WAGE INCREASE
HOLDS NOLURE
FOR ONE CLASS
Railroader Delves Into Fig
ureS and Discovers Revis-
ion Works Downward

Since the publication of the pro-
posed increase of wages of railroad
men by Secretary McAdoo's organi-
zation the average railroader has
been doing a lot of figuring to dis
cover just where he particularly will
be affected by the proposed new
schedule. one railroader said to-
day:
The proposed increase in wages
as outlined in the report of the
Wage Commission made public on
May S. will not to my mind, amount
to as much as the public AXIS.
The report says: Advances pro-
posed. however. will be subject to
deductions for any increases which
may have been granted by indi-
vidual roads since December, 1915.
In some cases deductions will al
most. if not altogether. cover the in
creases suggested according TO the
report. The roads themselves in
1915 and 1917 increased wages an
amount equivalent TO 35O,O0O,OO0
II applled to the present number of
their employees. As to those who
have received such increases, the re-
port says we advise no other course
than that the scale be adhered to-"
According 10 the above. a man
who was receiving $3.50 per month
in 1915 and his salary was increased
to 5000 during 1916 and 1917, would
receive fifteen per cent. increase on
$50. which would amount to S22 so
and which added to $50 would
amount to s172.5O or S27.50 less
than he is receiving at the present
time
This same railroader suggested
that a large doubt was arising in
the minds of many of the men as
to whether the proposed changes
were all that had been anticipated,
especially where the revision is
downward.

TERRIFIC STORM
CAUSE OF MUCH
PROPERTY LOSS
Houses Unroofed and Trees
and Poles Torn From
Ground

/ Thousands of dollars damage was
done by the fury of rain and wind
which flayed the city for ten min
utes late yesterday afternoon, it was
estimated this morning.
Trees, roofs, poles, windows and
wires suffered equally under the on
/ SIauSht OF the wind. During the
storm all traffic was suspended and
I the streets were cleared of pedes-
I TRANS. The rain fell so furiously 1t
was impossible to see across a city
3 street. The roaring of the wind and
rain was regularly punctuated by
the crash of falling trees.
Workmen are busy in every part
or the city to-day clearing up the
debris occasioned by the storm.
( From Riverside Park to Allison Hill.
the grown is strewen with uprooted
trees. Capital Park was covered with
the huge branches of trees torn off
/ by the wind. Three of the largest
trees in the park were uprooted dur
7 ing the storm. Seven trees in a row
were uprooted in the extension zone
Houses Unroofed
Much of the city was in darkness
| last night, and street car traffic was
seriously handicapped by falling
poles and trees. AS the wind blew
down trees and poles, wires were
pulled down and in some parts of the
CITY, connections were not made all
night Hundreds of homes and busi-
ness houses did business by candle
light during the evening. High ten
sion wires torn down by the falling
trees and poles made traffic in the
city highly dangerous after the
storm and policemen and residents in
the neighborhood of these wires did
good work warning drivers and ped
estrians away from the dangerous
areas.
Besides the damage to trees, which
made the city look last night as
though it had fallen across the path
of invading vandals, property dam
age was in some cases appalling. The
loss in property occasioned by broken
windows and ruined roofs, is almost
impossible to estimate. The roof at
the Harrisburg Boot and Shoe Com
pany was partly blown off. The roof
of the building above the reservoir
was torn away.
Horse Killed
In Twelfth street near the Jones'
town road an entire row of houses
was unroofed. At 513 North Thir-
teenth street, the house tenanted by
1. b Dickinson and BENJAMIN Straw
was unroofed. The roof on Georges
drugstore, at 1906 North Third
street, was blown off.
The roof was blown off the stable
of the Schmidt bakery and a horse
killed in the crash of the falling
debris. The bakery was held up for
hours while wire repairs were made
Numerous signs were torn down bv

U. S. WILL CALL
MORE AND MORE
MEN IN SUMMER

Washington, May 11.-More
than 100000 men have been
called in the draft so far and are
either in France, in camp or un-
der call to go into service before
June /.
The total of 100000 includes
all men summoned in the May
Contingent. There is every indf-
cation that even a larger incre-
ment will be summoned in June
than was summoned in May, and
a progressive monthly mobiliza-
ton continue through the sum-
mer and fall months as the can
tonments are expanded. 1t is
expected that at such a rate the
Army will reach n full strength
of we'll over 100000 within the
next twelve or thirteen months
1t is possible. some officers saw
that the number will be closer
to 100000 than 100000.

Sugar for canning can be secured
by housewives this year only by the
use of a sugar card"
Ihls was announced through the
Dauphin county food administration
this morning. In addition. plans for
sugar rationing during the canning
season which will make hoarding
impossible, were outlined by the food
administration.
For canning purposes housewives
will be allowed to purchase sugar in
lots OF twenty-five pounds. This rule
goes into effect after next Wednes-
day. They will be allowed to pur-
chase this sugar only after they have
signed certificates stating the amount
desired, the amount of sugar on
hand, the amount used in 1917 FOR
canning and preserving and a pledge
to the effect that the family agrees
not to order sugar for the purpose
of canning in excess of the amount
actually needed for canning pur-
poses.
Prepare Blanks
1t was pointed out that for pur-
poses other than canning, sugar will
continue 10 be sold in quantities OF
two 10 five pounds TO the family in
city districts, and five to ten pounds
in rural districts.
The blanks are being prepared and
distributed through the Harrisburg
Grocers' War Association, which is
cooperating with the local food ad.
ministration. Thirty thousand oil
these blanks are being distributed
throughout the city and county. The
consumer when ordering his canning
supply of sugar will sign the card al
the grocery store.
The food administration has taker
this method of supplying housewives
with sugar during the canning sea.
son as the only possible means OF
insuring an equitable distribution OF
the sugar supply throughout the
country. 1t was pointed out that only
by just and proportionate distribu-
ton of the sugar on hand in the ma
tion can the normal amount of pre-
serving be accomplished this year.

London May lit is declared
on unquestionablc authority that the

Brotherhood Men File
Protest With McAdOo;
Appeal For Freight Side

Washington, May 1.-THE first
formal protest against the recon-
mendations of the railroad wage
commission was filed to-day with
Director McAdoo, by the Brother
hood of Railroad Station Employees.
1T will be absolutely impossible
for the railroads to maintain a per-
manent force of freight handlers at
the rates indicated in the reeommen-
dation," the protest says, "in view
of the fact that they have not recon-
mended the basic eight-hour day."
