Contractors Losses Heavy
The ash and garbage collection will
be back on schedule time next Mon
day, to-day declared Samuel Gardner,
president of the Pennsylvania Reduc-
ton Company, in an interview with
the Telegraph.
Mr.. Gardner said that unless some
thing unforeseen happens there, is no
reason why the company's collectors
cannot. keep to their schedule from
that time on.
"Ill tell you straight" declared Mr..
Gardner with vigorous pound on his
desk, lit would be a .stunner' if the
people. knew what we've lost It's
been losing proposition from the be-
ginning. And, then, we have between
four and five thousand more houses in
the city to-day than we had ten years
ago. Why, sir, [ wouldn't take the
contract to-day for $4,000, and when
you Keep in mind that under the pres
ent agreement we are receiving $31, 500
yearly. you can easily figure what our
loss is.''
Would Welcome Survey
Mr.. Gardner said that he would well
come a fair and impartial survey of
the entire situation by a competent
investigator. Let us have it by all
means. The people would learn some
thing greatly to their advantage Be
lieve me, they would be astounded;
and when anyone is shocked, you
know, he sits up, takes notice, and
gets busy"
Mr.. Gardner said that there are
three big factors entering into the
speedy collection of ashes. "Fhe first
is the labor situation" said the re-
duction company head. I'VE treat our
men right, but we cannot keep them
when they can get equally as good pay
elsewhere. The second big factor is the
weather. | don't believe the average
person realizes how utterly impossible
1T is to keep up with the schedule
! when we have such weather as we
have had this month. But the worst
trouble maker for us is the failure OF
the great majority of the people of
this city to fulfill their part of the con-
tract What | mean is simply this
there is an ordinance which provides
that the householder must place his
ashes garbage or other refuge in uni
form cans or buckets, with handles
and properly covered, and that loose
paper or other\ light material mus
be securely tied Or packed. Now, sir
there are just about ten people out o!
every hundred that are doing that
The other ninety have not been doing
it, and will not do it. Ashes are pu,

freezes, which makes it almost i'm
possible to empty them. We hav,
been forced still further off our sched
ule by weather and labor conditions
and, to prevent trouble. we have beer
taking ashes away regardless of tn
receptables into which they have bee
dumped"
Mr.. Gardner said if everybody woul.
provide himself with a uniform ca
with a cover the ashes would be re
moved in half the time it takes nov
and this would permit the collector,
to keep to ther schedule.

u. s. CONFRONTED
BY ARMED SHIP
QUESTION AGAIN
That and Submarine Issue
Now Before State De-
partment

Washington, Jan. 30.-The sea war
fare of the European struggle again
confronts tie United States with a
serious threat of grave complications.
Following a declaration by Secretary
of State Lansing that the entire dis
puted question of armed merchant
vessels and the use of submarines is
once more before the State Depart
ment for consideration, the following
developments became apparent:
The United States will ask Great
Britain to state clearly her intentions
as to further increasing the armament
of merchant vessels, including trans
Atlantic liners.
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin was
requested to furnish promptly q state
ment of the facts in the Yarrowdale
case and of the status of three Amer
leans known to be among the crew
of the Yarrowdale, and held by the
German government as prisoners of
war because they served on an armed
belligerent ship.
The United States maintains it's at
titude as to armed merchant vessels.
that no matter what armament q ship
may carry, she may not be considered
war vessel unless she uses her guns
for definite aggressive" action.
The recurrence of tie naval con-
troversy, which has been q source of
anxiety to the United States since the
beginning of the European war, grew
out of two immediate causes. Anthem
tic reports that Great Britain plans
to mount fore and aft guns on all
transatlantic liners, dismounting all
but one stern gun at Halifax, before
bringing the vessels to the United
States, came from British sources.
From Teutonic diplomats came en-
phatic statements that ships thus
armed would be looked upon as
auxiliary warskips and would be sunk
by submarines on sight.

Report Attracts Attention. - The

have been loading cars on sidings from
wagons and hearings were held this
month. The report of the commission
says that the testimony produced fails
to show any good cause why the
carrier should be allowed to make the
proposed amendment to its tariffs eff
fective on less than the full statutory
notice or in any other manner than

had asked the right to make the
change on short notice.

In the good old pioneer days of this
country, when drug stores were few,
grancmother's' root and herb reme-
dies were what were always depend
ed upon to bring relief for family all

root and herb remedies are now
found upon the shelves of the modern

and most widely used prepared medi
cines.
Such is Lydia L. ,Pfnkham's Nege-
