U. S. Denies Justice
to Poor Is Charged

New York. Oct. 22.-with the in
dorsement of Elihu Root in an accom-
panying foreword, the Carnegie
Foundation yesterday issues a report
entitled Justice and the Poor" which
finds that the present system of ad-
ministering justice in this country
fails to give adequate protection to
the rights of poor citizens and i'm
migrants and recommends the estab-
lishment of certain new types of
courts and the rapid extension of le-
gal aid organizations and of defend
ers in criminal cases so that the de-
nial of justice which now exists may
be speedily ended.
The report was written by Regi-
nald Heber Smith. of Boston. and is
based on a study which embraces his
investigation at first hand of courts
and legal organizations throughout
the country during the last three
years and his experiences as counsel
for the Legal Aid Society in Boston,
in which capacity during five years
no represented about $4,000 clients
consisting of the poor persons and
immigrants in that city.

ORGANIZE TO
BOOST SQUARE
Businessmen Propose to Look
After Interests in City's
Center

The Market Square Association,
composed of the businessmen who
have their places of business on the
Square was formed last night at a
meeting held in the PennH Harris.
The organization which has as it's
purpose the betterment OF conditions
In the Square elected David kaufman
president. Paul Johnston. vice-presi-
dent. and Stanley S. Zimmerman Sec
rotary and treasurer.
The association has no selfish mo-
tive against any other section of the
city but intends to work out their own
problems of Market Square with an
eye to bettering conditions as much
as possible. One of the first things
to be taken up will be the improve
ment of the Square from an artistic
point of view, SO that it will-become
more of municipal asset.
Five businessmen were appointed
last night to make a thorough inves-
tigation of the problems which con-
front the Square. They will get the
opinions of all men who are. have
been, or expect to be connected with
the Square in any way. and endeavor
to deduce from these many opinions
just what the best steps would be to
follow out in making the Square a
better place.
At a later meeting of the Associa-
ton this committee will turn in it's
report. and although it is expected
that the personnel of the committee
VIII be able TO submit report which
may be acted on, it is also thought
that the advice of experts may be of
benefit in the problems, which must
be solved. 1t is the opinion of the
committee that the Square will be-
come in future years even more the
central point of the city than it is
now, and unless it is adequately
treated. Harrisburg will lose a con-
siderable asset from many stand
points.
Traffic regulations will be consid-
cred and suggestions put forward as
to the best way of regulating the con-
stantly increasing flow of vehicles.
The establishment of an isle of safety
and a public comfort station will also
be among the questions taken up. A
number of men expressing their
views at the meeting last evening,
said that they thought the traffic
problem the most serious one which
demands the attention of everybody
Immediately.
Mr. Kaufman will shortly appoint
another committee of three to draw
UP set of rules to govern the asso-
citation.

Y. M. C. A. Axes Sharpened
For the Annual "Cutfest"

Get out the old ak and sharpen
it up. you members of the Kiwanis,
the Rotary, the Chamber CT Com
merce, or the "Y"! For you are
going to need it on Saturday after
noon when Grant Forrer points out
the huge pile of wood which he has
had stacked up at the Division
street entrance to Wildwood Park.
There have been any number of chal-
lenges made by the different organ
izations, and they will be taken up
on Saturday.
At 1.30 it is planned to have every
man who is not in bed with the flu,
meet at the "Y" on Locust street
with an AK over his shoulder, and
his oldest clothes on his back And
woe unto him who has a dull o!ade!
There won't be enough axes at the
park to go around among these
mighty axmen, so everyone is urged
to get out the old family weapon,
which is probably lurking down the
cellar somewhere, and bring it along.
Gus Steinmetz has his Rotary Club
all lined up for the chopping, and it
is said that the ten strongest men
in the club will be present to WELD
the weapons; Baron Neefe has the
Kiwanis outfit in line also. and they
are sure to give the Rotary a chop
for their money. The C. of C. will be
along the line somewhere with such
old woodsmen as George Reilly, Will
Bowman, Dave Kaufman, and others
who have spent most of their lives
on the plains and hills.
So save your Saturday afternoon
and get there at least in time to
eat the bean soup, and other hot
food that Sholl Rutherford is going
to hand out. The "Y" and the In
dustrial Homes of the city need fire
wood this winter!

Promises to Return
ito Work Fails to Bring
Out Longshoremen

New York, Oct. 22.-Not a long
shoreman went to work on the Chel-
sea piers in response to o'clock
whistles this morning.
Although hundreds of dock work.
ers were congregated in the vicinity
of the big trans Atlantic steamship
piers there at an early hour, prom
ises TO return to work in the Chelsea
district, one of the most important
of the New York waterfront,
brought no result.
1t was on the word of the Chelsea
longshoremen that officials based
their prediction of a break in the
strike here.
T. V. O'Connor, president of the
International Longshoremen's Asso-
citation to whom the promise to re-
turn to work had been made, ex-
pressed surprise when informed this
morning of the failure of the Chel-
sea longshoremen to resume work
on time. He said that failure of the
riggers' local to resume labor prob
ably was the reason for the long
shoremen's inactivity. He explained
that inasmuch as the riggers operate
the tackle and lines on the ships
and piers, it would be impossible for
longshoremen to begin work without
them.
Foremen's whistles were blown
for resumption of work at piers
along the North River water front
from the Battery to Twenty-third
street as was customary before the
strike in summoning the men to
work. Not a man moved towards
the piers in response to the sig
nails.
In the Chelsea district are located
the great transatlantic steamship
piers, including the Cunard and
White Star lines, the Clyde Steam
ship Company and the General
Trans-Atlantique

New York, Oct. 22.-Plans were
on foot by New York periodical pub
fishers to-day to break the press

Authorization of this move was

to William Green, chairman of the

League section of the Association of

stood that a large amount of the
work will be taken temporarily to
Cincinnati, where conditions in the
printing industry are said to be ad-
mirable.
Overtures to end the strike were
reported to have been made yester-
day by officials of the Press Room
Executives Association. The en-
voys were informed, it was stated,
that the only terms on which the
strikers and workmen locked out
could obtain unemployment were
