Use of Pay Car Abandoned

The Pennsylvania Railroad will
no longer run it's pay car along the
line to pay it's employees. Beginning
last Monday the use of the pay car
will be abandoned, except in pay
ing few of it's employees in the
cities where the pay car remains.
In the past 10 years or more the
employees have received their pay
in coin, but this, too, has been done
away with, and in the future a
draft will be issued to each in
dividual. The company's agents at
the different stations on the divi-
sions will receive the drafts and
will deliver them to the proper en-
ployes on certain days named by
the company. 1t will then be up
to the employees to indorse the
checks and have them cashed. This
change will benefit many of the
employees, who heretofore were
obliged to remain at their places of
employment many hours on pay
day to wait for the pay car. The
pay will be semi-monthy as here

Destructive Fire
at Bowers Beach

Early Friday night twelve cot
tages at Bowers Beach were totally
destroyed by a fire which started
in the cottage Of Potter Coffin OF
The origin is unknown,
as none of the cottages were oc-
cupied. They were all two-story
frame structures and are occupied
bv the owners every summer. They
were all in excellent shape. Last
spring the tides considerably
damaged this row of cottages. AS
a result of this damage they were
rebuilt and moved farther back
from the beach and placed on new
foundations.
The owners of the destroyed cot
takes, in addition to the Coffin cot
tage where the blaze started, are;
Rogers family of Frederica; John
George of Frederick; Mrs. Ida

The Steel Strike

Since the opening day the steel
strike has been watched in its
every detail by the public men
and students of industrial condi.
tons in Washington. The steel
industry has asked for no sympa-
thy, aud evidently the public
mind is concerning itself but
little regarding the interests in.
yolyed in the ownership aud
management Of the industry.
But il is very patent fact that
Washington is overwhelmingly
convinced that the steel strike
is the result of an unreasoning
exercise of the power of bad in
fluenees over great groups Of
foreign. born laborers who have
centered in this industry.
