Problems of Labor
Men Are Cited
as Important

Recommending the establishment
of a Federal fund, TO be enhanced
by state appropriations, to enable
workers to borrow at longtime
rates enough to provide homes for
themselves and thereby raise the
standards of citizenship. Joseph G..
Leland, 3rd, vice-president of the
United States Housing Corporation,
declared at the Chamber of Com
merce luncheon in the Penn-Harris
to-day that a housing board should
be established at Washington to fosz
ter a UNIVERSAL housing plan.
He declared the Housing Corpora
tion during the war prepared much
valuable data that could be devoted
toward making the plan feasible.
The Housing Corporation has pre-
pared rider for u bill which it is
hoped will pass Congress before
March 4, providing that through the
Secretary of Labor. the data of the
Housing Corporation should be made
available to the public, and that an
investigation of the Corporation s
methods be made so that the es-
tablishment of the Federal fund can
| be made possible at the next ses-
sion of Congress
or Local Interest
Mr.. Leland was introduced by
Horace j. Mcfarland, chairman of
the newly housing com
mittee of the Chamber of Com
merce. Mr.. Mcfarland has been
holding an important position on
the housing committee at Washing
ton. He declared that those present
should instruct their congressman
/ TO support the rider read by Mr.. Lee
land.
Mr.. Leland began his address 10y
declaring that 1000 years have
passed except for time, since the
war began. A new world is taking
shape, and those who do not adjust
themselves to it will be left way be-
hind. He declared our policy at
present was not one of reconstruc-
ton. but rather of readjustment.
When he went to Washington, he
said, production was way behind and
full production was not scheduled to
come until April of this year. Man
ufacturers guaranteed to increase
production if the labor could be Sc
cured and kept on the job. Labor
could not be kept on the job, how
ever, for there was no place to put
them. All along the Camden shore,
where shipbuilding was carried CT
extensively, the expansion was trc-
mcn'loIls, AMI tGtre was no place
for the workers to live, he said.
The greatest trouble was with
skilled mechanics, who insisted on
adequate housing facilities.
StabiIizing Conditions
ut was one problem, therefore, to
stabilize conditions by securing
housing" said Mr.. Leland, who pro-
ceeded to tell how money was secured
from Congress to carry on the work
Their first plan wnen hearing that
housing was needed. was to open a
registration bureau and to get resi-
dents of the localities to throw open
their houses to boraders. In this
way, more than $50 localities had
their houses to borders. In this
without the expense of building
houses.
He told about how the Perth Am
boy transportation was furnished to
carry the workmen back and forth
from Asbury Park, forty miles away,
where there was plenty of housing.
The expense of committing was large

MARKET SQUARE
CHURCH CLOSES
ITS 125TH YEAR
Special Services TO Mark Cen
tury and Quarter of
Active Life

Market Square Presbyterian
Church will celebrate its 125th an
niversary with special services Sun
day morning. 1t is planned to have
the services as nearly similar TO
those held at the time of the Tooth
anniversary as possible. The same
hymns will be sung and the sermon
will be preached by the pastor, DR..
G.. +. Hawes, from the same text
used by DR.. r. H. Robinson twenty
five years ago at the centennial
service.
The church organization will be
exactly 125 years old on Sunday. 1t
was on February 16. 1894, that the
organization of the first Presbyterian
congregation of Harrisburg was
completed by the installation of the
ruling elders, Samuel Weir. Moses
Gilmore and Adam Boyd. Services
had been held regularly some time
before this date. The first pastor.
Nathaniel r. Snowden. had been Or
dained October ., 1893.
Many residents of Harrisburg will
recall that in February, 1894. a very
elaborate celebration of the first
hundred years of this church's his
tory was held. This was in the pas
torate of DR.. George b. Stewart. The
proceedings of that occasion were
carefully preserved in a volume of
4S5 pages. Sunday morning it is
planned to reproduce. as nearly as
possible, the musical program rem
dered by David Crozier on that oc-
casion. The same hymns will be
sung which were sung at that time.
DR.. Hawes has chosen for his text
the one used by DIR. r. III. Robinson
as the basis of his wonderful his
toric address.
At the time of the celebration
there were sevcnty-nine names on
the roll of persons who had united
between 1927 and 1876. There are
thirty-one of these names still on
the roll of the church. The pastor
has written each of them a personal
letter, expressing the wish that they
may be present. There were ESQ
other names on the roll in 1894. or
these 1874 remain. The TWENTY-FIVE
years cover the last five years of DR..
Stewarts pastorate. all of DR.. i
Ritchie Smiths pastorate, the in
terval when w. d. Cooke served and
the three years of the present pas
tors work.

Paris, Feb. 14.-Preparations have
been completed for the homeward
voyage of the presidential party.
which will leave Paris tonight for
Brest on a special train and sail to-
morrow on the liner George Wash
ington, on which it came to France.
This time the party will be reduced.
the large staff of state department
employees and numerous experts who
came over with Mr.. Wilson remain
ing in Paris.
The party will comprise President
and Mrs. Wilson; David Il. Francis,
ambassador to Russia: White House
employees, secret service men, the
three hundred soldiers who have
formed the guard around the Murat
residence; Congressman George
White, of Ohio, and p. ID. Norton,
of North Dakota. and representa-
tives of three news associations. 1t
will number 319 persons.
Troops Coming Too
Not only will every cabin and
stateroom be occupied, but the vast
hold will be filed with several
thousand American soldiers who
have seen service in France and who
are going home to demobilization
camps.
The agreement on the constitution
for a Society of Nations by the COM
mission which has been framing the
plan was effected on President Will
sons lucky day-the thirteenth
and there are just twice thirteen ar
ticles in the document.
The plenary session of the Peace
conference to be held in the famous
clock room of the foreign office this
afternoon may mark the conclusion
of the first and possibly the most
important phase of the work of the
worlds greatest international gath
ering.
The view taken by many dele
gates early in the conference was
that nearly every important subject
to be adjusted depended for salts
factory settlement upon the Society
of Nations. which the conference
pledged itself at the outset to organ
ize. Thus it became the custom to
give a patient hearing to everybody
who came TO Paris to present the
claims of oppressed and dissatisfied
peoples and then refer the claims
for justice to the Society of Nations
to be created.
To Prepare Mass of Material
While the project of a Society of
Nations is under consideration by
the various governments represented
at the conference, preliminary TO the
final vote, the conference, through
its commissions, is expected to pre-
pare a great mass of material relat-
ing to the many subjects that will
make up the docket of the society.
AS soon as the conference has re-
lieved itself of this burden it is eX-
pected TO adjourn sine die. A high
ly competent authority has said the
date of adjournment would be about
June l.
