CHURCH BUILDING
ST. Lawrence Edifice Rounds
Into Shape; Synagogue Nearly
Ready For Dedication

Rapid strides are being made in the
erection of the handsome new church
and rectory of the st. Lawrence Ger
man Catholic church. in State street
near Second.
The building now has progressed
far enough to give the congregation
an idea of what the building will look
like when completed. In the front the
stone work is now up about fifteen
feet. In the rear the building is vir-
tually completed on the outside. The
rectory is now in n condition which
permits the carpenters and inside dec
orators to get at work. A large force
of masons is busily engaged in cut
ting the stone for rushing the work.
Chisuk Emmuna's new temple, at
Sixth and Forster streets, is now al
most completed and arrangements are
being made by the congregation,
which worships in the synagogue in
North Fifth street, to dedicate the
building. The new synagogue is a
handsome building along the best lines
of those favored by the Jewish congre-
cations.
Building operations on the new tenn
plet to be erected for the Kesher Is
real congregation at Capital and
Briggs streets. probably will be under
full headway in the early spring
The congregation is now located at
Fourth and State streets. All three
of the congregations have been forced
to move because of the Capitol park
extension.

PAPER MAKERS
THREATENED WITH
DRASTIC ACTION
Alternative of Session of Con-
gress to Pass Remedial Legis-

Washington, Feb. II. - 1t became
known to-day the print paper manu-
facturers yielded in their opposition
to the governments efforts to restore
normal prices and agreed to permit
the Federal Trade Commission to de-
termine a fair scale only when con-
fronted with the alternative of per-
sonal action by President Wilson and
a special session of Congress TO pass
remedial legislation.
At President Wilson's direction, it
was said, Secretary McAdoo summon
ed one of the principal manufacturers,
who was acting as spokesman for the
others and informed him that mas
much as the government itself was not
permitted by the constitution to i'm
pose prohibitive restraint upon the
press, the administration did not in
tend to remain idle while an alleged
monopoly, through extortionate prices
for print paper, effectually imposed
greater restraints than the government
might ever contemplate.

IN
NEED OF LABOR
Excavating Work Comes High
in All Parts of State; Cost
About Doubled

Scarcity and high price of labor are
the main reasons for the high figures
being quoted by contractors for ex-
cavating work in all parts of the
state.
When the York school board opened
bids yesterday for excavation work on
a new school building there was only
one bidder and his price was so high.
in the opinion of the board. that It
was rejected. The York contractor quot
ed seventy five cents per cubic yard
Tor the general run of excavation, 81
per cubic yard for rock, and 81 per
cubic yard for hauling away the dirt.
Harrisburg contractors to-day said
the iisures were not eNorbitant by any
means, considering the conditions with
which they have to contend at pres
ent.

ton and Supply Company, 222 Market
street said to-day, when the matter
was brought to his attention. that as
long as teams cost about So day

U-BOAT CAMPAIGN
NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR CONGESTION
Railroads Declare Weather Re-
spon~ible; Ship Agents to Do
All in Their Power

New York, Feb. 17.-Owners and
agents of ships declared to-day that
they were ready to do their part in
relieving the railroad freight conges-
tion. They predicted that exporters
would have no cause for complaint
that they could not find vessels to
carry their goods-at least no greater
cause than existed before the declara-
tion of the German submarine block
ade.
Railroad men were inclined to agree
that the new submarine campaign
played only a small part in the freight
situation. They pointed out that be-
fore the German edict went into ef-
feet the British steamship companies
reserved So per cent. of their cargo
space for the use of their government.
The most important factor in the situ-
alton they said was the weather which
had been the worst in many years.
Twenty-one merchant ships arriving
here yesterday promised greater cargo
space than the port of New York has
enjoyed for some time. Fourteen OF
these came through the war zone. At
tention was called. however, to the
fact that the arrival of so many Yes-
sells from Europe at this time did not
throw as much light upon the severity
of the new submarine peril as 1t
would q week hence because most of
them had entered the war zone before
the period of immunity expired on
February 8.
War risk insurance to-day showed
q slight reduction from the high rates
prevailing since the beginning of the
German blockade.
