In a joint statement calling on all members of organized labor to contribute generously to the campaign, the leaders expressed confidence that the continued research of the American Cancer Society is leading toward the goal of control. The leaders are serving on the advisory campaign committee of the society's Philadelphia division.

1ST OF LEADERS They are Henry F. Shipherd, presi dent of the Industrial Union Council (CIO) Joseph A. McDonough, business manager of the Central Labor Union (AFL) Walter B. Woodward, representing Operating Railroad Brotherhoods, and Judson Sawn, representing Non-Operating Brotherhoods. "Each year finds us nearer to the ultimate goal of final and effective control of that dreaded disease, cancer, which takes the lives of so many of the working men and women of this country," the statement pointed out.

'PRI3IARILY RESEARCH' "It is primarily the continued research done by the American Cancer Society which is leading us toward our goal. "We, therefore, urge all members of organized labor to cooperate generously in the 1950 Cancer fund drive, because we feel that the work of this organization will mean much to all of our people." The Cancer Crusade in Philadelphia and Montgomery counties has a goal of $500,000. It continues through this month, which has been designated by Congress as "Cancer Control Month." As the labor leaders here pleaded for support for the drive, Secretary of Labor Maurice J. Tobin and national heads of various unions also appealed for support, stressing that it is an opportunity for all citizens to aid, Momre to 1 Their Art at Contest Here THE men who "consider it a privilege," and mho have "just been reminded of a story" and who "wish to add just one more word" in short, the men who introduce the men who "really need no introduction" will get together tonight under the most core in ILoeal lirieffs Fires A blaze in the basement of the drug store occupied by Edward Pris-ker, at 29th and Reed yesterday damaged a quantity of stock before it was extinguished.

and 18th and Locust conjunction with the Del aware River High Speed Line, will be opened today and tomorrow Mavnr Bernard Samuel an nounced that bids on steel rails will be received today and that bids on track ties will be received tomorrow. He added that plans and specifications for electric power and lighting facilities, pumos. sewer ejectors, a signal system, the finishing of stations, plumbing and station control pmiinment are beine prepared. The estimated cost of completing the subway, which is expectea to De in operation in about 18 months, is $2,000,000. EXTENDS 5667 FEET CAtv Hnnrnril orisrinallv authorized the construction of a subway from 8th and Ranstead sts.

to 49th st. ana Woodland ave. Only one section- extending 5667 feet, or sngntiy more than a mile, to 18th and Locust sts. has been built. It was completed, aside from the above-mentioned work, in June, 1933.

Mayor Samuel pointed out that the first link, which connects with the bridge line at 8th and Market "will greatly relieve the ever-tncreasing east-west traffic congestion in the central business district."

The diversion of 2,000,000 persons a year to the span's high speed line and the Locust st. link, he contended, will "result in a corresponding reduction in the bus traffic, which now causes major congestion" on Market st.

STARTS ON SECOND FLOOR The fire started shortly before 6 A. M. in a second floor apartment occupied by Eugene Reilly, 39, and his wife, Mary, 34.

Mrs. Reilly ran to the fire escape and screamed for help. She and her husband then made their way safely into the back yard. In the meantime, Charles Prit-chard, of 4807 Chestnut telephoned an alarm. A moment later, Patrolmen Bernard Goldstein and Harry Huhn, cruising in a red car, arrived at the scene and made an attempt to reach the second floor to rescue the trapped occupants.

They were forced back by smoke and flames half way up the stairs. WOMAN DROPS FROM SILL About the same time, Mrs. Hoban lowered herself out the window and clung to the sill for a few minutes, then lost her grip and dropped nearly 20 feet into a side areaway. She -was taken to Misericordia Hospital, where physicians said she suffered hip, pelvic and other injuries. Mrs.

Blackwell, who lives in the Spruce Manor Apartments, 44th and Spruce was Mrs. Hoban's guest for the night. The visitor ran into the hallway and tried to make her way down the staircase, but was forced to retreat. Firemen found her in a semi-conscious condition stretched across the bed in her friend's apartment. GUEST BADLY BURNED Mrs.

Blackwell was taken to Presbyterian Hospital, where physicians said the upper part of her body was badly burned. Her condition was described as critical. Charles Moffett, who also occupies an apartment on the second floor, reached safety by climbing down a ladder raised by firemen. Moffett said that when he opened his apartment door he found the hall filled with smoke and flames. He banged the door shut and remained near a window until firemen arrived.

He declined to leave the burning building until firemen had rescued Mrs. Blackwell. The blaze spread so rapidly that additional fire companies had to be summoned to help quell the flames. HURT CARRYING HOSE Battalion Chief Grady and Lad-derman McFeely were hurt while they carried hose lines into the two-story structure. They were also treated at Misericordia Hospital.

William Berkowitz, his wife, Anna, and their two sons, Bernard and Paul, occupants of the first floor, made their way safely into the street. More than a dozen occupants at 4807 Chestnut st. were forced out of their apartments when smoke from the burning building seeped through. At 4803 Chestnut st. Herman Rathoff and members of his family were also forced into the street.

Early morning traffic on Chestnut st. was rerouted for nearly an hour until the fire was under control.

"Seventy-five percent of the case closings were the result of income from employment by a member of the case," Robbins said.
