Many Detours Ready
For State Motorists

In announcing list of detours now
existing on State Highway routes in
Pennsylvania, because of the enor-
nous amount of construction now
under way, the State Highway De-
partment to-day made a suggestion
which it believes will relieve the
congestion of traffic on the Lincoln
Highway between Philadelphia and
Trenton. \. ]. Travel on the Lincoln
Highway this year is greater than
ever before and it is particularly
heavy east of Philadelphia.
Among the detourS' now existing
in Pennsylvania are the following:
! William Penn highway, construc-
! ton on Route No. /, the william
Penn Highway, between Dauphin and
| Clark's Ferry. creates a detour be-
ginning June so. The road will. how
ever. be opened for Fourth of July
| travel. Through travellers. during the
/ time the detour is in force. which
will be for the balance of the sum-
mer, may travel the highway on the
/ opposite side of the river, reaching
| it from the west at Clark's Ferry
bridge, where they continue over the
iron bridge across the Juniata river,
through Duncannon and Marysville
| to a point opposite Harrisburg. where
/ two bridges connect with the city.
/ Travelling from the east, motorists
reach the -MarysVille
route over either the Market street
or Walnut street bridges, Harrisburg.
If they prefer using the William
Penn Highway they will find the de-
! tour from Speeceville to Dauphin
plainly marked. Trucks should avoid
this detour in wet weather.
Meadville to Harrisburg. (through
/ Franklin. Clearfield, Bellefonte and

River Dotted With
Small Pleasure Craft

The churches were not as largely
attended yesterday as they usually
are. The day was an ideal one to
spend in the open and many who are
accustomed to be in their places in
the sanctuary, took advantage of the
fine weather and spent the hours in
the country. There was delightful
breeze going nearly all day. Auto
mobiles by the hundreds could be
seen along the River Drive. Paxtang
and Reservoir Parks were filed. as
well as the parks along the River
Front. Then, too, hundreds of peo-
pie went out of the city either by rail
or trolley. 1t was the last Sunday
prior to the beginning of the church
vacation period. Scores of people
went to beautiful Wildwood, where
they spent the day under the trees.
Many of them took lunches and did not
return to their homes until cooler
weather and darkness drove them
away.
The river was dotted with canoes
and craft of all descriptions, hun
dreds of those who are devoted to
this pastime spending much of the
day on the water. Capitol Park, too,
was hlled with men, women and chill
dren. there being scarcely an unoc-
cupied bench during the hours OF
light. They shared their luncheon
with the squirrels and pigeons The
quite little ones romped on the grass
the watchmen relaxing their vigil
lance and forgetting for the time
being the rules of the State.

Details Drawn Up of
Appropriation Bills

Chairman William J. McCaig, of
the House appropriations commit
tee, to-day began compilation of a
statement in detail of all appropria-
tions passed by the Legislature for
Governor William c. Sproul who is
expected here within few days.
The statement will show the figures
approved for each subject last ses-
sion.
1t is possible that the appropria-
ton bills may be approved early in
the tAirty- day period instead of be-
ing held until the very last day as
was the case in the last two sessions.
Governor Sproul has sent word that
everything is to be in readiness to
take up at once and will have a
conference with Auditor General
Snyder about the revenue early in
the coming week.
People at the Capitol are of the
opinion that it will not be neces-
sary to make many reductions in the
charities and that If any cuts are
made it will be in other directions.

that union men and their friends will

this will be unpleasant for the clerks,

Who Beat Up Unionist To
Face Trial Next Week

On next Friday a trial of unusual
interest to union men of the city will
be held 1t will be the trial of John
White, leader Of the strikebreakers
employed at the Hamilton Machine
Tool Co, and r L. King a watchman
employed at the same plant Both men
were indicted by the October grand
jury on the charge Of assault
1t will be remembered that these
men brutally assaulted Joe Bell, a
union machinist in September, while
Bell was doing picket duty at the
plant of the Hamilton Machine Tool
Company, where a strike existed and
which still continues
The reason for the unusual interest
Of the union men is that it is unusual
that the strikebrealsers be tried in
these cases. The usual thing in the
past has been that the strikebreakers
would beat up a union man and then
the union man would be arrested and
charged with assault

RABBITS
AT zoe
In Kentucky While Here
They Sell at 80 Cents

Some time back it was said that
while $3.50 and $500 per bushel was
being asked for potatoes in this city,
the same potatoes that is, Ohio po-
tatoes-were selling in Kentucky at
$3.50 a bushel That was about the
time "a committee was appointed to
investigate the high food prices in the
city
The other day a gentleman living
in Carlisle, KY, while visiting in this
city, said that the highest retail price
being paid in Kentucky for rabbits is
20 cents, and that the wholesale peo-
pie refused to accept them at 10 cents
each He also said that any number
was to be had at that price. In Ham
ilton so cents is being asked. Now
the thing is just this: Why is there
such difference in the prices between
here and Kentucky? Is it because the
people of Hamilton are just easy and
fall for any old thing, and are being
held up and shook down, or IS 1t really
that it costs more to raise potatoes IN
Ohio and sell them in this state than
it does to raise them in this state and
sell them in Kentucky; and is it be-
cause that it costs more to shoot them
in Ohio than it does in Kentucky that
rabbits bring more than double the
price here than they bring in Ken
tucky? These are questions many
people would like to have answered.
How about the citizens food COM
mittee going down in Kentucky and
buying lot of those rabbits, and sell
ing them to our people at a reason
able price? Here's chance, Judge.

MACHINISTS' UNION
BOOMING
More Than 1900 Names
Now on Roster

Machinists' Local, No. 241, is ex-
periencing the greatest boom in all
its history at the present time.
Every meeting sees the coming in of
new members and the reading Of
many applications. At the meeting
Wednesday night the hall wouldn't
accommodate all those desiring to
get in. Much routine business was
transacted All the shop committees
reported conditions in fair shape.
More than 1900 names are now on the
roster roll of the organization, and
with the continuous pouring in of new
applications the 1900 mark, long the
goal sought by the members, will soon
be reached.
Many matters of much importance
to all members of the organization
were discussed. 1t was brought out
clearly that with the continuous soar
ing of living prices that it will be
absolutely necessary that wages be
increased to meet them. 1t is believ-
ed that the employers will readily see
the justice in the requests for a high
er wage scale and grant it. The Mos
Ter and Hall safe companies have al
ready granted an increase to their
employees.

A CORRECTION

The Press, issued two weeks ago,
contained an article stating that four
white girls employed at the Repub-
lican-News plant went on strike be
cause the firm employed five colored
girls to work in the bindery of the
plant. That information was given
The Press by one of the girls who
said she was one of the strikers.
This girl since then admits the state
ent she made was erroneous-that
there were no colored girls employed
to work in the bindery of the Repub-
lican-N News-that she was mistaken.
She further stated that there really
was no strike that several girls sim
ply quit under mistaken idea.
We might add that a representative
of The Press since publication of the
article above referred to made a per-
sonal investigation and found the
original statement of the girl to be
untrue.
The article published by The Press
two weeks ago was an injustice to the
Republican-News Publishing Com
pany, and The Press gladly makes
this Editor.
