President's Proolamat lon
The presidential proclamation, is
-sued late Saturday afternoon follows:
"Whereas, the Congress of the.
Vpited States, by a concurrent reso
lution adopted on the fourth day of
the present month of October in
view of the entrance of our nation
into the vast and awful war, which
now atllicts the greater part of the
world, has requested me to set apart
by official proclamation a day upon
which our people should be called
Upon to offer concerted prayer to
Almighty God for His divine aid in
'the successes of our arms; and
"Whereas, it behooves a great
*free people nurtured as we have
"been in the eternal principles of
justice and of right, a nation which
has sought from the earliest days of
'its existence to be obedient to the
divine teachings which have in
spired it in the exercise of its lib
erties, to turn always to the Su-,
preme Master and cast themselves
in faith at His feet, praying for His
aid and succor in every hour of
trial, to the end that the great arms
to which our fathers dedicated our
power as a people may not perish
among men, but be always asserted
and defended with fresh ardor and
devotion and, through the divine
blessing, set at last upon enduring |
foundations for the benefit of all thej
free peoples of the earth.
"Now, therefore, 1 Woodrow
Wilson, President of the United I
States, gladly responding to the
wish expressed by the Congress, do
appoint October 28, being the last!
Sunday of the present month, as a|
day of supplication and prayer for
all the people of the nation, earn
estly exhorting all my countrymen
to observe the appointed day ac
cording to their several faiths, in
solemn prayer that God's blessing
may rest upon the high task which
is laid upon us, to the end that thej
cause for which we give our lives
and treasure may triumph and our
efforts be blessed with high achieve
ment."

v MONDAY EVENING,
LOCAL TRAINMEN
FAVOR INCREASE
To Vote at Early Date on In
crease of Twenty
Per Cent.
I.ocal trainmen are favorable to
the proposed wage Increase to come
after January 1. While no action
will be taken until plans are com
pleted and presented to the various
lodges, railroaders believe that tho
recent action of the International
Association at Ottawa will meet high
living cost conditions. The men will
await orders from officials higher up
before taking action.
The workers involved in the
movement for higher wages ar&
members of the Brotherhood of Rail
load Trainmen and the Order of
Railway Conductors and the de
mands will come first from passen
ger department employes. They were
not affected by the application of the
Adamson law, establishing an eight
hour dav for railroad workers,
adopted last March to avert a nation
wide strike of 500,000 railroad men.
The passenger service men are paid
by the run. or mile. A New York
dispatch says:
"Whenever new demands were dis
cussed among the workers, determi
nation was expressed.
l*rt'vions Demands
"The last previous demands of the
four Brotherhoods resulted front a
conference in Chicago in June. 1915.
In December the Brotherhoods met
and formulated the demands for an
eight-hour day. Conferences with
the railroad general managers failed.
The first strike ballot was sent out
January 10, 1916. The vote was can
vassed in March. By an overwhelm
ing majority it called for a general
strike, leaving the time to be deter
mined by the chiefs.
"Further conferences followed and
failed. On the eve of the impend
ing strike, with orders actually is
sued to the half million men to go
out, President Wilson summoned the
presidents of the larger railroads to
Washington for a conference.
Adamson I.a w Framed
"The Adamson law was framed,
and on September 3. 1916, the strike
order was recalled, six hours before
it was to go into effect.
"On March 19. 1917, after a con
ference between the contending
parties and Franklin K. Lane at the
Biltmore Hotel, .the railroad man
agers granted the eight-hour day.
The strike was called off.
"Three months ago rumors of dis
satisfaction with present rates of
pay in the railroad service, with the
cost of living rising began and
spread. The prospect of another
general railroad strike menace has
increased steadily since then, cul
minating in the unanimous vote of
the general chairmen of two of the
brotherhoods for the wage increase
resolution published a few days
ago."
Old Railroad Roadbed
to Be State Highway
Scranton. Pa.. Oct. 22.—A state
highway that will pass through a
long tunnel under a mountain and
that will he the only road of its kind
in the world, is likely to be con
structed Just north of Scranton, in
the near future, by the Pennsylvania
State Highway Department. Business
men, farmers, autoists and civic or
ganizations of northeastern Pennsyl
vania are backing the project, and
the state highway engineers are
favorable to it.
The highway would occupy more
than twenty miles of railroad bed
abandoned a few years agro by the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad when it built a cutoff. It
would eliminate steep grades and
would have a foundation that would
endure for ages. Crushed stone is
piled high along the right of way
and surfacing is the onlj work need
ed to be done. The tunnel would be
lighted from a power plant at Nich
olson, a mile from Its northerly end.
The route Is part of the shortest
route from New York to Buffalo.
Big Four Brotherhoods
Will Ask Wage Increase
New York, Oct. 22.—1n addition to
the demands recently made by pas
•"fnger trainmen on eastern railroads
for increased pay, the "big four"
brotherhoods will shortly ask for
higher pay for the freight and yard
men. according to unofficial reports
irculated in railroad circles here.
The reasons which the brotherhood
chiefs will give for asking for the in
crease will be the high cost of living
and advances in wages in other lines
of industry, it is said.
President A. T. Dice
Tells of Freight Increase
President A. T. Dice, of the Read
ing, is quoted as saying that by In
creasing the average load 6.02 tons
on 35,863 coal cars loaded on the
Reading system there was effected
during August a saving of 6,760 coal
cars. By heavier loading on other
cars 10,901 other freight cars were
saved. There was more freight to
amount of 329,701 tons loaded, with
9.153 fewer cars used.
Veteran Conductor Dies;

CITY FACES MOST
SERIOUS SUGAR FAMINE
[Continued from First Page.]
establishments when the present
supply of sugar is exhausted.
•Don't Hoard
Don't hoard sugar. This is the ad
vice of wholesalers <ind retailers
throughout Harrisburg to-day. Buy
enough sugar to last you two or
three days. Then, on Wednesday or
Thursday, buy a little more. Don't
hoard sugar Such a course at this
time is both foolish and unpatriotic.
Above all else, Harrisburg house
wives are urged to save, t'se less
sugar. Plan the menu so that less
sugar will, be required. Instead of
cocoa or chocolate, use a beverage
requiring less sugar. Use less pastries
and rich puddings. So often is the
housewife called upon to conserve
that she is likely to pass by an item
of this nature with a smile.
Hand to Mouth Supply
This is no laughing matter, how
ever. To-day there is scarcely
enough sugar in Harrisburg whole
sale houses to supply to-day's needs.
This doesn't mean that there Is less
than a day's supply in the city. Many
retailers have on hand a fair sup
ply, and will be able to take care
of their trade under normal condi
tions, but as conditions exist, there
is less than a normal day's supply
of sugar in the wholesale houses of
Harrisburg. 0
More than that, there is.no sugar
in sight
In an endeavor to help out, the
Food Administration Sugar Distrib
uting Committee has wired whole
salers that orders for carload lots
of western sugar will be accepted at
once. Under present conditions, it
may require three or even four
weeks to move the sugar from Col
orado and other western states to
this section, and while the price in
carload lots next is $7.25 a hundred
w eight that does not mean 7>4 cents
a pound here.
The Evans-Burtnett Company has
on hand to-day about 150 bags of
sugar. For three weeks this com
pany. anticipating the present short
age, has refused to sell any one cus
tomer more than one bag of sugar
per day. Ordinarily the supply In
stock consists of from 1,000 to 2,000
bags.
Use Soft Brown
An effort will be made to substi
tute soft brown sugar, but dealers
say that the supply of this gade is
also very limited. Many persons will
not use brown sugar unless com
pelled to do so. The price of brown
sugar will be almost equal to that
of granulated.
In Harrisburg comparatively few
few retailers are in position to sell
sugar in any amount desired. The
Acme stores, of this city, do not do,
pend upon the local wholesalers, and
are selling to regular customers in
any desired amount up to twenty-
I five pounds. Most retailers in this
I city have limited the amount of
sranulated sugar that may be pur
chased by any person In one day to
two pounds. Some have placed the
limit at one pound. One big store
will not sell sugar unless the cus
tomer purchases not less than the
value of the sugar In other com
modities. This is done to prevent at
tempts to hoard.
The scarcity of cane sugar may be
attributed, in part at least, to th<
fact that England has purchased
vast quantities of the raw material
in Cuba. Beet sugar is not yet on
the market, and the announcement
that the Administration Sugar Dis
tributing Committee is ready to ac
cept orders for immediate attention,
comes as a surprise to dealers here.
May Not Go Alove 10 Cents
Most retailers in Harrisburg are
selling sugar to-day at nine and a
half cents a pound. Some dealers
are asking ten cenUi While the
Food Administrator is not in a po
sition to regulate the price charged
by retailers, there is a tacit under
standing that the price will not
mount above ten cents. When beet
sugar is received here the price
should drop to nine cents per pound,
it is said.
The telegram from the Food Ad
ministration Sug a r Distributing
Committee to Frank A. Smith, head
of the Harrisburg Brokerage Com
pany is as follows:
"Food Administration, Sugar
Distributing Committee of Chicago
authorises public announcement to
press that quotation Beet Sugar In
dustry will come to rescue; of >.'CAV
Kngland and North Atlantic • States,
east of Buffalo, Pittsburgh and north
of and including Baltimore, during
the existing exhaustion of canc sup
plies. Shipments will commence
immediately upon all operating
beet sugar factories. Owing to ex
tremely difficult transporation con
ditions. necessary limit offerings only
to manufacturers and Jobbing trade
in such communities as entirely
without sugar. Furthermore, manu
facturers of candy, gum. syrup, cor
dials and all other food luxuries
teommmmG telegraph
must be sevrely restricted, allowing
only sufficient supplies to operate at
greatly reduced capuclty. All manu
facturers of food supplies must have
preference, according to necessity of
their products for public and allied
matters, condensed milk manufac
turers coming first. Strictly, ac
cording to foregoing, sugars, offers
subject to confirmation., beet granu
lated, bags only, cars loaded tot
capacity, specifying ear lots instead
of quantities, $7.25 basis, sight draft
against bill of lading, payable on ar
rival of car, shipment in turn, as
soon as possible."
The price quoted, $7.25 per hun
dred pounds, does not include freight
charges, but is the price f. o. b. the
shippign point. Nor does it include
other incidental expenses, so that
retailers will add considerable to
cove rexpenses and profits.
Many of the big baking concerns
of this city do n.ot have sufficient
sugar to supply their needs during
the coming week. Bernard Schmidt
stated this morning that the Schmidt
bakery, the Harrisburg Making
Company and the Acme Baking
Company have less than a week's
supply of sugar on hands. Others
are in much the same boat. Unless
a supply can be obtained at once, it
will be necessary to eliminate cakes
and pastry until conditions improve.
Bakeries Will Have to Close
The Standard Baking Company,
the West Shore Bakery and other
concerns are similarly situated. Some
bakers make the statement that they
will be compelled to discontinue the
baking of bread unless a supply of
sugar is speedily available.
The D. Bacon Company, whole
sale candy manufacturers, is more
fortunate than most concerns, as it
has in stock sufficient sugar to meet
needs for five or six weeks. Beet
sugar can not be used in the manu
facture of candies. Candy manu
facturers who have a supply of
sugar on hand will not take advan
tage of the situation, it is ann.ounced,
but will sell their product at the
normal price.

Planning Commission
Will Approve Valley
Terminal Plans Tonight
The City Planning Commission will
meet this evening to take oflicial ac
tion on the ordinance providing lor
doubletracking of Walnut street by
the Valley Railways Company, with
turnouts into the proposed terminal
building to be erected at Itiver and
Walnut streets.
The ordinance probably will not be
called for final passage by Council
to-morrow, as it has not been printed.
It is believed the Planning Commis
sion will approve the measure, as the
changes it provides were approved
when tentative plans were first con
sidered.
NOTES OF THE
LOAN CAMPAIGN
Governor Brumbaugh will pre
side at the Hillis meeting in the
Chestnut Street Auditorium on
Wednesday night.
The Hillis meeting, incidental
ly. is wide open. The women, of
Harrisburg are as welcome as the
men. The doors will open nt 7.30
The doors will open at 7.30
o'clock and the proceedings will
begin promptly at 8.
A. A. Wert has been diligently
nt work on "The Hill" for the last
few days, and in canvassing the
various departments has secured
364 subscriptions for a total of
$34,550.
A well attended meeting at
Halifax Saturday njght was ad
dressed by Oscar H. Wickersham
nnd John P. Heiner. The people
of Halifax are working hard.
The bank has made a large sub
scription : and in addition two of
its officials are making personal
canvasses.
Travelers through Harrisburg
are much taken with the Liberty
Loan banner at the Square. A
man who passed through the city
this morning after having come
overland from Chicago says that
nowhere on his trip did he come
across such a distinctive adver
tisement.
The Italians of the city will
hold a mass meeting in Chestnut
Street Auditorium Tuesday night
at 8 o'clock. If it is at all pos
sible for Governor Brumbaugh to
I'c present he will make an. ad
••s The executive "o*" ■
will ho represented by William
Jennings.
Tonight's affair in the Auditor
ium is a smoker. There will be
cigars and cigarets for the 600
campaign workers.
Harrisburg advertisers are
showing their interest in the cam
paign. by devoting a great deal of
their paid space to the Liberty
Loan. In addition they have
their stores well placarded; and
their windows are carrying the
loan story to all passersby.
The local headquarters for the
last week has been besieged with
requests from otlier portions of
the state for information as to
how local campaigns are con
ducted. Harisburg'a success in
the Liberty Loan and Red Cross
rampaigns last spring has con
veyed the idea that the system
used here must be good.
The Raemaker drawings in the
window of the Gilbert hardware
store continue to attract a great
?rowd.
The sinking of the Antilles the
other day has had some effect on
bond subscriptions in. Harrisburg.
Central and Tech High schools
continue, their loan drives. The
total subscriptions for both high
schools now amount to about
$6,000.
Essays on "Silver Bullets" con
tinue to reach M. H. James, the
