WORMLEYSBURG PAYS TRIBUTE TO VETERANS Borough Gaily Decorated For Homecoming Celebration; Hold Memorial Services The Wormleysburg celebration for the men and women who went away from that borough to enter the serv ice was well under way this after noon at three o'clock. Early this morning final preparations were made and last minute plans per fected. The town from one end to the other and crossways is decorated. Flags are waving from nearly every house, and the poles and trees are twined with varicolored bunting. Across the street where the parade will be reviewed there hangs a huge American flag of tremendous dimen sions and it is under this flag that the soldiers will march in their final parade. Borough Is Pleased Everyone in the borough is warm in their praise of Burgess J. Fred Hummel, who is said to have been one of the most energetic workers for the success of the homecoming. Burgess Hummel and Mrs. Luther Shoemaker were elected by the bor ough a month ago as chairman and treasurer of the committee on ar rangements to prepare for the cele bration. They have been working steadily ever since that time, aiid when the last service man returned last week, the date was finally fixed for the welcome. This afternoon the parade got away promptly at 3.30, and wound its way about the town. In the van were the fifty men who represented W ormleysburg in the World War, preceded only by those older vet erans, the soldiers of the G. A. It. and the Spanish-American War. Others who shared honors in the parade were the members of the Red Cross chapter of the borough, who marched in uniform; the fire men, the school children and the committee of arrangements. Memorial Service Following the parade the hungry soldiers made a rush for the ban quet table, which was laid for 5 o'clock in the town hall. Every thing that could be imagined was served out to the boys, and at 6 o'clock the attack was still going strong, although most of the objec tives had been reached and taken without a struggle. Mrs. S. S. Glessner was in charge of the ban quet committee and it is safe to say that she is the most popular woman in Wormleysburg to-day. After the banquet a memorial service was held in the hall, com memorating the services of Charles Hauck, 315 th Infantry, 79th Division, who fell in action, and Cletus Weaver, who died in camp in Geor gia. There are more than fifty service men and women in Wormleysburg and all of them have returned safely with the exception of the two for whom services are being held. Prac tically every corps in the Army and Navy are represented by the men. The committee on arrangements include: Burgess Hummel, Mrs. Luther Shoemaker, Charles Sher man, Ralph Brown, Luther Shoe maker, A. J. Wright and R. P. Hummel. Mrs. Charles Black is in charge of the chicken corn soup supper and festival which will close the evening's festivities.

U., in a letter to the | committee which is raising iunds for Harrisburg's memorial to sol- I diers and sailors, expressed a senti ment which, in the opinion of the members of the committe, should be echoed by the 85,000 men, women and children of Harrisburg. Mrs. 1 Gardner wrote: "Enclosed you will find check for 1 S2O from the Harrisburg Women's i Christian Temperance Union, to I cover Miss Minerva S. Hepford's ' name. She is one of our members, j She was overseas in the World War S and we honored her by placing a service star on our topic cards. There is nothing that can give us more pleasure than to cover that star with $2 0 for the memorial fund."

Oct. 11.—The strike and lockout of pressmen and feeders in New York, which was followed by the walking out of several hun dred compositors and the suspen sion of a large number of magazines and trade publications of national circulation, entered a new phase when direct charges were made by George L. Berry, president of the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants' Union, that the trouble originated with "Bolshevist leaders" who are committed to a definite policy of revolution. Major Berry further charged that these leaders have inaugurated a "campaign of terrorism" and that men loyal to the international unions are being assaulted by scores.

ISUGAR SHORTAGE PREVENTABLE President Wilson Permitted England and Japan to Gobble Supply A well-known Harrisburg manu facturer lias sent the following let ter to his salesmen explanatory of the sugar shortage, and showing it to be largely clue to the refusal of President Wilson to heed the request of sugar dealers to look after the interests of the United States two months ago, instead of permitting England and Japan to corner the supply: "Contrary to the fondest hopes and expectations, the sugar situation instead of showing signs of improve ment is now very serious and will become more so until after January. Almost everyone is asking: 'What is the trouble?' Fruit canners, whole sale grocers, retail grocers, candy makers, housewives and others can not obtain a sufficient quantity of sugar for their requirements and the cry goes up from all over the land: 'Where is all the sugar'." "The Sugar Equalization Board as sured us some time ago that there would be plenty of sugar to supply our requirements. Yet we are now faced with an actual shortage al most as serious as the shortage the latter part of 1917. Claims are made that there is hoarding. By whom? The manufacturers say if they don't get sugar soon they will close down their plants. The wholesale grocers say they are unable to supply then customers. The retail grocers have no sugar to offer to their customers. "Some say the housewives are hoarding sugar. But the house- Wives say 'not us, we cannot get enough for cunning purposes and table use.' "The charge of hoarding doesn't seem to answer the question. A care ful view of tlie receipts of raw sugar by the refiners and their meltings, and the shipments of refined sugar to the domestic trade would seem lo support the conclusion that a larger volume of refined sugar has been exported than would be justifiable taking into consideration our re quirements. "A reported sale of COO,OOO tons of Cuban sugar to England sliows what may happen it' Uncle Sain doesn't get busy and look after his ■own interest pretty soon. England will gobble up all the sugar In sight In Cuba. Japan has purchased I lie entire Philippine crop at a higher price than the California refiners could afford to pay, which means a diversion from this country of prob ably 100,000 tons. "The situation boiled down amounts to this: There is a world shortage and foreign countries are willing to pay high prices for raw sugar and they are coming to our source of supply for it. President Wilson was urged several months ago to take some action that would give the Equalization Board the authority to negotiate for the pur chase of the 1919-20 crop. He did not heed the warning and has ap parently done nothing whatever in reference to the matter. The Board cannot take any action without au thority from the President. "As one prominent sugar official recently said: 'lt is up to the Presi dent.' All indications point to a short supply and higher prices. Al ready the best sugar producers are reported to have sold their entire out put at eleven and one-half cents per pound, New York basis." Longshoremen Flatly Refuse Ultimatum From War Department New York. Oct. 11.—A committee representir-g the striking longshore men to-day flatly refused a virtual ultimatum from the War Depart ment in regard to the handling of four freight ships and six passenger ships now on their way to New York. The War Department had an nounced through William 7.. Ripley, chairman of the National Adjust ment Commission, that it "interrled" that, fhe ships should he handled. Mr. Ripley asked the strikers' rom, mittee if they would promise to take care of these ten ships, nnd received a flat refusal. Major Powell, the Army transport service of the War Department, had previously ap peared before the National Adjust ment Commission of the United States Shipping Roard and requested that the men handle four incoming freight and six passenger transports operated by the Government. Aboard one of these is Colonel Ed ward M. House. As a "concession," the longshore men's committee stated the men would be willing to handle Colonel House's mail arsl baggage on what ever ship he is a passenger, hut de clined to work any of the other ships. \ HARRISBURG tSsjf TELEGRAPH BAD DIPHTHERIA CONDITIONS NOW More Cases Reported Than Before in October; Mainly Among Foreign Element Diphtheria is prevalent in Penn sylvania more than ever recorded in any previous October according to State Department of Health of ficials to-day. Almost 150 cases were reported in September and thus far 208 have been reported in October, which breaks the record. The de partment has spent over SB,OOO for antitoxin in the last few months to check the spread. The cases appear to he mostly among foreigners in industrial coun ties and the increase is declared to be due to the fact that heads of families have not called in doctors until cases were advanced and that there were delays in reports. The centers appear to be in the Shamo kin-Mt. Carmel district of Northum berland; Westmoreland, Washington, Erie, Bradford and Lackawanna counties. State and local health officials have been warned of the conditions. Application lias been made to the Public Service Commission for ap proval of the merger of the recently formed Industrial Power Company, which has franchises for Carbon county and the Stroudsburg Elec tric Company, operating at Strouds burg into a new corporation to be known as the Lehigh Industrial Power Company, of Allentown, t"he capital stock to be $33,500. The case is set for a hearing on October 23. The Coplay Cement Manufactur ing and the Whitehall Cement Manu facturing Company. The cases will be heard during the fall. Tin- State Industrial Board Is pre paring a series of codes providing for safety in various branches of in dustry which it is intended to put into effect by the end of the year.

Virtually All Mechanics in Five Shops Are Now Out on Strike Hy Associated Pttss• Altoona, Pa., Oct. 11. Virtually the entire mechanical force at the Pennsylvania Railroad shops in Al toona, East Altoona, Juniata, South Altoona and ilollidaysburg were on strike to-day to enforce the senior ity rule at one of the shops. The trouble started on Wednesday when the mechanics at the Altoona enginehouse quit work because they objected to the appointment of an assistant foreman from the Holli daysburg shop. Yesterday in response to the call of the leaders of the shop crafts, which include machin ists. boilermakers, blacksmiths, sheet metal workers, electricians and car men, approximately 10,000 men walked out in sympathy with the mechanics. Others were expected to join the strikers' ranks to-day. The decision to call a general strike, union leaders said, was reached af ter ail efforts to adjust the difficulty with railroad officials had failed. About 300 special duty men, minor bosses, who are ordinarily distrib uted along the system, have been brought here to take the place of the strikers and others were ex pected to-day. A number of railroad policemen also are here, but there has been no disorder and they have not been placed on duty. Pickets are stationed at all shop gates. Meet ings of the strikers, it was announc ed by the city authorities, would not be disturbed. The Mayor has ac cepted the offer of the union men to assist in preserving order and some of them were acting as traf fic officers to-day. , So far the walkout has not inter fered with traffic, but officials of the company said there may be ser ious interruption, both in passenger and freight service, should the strike continue. Many Attend the First Social Event of Season Held in Y. M. C. A. Hall The "Y" building was crowded last night with more than 250 mem bers and their wives who are gath ered for the first social event of the season, put on by Jack O'Neil and his corps of assistants. Walter Diet rich was the man in charge of last night's program and he got it over with a rush. Beginning with a performance in Fahnestock Hull, where "Charley'' Tittle led the Stevens Memorial or chestra in • irring tunes, and Wil liam Ween, a monologuist, brought down the house, the guests were called to the gym by "Doc" Miller. Before they left the hall, however, they were presented with flowers by "Y" overseas girls who went all through the audience with their baskets. Walter Dietrich passed out cards with numbers which were dupli-' cated somewhere in the crowd, and when each couple had found them selves, the crowd went to the gym, where the stunts were pulled off; the suitcase race being- one of the most popular. The grand march there was led by Mr. and Mrs. Al. K. Thomas. Following the gymnasium pro gram, refreshments were served by S. S. Rutherford in the assembly room of the "Y." The committee in charge indued: John F. O'Neill, general chairman, assisted by Al. K. Thomas, J. Wil liam Bowman, V. Grant Forrer, Walter Dietrich, Frank Foose, Har ry Beonard, Ross Swope, Frank Co vert, Frank Roth, C. Binford Scott, Dr. M. V. Hazen, Robert B. Reeves, S. A.
