8 KIWANIS CLUB HOST TOG. A. R. Bolshevism of Some Foreign- Born Workers Scored at Weekly Luncheon At the weekly Kiwanis luncheon li. the Penn-Harris to-day, the locul post of the G. A. R. was present as the guest of the club. More than a score of veterans of the Civil War turned out for the occasion. After a few words by Dr. Silas C. Swallow, President Neefe introduced the Rev. Dr. Lewis Seymour Mudge, who made a stirring address on Americanism. Dr. Mudge scored the intrusions and insurrections of for eign-born "Americans," who. after i tasting of the fruits of America, i turned on her and endeavored to : imbune her with the spirit of the j Reds, the Bolshevistic spirit. He | closed with a tribute to the 100 per ; cent. Americanism of the old G. A. j R. veterans. Almost before Dr. Mudge had . ceased speaking. Captain Francis H. j Hoy was on his feet and called for j a volley of appreciation from his , veteran comrades. The old soldiers i stood up and faced the captain, I who called: "Attention! Aim! Fire!" [ and the volley of applause sounded like the crackling of musketry. The j club then sang the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" in honor of the j veterans, and the luncheon closed • vith the "Star Spangled Banner." The s.lent boost was presented by ' Edgar Marks, in the shape of a lit- | tie American flag pin, and Frank . Neely won the membership prize, a < ticket to the Kiwanis Club ladies' j night, presented by the entertain- ; nient committee.

"I know that the people or the [United States are greater than any [ part of that people." said Mr. Lane, i and as a body they will move for ward regardless of clashes between the interests. The public group will be asked to make suggestions auk to give advice as to the industrial policy of the country, these to be presented to the President." After the Conference was adjourn ed Mr. Lane said the President probably would increase the mem bership of the public group, so as to make that body more representa tive. Organised labor may be asked to participate through delegates to be named by the President. The public representatives probably will name subcommittees to study and report on various phases of the industrial situation and then con solidate their findings into the pro nouncement of the Conference. Mr. Lane said. This course is similar to that urged on the original Confer ence by (he chairman. Capital Group Meets Representatives of capital were called to meet and determine their future course. Some of the delegates said that since they had been "dismissed" j there was nothing further for them to do. but others thought the group should issue a statement to, make clear its position. To-day was the 13th day the confer ence had been in session. A total of 37 resolutions were introduced. It is planned to refer all of them to appro priate committees of the new confer ence for consideration. Klbert 11. Gary, chairman of the U. S. Steel Corporation, went to New York yesterday and has not returned. He was appointed by President Wilson as a member of the public group but his friends could not say whether he would return to participate in the new I conference. Scores A." K of 1,. L. F. Loree, president of the Delawnre and Hudson Railway Com pany. and a member of the capital group, declared in a formal state ment that the action of Qj-ganized labor in withdrawing from the con ference and "the whole history of the conference preceding it made it perfectly clear. "That if the American Federation of Labor can bring it about it will not be possible for any man to work in the United States unless he be longs to a trade organization within the American Federation of Labor. "That it will not be possible for any men to associate themselves in work councils or other voluntary as sociations for the purpose of collec tive bargaining, it being the fixed intention of the American Federa- [ tion of Labor to confine the relations between employes and employes to their organizations." "What the American Federation of Labor could not endure*," added Mr. Loree. "was the discussion of machinery other than their own for securing the minimum of conflict, described in the President's letter to the conference." The public group later held an executive session and A. A. Lon don, of Buffalo, a member, said the delegates showed a willingness to respond to the President's appeal. Bernard M. Baruch, chairman ofj the group, presided. Bernard Baruch, chairman of the public group, said he considered that the conference virtually had ended, when the labor delegates withdrew last night. Tho / Tssueks now before the public. Mr. Baruch said, and pub lic opinion alone can decide. Mr. Gompers in his statement to the Industrial Conference did not go into details as to the support the federation would give the steel strik ers. The decision, he said, came after the executive council had con sidered in detail reports from the various strike centers. Defeat late yesterday in the in dustrial conference of the resolution proposing intervention in the steel strike, which the labor group had urged with all the power it possess ed, was understood to have led the federation's executive council to take its action. Labor withdrew from the confer ence after its final effort to obtain adoption of a collective bargaining resolution had been defeated by the vote of a majority of the capital group.

I fIiIWISBURG TELEGKAPB GENERAL HAS NARROW ESCAPE American Mission to Armenia Fired Upon by Bandit Force • By Associated \Press Constantinople, Oct. 23.—Major General James G. Harbord, head of | the American mission to Armenia. I was congratulated upon his arrival here on his escape from capture by bandits a -tew miles from Mount Arrat, whilerhe mission was return ing to Frvan. Part of the mission was atacked and held prisoner for a few hours on September 30 by Kurds, Tartars and Turks, who fired upon the automobiles carrying the Americans, several of the mission narrowly escaping death. The attack came while the cara van was proceeding through the valley of the Araxes, but fortunately General Harbord's car had reached the plain leading to Erivan before the attack was ma le. It is believed that had he been captured he would have been held for ransom by the bandits. Doubted Nationality The original reason for the at tack appears to be that bands who are warring with the Armenians doubted the nationality of the prisoners were really Americans they were released, their automo biles were restored and most of their property which x had been stolen was given back to them. The chiefs declared they desired peace, hut asserted that peace was possible only if some strong outside power Intervened. They expressed the fear that thousands would die of starva tion this winter owing to unsettled conditions in Armenia. What happened to the mission Is an almost daily occurrence in that section, where raiding bands are al most constantly destroying prosper ous villages, both Armenian and Moslem. Where the mission's auto mobiles were detained was formerly an Armenian village. Ten days be fore the mission reached there a Moslem hand bore down on the place, wrecked the buildings, drove out or killed the mfile inhabitants and held the women captives.

Director General Hines to-day denied publish ed reports that he had threatened to have troops sent to New York to take the place of express strikers. "This report is entirely without foundation, and to avoid a misunder standing I derire to deny it immedi i ately," Mr. Hines said. "There was never any mention of the use of troops." v Baruch Goes on Strike Against High Prices V aahlngton, D. C., Oct. 23. Ber nard M. Baruch has gone on strike against he high coat of clothing and. as his way of doing his bit, proposes to make his present wardrobe last a while longer. Notice from his boot maker that $45 would be the price of his winter footgear was the last straw. "It is years since I bought any clothing. I have a man who does that for me." said the ex-chairman of the War Industries Board. "He knows what I want, buys it, and I pay the bills. The other day he came to me and said that 1 ought ,to know the shoemaker was charging $45 for new shoes and the tailor $l6O for a busi ness suit. I told him I would have to try and struggle through with what I have. "It is not a question of the $45 or the $l6O with me. It is a question of reducing the cost of things. Prices are now high because of under-pro duction: there are not enough shoes and enough cloth for suits to go around. The man who now buys shoes or clothes he can very well do without, ia simply making conditions worse and moving up prices on the man who has to have shoes and who may not be as fortunate as I am in having the money. I will not buy any more until I really must have them, or production is back to normal." Marshal French Bitterly Attacks Sinn Feiners By Associated. Press London, Wednesday, Oct. 22. Speaking at Wallasey, Cheshire, to night, Field Marshal Viscount French, Lord Lieutenant and Gov ernor General of Ireland, bitterly attacked the Sinn Fein Government of Ireland. Among other things, he said: "The self-constituted, illegal and insane Sinn Fein Government is pos sessed of a great secret army called the "Irish Volunteers" to which are attached assassins whose business it is to murder police and soldiers who question their decrees in any com munity. The people are frightened into screening the offenders, and courageous efforts on Ihc part of the police are abortive. We are anxious to give self-determination and to be faithful and just to all, but little can possibly be done until law and order are established. When the people hear of 'coercion' I hope they will consider the matter in a just light." BREAK INTO GRANARY Middleburg, Pa., Oct. 23. The granary of George W.
