for solicitations.
Mr.. Montgomery explained to the
club the necessity of giving the men
at the front and in the canton
ments opportunity for study and di-
version through the medium of good
books. He described the library
buildings that will be erected at the
big camps and said he believed they
will be permanent. for the reason
that America will never again per-
init herself to be caught unprepared.
Good books. properly housed and to
be had free by the soldiers will be
placed in every cantonment and the
same kind of library facilities ex-
tended to France as the troops go
over, he said. One dollar will pro-
vide reading matter and library
service for one soldier for three
years, the librarians figure. His ad-
dress was enthusiastically received
and the Rotarians, aside from their
own contributions agreed to do mis-
sionary work for the cause among
their friends.
The club decided last night to go
by motor, with their wives as guests,
to the Berkshire Country Club. at

SOLDIERS NEED
TOBACCO TOQUIET
THEIR NERVES
And 1t Is Impossible to Get
the Good Old American
Brands in France

The people of Harrisburg and vi
cinity are responding nobly to the
call for funds, which the Telegraph
is making. to buy smokes for SOL
diers.
The men need the smokes to
steady their nerves and to fill up the
long hours of suspense. There is no
tobacco quite like the good old weed
that is raised in the United States.
and the soldiers in France can not
walk up to man and get the smoke
merely by saying. Mister have you
got the makin's?"
A package OF smokes such as is
being forwarded to the boys will
last one soldier for one week and
one quarter of q dollar will buy one
package. .-..--
Even those who do not use to-
bacco realize the necessity of the
fund. One contributor writes, Here
in find check for smokes for my old
chums who used TO smoke against
my solemn warnings. They need
cheering more now than solemn
warnings"
If a message of thanks is wanted
from the soldier who receives a pack
age the name and address must be
plainly written, and given with the
contribution.
The list up to date is as follows:

Charles A. Dunham. of St. Paul. de-
clared yesterday in his annual ad-

that the armies of our enemies have

The convention adopted revised

board, considered postponing his
trip to the coast until he could con-
Ter with the general manager of the
Seattle company due to arrive here
tomorrow. Mr.. Hurley had planned

The suggestion of federal con-

on the basis of the Mare Island wage
scale, recently increased about ten
per cent, was not received favor
ably by officials of the metal trades

that the Mare Island scale was based
on rates in commercial plants about
San Francisco and was considered
too low. International officers of
the federation expressed the opinion
that the San Francisco dispute could
not be settled before the Seattle sit

Mr.. Hurley and Samuel Gompers

Transportation Needs
Harry A. Wheeler. of Chicago, who

of the war. The next steps in regu-

corporation and federal regulation
of the issuance of securities. The
national government, he said, will
gradually absorb the functions of
state railroad commissions.

money for war purposes will make
