WILL REORGANIZE
SCHOOL SYSTEM
Governor Arranges For Dis
cussion of Important
Plans

General educational conditions in
the State were discussed for an hour
with Governor William c. Sproul
late yesterday by a committee oil
some of the prominent educators OIL
the State, the meeting having been
arranged for an interchange of
views. The whole situation was gone
over at length and numerous sug-
gestions were made by the educators
for Improvement of conditions.
AS a result of the meeting it is
probable the legislative committee
to investigate the school system Will
confer with educators and probably
adopt as n report a bill on which
the combined thought will he CEN
tered. This bill will reorganize the
Department of Public Instruction.
During the conference with the
educators q committee of the Phila-
delphia Real Estate Board, of when
William H. Ball, secretary to Or.
Martin G.. Brumbaugh, when cover
nor, is executive secretary, waited IN
the reception room. The appoint
ment for this board was for aIter
o'clock to discuss the prQiiteerlng
charges against real estate owners
and owing to the time taken by the
educators, Mr.. Ball and his party
decided not to wait ana TOOK Train
soon after o'clock. The fact that
the former secretary, who had kept
many an important man waiting IN
his time, could not wait was much
commented upon.
The educators committee consist.
ed of DR.. f. f.. Downes, president or
the State Educational Association;
II. w. Dodd, Allentown; DR.. w. u.
Chambers, Pittsburgh; Fred W. ROD
bins, Williamsport; George L. ON
wake, president of Ursinus College;
Miss Margaret Mcguire, Philadel-
phia; Dr. j. L. Eisenberg, president
of Slippery Rock Normal School, and
DR.. Charles S Davis, Steelton, form
er president of the State Assocla-
ton. DIR. Samuel Hamilton, Pitts
burgh, and DIR. ]. w. Smoke, Leo-
anon, were unable to be here.
Governor Sproul discussed the
Philadelphia bridge with John I.
Windrim, the Philadelphia archi-
tect, and saw number of promi-
nent men and conferred with legis-
Iators about pending bills. He also
let it be known that he would not
have the State Art Commission bill
recalled so that railroad bridges
would be expected from its provi-
sions and that he would sign the bill.

trially, has taken deep root in the
world, and this country may not
hope to escape the logical conse-
quences of the development of their
tendency. The masses of people
who depend upon industry for their
entire livelihood are losing conf
dence in the system of free enter
prise which is still largely auto
cratic in its methods.
UNLESS the government and busi-
ness management unite to restore
general confidence in our industrial
system, it is inevitable that social
forces which are already in exist
ence will find our country as unpre-
pared to meet the supreme test as
we were to face the war with Ger
many, and with much less hope of a
satisfactory outcome. All of the
constructive forces whether on the
side of management or organized Ia
Dor must join to satisfactorily adapt
our industrial relations to the needs
of the postwar conditions so as to
deprive the racial and destructive
forces of their power.
"If employers, by collective action
or otherwise, are unwilling to as
sumo responsibility for meeting the
human needs of workers within in
dustrial management itself, then as
Suredly responsibility will be as
sumed by organized labor or by the
government. or at the very worst.
by the proletariat in a Bolsevik
form of government.
Democracy in industry is even
now becoming the foremost topic in
economic discussion. 1t may be
translated righteousness in business
relations"

MAKE FORTUNES
in FISH TRADE
Shippers Operating Out of
Hull Are Doing
Big Business

Hull, England, May 9.-Fortunes
from fish are being piled up by
shippers operating out of Hull All
through the war their profits were
so tremendous that they now consti-
tute a kind of local plutocracy.
They have town houses and country
houses and garages filled with mo-
tor cars.
There are about ninety shippers
working their vessels out of this
port. The majority are rough sail
ors, with a rule-of-thumb knowledge
of navigation, and curious ideas
about the best way to spend their
huge earnings.
For several years many of them
have been netting from $4,000 to
$4,000 annually. One is said to
have averaged close on to 100000.
A record is held by the skipper
of a trawler which last fall made
the Iceland voyage twice within six
weeks returning from the first trip

CHANGES FOR
TRACTOR BILL
Highway Department Would
Except Agricultural
Machines

The State Highway Department
has recommended certain changes in
Senate Bill No. 796, which amends
the traction engine law of June s,
1915. These changes correct objec-
tions to the measure raised by agri-
cultural interests at a hearing held
by the House roads committee Tues
day.
The Highway Department suggests
that agricultural implements be ex-
cepted in the clause which provides
that no traction engine, trailer or
other vehicle shall be moved over
any highway or bridge in excess of
IA tons vehicle and load COM
bined. nor shall any such engine.
vehicle or contrivance be
moved which has any flange.
revolving belts or chains, ribs,
clamps and cleats."
The changes suggested by the
Highway Department would except
from the provisions of this clause
all agricultural implements, such as
grass mowers, binders, manure
spreaders. hay leaders. hay rakes.
grain drills, potato planters, etc"
Another change would permit the
operation of caterpillar tractors. an
added provision declaring that the
caterpillar or crawler type of trac-
tors may operate with such modifi-
cations as the State Highway Com
missioner may prescribe, with cleats
at right angles to the axis of the
machine five or more cleats to be in
road contact at the same time"
The bill excludes from the pro-
visions of the act all agricultural
trailerS such as farm machinery,
water or coal wagons, or similar We
hicles. insofar as charges for Ii
censes are concerned.
1t is suggested that the provision
that all tractors not equipped so as
to conform with the requirements of
the act must comply with regulations
prior to November 1, 1919. be
changed so as to extend the time to
January 1. 1920, the Highway De-
partment believing that this extern
sion is only fair to the interests in
VolVed.

seventeen days.

1t is gamble against time, for
when the trawlers now engaged in
mtne-sweeping are released from
that work the fishing fleet here will
be tripled and fish profits will drop
accordingly.
