reporting for work.
The men demand an increase of
about so per cent. in wages, which.

have formed but no agreement was

York Fair Ground May

Camp For States Recruits
By associated Press

York, Pa. March 21.-Anticipating
passage of the administration bill for
increase of the regular army, nego-
tiations are in progress with the York
County Agricultural Society for use of
its 73-acre fair ground here as a con-
centration camp for a Pennsylvania
quota of about 1900 men. This leaked
out to-day following a conference be-
tween the fair officials and representa-
tives of the War Department and the
adiutant generals office at Harris
burg.
While the Workers taken into con-
fidence were cautioned to observe
secrecy, it is reported that the scheme
contemplates immediate concentration
and training of the Pennsylvania re-
cruits here after the army increase is
authorized. 1t is proposed to house
the soldiers in the permanent build
ings ON the fair grounds as better
protection to health than tents would
afford and to provide hospital and
other accessories in order that the
camp may be maintained for an in
definite length of time, possibly all
summer. 1t is said.
