TWO MILLS WILL
CLOSE FOR WEEK
Extensive Repairs to Be Made
in Steel Plant Rolling
Departments

Announcement was made at the
office of the steel plant this morn
ing that the 44-inch and 2S-inch
rolling mills will be closed down
next week while extensive repairs
are being made. The program for
renovation will include the over
hauling of the steam driving engine.
The engine will be placed in condi-
tion so the mills will be able to op-
crate until June when a motor drive
engine will be installed.
No employees will be thrown out
of work by the shutdown it was an
nounced. Workmen now on duty at
the 44-inch mill will be shifted to
the one-inch mill which, it is under
stood, will be placed into operation
temporarily. This mill has not been
in operation for some time due to
the lack of orders, it is said. Off
cials intend to place the men at
other work in the plant so that they
will not lose any time by the shut
down. Some of the workmen will
be shifted to the 34-inch mill where
two turns will be put on duty.
An order for the motor driven
engine was placed a long time ago
but officials have little hope of hav-
ing it in operation before June 1.
The installation of the motor driven
machine is another step toward the
elimination of steam engines in
many of the mills.

LITTLE HOPE IS
HELD OUT FOR
SPRING BUILDING
Real Estate Operators and
Contractors Vary Opinions
For Work of New Year

Optimism and pessimism are evident
in about equal amounts in the opin-
ions OF various local real estate men
and contractors for Harrisburg's
spring building operations. From an
swers received yesterday in request
for an outlook on 1920. the greatest
enthusiasm We'd with the dullest des-
pair.
A representative of the Brinton-
Packer Company declared that no new
work on houses will be started now.
and that there is practically no hope
for spring building either. In fast.
he was of the opinion that IL any
thing, the outlook for spring was
even gloomier than at present.
On the other hand, the Mentzer-
Romberger Company. contractors, de-
clare that building operations Will be
immense; that the scarcity of labor
Is the only thing which prevents them
from going ahead with the work now.
This company operates within hum
dred miles radius, and are only walt
ing for better weather in order to
begin their building in Palmyra, Leb-
anon, and various towns in Cumber-
land county.
G.. w. Milcy. of the Pennsylvania
Realty Company was of the opinion
that building operations would cease
to a great extent. Labor troubles and
general unrest in the country were
causing such excessive rises in the
price of material, that all houses and
apartments which are even now in
course of construction will have to be
abandoned.
The laborlng man has shown indi-
cations of conceding, however" said
Mr.. Miley. and if the Government
can only succeed in bringing down
food prices, they will be willing to
accept less wages and the work may
proceed.
Herman p. Miller, of Miller Broth
ers. said that he was really unable to
predict at this time. Conditions were
50 chaotic, said Mr.. Miller. that one
does not know 48 hours ahead OF
time what the cost of materials will
be and very often how much wages
will have to be paid. He looks for
very little building before the Riddle
CT the summer.
The Martin Construction Company
looks for a busy season, with the
nit that the present uncertainty
makes it very difficult to predict with
any accuracy, but are hopeful of bet
ter conditions by the middle of sum-
mer.
The consensus of opinion seems to
be that the prevailing unrest, tremen-
dous costs of material. high wages
and lack of proper Government super
vision are holding back building OPP
erations. There is practically no
chance for logical reasoning in an at
tempt at forecasting.

student officers he was promoted to
rank of captain. He was assigned to
duty with the 315th Infantry at Camp
Meade, Md, on August 81, 1917, and
soon later was appointed Regimental
Adjutant. Colonel Fleming acted in

New 18th Division to
Be Well Organized by
Middle of January

Samuel w. Fleming, Jr., Lieuten-
ant Colonel of the Eighth Infantry,
National Guard of Pennsylvania, has
just returned from Philadelphia
where he has been attending a con-
ference of Regimental Commanders
of the new State forces. Major
General Price, commanding the
Twenty-eighth Division, called this
meeting in order to have General
Carter, U. S. A. Chief of the Militia
Bureau, explain to all, the plans of
the War Department in connection
with the reorganization of the Guard.
Most encouraging reports were re-
ceived from the various Regimental
Commanders. If all plans progress
within the next few weeks as they
have in past, the entire division will
be on a sound basis by the middle of
January. General Carter stated that
the War Department was heartily
in sympathy with General Price and
the Twenty-eighth Division would
give all the support possible. He
stated that all supplies and equip
just as soon as. the State forces were
ready for mastering. General Car
ter expressed his pleasure in the ex-
cellent choice of officers for the
Twenty eighth. He was also greatly
pleased when told that the enlisted
personnel was composed for the
most part of veterans of the past
war. 1t was the general belief of the
officers attending the conference
that universal training would soon
be adopted by Congress and that
members of the Guard would be ex-
empted from this training.

Schwab Speeding at
"Mile-a-Minute" Rate
to Pittsburgh Dinner

Pittsburgh, Dec. 20.-Rather than
disappoint the 5000 guests at the
dinner to be given by the II. j.
Heinz Company to its employees
and friends tonight, Charles M.
Schwab, steel master, has engaged
a special train to bring him from
New York to this city. Mr.. Schwab
and Governor Sproul are to be the
principal speakers.
Desiring to attend the funeral of
a friend in New York this morning,
Mr.. Schwab was confronted with the
problem of finding some way to
reach here in time for the dinner.
A special train with a-mile-a-min-
ute schedule was the only way out
of the dilemma. One was engaged
and left New York this morning
after the funeral of Mr.. Schwab's S
friend. The train is running on
schedule of more than fifty-seven
miles an hour. 1t will cross the
state of Pennsylvania in less than
seven hours.

Local Real Estate Man
Forecasts Spring Situation

Real estate activities in Harrisburg
and vicinity this winter and the com"
ing spring seasons will unquestion-
ably be watched with keen interest on
the part of the real estate promoter.
and by that is meant the builder, the
contractor. the owner, and the broker
as we'll as the more unpretentiou3
speculator. the tenant, who by recent
bitter experiences must have defin-
itely set his mind toward the happy
goal of becoming his own landlord.
AS the housing situation in Harris
burg has never before gone through
such an acute stage. and the question
naturally arises: will the situation
be relieved the coming spring?" This
question has come to the writer's at
tention, as IL probably has to the av-
orage real estate promoter. time and
time again. AS the writer sees it.
after a careful survey of local con-
ditions, the housing situation in gem
cral cannot be greatly relieved IN
the very near future, when one has in
mind the comparatively small build
ing operations now in progress.
The blu lder c' To-Day is relieving
tho situation just so far as the st1g-
gering market prices en- building ma
terial will permit. He has no incen.,
tive, other, perhaps, than one of pub
lic-spiritedness in undertaking bui! =
ing operations. He must ere?t his
hcmes to-day with feeling Of con-
fidence toward the average home
seeker-the home buyer, that he will
be enabled by that confidence to dis
pose of his operations in a manner
whereby his undertakings have prov
en- safe and secure, and only safe and
secure.
Aside from the erection of new
homes We are face to face with the
abnormally congested situation which
prevails. and has prevailed for the
past two years. throughout the city
and vicinity, with no surplus OF
homes to be had for renting purposes
To be sure, a large percentage of pri-
vate homes have been converted into
either temporary rooming-houses, OF
apartments. which has been the only
practical solution for relief. 1t must
be remembered that all tenants are
not in a financial position to even
think OF purchasing a home. There
always have been tenants and there
always will ne. The tenant, the good
tenant, is the backbone of the land

SPANISH WAR
VETERANS ACTIVE
Harrisburg Camp to Be Com
manded During 1920 by
Herman Bitner

Harrisburg Camp No s, United
Spanish War Veterans are just winding
up a very successful year. At their
last meeting they elected Don Manohan,
camp commander; Herman Bitner,
senior vice-commander Charles Hantz-
C. Morton, officer of the day; Harry
Cluck, officer of the guard, to act in
these capacities for the year of 1920.
1t is expected that on Friday, January
2, 1920, when these officers will be in
stalled, William e. weidner, of Read
ing, the Department Commander of this
district. will be in attendance and con-
duct the installation.
The Camp has taken favorable action
on the suggestion of erecting a COM
munity hall for all veteran organiza-
tions in connection with the hoped-for
State Armory, and have appointed a
committee to consult with other veter-
ans with this end in view.
The recruiting of the new units of the
Pennsylvania National Guard to be To-
Gated in Harrisburg is making very de-
cided progress. Captain Wilbar, of Co.
D., Captain Smith of the Supply Com
pany and Captain Meredith of the
Headquarters Company of the Sth
Regiment as we'll as Captain Shoe
maker of the Governors Troop all re-
port that enlistments are Coming in
rapidly and that the character of the
men enlisting is far above the average.
The has beens" of the late war, ex-
guardsmen, members of the Pennsyl-
vania Reserve Militia and brand new
rockies are all showing real interest in
the organization and it augurs we'll for
Harrisburg's we'll established reputa-

source of definite pride to every Har-
risburger to know that it's citizens are
ready to back our Uncle Sam in time
