tightly about McCray that the diver
was unable to reach the knife he
carried for protection. When one
tentacle threatened to cut off the air

do not anticipate government
ownership of railroads in the United
States because that would inevitably
bring government operation, which
means mismanagement and use for
political purposes.
There is a growing recognition of
the truth that railroad rate making
is largely a commercial matter, and,
in order to be conducted on a sound
basis must admit Of some degree of
initiative and negotiation. Conse-
Quently I rather anticipate some
changes in this direction during the
next few years.
II conditions are such that the
necessary funds can be obtained
from investors, there should be de-
cided progress in the electrification
OF railways, at such points where the
density of traffic will warrant the
capital outlay.
The much discussed motor truck
will, I believe. become an important
auxiliary of the railroad-supple-
menting rather than superseding it.
for railroads are designed to be the
wholesale carriers - 10 perform
the heavy bulk service. especially
over long distances. Motor trans
port, it would seem. is destined
chiefly for the retail or local field.
Marvellous scientific progress has
been made in air transport. but
neither in the matter of carrying
or freight does it seem
probable that this method of trans
portation will for many years seri-
ously invade the field of land or
water large-scale transport.
Broadly speaking, the great prob /
lem Of the future will be to provide |
road and terminal facilities for the |
proper handling of the immense vol /
lme of traffic which we have every |
reason to anticipate.

CHURCH LEAGUE
SHAKE-UP LIKELY

Two games scheduled for this
week in the Church League will
probably make change in the Off
cial standings. Cookman and Mt.
Salem will meet tonight at Baynard
No. 1. Mt. Salem will be out strong
in order to spring a surprise on the
runner-up, and should they do this
it would increase the leaders
chances. Grace will meet the Bran
dywine leaders on Friday at Twenty
ninth and Market street. This game
will be the stellar attraction of the
week depending on the outcome OF
Cookman-Mt. Salem game.
The Second Division has a draw
ing card in the game between Ep-
worth and McCabe for Tuesday eve
ming at Rockford No 2. Both teams
will be primed for a battle royal.

BY SAMUEL REA
President, PENNSYLVANIA Railroad


In so fundamental an industry as
transportation no question tran
scends in importance that of rela-
tions between the companies and
;, their employees. And If my judg-
iment is correct. the coming years
will witness a decided trend toward
the decentralization of machinery
for settling disputed questions. and
the adoption of the sounder methods
of direct bargaining between COM
panies and their working forces.
Our own road and its men have
already taken the leadership in this
question, and there has been sue
cessfully set up a workable-and
working-plan Of employe represen-
.tation for the adjustment of contro-
versial matters.
Unions will continue to exist, and
they can do much good under wise
leadership which appreciates fnan-
cial and economic necessities. Direct
bargaining between the separate
managements and their own men, is,
generally speaking, the correct
method.
Our employe representation plan
on the Pennsylvania system is pure
collective bargaining. and IT is rea-
sonable to believe that this method
OF wage adjustment, with more per-
sonal relations between management
and working forces, will in time
gam broader acceptance and use.

The play again sent its thrilling

members of the company.
The story is so mysterious and
nerve-tensing that 1t grips the aud

While the show is shrouded with
wraith-like mystery, at the same 4
time It is punctuated with comedy
to relieve the tension and many
laughs are enjoyed to divert the
audience from the situations.
Perhaps the most interesting part |
in the story Is that the mystery con- J

given the stage. in this play. one of 4
the most sensational and dramatic

The play is so uncanny that the
authors request all who see it TO /
keep secret the story with its pull

weird situations that crowd each

through it.
All the members of the cast are
exceptionally strong. Cecil Cum

OF least trepidation or loss of conf
dence on part Of the strike leaders
or their men. The Castle was filled,
both gallery and floor. as heretofore
at such meetings; the assemblage
was entirely orderly. not a police
man being in sight and the speakers
discussed the strike situation much
the same as heretofore.
Edward r. Logan. chairman of
the advisory board of the shop
crafts, presided. With him on the
platform were members of the board
and the invited speakers. After
lcalling the meeting to order. Chair
man Logan presented William D.
Buckley. this city, international rep
resentative of the boilermakers.
Mr.. Buckley declared emphatlcal-
~. amid applause. that no power
would stop him from talking or ad-
vocating the rights OF the strikers
II may have to go TO jail, as some
others also may" he said, but that
won't stop this strike"
Mr. Buckley concluded by urging
"a continuance OF peaceful measures
and actions" on part OF all the men
involved in the strike. He declared
violence never had been advocated
but had been decried. and that the
strike already had been won through
peaceful measures.
The Rev. Howard McDade, Phila- !
delphia, principal speaker OF the
meeting, was warmly greeted by the |
audience. He proved one of the
most entertaining and fluent speak
ers that has appeared at any OF the !
strike meetings. Because OF his
eloquence and further fact he Is
member of the printers union, he
has earned the sobriquet OF the
typographical parson."
Mr.. McDade severely arraigned
the politicians OF the country and OF
Delaware, declaring they were at the
bottom OF the present industrial trou-
oles.
Promises have been made and
broken by politicians right and left"
ne said They say the principal
product Of Delaware is politicians.
