They don't know what they will

The bill will become law on Mon

go under the ban. Brewers were
not willing to say whether they
would make brew such as per-
mitted under the drastic act.
City dealers are facing consider
able loss if the measure becomes law.
Many of them have considerable
supplies of alcoholic beverages of

be unable to dispose of. Brewers

Fight Over johnson
Amendment to Treaty
Enters Final Phase
By Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 25.-The fight in
the Senate over the Johnson amend
ment to the Peace Treaty entered
its final phase to-day with a plea by
Chairman Lodge, of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee, that the Senate
accept the proposal, which provides
in effect that the voting power of the
United States in the League of Ma
tions be made equal to that of Great
Britain and her dominions. Leaders
expected to bring the amendment to
a vote late to-day.
Before the debate settled down to
the amendment itself there was an
other tilt over the activities of the
League to Enforce Peace. Senator
Brandegee, Republican, Connecticut
said thousands of dollars spent by
the organization in it's efforts for
the Treaty had been Simply thrown

in the Senate.
In reply Senator Hitchcock, of
Nebraska, the administration leader.

opposition was by Bolshevists and

What n magnificent prospect and
what fine site for q bridge" de-
clared King Albert, of Belgium, to
Governor William C. Sproul as "
rode on State street bridge yesterCay
on his way to Steelton and looked
over the lines laid down for Penn
syiVania's Memorial Bridge to it's
soldier and sailor sons. The Bel
glan monarch was impressed with
the splendors OF the State Capito
but when the Governor explained to
hlm as they rode from the building
through East State street the plan to
make the State Capitol the civic
center of the Commonwealth the far
travelled king became enthusiastic.
Governor Sproul, who had ex-
planned to the King during the visit
to his office plans for the ornamen-
tatlon of the Capt. oil, the formal en-
trance and the changes to the plaza
on the west front, found that he had
an eager auditor when he showed
the Drummer pictures for the new

the bridge. The King had seen the
model of the Brunner-Greiner
bridge in his trip through the SEN

BROWN SUGAR IS

Consumers Complain of New
High Prices For Cane

MOLASSES is GOING UP
Louisiana Product Not Under
Control of Federal
Board

Harrisburg and Steelton grocers
are selling brown sugar at II and
Is cents a pound.
Wholesale dealers to-day said that
Louisiana brown sugar, the kind
normally used only in a few dishes,
is not within the scope of the Fed
eral Equalization Board and that,
therefore, retailers who are so in
clined may charge any price and
make any profit they may see fit.
Attention was first called to the
17-cent brown sugar by irate GUS
toners of a Steelton grocer. 1t was
then learned that some grocers are
asking q cent more here in the city.
With the demand for all kinds
of sweetening greatly in demand of
the supply there were some indica-
tions that prices might mount still
higher. No one apparently knows
what the holders of the brown sugar
supply may ask in the near
future. Many grocers who have been
in more or less close touch with the
syrup and molasses say that prices
for these commodities may go sky
high.

William Fl. Johnston, president of
the International Association of Ma

vote of the $4,000 members of his

said that there wasn't a doubt that
similar action would be taken by
all the 112 affiliated unions.
Mr.. johnson said there was in

he said, in the metal trades, and "di-

at the meeting.
Secretary Lansing was confined to
his home with a cold and could not

Secretary Tumulty was present to
convey the views of President Will

AS they entered the White House
the Cabinet officials declined to make
any forecast. Some members, how

that stern action was necessary in
the face of the grave industrial stu

Director General Hines was warn
ed to-day in a letter from the Ma
tional Wholesale Coal Association,
that while the coal dealers did not
question the right of the railroads to
confiscate coal mined for the deal
ers, they would demand compensa-
tion for such action not merely on
the basis of the fuels value but also
on the basis of damage to business
and other factors affecting the repu-
tation of the dealers.
