been concerts in Walnut Hill park, but the public bathing pool seems just as far away as ever. Neverth eless, the worthy members of the council who have so oft and repeatedly agitated this public improvement should not feel unduly discouraged because their efforts have borne no fruit. Likewise, they should not think that their idea is an original one since the plan was first suggested at least a quarter of a a century ago. But if public bath ing pool was needed 25 years ago. it is surely needed 25 times as much today, Maybe the present members of the council will live long enough to see the finish of that which some long ago.

RAILROAD CASES
GET PRECEDENCE
Compensation Board Gives
Decisions in Several APP
peals Taken Recently

In deciding against allowing the
appeal of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway Company from the
award of compensation by the
referee in the case of Frederick j.
Hibbard. Philadelphia, who lost a
leg as the result of infection from a
blister rubbed open on his ankle
after he had been scalded while at
work a few days previous, the work
mems compensation board makes the
fine distinction that while the COM
merce concern. the car in the hand
ling of which the accident occurred
was not in interstate service. The
company contended that the board
had no Jurisdiction and that the ac-
cident came under federal regula-
ton. In the case of Philip Pentl-
bone, Reading. appealing from
the disallowance of compensation
claimed from the Philadelphia and
Reading, the board decides that the
accident occurred in interstate oper-
ations and therefore is for federal
adjustment.
The Aetna Explosives Company is
informed in the case of N. w. Shell
Ito, Huntingdon county, that in a
contract for hiring the employe be-
ing entitled to a bonus as induce
ment to enter the service the bonus
should be included in computing the
compensation due the injured en-
ploye. In the case of Rosie Tur-
owski, Scranton, VS.. the Lehigh Val
ley Coal Company it was shown that
the wife had not lived with the
husband for IL years and she is not
allowed compensation, but the COM
pany is ordered to bear the funeral
expenses. Tahir Hamet, Philadel-
phia, is refused compensation, the
board holding with the referee chat
his disabilities are due to an acci-
dent in 1915, the board emphasizing
its decision to stand wherever pos
sible on the ground taken by the
referee. The same action is taken
in the case of James Gonzales, Phil
adelphia VS.. p. NJ. Walton and Com
pany.

specifications of the contract. Other
departments of the plant will not be
held up in their operations as a re-
suit of the fire. Work on salvaging
valuable equipment from the ruins
has already been started, and it is
thought that some of the machinery
can be utilized.
The cause of the fire has not been

officials of the company have accept

rise to numerous rumors about
the city yesterday, causing the gen.
eral belief that the fire was due to
explosion of munitions. 1t was point
ed out at the plant that there are no
explosives at the plant, and that the
shells are sent elsewhere to be filled.
Company officials said this morning
that the rumor had even spread to
San Francisco, and the company had
received a telegram from that city
asking if it were true that the entire
plant had blown up with the loss of
many lives.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THE RED CROSS
. the Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the TELEGRAPH:
We are in this war to win and the
Red Cross is one of the most potent
factors for accomplishing this pur-
pose. Any organization that inter
feres with the unanimous action of
our people in giving. it their loyal
support, is in the nature of treason
An attack on the head of our local
Red Cross is one and the same
thing.
Suppose every organization would
consider it its duty, or pretend they
did, to withhold their support
from the Red Cross, whether in the
name of religion or not, there would
result the chaotic condition which
the Red Cross is primarily organized
to prevent, and no loyal Americans
fighting for the democracy of the
world, and willing to give their all
to win, would agree that our leader
or any member of the magnificent

that. for several days in many of the

heat, and last Sunday a number of
