tended TO Sherry's and 100 ia l went
out. Their action came as such a
surprise to the management that the
dining rooms We're closed and many
hundreds of guests turned away
When Mr.. Wilson, the manager,
was asked last night. whether the
walters would be fought. lie replied:
I'VE do not know as yet what We
will do. We may employ women
walters and fight the men. but we
have not come to any decision"
1t was the first time in the history
of Sherrys that its dining room was
closed.
The strikers went to the New Am
'sterdam opera House. where 2,6CO
men, out from the St. Regis. Kn' elk
erbocker. Plaza. Vanderbilt. Waldorf
Astoria, McAlpin, Cla:idge and Astor
hotels, had a meeting. Union OFF,
cials announced that demands had
been made upon three other big
hotels, but declined to mention the

War Labor Head Says
Careful Plans Will
Give All Peace Jobs

Washington. - Chairman Felix
Frankfurter. of the War. Labor Poll
cies Board. authorized the following
statement on the plans of the Gov
ernment to readjust industry:
There is no occasion swhatever
this country. There are enough Jobs
if we carefully make the adjustment
that has to be made from an ener-
getic war production basis over to
the eventual peace basis.
Secretary Baker has given orders
that there should be no curtailment
of war work in the War Department,
which is, of course, the biggest war
producing agency, except after con-
sultation with representatives of the
War Industries Board and the De-
partment of Labor.
The point is that before you cut
down what releases raw material the
War Industries Board should know
where the material is, and the De-
partment of Labor, through the en-
ploymeuts service, should be able to
take up any labor released so there
should be a minimum of dislocation
involved in turning the country over
to pcacC basis,
chairman Hurley indicated that
the snip industry would go on in this
country and would need as I2any
men as they bave now. The whole
process is to guide the thing with
the necessary intelligence and fore
sight. AS to the wage scales. there
should be no quick changes because
that would be an unhealthy process
I think we want to make q gradual
healthy adjustment. / think If the
interests of labor are adequately rep
resented in working out these things
labor with the rest of the interests
of the country will accept what
changes are necessary in going oveI
to a peace basis.
What labor should have is what
the country is entitled to have-that
is. the charge should not be one
sided but fairly representative OF
the Government, labor and industry
1--WE must fasten our minds on
this. The needs of this country and
the needs of the world call for great
productivity by the United States OF
all kinds of goods. If we keep oui
heads, and if we work these things
out in cooperative way. there
ought to be very little dislocation in
turning this nation over to peace
purposes.

Troop No. 4 Adds Gold
Star to Service Flag;
Entertain "Y" Worker

Troop No. 4 held its first indoor
meeting for five weeks the other
evening, 1t was an important and
interesting meeting, as Garfield Nc
Alister. our former scoutmaster. was
home from Camp Sewer where he
is stationed as Y. NJ. c. A. secretary.
We were all mighty glad to see
him and enjoyed the fine talk he
gave us.
Election of officers was held at
this meeting. The following will
serve for the coming year: Henry
Klugh. president; John Hobart, vice
president; Edward Keller. secre-
tary, and Dixon Speakman, treas
urer.
Last, but not least we added a gold
star to our service flag in honor of
Eugene Davis, an old scout of Troop
No. 4, who was killed in action in
France.
The troop is wedding out some of
her inactive members anu replacing
them with new ones. Watch out,
other troops, Troop No. 1 is the
oldest troop in the city, and now
we're going TO try to be the liveliest
one.

Ta-de-dum! Beat a Drum
in the Scout Drum Corps

After the parade last Monday, at
which four scouts from different
troops gave the music. there were. a
number of appeals that headquar-
ters start q drum corps. This would
certainly be a good thing for the
scouts of Harrisburg, and then we
would have our own music whenever
we needed it.
Any scout desiring to become a
member of a general drum corps
in the city should leave his name at
headquarters, and should a sufficient
number signify their intention of
joining this corps. We will secure an
instructor in drumming. OF course.
we need buglers and fife players
too.
Every good sized city in the coun-
try has its scout fife and drum corps,
and there is no reason why Harris
burg can't have one too. How about
this, scouts, let's hear what you
think.

Victory Boys Doing Good
Work in War Work Drive

Scouts are in the habit of going
over the top in whatever they un-
dertake, and there is no doubt but
that they will do so in the present
United War Work Campaign under
the title of Victory Boys.
AS there is no campaign through
the troops, and it is being handled
through the schools, it is impossible
at the present time to tell how
many Scouts have become Victory
Boys, but we hope that there is not
a scout in the city who has not al
ready become or will become a
Victory Boy;
The city committee complimented
the scouts by making Scout Execu-
tive Virgin city chairman of the
Victory Boys and Victory Girls, and
no scout will go back on his execu-
tive.

TROOP 20 HIKES TO
HUMMELSTOWN
Scouts Have Time of Their
Young Lives on Long
Distance Tramp

Last Thursday the troop took a
hike to the Hummelstown cave. We
left the church at 7.30, and took the
car at Sixth street and rode TO Pax
tang. from which point we hiked.
When we were about half way
there we stopped at schoolhouse
playground to rest. but most OF the
scouts did not do much resting. They
made good use of the swings and
seesaws. Scout Long performed
acrobatic stunts on the +rapeze, while
Scout Conrad busted himself trying
TO get into the schoolhouse.
About mile from Hummelstown
we saw a man trying to pull a
threshing machine up a hill with the
aid of small tractor He was not
able to do 1t. because of the road.
AS true scouts. we all put our shoul-
ders to the machine and away 1t
went up the hill. When we reach
ed the top the man thanked up and
said: IF you scouts hadn't come
along, I'd still be pulling at this to-
morrow morning." He offered us
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-11-15
&NEvvS AND NOTES Or THE BOY SC0UTS8

generous sum of money, which as
true scouts again we refused.
After stopping to buy some pies
and candy at a store in Hummels-
town we hiked along the track.
While walking there Scout Hoy pick
ed up a nice greenback with the hg-
ure one on it. This we said was
our reward for our good turn.
We selected n spot beside the
creek to eat dinner. In few minu-
ties four large fires were built, and
then was the happiest time of the
day for the scouts. After a good
meal and a rest we were ready to
go through the cave. We tied our
selves together and proceeded to
enter. With the aid of several good
lamps we were able to see the diff
ferent formations as we'll as to find
our way.
It was $50 when we came out
again. and to our immense surprise
we heard whistles and bells pro-
claiming peace. We immediately
hurried to get back home, thinking
that scouts would be needed for spe-
cial duty on this great occasion. We
rushed breathlessly into scout head
quarters and when we were able
to ask how and why, we learned
that the news was all a fake. We
did enjoy our hike, however. and
did not have to wait long for our
special scout duty. Monday morn
ing at $50 we were on the job
downtown. All day we were busy
distributing literature, assisting traf-
fic officers. and parading. a
Examinations will be held in all
classes at the regular meeting of the

Scouts Make Good Showing
in Big Celebration Parade

It is a matter of pride with every
scout and scout official in the city
that The scouts made such a good
showing in the peace demonstra-
tion on Monday. We had the only
parade in which there was any at
tempt to remind people of the fact
that they should continue to buy
War Saving Stamps; give to the
coming war drive; and save for the
next Liberty Loan. 1t was good con-
structive work that parade.
1t reflects the willingness of the
boys of Harrisburg to serve on all
occasions and for every good cause.
