Temper of Crowds, Particu-

Copenhagen, April IS. - The number
of strikers in Berlin is placed in even
the semi i-official report at 125.000. and
is distributed, according to the Tage-
blatt. through machine works. some
electrical establishments and part of the

Gold Mining Industry
Not Affected by War

Capetown, April .g.-The gold min
ing industry is almost the only one
which has enjoyed freedom from in
terruption owing to the war. This
is accounted for in a summary pre-
pared by the Transvaal Chamber of
Commerce as due to "the national i'm
portance and the essential nature of
the industry both through the neces-
sity of its products to the Imperial
Government and the fact that its dis
continuance would mean a chaotic
condition of affairs in South Africa"
Since the beginning of the war.
South Africa has produced 00,000,-
600 pounds sterling in gold. Twenty
per cent. of the white employees have
voluntarily gone on active service, and
the extra financial burdens imposed
by the war on the gold mining in
dustry are estimated at 100000
pounds a year. Dividends last year
were about 100000 pounds less than
in 1914, although the production was
100000 pounds sterling greater.

WOULD REPRESENT
EVERY CITY WARD
Beidleman Working Hard to
Get Single Council Bill
Through

In view of the very general dissatis-
faction regarding the commission form
of government, Senator Beidleman is
going to do his utmost to secure the
enactment of his bill providing for a
single council of one representative
from each ward in cities. of the third
class. He says many persons have
spoken to him in advocacy of such a
change and he feels that single coun-
Gil thus constituted would overcome in
a large measure the unsatisfactory re-
suits of the present plan.
He believes also that the mayor
should have the power to veto and
that public interest in municipal ad-
ministration would follow the organi-
zation of a council along the lines pro-
posed in the measure which he has
introduced. 1t is quite certain, he
thinks, that the people of Harrisburg
will hail with real pleasure almost any
change from the present demoralized
and chaotic scheme of government
1.-The commission form simply in
duces a lot of men to run for the sal
airy instead of the service which they
can render the city," said prominent
citizen to-day. These members or
council elected for two years find
themselves in the very nature of the
case thrown into campaign for re-
election almost as soon as they take
office, which is an unfortunate sequel
of the commission scheme.
Senator Beidleman said to-day he
would do everything in his power to
push along the bill. providing for a
single council and while it will un-
doubtedly meet hard shedding in some
quarters, it will have support in 9TH
ers. The Senator is not impressed
with the suggestion that it might be
we'll to allow the commission scheme
to have a further trial before throw
ing it into the discard.

ROTARY CLUB WILL
BOOST BOY SCOUTS
Preliminary Plans For Cam
paign Outlined; Many Or
ganizationS Interested

Preliminary plans for the Boy Scout
campaign were outlined by President
Howard c. Fry at a meeting of the
Rotary Club at. Cotterers store on
Market Square last evening. The club
has guaranteed the expenses of the
campaign by which it is hoped to
raise at least S12, 900 to put the Scout
movement on a firm financial basis
in Harrisburg for the next three years.
Headquarters will be established at
"a North Third street and will be in
charge of Lewis Buddy, National
Field Commissioner of the Boy Scouts
of America, and one of the best-known
workers among boys in the United
States. The Rotary Club will not be
the only society interested in the cam
paign. 1t has simply guaranteed pay
ment of all expenses, but many other
organizations already have signified
their intention of assisting and there
is every indication that the movement
will be entirely successful. George w.
Reilly will be the treasurer.
President Fry explained that there
is now no distinctly boy work being
done in Harrisburg, the seven Scout
troops of the city now operating to a
large degree independently of each
other. The plan is to unite the move
ment under one executive and to
draw as many boys as possible into
the uplifting influences of the Scout
organizations. He said he felt the Ro-
tary Club could interest itself in no
better work.
The idea of the campaign is that if
the Scouts are firmly established for
three years, there never will be any
question as to the permanency of the
organization here.
The addresses of the evening were
made by W COttprel ard
Eppley, who is in charge of the metal
cabinet section of the Cotterel store.
Mr.. Eppley explained at length the
process of construction and the advan-
tages of this means of safeguarding
