MUST
WORK FOR LARGE
CITY CONCERNS
Will Not Hire Men at Middle
town Who Leave Impor-
tant Industries

General labor conditions of the
larger industries Of Harrisburg are
not expected to be affected to any
great extent by the demand for
workmen by contractors in charge of
government work at Middletown. Of
ficials in charge of the big building
program, it is understood. have. ac
sured heads of the various concerns
that men who leave their positions
with the more important plants to
come to Middletown to work will not
be accepted.
Among the plants and concerns to
be protected by the new ruling. it
is said. are the Steelton plant of the
Bethlehem Steel Company, Central
Iron and Steel Company, Philadel-
phia and Reading Railway Company,
Pennsylvania Railroad Company and
those engaged in work important in
the conduct of war.
IIaborers Leave Plants
Several of the larger concerns
have reported a loss in laborers to
the Middlctown officials. Men in
charge at Middletown toook imme-
diate action on the matter and de-
cided to refuse work to men who
leave these concerns to get work on
the Middletown job for the small
difference in the wages. This de-
cision was handed down to officials
of the various concerns with the as
surance that il would be rigidly en-
forced to discourage laborers leaving
one position for another.
At Steelton officials said this morn
ing that they have noticed consid-
cradle loss in general labor at the
plant. but did not contribute it en-
tirely to the large job. This plant is
one of the most important in the
country, engaged at present on large
government orders, and officials
claim that if the number of laborers
are cut down to any great extent
they will be hampered greatly in the
operation of the plant. Officials of
other plants in the city have also
made similar reports on conditions.
Heads of the various conceRns and
plants are doing much to assist the
government in work at Middletown.
The Steelton plant is furnishing cin-
ders for filling purposes and have
loaned the contractors some skilled
labor for a short time.

HUNS MENACE
MOSCOW DESPITE
THE PEACE PACT
Armies Advance From Three
Sides on Temporary Cap
ital of Bolsheviki
BY associated Press

Moscow, March 19 Delayed. Not
withstanding that peace with Ger
many has been ratified by the Con-
gress of Workmen's and Soldiers
Delegates, the German advance in
Russia still continues, the evacuation
OF Petrograd having served only to
change the German objective to
Moscow.
According to reports printed in
the newspapers this morning, the
Germans are moving toward Moscow
from three directions, southwest
west and northwest. From the south
west they recently have advanced
twenty-five miles from Konotop
province of Tchernigov, in the gem
cral direction of Bryansk, which is
2S5 miles from Moscow by rail.
From the west, the Germans are
approaching Smolensk, which is about
2SO miles from Moscow. In the
northwest they have captured the
station of Rosenovskaya, in the gov
ernment of Vitebsk.
The order to evacuate the hos
Eitals and other institutions in
Gjhatsk, 100 miles from Moscow, in
dications that a further German ad-
vance is considered imminent by the
government.
Declare state of Siege
The governments of Poltava, Khar-
kov and Tchernigov have all been
declared in n state of siege by the
Ukraine government in an effort to
save Kharkov and prevent a further
advance by the Austrians supporting
the Ukraine Bourgeoise Rada.
NJ. Tchitcherin, of the Bolshcviki
Foreign Office. in a statement issued
to-day says that the Soviet govern
ment is negotiating informally with
Ukraine for peace and that he hopes
formal negotiations will open
shortly.
Rumors that Austrian and German
prisoners of war have occupied the
trans-Siberian railway are charac-
tcrized as an absolute falsehood in a
dispatch received by Leon Trotzky
the Bolsheviki Foreign Minister, in
response to inquiries made of the
representatives of the Bolsheviki
commissaries at Irkutsk.
The Soviet government is rapidly
disarming and disbanding the old
army and eliminating its influence
from public affairs. The Moscow
Soviet has removed from it's eXecu-
tive committee all soldier representa-
tives, and similar action is taking
place throughout Russia.

Dangerous nees. The play is new,
Girl" written. by Allen Leiber,
and produced under the
wellknown management of Edward
+. Rowland. Love. mystery, and sem
sation are the predominating features
OF this big sensational drama, which
deals with young working girls eff
forts to fight the battle of life and
protect another girl who has not suf-
ficient mind and character to protect
herself. The big sensation of the
play is the efforts of a gang of inter-
national spies to gain possession of
a war secret, with the intention of
selling it to the enemy. This is pre-
vented by Peggy, "The Dangerous
Girl" who is one of the female op-
eratives of the Secret Service, and
who unmasks the man higher up"
and causes his arrest, thereby saving
her friend, Marion Kingston.
Besides a strong heart interest,
there is a clever comedy strain that
relieves the tension of the drama.

sides has sung to our "Sammees" in

the country, among the most promi-
nent being Camp Lewis, at Tacoma. on

includes among her encores in all her
