All Cars Are Operated by
Harrisburg Citizens

Within the past three weeks few men
from outside Cities have tried to inject them
selves into the transportation situation of
our City, and by so doing have caused good,
honest Harrisburg citizens to lose their jobs
and inconvenienced thousands who daily
rely on the street cars of this company.
The declared purpose of these outsiders
relates only incidentally to wages and hours
of work Demands as to these would ap-
parently be waived if we would conceive the
right of these outsiders to speak for our men.
To accomplish their purpose, they would
deprive between 10000 and 10000 people
proper transportation facilities, and inflict a
heavy loss and injury upon the business of
our City.
This Company believes that it is charged
with a great public duty-a duty to you-
the people of Harrisburg, and to its loyal EN-
ployes, large ma jority of whom will not,
and have not been misled by these outsiders.
We have, and always will meet our en-
ployes individually or collectively, now or
any time, in order to adjust satisfactorily any
difficulties that may arise.
Therefore, we ask you to help us and our
loyal employees Harrisburg citizens) to
compel this outside organization to leave
the operation of the street railways of our
City in the hands of Our loyal employees and
the officers of this Company, who have Sue
cessfully operated the street cars for many
years.
To-day, we are operating practically ali Of
our regular full time cars. No strike-break-
ers are employed. All conductors and mo-
tormen are Harrisburg citizens. Daily
rowdyism, caused for a time by strike SYM
pathizers as we'll as so-called striking en-
ployes, is dying out for the fundamental rea-
son that public sentiment is against it.
And
The passengers carried on our cars are in
creasing at rate that insures our believing

VETS TO ATTEMPT
TO C0l0N|zE OHIO
CTcditable Information Is Had From
New York OF Desperate Means to
be Employed by Liquor Men.

Columbus. o., Dec. 25.-Informa-
ton comes from New York, and from
a source so direct and SO reliable that
II Is given credence, to the effect that
the liquor interests in that city and
throughout the East are already NOV
ing quietly to help their brethren here
in Ohio in the Statewide campaign
next year.
This information which comes from
the wet camp in New York city is that
already the liquor men are in motion
to colonize voters in Ohio. There is
big demand for men in the indus
trial centers of this state, and Eastern
vets are getting Jobs for men in Ohio
who can be relied upon to vote wet.
IL by hook or crook they are permit
ted to vote.
The vets figure on sending into
Ohio within the next few months
thousands Of wet men and getting
them planted In positions which will
keep them here until after next falls
election. Every energy OF the liquor
forces OF the country will be exerted
to keep this State In the wet columns.
That Ohio liquor men are assured
OF outside assistance Is evident from
the air OF satisfaction reported in
liquor centers here. The ''big ones" in
the wet camp say they are better pre-
pared Tor defenSe than ever before
and that they will have an organi-
zation so perfect and money so plen-
tiful that the drys cannot win.
The truth In. the vets are dssper-
ate. They know that here in Ohio
the drys are receiving more encour-
agement than ever before. Ohio vets
have hoisted the distress signal. They
want help. They point out that with
Ohio dry. the nation will soon follow.
This IL the pivotal State. They be-
heve II they can keep 1t wet, It will
mean q new lease OF life In the coun-
try at large.
Evidently. from reports from New
York. this cry of distress Is being an
swered. No doubt the Same response
is being received from other sources
Ohio will be the decisive battle
field OF the nation. The drys OF this
State next year will face the COM
bined wet interests Of all the States.
Since the announcement has been
made that a campaign will be held
next year. splendid cooperation has
been promised the drys from every
county. Every day most encouraging
reports are being received and prof.
fers OF assistance are coming to the
headquarters Of the Ohio Anti-Saioon
League from sources never before
