To Bar Aliens From
State Public Works

A bill to prohibit the employ
ment of aliens, exempted from
military service during the war
with Germany, on all public works
undertaken by the State, counties
or municipalities, will be presented
in the House Monday night by Rep
resentative James J. Hefferman OF
Philadelphia. The main purpose
of the measure is to insure the en-
ployment of Americans, particular
ly discharged soldiers and sailors
on the great program of road con-
struction to be undertaken by the
State Highway Department. To this
end an effort will be made to have
Highway Commissioner Sadler sup
port the measure. Support of pa
triotic organizations also will he en-
listed for the bill.
The bill provides that in each
contract for public work, there
must be a proviso that failure to
comply with its provisions invalid
ates the contract; also that on de-
mand of the executive officer of the
State or municipality, the contrac-
tor must furnish a list of his en-
ployes stating whether they are
naturalized or native-born citizens
of the United Statec. The penalty
for violation is fine of not more
than $500, or imprisonment of not
more than one year.

BIG ROAD PLANS
ARE AGREED ON
Schuylkill, Northumberland
and Others Cared For
Sadler Lays Down Law

Plans for improvement of stretch
es of highway that will give Shen-
andoah and Paxinos relief declared
to be badly needed were agreed upon
late today by Highway Commissioner
Lewis S. Sadler and delegations
from. Schuylkill and Northumberland
counties. The Shenandoah people,
headed by Auditor General Snyder
and Secretary of Internal Affairs
Houck came to protest against the
situation in which Shenandoah was
left and the upshot was that Mr..
Sadler agreed to build seventeen
miles of road between Hometown
and Frackville passing through Shen-
andoah, the State to pay $75O,000
and the county s350,OOO. This prop
osition will be submitted to the
Schuylkill county authorities imme-
diately. 1T does not follow that be-
cause Shenandoah was not on the
| list that it will not get share OF
State road. We will help and want
| you to help" said the commissioner.
"Schuylkill county has four times as
much primary road mileage outlined
| for it as Cumberland and Delaware
counties for instance. You can see
county lines are not being taken into
consideration in laying out the pri-
! mary road system. The Northum-
berland improvement was promised
a delegation headed by Senator w. c.
Mcconnell and it asked especially for
three miles near FaXinos..
County Commissioner John Roach
and Fred Dornsife agreed that Mort
cumberland county, TO the financial
ability of the county, will build its
money into the secondary system OF
routes planned to connect the high
ways of the main system. North
cumberland county's borrowing ca
pacity is 100000. 1t now has a
| bonded Indebtedness of approXi-
matley S650,000. The commissioners
are determined, they told the High
way Commissioner, TO use the unex-
pended credit of approximately $50
! 600 in road improvements.

with delegations that came here to
urge road building. He saw scores of
people during the day and also took
occasion to let it be known that
proceeds of the big $50, 900, 900 bond
issue will not be used to construct
parallel lines.
The declaration about parallel
lines came when a committee from

prosperity.
Il concur in the opinion of the ex-

Mr.. Burleson said: Admittedly the
revenue OF the postal service is one of
the most accurate barometers of pres
ent business conditions, because the
postal revenue comes from every COM
munity in the United States.
During November there was a pro-
nounced decline in postal revenues,
due to the nationwide prevalence Of
influenza and the signing Of the arm
istice. Revenues in December showed
returning movement toward normal
conditions. while during January and
February the revenues greatly exceed
