promptly at 6 o'clock on the Penn
sylvania railroad as night track
walker. John works hard all day on
the little acres of the farm. On re-
turning in the morning and after
eating the breakfast John had pre-
pared for him, 1t has been the custom
this summer for Joe to help his
brother work in the fields.
The brothers have two horses to
aid them in tilling the acres on the
summit of the ridge. Several pigs are
seen in their styes and everything
about bespeaks thrift.
The two men live in a one-room
cabin. Two little cots are found at
opposite sides of one end of the room
and stove in the other furnishes the
double purpose of furnishing warmth
and heat for cooking purposes. A
large dog, of doubtful pedigree, lies
at the doorstep and playfully jumps
at you as you approach. Four kit
tens play about in the house, and
this is where Joe and John Fundine,
about AZ and 40 years, respectively,
live and work.
This is the place and these are the
defenseless men whom two Ameri-
cans-they were Americans for their
talk was easily distinguishable-
sought to rob on Friday evening.
They apparently knew the customs
of the brothers well, for they timed
their visit so that they would en-
counter but one of them at home.
Public sympathy has been aroused
for these men, sympathy that is de-
manding that Rye township and
county authorities make some effort
to trace the assailants of John Fun
dine to earth. Clues are visible here,
according to those who have inter-
ested themselves in the case of the
brothers.
At first it was not believed that the
robbers secured any plunder When
Joe was seen at the little mountain
cabin on Saturday, he made the
statement that three dollars and
some odd cents had been taken from
pocketbook belonging to John, who
was shot. He added that when he
returned to his little home at 2
o'clock on Saturday morning, after
taking his brother to the Harrisburg
Hospital, he saw light in the cabin
through the cornfield as he approach
ed. This light had disappeared when
he came to the house. This incident
is to puzzling, local interested ones

BILLION PROFIT FOR RAILROADS.
l. C. c. Report Shows Immense Net
Earnings for 1916.

The railroads of this country have a
net income of Sl,O9S, 900 for the year
1916. This estimate of profits is con-
servative, as it makes no allowance for
normal increase in business during the
last three months of the year.
The above statement has been issued
by the interstate commerce commission
and is in striking contrast TO the pow
erty pleas of railroads and the dear
public sobs of certain newspapers last
summer when railroad train service men
We're demanding an eight-hour day.
The commission makes the significant
statement that expenses have not kept
pace with the rapid rise in receipts, as
the latter increased approximately 2S
per cent, while the expenses increased
about II per cent. Compared with pre-
vious earnings, the profits of 1916 show
an increase OF more than SO per cent

says President Ripley, we feel that
they are already getting enough for their
services; these other unorganized men
are not. 1t is an emergency measure
adopted to meet unusual conditions But
if the Santa Fc cannot afford to give its
trainmen an cighthour day, how can it
afford to dishurso 2,75o,0oo to its cheap
laborf Is the emergency the fear that
they also will organize and demand the

are they underpaid. while the organized

SAYS CHURCHES ARE CHANGING
Coming Around to Labor's View of
Social Justice.

In an address to the Kansas City
central labor body Professor Harry +.
Ward of Boston, secretary of the Meth
odist Federation for Social Service, said
Labor unions are neglecting their own
interests by failure to keep informed
on changes taking place in the churches.
You know what has happened in the
last few years in the political world.
The old leaders have been deposed and
their places taken by new generation
with entirely new political creeds The
same thing is happening in the religious
world. The old leaders are passing out
and the new ones are changing the whole
emphasis OF religious teaching.
1T is a change from the world of the.
ory TO the world of practice and the
church leaders and teachers hencefortn
are not going TO be blind to the signi-
ficance OF the labor movement This
means that YOU are going to have n new
ally in the struggle for social justice"
