INVITE THE VETERANS

A LII service men should be in
"A vited to attend the dedicatory
services on Arbor Day when
grove of evergreens will be planted
in Reservoir Park as a living me-
mortal to Harrisburg soldiers and
sailors who died during the war, and
it should be the effort of Commits
sioner Gross and those in charge of
the program to see TO it that the
wives, mothers and relatives in gem
eral of the men to be honored are
special guests on that occasion.
The Arbor Day exercises at Res
ervoir Park this year will be of such
character that the whole city should
turn out to attend. The hour of the
program should be fixed for u time
that would permit of the largest
number being present without un-
necessary interference with every
day affairs. For example, it might
be easily possible to arrange for the
presence of a great number of school
boys and girls if the exercises can
be planned for a time that would
not conflict with their regular study
program. DR.. Downes, city superin-
tendent, always has been greatly in
terested in the proper observance of
Arbor Day and no doubt would be
happy TO do his part were he asked
TO cooperate.
=
clubs ought to be interested in the
movement. Hundreds OF trees will
be planted during the coming Arbor
I Day ceremonies, but in no case will
there be opportunity for such a gen.
eral observance of the day as Mr.
Gross has arranged for at Reser-
| voir Park.

the board OF directors of the Cham
ber of Commerce. as newly consti-
tuted. will have the steady co-opera-
ton of those who have served so ac-
ceptably throughout the last few
years.
Harrisburg is being watched with
interest and appreciation by many
other municipalities and the way
things are done here is frequently
adopted as the guide for other COM
munities. A brilliant woman, re-
Gently visitor, covered this point
in the enthusiastic remark: II al
ways like 10 come to Harrisburg for
its civic demonstrations because the
people know how to do things Well"
This is a reputation which we must
always justify and the Chamber of
Commerce, comprising some hun
dreds OF the most active and infiu-
entail men of the city, will take up
its work with cheerfulness and full
determination to cooperate with
every other civic body in the pro-
motion of the best interests of Har-
risburg.

Some Strike Figures

From the New York Evening SUM-
The tic-up of food supplies for New
York by the striking longshoremen
may be ended this evening. But be-
fore il can come to close, another
group of altruists takes hold of the
situation. The expressmen have de-
cided on taking a holiday, so milk.
fruit, fish and other perishable food
stuffs are left rotting on the railway
platforms or in the cars.
Meanwhile, curses, not quite so
loud perhaps but very deep, con-
tinue to be launched against the
tribe of hoarders and profteers who
are making living so dear to the
poor workers-and strikers. New
demands for indictments for selfish
foes of the public are in order. Per-
haps the Department of Justice may
find the moment appropriate for q
new seizure Of eggs and the like In
transit, on the ground that gain was
sought by the dealer in whose hands
they happened to be.
The World to-day prints some in
teresting figures as to the strike sit
uation in this city. 1t says there
are 100000 men voluntarily idle. in
cluding longshoremen and workers
depending on them, deckhanCs, cap
tains, oilers, pilots and engineers ol
harbor craft, expressmen and de-
pendents. laundrymen, compositors
nressmen and feeders. We should
think s25 a week would not be an
excessive estimate of the average pay
of these people, for If some get
lower wages many receive a great
deal more. Well, 100000 times va
is just s5.000,o00 week.
Here we have the direct contribu-
ton of the strikers to general pros
perity, a loss of five millions in q
week in earnings. for even though on
the settlement they receive full strike
wages. the economic loss remains
The incidental loss probably runs
from equal to double the amount OF
the unearned pay. Ten to fifteen

prosperity begins to lag, the radical

Conference Problem
[From the Philadelphia /

lFrom the Philadelphia Press.
The result of the recess that has
been taken by the Industrial Confer
ence may mean much or little. If it
is used for the purpose of bringing
together the three sides of the ma
tional triangle-labor, capital and
the public-it will be we'll spent. 1t
is clear that there can be nothing
tangible come out of this conference
at Washington unless the three are
in agreement. There is no power 10
enforce any decision that is made.
1t is only by voluntary action by the
parties concerned that there can he
policies adopted and principles of
action formulated that will be some
thing more than mere word and
phrase.
The Industrial Conference is try
ing to solve a problem that touches
everybody in the country. The
pressing need is for a program that
will be for the permanent good of
ALL not a temporary advantage to
any one or to any part of our popu-
lation. The demands of the war took
industry out of its usual channels.
The necessity now is to get back to
a stable basis. and this means some
sacrifices on Gle part of all. The
conference is not dealing with affairs
as they were before the war came
to the world. Our factories have
been speeded up in the making of
things for destructive purposes dur
ing the past five years, which indus
trially added nothing to our re-
sources. The result has been not
only the waste that went into the
munitions. but an accumulated short
age OF the things actually needed
by the country.
If this conference can solve it's
problem it will have performed a
great task. The disease is an easy
one to diagnose. but the remedy is
exceedingly difficult. The crying
need of the hour is for more produc-
ton and the stabilizing of industry
so that there will be no unnecessary
interference with the maintenance of
the maximum of efficiency. The
goal of this conference is the form
ing of some plan which will yield
substantial justice to all. 1t was
not called for the purpose of fur
thering the ends of capital or labor
or the producer, and If it attempts
any such action, the meeting Will
have been of no real benefit and have
made no change in present condi-
tionS
