STEELTON
Y.M.C.A.DRIVE
IS SUCCESSFUL
. •
Borough Expected Now to
Oversubscribe Its Quota
to War Fund
According to the reports coming
in to-day Steelton will oversubscribe
its quota for the Y. M. C. A. Some
p redict that the quota of $6,000 may
even be doubled. On Saturday night
B. C. Becker, treasurer of the local
campaign fund, placed the total con
tributions at $5,850, but the com
mittemen who informally sent in re
ports to-day thought that it is safe
to announce a doubling of the quota.
Twenty-two men of the'commlttee of
100 remain to be heard from, and
the rumor to-day was that some of
them had a record number of sub
scriptions.
A local military reserve is the cry
now for the borough. The matter will
be practically taken up to-morrow
evening in the store of \V. F. Magln
nis, North Front street, by the fol
lowing committees:
Municipal League: C. W. McCoy,
W. F. Maginnls, D. C. Becker, C. E.
Brinser, J. B. Malehorn and E. C.
Henderson; Businessmen's Associa
tion: Ralph Eckels. D. P. Baker, B.

Steel Companies Are
Making More Sales
New York, Nov. 19.—That steel
companies are now making sales
more readily to distributors and are
accepting manufacturers' contracts
for deliveries in two to three months
is taken as a propitious sign for the
trade in general. The consumers
have been held at arm's length for a
long time while prices of various
products were being adjusted. The
mills aro now in a better condition
to fill the so-called peace orders,
without placing in jeopardy the
prompt execution of cflntracts wheth
er such demands come directly .or
indirectly from the goveriMnent.
Steel fabricators still remain dis
satisfied because verbal orders from
shipyards are ty>t being followed
promptly by official contracts swid
many large orders are going to Can
adian shops while establishments in
this country are in need of busi
fftess.

PENNSY LIBERAL
TO ALL EMPLOYES
Grant Furloughs and Will
Help All Men Called
to War Duty
Announcement is made from Al
toona that the Pennsylvania Rail
road will take care of all employes
past and future who have been or
may be called for war duty. This 1
means the new men Who are now
being hired to help out in the short
age of men In various departments.
It promises to be a big help in get
ting new men, according to official
belief. The Altoona Mirror says:
"Reports have gotten in circulation
that only men in the service of the
railroad company for a considerable
time would be granted furloughs on
enlisting, with their jobs to be kept
open for them until they return after
the war; but it was stated at the gen
eral offices of the company to-day |
that length of service had nothing to
do with the granting of a furlough.
Furlough* Granted
Ever since the waP began the
Pennsy has granted furloughs to all
its employes who enter the Govern
ment service, whether in the actual
Army, Navy or Marine Corps, or in
any oth?r branch of War Department
energy, and this policy will be con
tinued throughout the war. Even it
a man has only worked for a very
brief period for the company, his job
will be open for him when he comes
back.
Iu addition to the jobs being kept
open, the Pennsy will pay the relief
department fees of all men who enter
Uncle Sam's service, as long as the
Government requires them, so that
no employe will lose his insurance or
benefits in the relief by enlisting or
being drafted.

SHIPPING DAY
IN NEW FIELDS
Pennsy Inaugurates System in
New'Gersey Territory; Issues
Guides and Posters
Pennsylvania railroad freight offi
cials to-day completed the revision
of its methods of handling less than
carload freight, extending it to all
lines in Northern New Jersey. To
day the "shipping day" or "sailing ,
date" plan, yrliich has been already |
established in New York, Philadel
phia, Buffalo and Baltimore, was
Inaugurated at Trenton, Philllpsburg,
Kaston, Bristol, New Brunswick and
other stations on the New York and
New Jersey divisions.
The custom of accepting freight in
less than carload lots indiscriminate
ly at all stations, or at any time of
the day, for shipment to any point,
will be discontinued. Under the new
plan, which will be substituted in its
place, freight destined for various
points will be accepted only at specl.
fied stations and on designated days.
Futhermore, closing hours will be es
tablished at the various stations,
ranging from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock
p. m., after which freight will not
be accepted for shipment.
Helps In Transfer
The purpose of the "shipping day"
or "sailing date" plan. Is to eliminate
as far as possible the rehandling of
freight at transfer stations, and,
whenever practicable, to consolidate
less than carload freight into full
carloads at the point of origin. This
will reduce the tijne that freights Is
in transit. It will increase the num
ber of ears available for both com
mercial freight and government sup
plies, enlarge the capacity of the
whole railroad plant, release track
age and locomotives for troop move
ments and greatly lessen the liabil
ity of loss and damage to merchan
dise by eliminating rehandling after
the car is once loaded.
"Shipping day" guides have been
prepared for Trenton, Phlllipsburg,
Easton, Bristol and New Brunswick.
For the other stations In this ter
ritory posters containing specific
schedules fo reach individual station
have been issued. These guides and
posters give complete information as
to the days on which freight will be
accepted at any particular station,
for all parts of the United States and
Canada, as well as the closing hour
at each station for various points
of destination.
Inquiries Numerous on
Recent Coal Saving Record
Passenger Engineer Qrafton Brake
and his fireman, P. L. Smith, have
received invitations from York, Ban
caster, Reading and Altoona for
timely talks on coal conservation.
These men were on the Pennsy en
gine last week that brought a train
from Altoona to Harrisburg on 214
shovels of coal-. The record was given
wide publicity and since thut time j
many engineinen and firemen are
anxious to learn how it was ac
complished. On the Middle division
the general belief is that a much bet
ter record is in sight with good coal.

RULING MADE IN

Board Will Rescind Action on
Agreements in Interstate
and Maritime Cases
A nnouncement
V\ \ ® //A that the State
<\ \ \ com p en s atlon
Board will rescind
VWr c omp en s atlon
agreements when
WJWnßnrtV; 11 appears that the
I -lOlfflwlWlMLf Parties thereto
I mfluullffl nre en K a &ed in in
merce or in mari
time business is
made by the State Board In an opin
ion in a Philadelphia case wherein it
was shown that such conditions ex
ist. The statement is made "It may
be that the Board cannot cancel an
agreement voluntarily entered into
between the parties for the payment
of compensation on account of injury
to an employe while engaged in
maritime pursuits and declare the
agreement as such of no binding
force and effect by reason of ignor
nnce or misapprehension of law on
the part of either party to the con
tract, but we |think tho Board can
and ought to rescind Its approval of
a compensation agreement, as such
when it is made to appear that the
State Workmen's Compensation
Board had no jurisdiction over the
contract of service between the em
ployer and employe nor of the-oc
cupation In which the employe's in
jury was suffered at the time of its
approval of the same."
Notice to insurance carriers in
compensation cases to use care In
appeals is given in a decision ren
dered in a coal mining case in which
a man while cutting weeds and vines
at the mouth of a mine came in con
tact with poison ivy and lost the sight
of an eye.. The insurance carrier con
tended that it had no notice and the
Board says "It is not clear from the
record that the insurance carrier put
itself in position to complain. The
appeal is taken by it and not by the
defendant and there does not appear
to be any power of attorney on file
or anything to show its right to com
plain. Besides the mere fact that
the defendant carrier may not have
been notified by the bureau or that
the defendant itself failed to advise
its insurance carrier Is not sufficient
ground to reverse the award and
findings of the referee."
"Made In Germany."—Officials of
the State Department of Agriculture
who have been investigating the pine
blister rust, which has ravaged half
a dozen states and which Pennsyl
vania Is making strenuous efforts to
keep out of this commonwealth, be
eve that the outbreaks in two coun
ties are directly traceable to Ger
man exportation of infected stoc # k
which could not be sold within the
empire. In both instances the stock
where the disease appeared came
from Germany, Hamburg being said
to be the point where it was started
for thUp country. The points are in
Berks and Cambria counties and the
trail has gone to a nursery which the
German government had refused to
allow to sell in that country. The
pine blister rust has done an im
mense amount of damage in other
•Utea and the state Is spending many
dollars in an effort to localize the
outbreak in Pennsylvania. Hundreds
of trees have been cut down and
burned.

You need not stretch your imagination to
believe this "Live Store" was busy Saturday Seems
like everybody is going to the "Overcoat Fair" and it's not by accident
that we have attained the enviable position of the Leading Clothing
Store throughout Central Pennsylvania.
I Our business has grown to immense proportions
. because the majority of men have become aware that here is a store
whose word and whose merchandise are absolutely dependable, and they can always
come HERE and find a larger stock and wide variety of better looking, better fitting,
better wearing clothes than equal money will bring them anywhere else. - v ,
Why is it that there's so much talk about this
"Live Store" among other merchants? Unconsciously or
otherwsie, (mostly otherwise) you'll find them talking about DOUT
RICHS and wondering "How We Do It" but without considering
the "How" the mere fact that WE DO HAVE and HOLD such a large
and every increasing proportion of loyal and satisfied customers, would
seem pretty conclusive evidence that square-dealing and honest rep-
Iresentation count for a great deal.
Come here and try this Dependable Doutrich Serv
ice, visit the store during the "Overcoat Fair" You'll find a huge col
lection of Overcoats, so vast, it will amaze you and when you see the greater values
made possible through buying such immense quantities, you'll need no invita
