. "
He referred to the manuscript for the
closing words of his speech and the
convention, realizing he was closing,
listened intently and then broke into a
great applause as he closed with the
words And we may rejoice to be Re-
publiCans" The delegates arose and
applauded and cheered for a few sec
onds and then resumed their seats.
The recommendations for tempo
rary officers were read.
Former Governor Eberhart of Min

tions be adopted. Chairman Harding
put the question. There was no oppo-
sition.

CITY PLANNING

President Edwin S. Herman, of
Planning Commission, Tells
Lancaster About 1t

How Harrisburg is working out its
city planning problems was interest
ingly told last evening by President
Edwin S. Herman, of the City Plan
ming Commission, at an informal din
ner given by the Chamber of Com
merce of Lancaster. at which Mr.. Her
man and several other well-known
members of the Harrisburg Chamber
of Commerce were guests.
Thirty-five or more prominent busi-
ness men of the Lancaster Chamber
attended and the guests in addition to
Mr.. Herman were ]. William Bowman
and E. S. McColgin, president and
secretary of the local Chamber; Hen
derson Gilbert and H. A. Bowman, of
this city, and John +. Lathrop, director
of the National City Planning Com
mission, of New York. The dinner
was held for the purpose of boosting
Lancasters city planning program.
In explaining how Harrisburg did
it President Herman told of the great
work performed here along the lines
of the city Improvements and said that
even those who objected most when
the matter was at first proposed are
now among the most enthusiastic for
its advancement to other parts of the
city. He told of the way in which no
building contract will be approved
unless the building is located far
enough back from the property line to
meet the modern requirements with
respect to light and air. He also said
that there would be no more houses
built on the property lines in alleys
in the Capital City. The alleys are
twenty feet wide. the houses must he
at least twenty feet from the property
line each side, and that preserves all
of the time space of sixty feet so that
there is no congestion of anY kind

Friends of Colonel Believe
He Will Become Candidate
if Hughes Is Nominated
By Associated Press

Oyster Bay, June Z. While Col
Roosevelt refrains from making any
public statement officially disclosing
his real attitude toward the political
situation in Chicago, it is well known
to his intimates here that he is op-
posed to the nomination of Justice
Hughes and it is their confident belief
that If Justice Hughes is nominated
Colonel Roosevelt will himself be-
come a candidate.
Colonel Roosevelt, it is we'll under
stood, is not at all satisfied with
Justice Hughes so-called flag
speech" which he is said to regard as
merely Fourth of July address hav-
ing no value as disclosing the Justices
attitude toward the real issues of the
day. In the words of his followers
here, the Colonel regards the speech
as further evidence OF pussyfooting.
Colonel Roosevelt it is known feels
better to-day in regard to his own
chances of being nominated than anv
other. His followers look for a broad
side from him within a day or two
which they say will be calculated to
eliminate Justice Hughes and any
other candidate whom the Colonel re-
CARDS as representing the "pussyfoot
idea" The Colonel feels, they saw,
that If the Republicans have made
up their minds to nominate a man
representing this idea, the one thing
left for him to do is to run himself in
order to bring before the people the
issue of straight forward American
ISM"
Although Colonel Roosevelt and one
of his secretaries remained a good
part of last night at this end of the
private telephone wire between Saga
more Hill and the Progressive party
headquarters in Chicago, the Colonel
sale this morning there was no state
ment he cared to make. except to re-
peat that he was neither for nor
against any candidate"
Only the most trusted of the Col
orers counsellors are permitted to
talk over the wire, which is guarded
by employees of the telephone COM
pany all along the line TO prevent pos
sibility Of leak.
