COMPENSATION
MEASURES UP
Plans to Get Them Before the
House of Representatives
Next Monday Night

The bills carrying amendments to
the compensation system, which
have been a bone of contention in
the House of Representatives along
with the full crew bill. will be called
up in the House on Monday night.
Reading, president of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor, plans tc ask action
and has been assured of support
from many memuers.
The claims of the hackers of the
amendments to recognition were
fohcibly presented to the House late
yesterday. Mr.. Maurer. in speaking
about the bills, gave a history of the
efforts to get action OH them. He
said, in part:
1T appears up until January or
February we got along very nicely.
1t was agreed that the adminis-
tration would go along with these
amendments. MIR. Mackey, who since
has repudiated his part of the agree
nlent at that time. however, was
quite agreeble himself to the amend
ments that are In the Woodward bill
now. Now this act of ours has been
drawn by the attorney of the Com
pensation Board. Mr.. Bohlen, and,
as you people know, it has been on
the floor here for some time and
nothing was done with it. For har-
mony's sake we left that go. / had
a conference with the Governor and
tried to get him to make the Com
pensation Board come clean with
us; instead of that Mr.. Mackey sent
out the information through the
mails that we all got pointing that
he had nothing to do with the bill.
We stood for all OF that and kept
quiet. Now the bill comes on the
calendar after weeks spent here in
trying to get 1t out of the House
committee. For weeks Il was in the
committee. 1t has for the last three
days been bill No. II, lying here on
the third reading calendar, and we
have had no third reading bills for
the last few days. They picked out
Senate bills. you have been acting on
Senate bills when we know next
week we would have lots of time to
pass on Senate bills. The gentleman
over there have been picking a bill
out here and there and we agreed
t. go along with them; we left that
go. Now we have been reasonably
believing that you, in spirit of fair
ness, would say the compensation
hill will get a chance before this
House. Now If you will make a
special order of these amendments,
/ will agree to go along with your
special order; If you have this reso-
luton amended to read that we will
make a special order of business for
the Woodward bill next Monday
night.

CANNING EXPERTS
TO DEMONSTRATE.
Farm Agent Niesley Engages
State College Outfit For
Dauphin County

Mechanicsburg. June %. =, Farm
Agent Niesley, of Dauphin county,
was at Silver Spring Presbyterian
Church Wednesday afternoon ar
ranging with representatives of, State
College to have a series of canning
and preserving demonstrations given
for the benefit of Harrisburg women
and the farm women, of Dauphin
county in general early next month.
More than 200 women from the vi
cinity of Silver Spring Church at
tended the demonstration, given in
the chapel of that church Wednes-
day by Miss Pitman, a State Coll
lege expert. who is making tour
of the county under the direction Of
DIR. H. II. Longsdorf, one of the State
Safety Committee, chairman of
Cumberland county, who has done
much to encourage increased plaut-
ing this year. s
Miss Pitman exhibited the latest
methods of preserving and canning
at the least cost of labor and money,
and urged upon her audience the
Importance of preserving everything
possible this year.
No Empty Jars
Put your spare time into cans
and jars" she said. Home canning
is kitchen patriotism. Don't have an
empty preserving jar in your neigh
borhood this fall. If you have more
jars than you can fill, lend them TO
a neighbor who will make them
work for the nation. Some neigh
Dor surely could put up the surplus
products from your place. a quart
of canned benches or tomatoes on
the shelf is worth a bushel spelling
on the ground. See that the shelves
in your preserving closet sag little
this year. Can nothing that can
be kept without canning, for canning
is scarce Really there is nothing 10
canning fruit and vegetables except
care, cleanliness, fresh products,
jars. heat, and good elastic rubber
rings"
Miss Pitman will give demonstra-
tions at Shiremanstown, Bowmans-
dale and Carlisle. Dates for the
Dauphin county meetings Will be
announced by Mr.. Niesley.

SOUTH MOUNTAIN
FRUIT GROWERS IN
RARE GOOD LUCK
State College Experts Find
Crop Normal There; Small
Elsewhere; Coming Here

The outlook is bright for a nor
malScrop in the apple belt of Frank
lin and Adams counties this year,
and in that the growers there are
fortunate, for elsewhere the pros
.pects are anything but good" said
Dr. S. w. Fletcher, head of the hor-
ticulture department of the State
College, after a tour of the fruit
growing sections of Pennsylvania,
and dip down into Northern Mary
land.
DR.. Fletcher, accompanied by
Prof. c. E. Myers, in charge of veg
etable growing at State; Prof. A. +.
Mason. in charge of horticultural
extension work, and Prof. Jessemen
and Sherrer, identified with the ag-
ricultural department of the college,
arrived at Floradale, the great apple
growing and orchard supply center
of the Tyson Brothers, in Adams
county, yesterday, after a weeks s
journey by automobile. and were
taken over that territory and were
the guests of the Messrs. Tyson last
night at Mapleton. They were es-
corted about yesterday by the Messrs.
Tyson, who are among the largest
and most progressive fruit growers
in the East, and H. f. Hershey, for
merly of Harrisburg. and now farm
aSthl LOT ADAMS county.
At Mapleton they were met by
Robert j. Walton, the largest truck
er and orchardist in Dauphin coun-
ty and by H. j. Niesley, farm agent
for Dauphin county, who arranged
to have the State College experts
visit Dauphin county tomorrow.
They will so over the eastern and
northern sections of the county, pay
ing particular attention to the Wal
ton enterprise, just east of Hum
melstown, and to the Crimson farm,
near Millersburg. Mr.. Niesley will
accompany them.
-. Great Damage by Hail
Throughout the Adams county dis
found evidences of terrible destruc-
ton by hail. .One orchard was
stripped entirely of fruit, leaves and
branches. The bare, battered trunks
of the trees looked as though they
had been in the path of some ma
chinegun fire as we read about in
Northern France" said one of the
party, reporting at the informal
meeting held at the. Tyson residence
last evening, when the experts were
met by party of fruit growers in
that neighborhood. Bankruptcy
stares many of the owners of these
orchards in the face" said he, I'VE
weRe told that some of the hailstones
were as large as baseballs and we
could readily believe II, for the thick
apple bark had been stripped from
the trees and even locust fencerails
bore the shattering marks of the
huge pieces of ice. None of us ever
saw such frightful damage by hail
and some of our party have travel
ed in all parts of the country"

NATION MAY FIX
UNIFORM PRICE
FOR SHIP STEEL
Makers Asked TO Set Figure
For Approval of Trade
Board

Washington. d. c., June 22.-The
Federal Trade Commission will be
asked soon by Presiden; Denman, of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation, to
fiM uniform price for steel and
steel products for all industries
throughout the country.
The commission will be asked to
name a fair price which will afford
the producers a fair profit not only
on steel but on pig iron, iron ore
and every other material entering
into the manufacture of steel.
The method of procedure will be
for the commission to suggest TO all
iron and steel manufacturers and
ore producers that they unite and
name n price themselves, subject to
the commissions approval. Should
they decline to adopt this course, the
government has power to comman-
deer the plants.
Fear Big Increase
With the government obtaining its
steel for the proposed fleet of ocean
going vessels at a comparative low
price, il is feared that unless some
restrictive action be taken the price
OF steel ana iron to other industries
will attain unheard of levels within
short time.
That, it is pointed out, might be
brought about by the natural law of
supply and demand, as the govern
ments requirements when filled
would leave an inadequate supply for
other industries.
The plan has been brought infor-
mally to the attention of the COM
mission and of the iron and steel
producers and the commission is In
a position to act upon the request
within a comparatively short time.
Want Fixed Price
The present program calls for the
fixing of prices of all grades and
kinds of steel and iron, including
structural steel, steel plates, steel
rails and pig iron. both foundry and
basic. 1t is pointed out that iron
end steel for use in the manutacture
OF harvesters and other agricultural
implements is necessary for the ma
tional defense to degree secondary
only to the need for steel in con-
structing the proposed merchant
fleet.
The commission also might find II
necessary to fix the price of man
canese limestone and other elements
entering into the manufacture OF pig
iron which in turn enter INTO the
manufacture of steel.
Mr.. Denman has definite ideas as
t. the price to be set on all the yari-
Gus materials. but declined to-day to
state in detail what his views were.
