Gov. Sproul Hopeful
of Things in General
After Return From West

Chester, Pa, Aug. 12.-Governor
William c. Sproul arrived at his
home here yesterday after an alb
sence of two weeks, during which
time he had been in the State of
Washington looking over some prop
erty in which he is interested.
The Governor said that business
conditions throughout the country
appear to be hopeful, but that busi-
nessmen are disturbed by the dis
organization of the railroad service
and the increasing scarcity of labor,
while the working people are every
where uneasy due to the extremely
high cost of everything for decent
living.
Governor Sproul said chat he is
hopeful that the plan proposed by
Attorney General Palmer, looking
toward the fixing of fair prices on
various commodities might have a
good effect upon the necessities.
Everywhere through the northwest
the States and cities are giving at
tention to the question of living
costs.

ernor, "all our departments are do

C.OF C. PICNICTO
BE BIG EVENT
Steelton Businessmen to Join
in Outing at Guada-
loupe

The annual picnic of the Harris
burg Chamber of Commerce at
Guadaloupe, the summer home of
John w. Reilly, near Fort Hunter,
will be one of the most successful
outdoor functions ever arranged by
the Chamber, according to the no.
tices to the membership which were
issued by the committee in charge of
the event, to-day. The committee is
composed of Mercer B. Tate, chair
man. Boyd NJ. Ogelsby, NJ. w. Eager,
George n. Barnes and Frank j.
Brady.
The picnic will be held week
from Thursday, and the trip to the
picnic grounds will be made by
automobile from Market Square, be-
ginning at 1915 o'clock. The mem
bers of the organization with auto
mobiles have been asked to volun-
teer their cars for the occasion, to
carry the members who are without
means of transportation, to the
scene of the days festivities.
The notices announcing the picnic
state that the usual eats, usual
games, usual stunts, and a general
good time will be assured all who
attend the affair. The notices do
not add. but the committee in
charge does not hesitate to affirm,
that some of the stunts and games
will be a little more than usual"
so that curiosity alone is expected
to bring out no small number of the
Chamber members.
Announcement also was made to-
day that the Steelton Business Mems
Association, which had planned to
hold its outing on August 81 also,
will join the local organization, and
the two will hold their picnics to-
gether at Gudad Guadalupe. Many
Steelton businessmen are members
of the local. organization, and the
Steelton organization joining with
the local association emphasizes the
close relation of business interests
between the two communities.
Reservations for the picnic must
be in the hands of the committee

each member is $3.50, the notices

of sitting on the lid, Austin B. Gar
retson. former head of the Order of
Railway Conductors. testified to-day
before the House Interstate Com
merce Committee. which is seeking
to solve the problem of how best to
handle the railroads after the war
time period of Federal control.
Sporadic strikes throughout the
country, Garretson said with great
earnestness merely are straws which
show now the wind is blowing over
a sea of industrial unrest. Rumo-
lings heard in many quarters do not
mean, he said, that laboring people
want to overthrow the government,
but indicate a demand that the gov
ernment function.
1t is largely in the power of Con-
gress, the witness declared, to allay
the feeling.
But it cannot be done by in
action" he shouted. Somehow the
American people are not prone al
ways to do to-day what may be done
tomorrow, unless an emergency
forces us to act, and then we break
all records"
II am not a dreamer of Dreams
he told the committee. which gave
unusual attention to his testimony
There was no desire. he said, to
extend the Plumb plan beyond those
industries in which men worked
with their hands. He wanted the
men who run the railroads to nave
a voice in their anagement; ne
wanted politics eliminated, and in
the general discussion of this last
subject the witness declared that
there was no politics in the action
of the American Federation of La
Dor in seeking to have the postmas-
ter general removed, because, this
view, he held, was expressed by
Republicans and Democrats alike.
Admitting that the four great
railway brotherhoods supported
President Wilson in 1915 and smil-
ingly throwing in the added intor-
nation that with all of my Re-
publican affiliations l am guilty,
too" Mr.. Garretson insisted this was
purely an "act of citizenship"
After the question of Presidential
politics had been raised Mr.. Gar
retson said he wanted the record TO
carry a denial from him of reports
that the brotherhoods with a gun
in one hand and a stopwatch in the
other" had held up Congress and
forced through the Adamson eight
hour law.
There was no coercion of sena-
tors or representatives by, the
brotherhoods, he shouted, pound
ing the table to emphasize the de-
nial, "and I challenge anybody to
prove otherwise"
To Withdraw Plumb Plan
In the face of a storm of denunci-
alton from Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike, the promoters of the
Plumb plan for the naturalization
of the railroads to-day prepared to
withdraw their scheme for the pres
ent and to withhold it for consider
alton at the national conference to
meet in Washington, October 6,
when proposals for the solution of
the railroad problem will be Of

GO ON SALE FRIDAY

Charges Down to Minimum

ing. 1t is probable that the sale of
canned goods and meats will be
started at each of the eleven fire.
houses at 10 o'clock. The change
In time for the sale of these goods
was made necessary because of the
inability to secure chauffeurs to
handle the trucks.
The committee is desirous of CIV
ing the people of Harrisburg the
Government food at as low cost as
possible. With this end in view the
expenses in getting the food to Har-
risburg will be held down. A num-
ber of chauffeurs have volunteered
their services and the subcommittee
in charge of the trucks expect other
volunteers. There will be IL trucks.
Food Comes Thursday
The food will be brought here
Thursday and distributed to the
nrehouses. 1t will be checked up
by the chairman at each firehouse,
and by the general committee. There
Will be no change in the prices. Har-
risburg is getting the food at less
cost than other cities. This is par
TALLY due to the fact that Harris
burg will not have freight bill to
pay.
AT a meeting this afternoon, held
in the City Council Chamber, men,
bers of the general committee met
with the chairman and subcommit-
tees from each firehouse, and ar
ranged details for selling the goods.
There will be strict regulations. No
person will be permitted to enter
the firehouses unless he or she in
tends to make a purchase. To aid in
observing this rule the coupon tickets
will in all probability be sold on the
outside. Purchasers may buy as
many coupons at ten and five cents

said, would be the court of last
resort in determining wages, but
the right of employees to strike would
not be abridged
But" he explained, the en-
ployes would be partners in the en-
terprise. If the wage board would
hear wage disputes and refused to
grant increases 1t would pledge
large percentage Of employees to re-
fuse it. So il a body of employees
went on strike, they would find a
large employe element who felt their
own rights had been invaded and
injured and who would stick.

Europe's imports of food from
this country, particularly that pur-
chased with the S100,00o,000 fund
which President Wilson said was
necessary to stop the western spread
of Bolshevisn, drew the fire of SEN
ator Myers. who declared in a speech
that people abroad were buying
American products cheaper than
they could be purchased at home.
President Wilson's suggestion
that Congress could show what can
be done to control mounting prices
by remedying the extortion which it
has been charged was rampant in
the District of Columbia resulted in
the drafting of bill by the district
commissioners, in conjunction with
Chairman Murdock of the Federal
