Cards Will Be Sent to 20, 900
Citizens in Effort to Get Line on
Prospective Candidates
REPLIES TO BE ANONYMOUS

A referendum canvass among 10000
representative citizens Of Philadelphia
on the question, "Who shall be
Mayor| is to be taken by the City
Club.
Several members OF the organization
already have expressed their views on
the choice and fitness of prospective
candidates through the EVENING Pun
LILO LEDGER. Now the City Club as n
body is seeking to obtain expression OF
opinion from its entire membership on
the important question involved.
Through Joseph s. Hagedorn, as di-
rector of civic affairs, 1900 referen
dunn cards will be mailed late today to
as many voters of the city whose views
on the matter the club regards as eS-
pressive of the best thought of citizens
actively interested in municipal gov
ernment and affairs.
The scope and object Of the campaign
are set forth in n circular accompany
ing the blank ballot, and reads in part
as follows: I'VE voters usually fee
that we are little consulted in the actua
naming of candidates for important Of
fees. Even at the primaries we fine
ourselves confronted with narrow
choice. We have to vote for men placed
in the field by professional politicians
who have their own ends in view, ou,
confidence in our government is les
sened.
"The City Club has determined that
so far as lies in its power, every on,
shall be consulted before the candidate,

ranks and degrees, all trades and pro
fessions, all denominations and be
liefs."
Directions for answering are given
with the request that replies may b.
made anonymously, key number beint
stamped on each card, so that tn,
committee alone may know the identity
of the voter. Strict confidence in tn,
latter regard is promised.
Announcement is made that the name.

General Manager Of Keystone
System Says Women Picket

three men and three girls who had quit

discharged employees, had been rein
stated. Otherwise, Mr.. Cook said, the
situation is unchanged.
No conference between officials of the
company and strikers or their sympa
thizers took place today, nor had such
meetings been arranged definitely, said
Mr.. Cook. "I met Mrs. Clifford Pin
chot and Mrs. Raymond Robins, presi-
Union League, yesterday Mr.. Cool,
explained.
I'VE went over the situation" he
said, "and the ladies left with the con
viction that their services had been en- e.
listed through misunderstanding. I
told them that we would at anytime
treat with our employees, including those
on strike, but would not meet any com
mittees as representing discharged oper
atlves. IL any of the latter come here
| will take up their case as individuals
and do all that | can to make satisfac E
tory adjustment, but the company will
not recognize any union or outside in .
tuence in a matter that concerns its
relations with individual employees or
former employees.
II think the ladies were satisfied that
the three operators and four men whose
discharge was the basis of the trouble
had been properly dismissed
Il have gone over the matter thor
oughly and find that these seven ON
ployes were discharged for incfficiency
that was clearly shown. If any of
them does not think so | am willing
to meet them singly or a committee of
them and go over their cases with
them. There has been n misunder
standing over the situation hope to
bring about an adjustment shortly.'
About thirty girls and sixty men in
the entire Keystone district are on
strike, according to Mr.. Cook. The
discharged employees included three
operators from the Race exchange. two
men from the installation and two from
the maintenance departments.
The leaders of the strike assert they
have the Keystone system in several
branch exchanges pretty well tied up.
