Burnham Steel Plant to
Start Work on Monday

Lewistown, Pa, Iune AFTER
being idle just two months. the Lo-
gan iron and steel plant at Burnham
Will open in all departments on Mon
day. With this resumption it will
be the first time in at least thirty
years that it will not be operating
under the Lebanon scale. The mill
manager says the company has
adopted an independent scale that
provides for the payment of s10.25
a ton.
Up until April last the Lebanon
scale called for the payment of $12.75
a ton, and on that date the scale
was reduced to 1925 and the en-
ployes of the Lebanon mill went on
a strike, which is still on. The re-
sumption of work at the Burnham
plant will mean the employment of
about $50 men who have been idle
for the past eight weeks. The Lo-
gan iron and steel plant is the second
largest plant of its kind in the
county.

Greystocks, D., P. & s.. A. C. or the

Real Boxing Show at
Allentown; Pete Herman
Versus Terry McHugh

Never before in the history of
pugilistics in Allentown has a
bout created so much interest as
the coming clash between Terry
McHugh and Pete Herman, for
the bantamweight title of the
world, to be held here in Mealy's
Auditorium. on the night of
June 8.
This interest not only abounds
locally but has attracted the at
tention of fight fans all over the
State, and the advance sale of
tickets indicates that a large
delegation of visitors will be
among the local fans.
CHARTERED in a hotel in the
county, the 19-year-old challen-
ger is putting on the final touches
of his training for the most i'm
portant bout in his career. Ed
ward kid" Ferry, an old-time
fighter, has taken charge of the
bantam to supervise his training.
and has included among his
sparring staff Eddie Moy, Young
Neil and others of the best local
talent.
The spacious auditorium, util-
ized during the winter months as
dance hall. has been converted
into a modern arena with a seat
ing capacity for several thou
sand. A new cooling system, new
lighting system and other inn
provements have been installed by
Promoter Culbertson for the com
fort of the patrons. Four six
round bouts make up a welI-bal-
anced bill preceding the cham
pionship tilt. The first bout will
be staged promptly at $50. thus
enabling the fans from nearby
towns to return home that night.
