WEST END TRAFFIC
TANGLE PROBLEM
[Continucd From First Pagcl

Third and Broad street section and in
fact throughout the length of Third
street, that the experts now engaged
in the study of the traffic problems
throughout the city will reach some
conclusion which will provide a two
track line in Third street.
Eager TO Solve Problem
Mr.. Arnolds forces have been engag-
ed for more than a month in correct
ing the great street railway difficulties
in Detroit. where the enormous devel-
opment of that city developed condi-
tions which were serious. 1t was only
by most fortunate circumstances that
an opportunity was presented for de-
taching certain of these experts at this
time for n study of the Harrisburg
situation and it is believed that some
definite and satisfactory solution of the
difficulties here will be reached within
a short time.
Officials of the Harrisburg Railways
Company express themselves as more
than anxious to meet the views of the
people and to do everything that Is
possible to improve the service.

PLAN CAMPAIGN
FOR COOPERATION
Local Club to Take Steps to
Spread Get-Togcthcr
Movement

Plans are under way for prolonged
campaign in the interest of the get
together movement among railroad
employees. Back of this activity is the
Friendship and Cooperative Club of
Harrisburg. At the next meeting to be
held on the night of April 10 plans will
be outlined and committees appointed
to take up the work.
AT present there are large organiza-
tions in Harrisburg and Altoona. At
other points on the Pennsylvania rail-
road system there are organizations
working under get-together ideas, but
mot known as cooperative clubs. The
proposition is to have all bodies work
under one name as subordinate
branches and have general offices in
charge.
To Enlist All Railroadcrs
The purpose is to enlist all railroad
men. AS soon as the general oTgani-
zation plans are completed it is under
stood a State charter will be applied
flor. When the charter is assured the
committees will get busy and organize
branches in every city where there is
a railroad center.
Mass meetings will be held as the
opening gun in this movement, and
the plan is to have prominent speakers
from all over the United States address
these meetings Once the plan and
value of a general get-together move
ment is made known the committees
Will take steps to perfectng the sub
ordinate organizations.

CHICAGO. March 2.-Snow and rain in
the southwest, where moisture needed Tor
the winter crop has been lacking. tended
today to ease of the wheat market. Trade

chief sellers. The principal stimulus Tor
buyers came from bullish estimates IN
dicating that farm reserve stocks were
pansed pnnseaH from small deeine opannf to
with May at 1873 to 1881 and July at
1.55A to 1.55N, were followed by
moderate general sag, and then sometnng
of rally.
Lightness Of offerings made corn rela-
lively firm. First trades in tho December
option were made today at 81 to 82, the
highest prices ever known at TINS time
Of the year. The market as whole, after
opening II OFF to 4 up. scored slight
gains all around.
Oats followed wheat rather than corn.
Changes, though, were narrow.
Bullish monthly statistics helped TO
hog market counted also against the
bears.
Subsequently. word of activity by
exporters brought about a more decided

ment that a large American shipping
concern would not arm its vessels. and
instead would transfer them from
European service to sailings for South
America. The close was Arm; to ~
net higher. with May at 1.s4z to 1.s4A
and July at 1.56h to 1861.
Export buying as we'll as fresh high
record prices on hogs encouraged
sharp further corn gains in the late
dealings. May corn touched the top

pathy with the near month strength
