rAY IT with music! This idea occurred
- to the Pullman company in casting about
A$ for means Of providing recreation for
family Of 5000 porters. These porters
are an indispensable factor in assuring COM
fort and contentment to passengers. It is Of
Importance, too, that they should not be merely
porters, but courteous porters, smiling porters,
happy porters. So the Pullman company
looked about for something TO offset the lure
Of the poolroom as well as for something TO
cure few cases of chronic crouch.
Several officials had overheard strains of
plantation melodies floating through sleeping
cars as the men made up berths for the night.
Some of the voices were mellow.
Fine old tunes" commented one potentate.
"I'll say they are" replied another.
Some Of our boys have sweet voices, too,'

ssWhy not do something about t?" suggested
No. /.
'Why not get up q Pullman porters'

"Let's have hand and an orchestra, too"
urged No. 8, all agog with enthusiasm. aIll
or a fiddle or cornet OF something
So operations started The boys were
consulted. They were thrilled at the idea.
The Pullman company divides the United
States into eight zones. The Chicago district
was the first to organize. This was in April.
The men, divided into units of four and eight,
with leaders, meet every Saturday and Sunday
at the negro Y. M. C. A. Next came Wash
ington, then Philadelphia and finally New
York fell In line. Preliminary work is now
going on in the four other zones.
It was not intended, however, that the Pull
man Porters' Chorus should be an organiza-
tion devoted merely to club-like sociability.
There were to be educational advantages as
well. To this end the Pullman company en-
listed the services of leading negro musician,
Major N. Clark Smith, who organized the
zones ON the basis Of miniature Conservatives
Of music. Each member Of band, orchestra
Dr. chorus possesses q weekly report card,
which is filled out, while the company in turn
keeps ON file card bearing each members

and execution.

quiries came in from readers. They wanted
to know what was the matter and why they
hadn't got their copies of "The Pennsylvania
News" So continuous were the inquiries that
1t became necessary at last for the editor to
send brief explanatory statement to the gem
eral Office switchboard, which was read to all
inquirers.
"The Pennsylvania News" of the northwest

sion, a row between the majors and
the minors blossomed out today at
the start OF the second session OF the
minor league meeting
Implements OF war were assem-
bled when II was learned the major
leagues were going to ask the ap-
prevail of the minor league own
ers TO increase their option list TO
twenty-five players and their player
list 10 fifty.
Each Would Own Seventy-Ffve
This would mean that each major
league club would have its hands on
,seventy-five players during the off
season. The objection Of the minors
10 this Arrangement was put In words
by one minor league president. who
said: with sixteen major league
clubs each having property rights on
seventy-hve players. the minor
leagues would have nothing but the
ball parks.
The Rochester club OF the Interna.
tional League has a plan to sub
stitute for the draft, and II It
is not submitted at this meet
ing it will be proposed at the meeting
OF the International League next
week in New York.
The Rochester officials are in favor
of a plan whereby a player who has
