Grand Chief w. S. Stone
Condemns Long Hours
BY associated Press

Washington, Feb. 13.-Lack OF
preparation by the railroads to meet
the winter weather was the cause of
the great traffic congestion. Warren
S. Stone, Grand Chief of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, to-
day told the Railroad Wage Com
mission in asking for a minimum
wage of Sc day and penalties time
and a half for overtime.
MANY roads went into the winter
with no provision for taking care of
their motive power" he said. There
were no doors on roundhouses, no
means of heating"
Long hours worked by railroad
men. Mr.. Stone denounced as a
menace to public safety. He said a
majority of yards were working on
an eight-hour shift until the move
ment was begun for increased wages
when the work was heightened to
enable the railroads to show larger
amounts paid to employees. More
than half the engineers of the coun-
try receive less than $3.50 a month,
he said. Employment of women in
the place of men also was condemn
ed by Mr.. Stone.

READY FOR DRIVE
TO AID JEWISH
BOYS IN CAMPS
Mass Meeting Monday Night
to Be Largely AT
tended

William Jennings, or the Conn
monwealth Trust Company, has
named a committee of non-Jews OF
Harrisburg who will assist the jew
ish residents of the city on Tuesday
Wednesday and Thursday of next
week in their effort to raise 1000
for Jewish war relief and welfare
work for the Jewish boys serving in
the United States Army.
The campaign begins Tuesday
morning. The mass meeting to be
held in the Orpheum Theater Mon
day night promises to be very large
ly attended. The principal speaker
will be DR.. Nathan Krass, of New
York, well-known pulpit orator.
DIR. krass is a particularly bril-
liant speaker.
His talk Monday night will be a
revelation to the Jews and non-Jews
of this city. He will tell of condi-
tions as they exist in Europe, in
Palestine, in Japan-where there
are thousands of refugees from
stricken Russia. He will tell what
the Jewish war relief and welfare
work commission is doing for the
$4,000 Jews in the Army and Navy
The information will be startling to
the people of Harrisburg.
Chairman David Kaufman of the
committee in charge of the local
drive is receiving many assurances
of support from various sources. He
said this morning that DR.. Krass
talk may shock Harrisburg with its
information that thousands of Jews
are dying because they cannot re-
ceive aid, but that the revelation
will show conditions exactly as they
exist in Europe.
The doors of the Orpheum Thea
ter will be open at 7.30 o'clock on
Monday night. The program will
begin about $40. In addition to
DR.. Krass there will be other we'll
known speakers.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair. be
careful what you use. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali, which is very injurious,
as it dries the scalp and makes the
hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most ex-
pensive soaps or anything else all
to pieces. You can get this at any
drug store, and a few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about a teaspoon
full is all that is required. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle or dust, dirt and
dandruff.

Resources.

An industrial survey to determine
the nations taxable resources, as an
aid to the ways and means committee
in framing the income and excess
profits sections of the new $4,000. .0Oe,-
900 revenue bill, is under way. Com
mittee members said they expect to
raise approximately $4,000, ,000. 900 from
excess profits and incomes, but until
the resources are more clearly deter
mined no definite plan will be begun.
Some members still hope to raise S6,-
900, 100000 by taxes on war profits
and incomes.
Members of the committee pointed
out that Great Britain expects to raise
5000, 900. 600 from it's income and ex-
cess profis,. and they said that IL this
is possible there it would be logical
to conclude thas at least $4,000. .000, 900
could be raised in this country.

THE FARMERS PROBLEM.
Labor Cost May Compel Him to Re-
duce His Acreage.
IA. the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Now that the law has fixed the
price of wheat to the farmers two es-
sential points remain to be stressed.
In the first place is it possible for any
one to know the cost of wheat until it
IL on the market? An "act of Provi-
dence" may lessen the total amount
of production at any time from plant
ing until after shipment. In that case
the cost is increased as the amount
produced is decreased. Acreage is a
most uncertain basis upon which to
reckon cost for any one year. and
this year is an unprecedented year.
1t would seem premature to declare
the cost since the past cannot be
taken as a guide. u
Time was when dollar wheat was
the slogan of prosperity. Clearly. the
dollar of today has not the same
purchasing power as then and this
was doubtless largely considered in
the proposed price fixing-$2.20 would
certainly seem very handsome price,
but now enters in another question.
Can the farmer at $2.20 or even at
wartime employers? If he cannot.
then clearly this most vital industry
must lag and he cannot add the great
acreage Secretary Houston urges.
The farmerettes have seen the prob
lem with altruistic vision. and have
applied themselves to the work for
a season without thought of personal
gain. The average farm laborer has
often a: family to consider. He may
be truly patriotic, but if ships will
win the war and he can earn IS a
day in a shtpyard as against half of
that on a farm. can be blamed il he
puts his endeavor where he not only
does his bit. but is well paid for it?
So the question before us is, not the
fortune that the farmer is popularity
supposed to be amassing, not the In.
creased price of bread to the people,
bat rather can the; farmer compete
with other industries" Is he suf1i-
eiently organized to maintain produc-
tton. not alone for himself, and for
us, but for the world?
The problem seems such very vital
one that 1t would seem that every
energy should, be bent to its solution.
