PLAN TO BUILD
Y.M.C. A. BRANCH
FOR COLORED MEN
Temporary Organization to
Provide Headquarters
When Time Is Ripe
There is considerable interest
here in the proposition to establish
a branch of the Y. M. C. A. in Har
risburg for colored members. Some
time ago a meeting of prominent
colored men was held and the offl
cers of the organization were chosen,
as follows:
President, C. Sylvester Jackson;
vice-president, Marshal Ficklln; sec
retary, Robert J. rielson; treasurer,
Frank N. Robinson.
Through Secretary Nelson a con
ference was arranged with Robert
B. Reeves, general secretary of the
Y. M. C. A., and In view of the war
conditions it was thought advisable
to postpone further action until a
general study of the whole situation
might be had. As a result of this
decision, Robert P. Hamlin, of Wash
ington, D. C., representing the col
ored men's department of the inter
national committee of the Y. M. C.
A., came to Harrisburg and made a
thorough study of the conditions
here. His report to Secretary Reeves
was as follows:
The population in 1910 was
about 5,000 and, allowing for
the numbers that have come In
since we have been in these war
conditions, 1 think we are safe
in saying that 8,000 at least are
in Harrisburg and vicinity now.
This affords an ample field for
Association work and as soon as
conditions, I think we ilre safe
recommend starting the move
ment for an association.
I found similar religious, so
cial, educational and economic
forces there as in other cities
where colored people live.
There were a few lawyers, doc- .
tors, druggists and businessmen.
A considerable number of men
were working in the Bethlehem
steel plant at Steelton who live
in Harrisburg. The Pennsyl
vania railroad employs a hun
dred or more men there in the
yards. The schools were doing
their part in educating and in
spiring the youth. Nearly 200
boys of the Association age were
in them. The churches were .
found on the alert, with an ag
gregate membership of quite
2,000. The Sunday school mem
bership was very creditable.
The poolrooms. clubs and
lodges were affording opportun
ity for social expression. The
ministers were in hearty accord
with the idea of starting work
for the men and boys, and at
least two were rather insistent
that something be launched at
once.
The meeting was well attend
ed and the whole matter of
starting work for colored men
and boys was thoroughly dis
cussed. The fact that we are
in the midst of a great world
war and that the Central As
sociation was launching its
work on a large scale and
would not be able to give any
immediate help caused us to
decide we should not attempt
anything until the conditions
were changed for the better and
the Central Association found
it possible to give some help.
We recommend that the men
continue as they are now organ
ized and hold periodic meet!
ings and form a class for the
study of principles, methods and
organization of association
work, and also to organize a
Bible class. This will afford
an opportunity for testing the
earnestness of the men and
will determine whether they
arc willing to stick to the move
ment.
In order to do the work that
will attract the men and boys
and assure success and perma
nency, I would recommend
when the time is ripe the se
curing of a strong leader, and
providing ample and well
equipped quarters. There
should be as much in the way
of income-producing features
as can be arranged for that the
work may be financed without
unnecessary strain on the com
munity. This can be best done
in an equipment modern, am
ple and planned so as to meet
the' needs of the men and boys.
I was impressed with the cali
ber of the men who compose
the temporary committee and
feel they can direct the work
when permanently organized
with success.
At the meeting of the directors of
the Harrisburg Y. M. C. A. yester
day afternoon a committee was ap
pointed to confer further with the
olicers of the proposed branch of
the local association in the interest
of the colored men. Much Interest
is being shown in the matter and it
is expected that there will be gen
erous co-operation in the movement
as soon as the time is propitious.

Mr. James H. Allen suffered for

Hickok on Job
Ross A. Hickok, fuel administrator
for Dauphin county, said that he ex
pects to see the order of the federal
administration carried out to the let
ter in Harrisburg. Mr. Hickok, whose
own plant will be closed by the or
der, interpreted the Garfield order as
meaning that every plant, shop or
factory, large or small where any in-
I dustry ia carried on. must be closed
for the five-day* period.
"It is simply the forerunner of
complete government control of coal,
as I said a few days ago," Mr. Hickok
said. "The order came over my head,
and I have nothing whatever to do
with it. It is a federal order, and will
be enforced by the federal autnori
ties. I have talked this morning to
hundreds of thos& who are effected
by the order, and find they are all
prepared to obey the mandates of the
fuel administrator's order. I don't
think there will be any trouble, and
the only failures to close will be
through misunderstandings, which
will be promptly corrected.
AH Must Obey
"The order applies to Harrisburg
in every way. All industrial establish
ments, whether working on govern
ment contracts or not, must close
according to the ruling of the edict
l'rom the national fuel administrator.

thrown out of employment, and in
dustrial activities in the city will be
tied up generally, but there is noth
ing- we can do. I shall expect every
one affected to co-operate fully.
Those who fail to co-operate will be
committing an offenso against the
federal government, and will be pun
ished. The enforcement of the edict
is not up to tne or my commission,
but 1 will most certainly report any
violations of the closing order."
Mr. Hickok, when asked what he
thought of the national fuel admin
istration's order refused to give his
opinion. He was credited in a news
paper this morning with the inten
tion of making a protest to Dr. Oar
field. "That is ridiculous," Mr. Hickok
said, "Dr. Gaiiield won't even coijsid
er or accept any protest. I think the
statement that I intended to protest
originated in some one's imagination.
It is a federal plan to save coal in
great quantities, and naturally 1 will
do all I can to co-operate with the
fedenal authorities."
Expect to Save Coal
Mr. Hickok said great quantities
of coal will bo saved In this vicinity
through the orders of the fuel ad
ministration at Washington. Muni
tions plants in the vicinity, using
hundred of tons of soft coal dally,
will suspend operations and big
quantities of coal will collect until
they resume operations again. Mr.
Hickok said that dealers will be sup
plied with soft coal for household
use, and that all the dealers will be
supplied equally, as far as possible.
"This order, then, will mean that
the soft coal usually used by plants
and industrial establishments around
here, will be furnished dealers for
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH!
household use?" Mr. Hickok was
asked.
"Oh, positively," was the reply.
"And as far as possible, the dealers
will be supplied equally, in accord
ance with the number of orders they
have placed with operators. Public
service corporations, such as the
Light and Power Company, and the
Street Railways Company, will be
supplied with enough coal to remove
all danger of shutdowns and cur
tailment of service."
Penalties Heavy
Mr. Hickok was asked what ef
forts are going to be taken to en
force the order, if any manufacturer
falls to shut down. "I don't think
that any one will disobey the regu
lation, when for every violation the
fine is $5,000 and six months' im
prisonment," Mr. Hickok said.
Mr. Hickok said this morning
that the order from Washington
came as a complete surprise to him.
Mr. Hickok has been making stren
uous efforts the last two weeks to
avert serious suffering in the city by
constant communication with the
State Fuel Administrator, and the
operators, in an effort to supply the
city with coal. The order effecting
the shutdown of all coal-using in
dustries, comes in time to avert a
possible shutdown of the Harris
burg Light and Power Company,
through a lack of bituminous coal.
Mr. Kaltwasser has announced re
peatedly during the last week that
his supply of river coal is exhausted,
and only by frantic appeals has he
managed to secure a few days' sup
ply of bituminous coal to enable his
plants to run. The new order is.
expected to make it possible for the
heat and power plants to be sup
plied with coal for future con
tingencies.
To Enforce Order
Mr. Hickok announced no plans
that are being considered by the
local fuel commission for the en
forcement of the edict. He said that
ho there woutd be no force
or authority from local sources re
quired to enforce the ruling, as ev
ery one he has talked to had ex
pressed his complete willingness to
comply with the regulations. His of
fice was besieged with hundreds of
calls all day from those who are in
doubt as to whether they are af
fected by the ruling. •
"All I have to say this morning,"
said Mr. Hickok. "is tln\t it is the
duty of every patriotic citizen of
Dauphin county to save fuel, and
that can bo done best now by com
plying with the regulations of th
new edict. 1 feel sure that there
will be no trouble whatever, and to
morrow will see every establishment
affected shut down for five days."
Mayor to Back Iliokok
Mayor Daniel U Kelster, In an
interview this morning, stated that
ho is ready to co-operate fully with
the federal coal administration to
enforce its orders. Policemen will
be used where it is necessary to
close up mills or, industrial estab
lishments which do not obey regula
tions. Mayor Kelster, in company
with Fuel Administrator Hickok,
does not antlciuate any trouble In
closing up establishments in the
city. However the Mayor will stand
ready to enlist the force of the city
to help the fuel administrator. "We
will do anything wo can to co-oper
ate. I will aid Administrator Hickok
In anything he wants to do," the
Mayor said this morning.
Shut at C. I. & S.
"About 1,000 men will be out of
work at the Central Iron and Steel
Works," said General Manager Rob
ert H. Irons this morning. "But.'
n.ost of tlieni have been laid oft the |
lust two weeks for we have been out
cf operation that long on account cf|
the lack of coal. It will not be a par-:
licular hardship for us. Practically
only one blast furnace has been go- i
ing and I cannot say yet whether
tuat will shut down or not. We have
been handicapped by not receiving'
fuel and also by the fact that the
government was compelled to side-!
track the special coal we use for!
steel making to points in New Eng- 1
land."
Good Soldiers
"We are making munitions for!
Uncle Sam and we must be good
soldiers," said W. P. Starkey, of the'
Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending l
Works to-day. "There is no UF9'
bucking against the government.
Wo propose to shut down every
thing except just enough help to
keep our furnaces warm, and keep
the pipes from -freezing; we may try
to get special permission to con
tinue the work of rebuilding the
part that was burned down, but if
we are not permitted we shall be
content."
