CIGARMAKERS HOLD STATE CONFERENCE
 IN LANCASTER. PA.
International Union Conference Held Last Sunday Proves Success
 in Every Way.

Lancaster, Pa, Nov. I7.-The. state conference of the Cigarmakers' Inter- national Union, held in Canassatego Hall, on Sunday last, proved decided success in every way. A number of the highest officials of the interna- t1onaf union were present, as well as over z5 per cent of the delegates, who came from all parts of the state, the only ones not in attendance being a few from the extreme western parts. The conference took on the form of the freindly round table talks and an exceptional spirit of harmony unanimity prevailed in all discussions.
 As the conference was held strictly in the interests of the state body. there is ittle- regarding the proceed ings that can be made public. Con- d1tlons in the industry as found in the various parts of the state were discussed, and were found in many instances to be deplorable, especially in Philadelphia, where sanitary ar engagements are said to be far from what they should be. A committee was appointed, of which the interna- tional president IS member, to make an effort to more thoroughly organ ize all cigarmakers and tobacco wc-ll--- CTS of the state, and a strenuous cam paign of organization. will soon be under way It was also resolved to make a special effort to boost the union label and the sale of union made goods, and while this naturally applies in the first instance to the product fthe cigarmakers, the de- mand for the label in other lines of trade Is not to be overlooked

ing that such reports are studied only little, if at all, they ignore them, albeit they are compiled from their own sworn statements and show pro-. fits exceeding three million dollars a day; approximately four millions, they depend more on the pamphlets of transformation with which the shelves are filled to overfowing, while they call for and receive advances" of millions from the treasury of the United States as compensation for operating losses"
 "ColoneP James A. McCrea, of the Pennsylvania lines, speaking before the Pittsburgh Chamber of Com merce, March Is, 1922, declared that flor TO years, or even more, the rail- roads of this country have been sys- tematically starved as to their rev. enues, restricted as to their expenses, and the management of their proper ties taken out of the hands of the responsible managing officers" Frank A. Munsey, proprietor of the New York Herald, was singing the same song prior to the war. MT Munsey said: (See Munsey's Magazine for April, IoI4) "by starving the railroads we starve with them"
  tic course of transformation, Senator Kellogg, of Minnesota, declares on the floor of the Senate of the United States, that the operating expenses of the railroads, plus the interest on the bonds, are sixty millions year" greater than the operating income.
 Surely, the Guaranty Trust Com pany of New York, has suggested the proper remedy for the general ignor- ance of the subject (due to misin- formation) which prevails. We quote: "The keynote of the hour is national unity. In unity of interest and spirit the railroad situation must be ap- preached by representatives of all classes and sections in order that this fundame ntal economic problem Tn which the prosperity of all is involved, may be settled along right lines in fairness to all for the common good
 We quote further from the same booklet: "In the various problems af- fecting the railroads of the United States today (and always) the whole business organism of the country industrial, commercial, and hnancial-- is involved, and an understanding ot these problems on the part of the general public is obviously essential to their proper solution.

CORONA HAS WEALTH OF MUSICAL TALENT
 SAYS MRS. HUBERT

Not many towns the size of Cor dova can boast of the wealth of musi- cal talent that we have" today de clared Mrs. T. N. Hubbert, who is di- recting the musical program of the concert and play to be given Decem- Der l, under the auspices of the local Ladies' Aid Society.
 For example, how many towns in Alaska have an orchestra and band, comprising approximately twenty five instrumental pieces?" Mrs. Hub bert asked Mot all finished players, of course, but most of them improv- ing themselves as time passes"
 Then, too, we have an abundance of vocal talent, considering the popula- tion of the town" she continued. "This is evidenced by our church choirs, one alone of which has twelve voices, and also by the varied musical num- bers that have been given at local en- tertainments and shows during the
 : V t ' past year or so. tI
 ''It therefore has not been difficult to obtain material for the musical part of the entertainment we are giving December l. The program will not be long, and our problem has resolved itself into that of selecting the best material suitable for a balanced pro- gram. lt
 "The orchestra, under the direction of Will Smith, is working hard at It's number. and members of the double quartette are gathering almost daily to master their selections.
 Songs by the double quartette, com posed of four male and four female voices, will form the greater part of the program. There are some fine voices in the quartette and it has some splendid songs. .if If no i'll fortune occurs, we are hopeful that the entire musical pro- gram will be, as wit in the quartette very aptly put it, a bowling success"
